I recently had the pleasure of meeting a number of the Bulldogs available for adoption from Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue at a fundraising and awareness event held at Boomer Jack's Grill and Bar in Fairview, Texas (just south of McKinney and a few minutes north of Plano) and I of course brought my camera to help give these chunky monkeys a helping paw to get adopted.
The Pups of Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue in Dallas - Fort Worth
I learned from their website that The Rescue Club is located in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and is operated as a part of the Lone Star Bulldog Club (LSBCR) which was formed in 1948. In 1993, Dixie Little began doing rescue well before rescue was an accepted practice. Dixie is still a member of Lone Star Bulldog Club (LSBC) and a stanch supporter of bulldog rescue. LSBC is a licensed, American Kennel Club sanctioned club that conducts Bulldog shows in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. LSBC is also the local chapter of the parent club, Bulldog Club of America.
The Rescue Club's goal is to make the best match taking into consideration the Bulldog’s background and the adopting family’s needs. Every rescue Bulldog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. They take all these factors into consideration when making a furever-home match and they take their responsibility of finding forever homes for rescue Bulldogs very seriously.

Bulldogs Are Rock Stars Of The Dog World
Never having had a Bulldog, I learned at this event that they are pretty much rock stars of the dog world. The beautiful spring weather brought out a large crowd to the open air patio at Boomer Jacks in Fairview, Texas, and everyone wanted to meet the dogs. As each one arrived, a crowd grew. The foster families had to literally pry them away so I could photograph them, sometimes with people following them to see what was going on.
At one point I looked up and saw two police officers watching me and asked "Am I trouble?" (I was after all taking pictures in a landscape bed on the restaurant's property - trying REALLY hard not to trample any plantings). "Not at all, we're just watching". See? Rock stars.
Some of the pups pictured here have already been adopted, but others are still available. You can learn more about them, and other dogs that were not at the event and are available for adoption, by visiting the Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue website. You will only find purebred Bulldogs, also known as English Bulldogs at LSBCR, they do not accept or adopt out American Bulldogs, Olde English Bulldogges, Pit-bulls or mixed breed dogs.

How You Can Help Lone Star Bulldog Rescue Club
As a non-profit, LSBCR is completely driven by compassionate, dedicated and fun-loving volunteers. Volunteers can support the group in a multitude of ways, from big jobs to little projects. Learn how you can give them a helping hand...
One of the things I noticed about this organization and it's volunteers is that it really does feel like a club. Everyone truly loves this breed and wants to do whatever possible to help the rescue dogs. Most fosters had at least one or two of their own Bulldogs at home.

Kim Hollis - OMG, this makes me want to contact a Bulldog rescue group to take photos of their dogs. I LOVE bulldogs and I don't get to photograph them very often.
