Will you be a homeless bully's Valentine? Recycla-bull Terrier Rescue is offering adorabull limited-edition Valentine's day "eggheads" by Melinda M. Golden. For a $25 donation, receive one of these very special ornaments, plus a Valentine's card from one of their homeless bullies! Recycla-Bull recently took in Blondie (see below) from the New York shelter when we had no available foster homes to nurse her back to health. And before that, they saved demodex-ridden Hannah from a Connecticut shelter. With your support, they can continue to help tri-state dogs when we can't. Visit their home page to order or donate: www.rcbtr.org |
 |
Melinda also makes custom eggheads of your own bull terrier. See her website for more information: www.mmgoldenart.com

In December, we pulled "Blondie" from a NYC shelter. Her shelter intake exam report read: "mass like structure on the last quarter of mammary gland, teat already burst, open wound seen, seems like gangrene, possibly mammary gland tumor." Yikes. Another group, Recycla-Bull Terrier Rescue, agreed to foster and nurse her back to health. Luckily, there was no gangrene (whew!) and no surgery or stitches needed, but she was extremely underweight and her wound and mastitis needed two different antibiotics. She still needs a few more pounds, but she is a feisty petite puppy -- probably no older than 18 months -- who'll be ready for a new home soon. Thank you, Recycla-Bull!

Juda. Juda lives in Westchester County, NY, outside New York City. His owner moved up north from Florida to live with his aging mother and now, sadly, has little time to spend with Juda. He wants Juda to be in a home where he can get the love and attention he deserves. Juda is 5 and a homebody/couch potato, but not really dog friendly. So he should be an only pet. Please fill out our application if you're interested in giving Juda a new home. | |
 (A reminder to folks: if you're going to buy a puppy from a breeder, contact us or first visit the Bull Terrier Club of America to find a reputable one.) |
Courtesy listing for another rescue: Awww, we wish we had some cuter pictures of Rufus. He's a puppy, as you can tell from his gangly, leggy bully body! Born in February 2011, he was given to an all-breed rescue group in Pennsylvania after his "breeder" couldn't sell him and his sister and had to "make room" for another litter. We suggest Rufus be an only pet so he can get all the attention he missed out on in puppyhood. Big Apple will contribute to manners classes for this boy since we believe all good bullies (and bully owners) should go to school for a little while! Contact us for more information. |

Can you foster? There are several bull terriers in area shelters that need homes. Because we, and other groups, sorely lack experienced bull terrier foster homes, we can't always take them into rescue. If you can keep a dog safe, warm and fed, and away from other dogs or animals while we evaluate him/her, please let us know! Crate, vet care, food and even training (which we encourage: training is fun!) are provided. We just need you to supply the love and structure which, unfortunately, many of these dogs have never known.

About Us:
We are an independent Bull Terrier rescue group based in New York City. We find homes for English Bull Terriers who have been abandoned, surrendered or otherwise need a new living situation. We prefer to place dogs within two or three hours' drive from New York City, but are happy to consider homes farther away provided we can find a regional colleague to meet you in person and do a home-check for us, and provided we can find, or you can supply, appropriate transportation for the dog. We never airship our dogs. For more information about our adoption policies, please click here.

About Our Website:
Ours is a bare-bones website. We exist to place dogs and to prevent bull terriers from ending up in rescue. What you won't find here are loads of cute photos, "success stories," testimonials or flashy graphics and interactives. What you will find is information about the breed, resources to help you decide if a bull terrier is right for you, and yet more resources to help you live with your newly-adopted bull "terror." We are always available to answer questions; make veterinarian, training and breeder referrals (this last, in case you decide that a rescue dog might not right for you but you still want a bull terrier); assist you in researching diet, health or behavior issues; and in general help you share your life the best way possible with this sometimes difficult but always dynamic breed. Our goal is not just to place the dogs that come into our care, but to prevent bull terriers from becoming "rescues" in the first place.

HOW TO HELP:
The economic downturn is hurting everyone, including animals, and donations for all charitable organizations are plummeting. If you shop on-line, please consider registering at iGive and selecting us, Big Apple Bull Terrier Rescue, as your designated charity. Every time you shop through the iGive portal link you'll be helping our dogs, since a percentage of everything you purchase will be sent to us at no extra cost to you! Almost every national vendor imaginable is represented on iGive (over 700 stores like Staples.com; Harry & David; Lands' End; Drugstore.com; Amazon.com; Apple iTunes and so many more). We can easily earn hundreds of dollars each quarter, money desperately needed for veterinary costs, foster housing, and food and treats for our needy dogs.
Click here or on the iGive icon below to register. Our bullies will thank you for it.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP (that you might not have thought of):
- Do you have big box-store gift cards with a few dollars on them that are going to expire soon? Send 'em to us! We can always use them to buy food, beds and toys for our foster bullies while they await permanent homes!
- What about gas cards? We can use them to help pay for transportation costs.
- Do you have a large-sized wire dog crate you no longer need? If you're in or near New York City, we'll arrange to pick it up from you.
- Are you a certified trainer who can donate time to work with our dogs? Or our new owners?
If you're shopping for your dog.......we love this store: Helping Udders. Not only do they carry our favorite stuff at good prices (like the Mendota martingale collar/leash, a bull terrier topiary frame and a large selection of extra tough toys) but they donate a portion of sales to rescue. if you buy from them, mention us at checkout. At the very least, go peruse their webstore: www.helpingudders.com They have a very well-curated selection of goods.

Adoption Process and Application
The first step in adopting is filling out our Adoption Application. If you have specific questions about any of the dogs, we are happy to answer them prior to your filling out the entire application. Just email us. However, no dog will be adopted out without a completed application on file. Until we develop our online application, please use this version of our Adoption Application. We regret that some browsers seem unable to open it. If this is the case, email us and we'll snail mail one to you or try to email it back to you as an attachment.
We also regret that sometimes we are unable to reply to each and every application in as timely a fashion as we would like. As an all volunteer organization, our time is stretched "to the max." So please forgive us in advance.
We also require a home visit, if not by one of our representatives, then by an experienced bull terrier owner or rescue person in your area. We do adopt beyond the area under certain circumstances. Contact us for more information.
Adoption fees range anywhere from $300 to $600 depending upon the age and health of the bully. Usually, the fees are at the bottom end of that scale.
We may not have a suitable dog for you immediately, in which case we'll keep your application on file and notify you when your "perfect" companion comes into rescue. We also share information about potential homes with other bull terrier rescue groups, so be sure to let us know if you've already submitted an application with another organization.
