Please visit www.AmericanBulldogRescue.org to apply! Remember - Adoption is always the best option! If you can't help by adopting a homeless pet, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to American Bulldog Rescue, 4 Terry Drive, Suite 1D Newtown, PA 18940 or paypal [email protected]. We cannot place dogs in homes with children under 10 unless that dog has lived with kids or is in a foster home with kids. Thank you.

Adoption Process
All interested people must submit an application, which is on our website. If the application appears to meet our qualifications we follow through with vet and personal references and background check. If those pass, we perform a home visit. If successful and up to our standards, the applicant schedules to meet the dog. If foster family and the adoptive family are happy during that meeting, the applicant signs a contract and can take the dog home. We require a donation of $400. They receive the dog's vet records and a copy of their contract.
