Southern California Bulldog Rescue provides shelter, re-homing assistance, and funds for medical treatment for over 250 bulldogs each year. These dogs come to us from animal shelters, other rescue groups, and owners who wish to surrender their purebred bulldogs. We help bulldogs in the Southern California area find suitable homes. Our network consists of many volunteers who foster, do home checks, transport, and place bulldogs who come into our program. Since 2007 So Cal Bulldog Rescue has been rescuing bulldogs in need in the Southern California area. We rely entirely on donations for support.
Entrants will receive a copy of the finished calendar at completion.
Note: Photo contest runs 12:00 AM (Pacific Time) on Monday, June 29, 2026 to 8:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Friday, July 24, 2026. All contributions go to support Southern California Bulldog Rescue and its programs.
Southern California Bulldog Rescue
Mission Statement
The mission of Southern California Bulldog Rescue is to rehabilitate and find loving families for homeless bulldogs. We aim to provide the care and time needed to prepare unwanted bulldogs for placement. We pledge to do our best to ensure they have a better life because of rescue.
Our Goals
- To accept Bulldogs whose owners can no longer keep them.
- To retrieve Bulldogs from shelters or any other source so they may live to see another day.
- To find responsible, stable, loving new homes for all rescued Bulldogs.
- To only place Bulldogs that have been neutered or spayed to help reduce the population of unwanted pets by having the necessary surgical procedures performed before placement.
- To rehabilitate Bulldogs before placement by providing necessary medical treatment and training to increase the chances of successful placement.
- To place Bulldogs in suitable homes as soon as reasonably possible, so they can start their "new lives" quickly.
- To thoroughly screen applicants before making placement decisions.
- To inform prospective adopters about the rescue program and the requirements for taking care of Bulldogs.
