FEBR has a form on their website and I got the contact number for Adopt-A-Bull on their website.

Does anyone have any other contacts in Florida for bulldog rescue? Or alternatively know anyone who would want a possibly special needs bulldog in their home?

I'm on the road going out of town for he weekend but stopped to post and reach out.

Short version: my dad is abjure bulldog lover and would take the dog himself but his Great Pyrenes aren't other dog friendly. Woman who works in my dad's office has a bulldog just over a year old named Carl. Her family hasn't been great to him, once he outgrew his puppy appeal, kept him gates in the kitchen maybe one walk a day, one of their daughters kicked him off the couch so hard once he sprained his hip. Don't get me started if I see these people they'll get a huge piece of my mind. So my dad and another guy in the office Dan convinced them to give Carl to Dan who had an older bully who passed and he promised to take good care of him and it upset them to see Carl mistreated. Carl started having seizures. Come to find out the original family knew this, dumped him, and won't help with any vet costs. Dan doesn't make a lot of money and he has a brand new baby at home and his wife is on unpaid maternity leave and he said he just can't afford the costs right now but wants the best for Carl so he's looking for a rescue.

Thoughts anyone?

Gah! I wish I was more knowledgeable with regards to rescues but if those that Christine provided do not work, write again and we'll figure something out!

As always, you guys are all awesome. Thanks so much [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] I have compiled a list for my dad to contact. I will keep everyone updated. My dad will make sure they do right by Carl. I know he wishes he could keep him and get him fixed up at the vet himself, but given the reaction his male dog had to Ruckus when we've visited, it just won't work.

Oh I'm SO sorry to read this story, but it sounds like you have things under control. Best of luck to Carl, and kudos to YOU and your dad for trying to help this poor baby!

Also include Georgia Bulldog Rescue... They are close snd might take him.

I know Adopt-A-Bull rescue in Florida has shut down. I was fostering my bully from there and a few months ago they called and said they went bankrupt and were shutting down so I adopted my bully because I fell in love! I don't know of any current ones in the Florida area though but I wish you the best of luck! Let me know if you find any in Florida as well.
