I’m seriously considering adopting a new bulldog, I’m in the U.K. in West Yorkshire and I’ve signed up with some reputable dog rescues.
I’m prepared to consider other breeds if it’s a good match but wrongly or rightly it’s bulldogs who are my real passion and have most experience with.
I also love other bull breeds.
Does anyone know of any bulldog rescues that’s known to be reputable? Rather than just relying on google. I don’t have transport so the Leeds area in West Yorkshire would be best for me.i have a friend who will happily take me elsewhere when she can but she works awkward shifts, is currently setting up her own business and is also a single mum of two neuro diverse teenage girls! As you can imagine she doesn’t have much spare time to taxi me around.

Though as an aside, i feel like I’m betraying Freya. I would give anything to have her back home but it’s just not possible. Even if or when I get a move it wouldn’t be fair to uproot her again even if it is with me. I don’t want to in all honesty but I have to put her needs first.
But I’m really struggling without her, it’s affecting my mental health especially and my social anxiety, on top of that I don’t feel safe anymore here. Having a bf by my side 24/7 would be a huge blessing and a comfort for me.
Hopefully it will also help a dog who deserves a good loving home and human. I know I can give that to him/her.
 
Are you not going to have the same problem, Donna, if you get another dog?

No, this time I will not let the neighbours or anyone else dictate to me. I’ve really thought seriously and considered various possibilities but I don’t think the original trouble causers would even attempt to try it again. Even if they did it’s highly unlikely they would be believed a second time around. The police soon saw things for what they were, even the one who closed the file. They didn’t take any of the accusations made seriously and closed the file straightaway.
Unfortunately the ones who put me on the wanted by the police website knew nothing about any of it other than someone had claimed she was a pitbull, strangely enough when the police told her they weren’t taking anything further that’s when she claimed Freya was a pitbull and produced a photo of just me instead of the photo of me and Freya who while taller and wider chested than an English bulldog looks nothing like a pitbull.
It’s a little bit worrying when it comes to the police and one hand doesn’t know what the others doing!
