Owner Surrenders:

January 1st, 2026: NorCal Bulldog Rescue is unable to accept owner surrenders.

Due to the high volume of these requests, our limited resources require that our efforts continue to be focused on our top priority, which is Bulldogs in danger of euthanasia in area animal shelters.

Please review our article “How to Find A Good Home for Your Dog” for resources to assist in rehoming your dog.

Senior English Bulldog Lives Matter. Where do Senior Bulldogs go?

Senior English Bulldog - AI Generated

Ever wonder who cares for the seniors or unwanted bulldogs when a family no longer has time for the bulldog that has been a family member for a number of years? There is no “social security” for Bulldogs after time served with families that turn them out as seniors. Bulldogs that were once someone’s special puppy and loved so much – often aren’t as loved as much when seniors or outlived their time with the family. There is no “farm” or home for senior Bulldogs that are in their golden years. Don’t be fooled, there are no lines or lists of ‘senior citizens’ waiting to take these bullies home for their little time left with us. These senior Bulldogs depend on other people that take the time, to show concern and open their hearts for these Bulldogs that are no longer puppies – but just as adorable nonetheless. The need for help with senior Bulldogs and unwanted bulldogs far outstrip homes that can take them in or be willing to accept them as part of their families.

Help is needed for seniors:
Foster homes to care for them and not have them in kennels.
Financial support can be as easy as making a planned pledge each month for a little as $5 a month, the price of one cup of coffee at a coffee house, less than lunch at a fast food restaurant, and even less than a matinee ticket for a movie.
Rethink your relationship with your bulldog. If you are going to consider giving up your senior, ‘rethink that’ choice. It is a choice when you got your bulldog and a choice when you give them up.

Foster Homes Needed

Northern California Bulldog Rescue Logo

NorCal Bulldog Rescue is in desperate need of foster homes!
**Especially in the greater Sacramento area**.
If you can help out, even if only for a short time, please contact us. The Bulldogs do not have to be integrated into your family of dogs; many of them need to be placed as only dogs, so they need to be kept separate. If you can gate them off, this would be a tremendous help.

Please email for more info: prungo2@aol.com or mflily1@aol.com
Thanks!!
