About ABR

Posted: December 6th, 2008

American Bulldog Rescue is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to rescuing and finding forever homes for bull breed dogs in need. American Bulldog Rescue is not a shelter, but an all volunteer group where the dogs recieve loving care in a network of dedicated foster homes until the time when their forever family is found. American Bulldog Rescue operates solely on the generous donation of bulldog lovers so every dollar donated goes directly to helping a homeless dog. So please consider helping us continue our life saving efforts for these amazing dogs. Please, take a moment to look at the dogs we have currently for adoption. Your generous support will not only help them, but the countless dogs that will come after them, desperate for a chance at a new life.
