The Bully Ball is an annual fundraiser benefiting Georgia English Bulldog Rescue (GEBR) of Atlanta, GA. The Bully Ball is an exquisite evening with a seated dinner, open bar, Vegas-style casino, live and silent auctions, and incredible live music.
In the last 14 years, The Bully Ball has raised more than $1.7 million to help care for neglected English and French Bulldogs in the Southeast. The funds raised have helped rescue over 1060 bulldogs. GEBR also provides much-needed education to the community about the breed and supports Georgia shelters with the basic needs of the animals in their care, such as blankets, donated food, dog houses, and more.
GEBR relies solely on donations for the care and treatment of the rescued Bulldogs that are admitted to our organization. Our vet bills are staggering. We also need volunteers, supplies, and support to care for and treat the rescued English Bulldogs we take into our organization. We rescue English Bulldogs regardless of a medical condition and as foster homes become available. If you live in the Atlanta area and want to be a part of a great organization, please contact us. We are always in need of foster homes. If you have always wanted an English or French Bulldog but have no English or French Bulldog experience, fostering for GEBR would be the perfect initiation to the breed. We provide all vet care; you provide the food and TLC.
We do not have a kennel as our dogs are fostered in private homes. They are re-acclimated to family life, and their temperament is assessed. After a brief foster period (minimum of 2 weeks), recommendations for placement are made based on information provided by our foster families. Foster families also give input throughout the adoption process.
English and French Bulldogs are very high-maintenance creatures. They require prior knowledge of their daily care and potential expenses of ownership. We strive to place our dogs in “Furever homes” that will meet those needs and have the means to provide medical care in the future. Our adopters must be completely prepared and aware of what English and French Bulldog ownership entails BEFORE both parties agree to an adoption. We adopt in Georgia and surrounding states.
Georgia English Bulldog Rescue, Inc., (GEBR) was incorporated in January 2009 as a non-stock, non-profit corporation with Federal Tax Exemption as a public charity under Section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
