Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue                       August 2017

Live.  Love.  Rescue

LIVE.  LOVE.  RESCUE. 

Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue is a non-profit, completely volunteer-driven organization dedicated  to saving and re-homing Bulldogs with loving families.
 
Hundreds of Bulldogs are lost, abandoned, taken to animal shelters, or surrende red to rescue every year. Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue accepts Bulldogs whose owners can no longer keep them, and retrieves Bulldogs from shelters and undesirable situations. Our Bulldogs are placed in suitable homes as soon as reasonably possible.

Princess Paisley Thanks Our Supporters!

We love all our supporters, and so does Paisley! 

She was picked up by animal control wandering the 
streets. Her hair and skin were in terrible condition so the shelter 
contacted us. They knew we could give her the care she needed and deserved. You could smell her before you could see her! At only a year old, she has seen and experienced a lot. But how does a young girl cope with showing more skin than hair?

That is where our army of supporters stepped in. Some made special monetary donations to pay for her immediate care and extended stay at the vet. Erica Wesson with P Dawg Accessories made and sent her a beautiful pink paisley collar and leash. We made some new friends with Toby Blum of Fur Angel Blessing Blanketeers (FABB) who sent her a special toy, treats and handmade blanket they prayed over.

All this generosity, love and good wishes is paying off for Miss Paisley. She has regained most of her hair, and she has gained four pounds. Her potty training is about complete and she is now great on a leash. Our goal is to have this once pitiful girl-now princess-adopted around the first of September.

Recently we put out a special plea for additional items from our Amazon Wish List and we were immediately rewarded by receiving a truck load of much needed items.

Paisley and all the dogs and volunteers of Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue thank all our various supporters. It is you who make what we do possible!

Meet  Barkley

Have you ever seen a 9-year-old Bulldog going on 6? Barkley is your man! If we did not have his papers, we would never believe this dog is day over 6. In fact, he looks and acts younger than some 6-year-olds. It is his rambunctious behavior that led to him being surrendered. After nine years with his family, and with diminishing eyesight, he found it hard to adjust to a little human in the family. He would either run over the toddler, or be surprised by the toddler's movements and not be sure how to react. It was a very tearful surrender, but his family could not stand the thought of crating him or keeping him in another part of the house. They wanted him to have a place where he can run free, as he was meant to be, and not be afraid of hurting someone.

Barkley is very healthy. He is recovering from a skin allergy that left him with many small bald spots that are beginning to fill back in. If you have Bulldogs, you have probably seen this. If you are wanting a sweet older boy with lots of miles left in him, Barkley could be your guy.

Supporter Corner:
Meet Crossland
I have adopted three Bulldogs from these fine folks. They are dedicated to their cause, love their breed and are vigilant in finding the right homes for their sweet pups. Everyone I have worked with has been wonderful, kind and patient.   
Nothing but great things to say.

Consider Becoming a Foster Family 
 
Our ability to rescue dogs from undesirable conditions is limited by the foster homes available. We always need more caring homes in the metroplex to help these precious dogs begin a new life. For more information on how you can get involved, visit our Volunteer page on our website.
