One year ago we took in a lovely 2 year old dog. She was supposed to be an easy placement. Our volunteer took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with a "false" pregnancy. Several days later Lucy delivered 5 healthy puppies, 4 of whom are pictured here. Only Shelby looks like her Mom. So many people watched them on a web cam, I thought you would like to see how they turned out. All are smart ,fast, and having happy lives. Luigi is looking for another home as there are a few dogs in his home and he inherited his Mom's attitude towards other dogs. He is the black and white one.

Lana update! Our girl is enjoying herself...feeling better. She has been enjoying country life. She had a sonogram, there are no masses. She does have a heart murmer and needs a cardiac workup. Her fur is starting to come back, she had a massive yeast infection, she has gained weight, her ribs are no longer visible. We are still checking her out, but her foster Mom Andrea Dayton tells us that she is acting more like a dog and having fun. All these tests cost money, even though our vets are very generous with discounts, it still adds up. If you can donate towards Lana's cardiac workup she would really appreciate it, she has a tremendous will to live and lots of spunk. UPDATE! Lana had her cardiac work up. She has a leaky aortic valve, and it seems that she has lupus, an auto immune disease. She is responding to meds, but she will probably stay at Shady Paws, as we will not be able to spay her. Lana is looking for a sponsor.

Please note that the Long Island Bulldog Rescue & BCA Rescue Network rescues only the purebred Bulldogs sometimes referred to as "English" or "British" Bulldogs. The AKC breed name is just “Bulldog”. There are other web sites and phone listings for organizations that rescue other bull-breeds, such as -- American Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Olde English Bulldogges, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Bullmastiffs, and so on.

*********************************************************************************************************

Welcome to the Long Island Bulldog Rescue website.

 

Long Island Bulldog Rescue is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization

 

Our mission is to help English Bulldogs through education, prevention, intervention and adoption.

 

We fulfill our mission by helping, healing, and homing  abandoned, neglected, abused, or released English Bulldogs.

 

Why do so many English Bulldogs need rescue? 

·         They’re very popular.  English Bulldogs suffer from being very cute, very popular, and very misunderstood. 

·         Many come from puppy mills.  Thousands of well-meaning people impulsively buy adorable puppies from the Internet, puppy stores or individual puppy brokers.  Those poor little pups often come from puppy mills from the US and Eastern Europe. Torn from mothers in their first weeks, they often have terrible health problems, genetic disorders, and behavior problems from bad breeding, neglect, and abuse.  

·         Many have changes in family  circumstances.  Sometimes a bulldog’s family separates, suffers loss or illness.  Sometimes a member of the family enters the military. These days people are losing their homes and their jobs.

What does Long Island Bulldog Rescue do?

  • Prevention
    • Help people learn to plan all pet adoption – including purchase -- as they would any other member of their family: with care, patience, and love.
  • Education
    • Conduct speaking engagements; Work with schools; Collaborate with other rescue organizations, such as the Mayor’s Alliance of NYC and the Bulldog Dog Club of America Rescue Network.   
  • Intervention 
    • Take and make calls/other communication with people in crisis; Complete all emergency rescue operations; Provide emergency pick up and evaluation; Give emergency and routine medical care, ranging from spay/neuter to bone setting to life-saving heart surgery;  Work with shelters, law enforcement, other rescue and humane groups.

·         Adoption

    • Maintain a data base of screened people waiting to adopt. Want to be considered? 
    • Extensively interview and introduce dogs and people.
    • “Match” people with dogs in need of rescue so each enjoys a “forever” home and relationship
    • Provide follow-up support to ensure successful homing and finalize adoption.     

WE ARE IN ALWAYS IN DIRE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES!

 

PLEASE think about being a temporary foster home! You will need to have an area where the newcomer can be separated from any other dog in the household and you must have dog experience.  Be a hero please give a bulldog a chance!

 

        Contact us at  bulldogrescue1@aol.com 

                                             or 631-689-6245.

 

Characteristics of English Bulldogs

Bulldogs are unique in their own way.  They are the clowns of dogs.  Always doing silly things to make you laugh.  They are compassionate, loving animals who will steal your heart in no time.  (Please visit www.thebca.org for more information about our wonderful breed.) Keep in mind that bulldogs are sensitive, even though they look tough! For example, they:   

·       Overheat very easily due to the structure of their face.  It is important that they be kept cool in the summer.  If your bulldog is having difficulty breathing and is panting excessively you must cool them down at once.  You can use a cool shower, bath or hose.  Even feeding them ice will help cool their internal temperatures.  Do not plan to jog with your bulldog

·          Can make a mess when they eat, or when they drink.

·     Many bulldogs would like to sleep on the couch with you all day. Many others are very active, and want to play.  A lot.  It is important to make the right match for you and the pup. 

·        Need their wrinkles cleaned so that they do not get infections.

·        Need your love and attention.  They are a very social breed.

   

PLEASE Do Not Buy a BULLDOG over the Internet, from Pet Stores or from brokers. 

 

It is best to buy from a reputable breeder.  It is worth the wait!  It is very important that you are able to meet the mother of the litter.  

Only you can protect yourself and another innocent puppy from the heartbreak of needing to reach out to rescue because you have a dog who is suffering from horrible behavioral or medical problems because of bad breeding, neglect, or abuse in the first weeks of life.
