Babe was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on April 7th. His elderly owners decided to start travelling and chose to give him up. He had an untreated hematoma that caused his ear to swell to 2" thick, which caused him extreme pain. He had a surgery to "quilt" his ear and has made a full recovery, only needing ongoing drops now to prevent reinfection.

Congratulations to Justine, Martin, Gabe & the gang for being adopted by Babe on September 20, 2011!

Higgins was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on January 30th. His family recently had a baby and he did not adjust well to all the changes and commotion that came along with the new addition. He is a quiet old man that likes to relax and snuggle with the plush puppy he carries around everywhere with him. And don't let his age fool you, he still has a strong bully streak left in him!

Congratulations to Nancy and Jim for being adopted by Higgins on September 3, 2011!

Tyson was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on May 19, 2010. His owner was moving and unable to bring him along. He is a very healthy and active young boy who just needs some basic training and someone to spend a decent amount of time with him, as he is still working on crate training and overcoming mild separation anxiety. He loves toys and people.

Bodie was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on June 22, 2010. His family's situation changed and the relatives put in charge wanted a better life for him.

Penny was welcomed into the rescue as a shelter pull on April 22, 2010. She was one of five dogs being used as breeders that were pulled from a barn in a neglect case. She has been spayed, had two chains of mammary tumors removed, and a mass taken from her mouth that extended into her nasal cavity and needed a skin graft to close the hole. She is a doll and loves everyone.

Daisy was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on May 16, 2010. A social worker pulled her from a neglect situation where she was being kept in a crate around the clock. A large cherry eye has been causing scarring in one eye, and she is recovering from having it removed. Even after her horrible ordeal, she loves to snuggle up on your lap and hang out with the other bullies.

Congratulations to Sean, Alicia & Paige with Moby for being adopted by Daisy on June 17, 2010!

She is a quiet girl who does not get along with most other pets.

Congratulations to the Tony, Shannon & kids for being adopted by Emma (and Scarlet!) on June 6, 2010!

Louden was welcomed into the rescue as a shelter pull on February 6, 2009. He enjoys short walks in the yard and loves car rides, but will need a home with few to no stairs for his arthritis and elbow dysplasia. He will also do best in a home with no small children or other pets, as his eye sight is less than perfect and loud or sudden commotion tends to startle him.

After much time and thought, we have decided that Louden should remain with us at the rescue permanently. With the severity of his recent medical emergency, added to his aggression issues and the normal maintenance of his eye infections and shoulder displasia, we feel it is important for him to continue to get the care and attention he has grown comfortable with over the past year here.

Though he did not find a home past the rescue, we truly feel Louden adopted us and our three bullies.

After a great year with us here at the rescue, Louden passed away on April 7, 2010. He gave us so much joy and we are happy to have had him in our lives. He will be with us always in our thoughts and prayers.

Koko was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on January 27, 2010. Her owner has health issues and needed to move where he was unable to take her along. Even though she is in her golden years, she is still very healthy and very active. No one can believe she is actually 10 years old and in such great shape! In fact, she is quite the little scrapper and would be happiest with no other dogs and no small children.

Congratulations to Beth, Dino & Alysa for being adopted by Koko on February 19, 2010!

Brutus was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on February 8, 2010. His family has taken good care of him, but felt they no longer had enough time for him.

Congratulations to Megan and Jonathan for being adopted by Brutus on February 12, 2010!

Annabelle was welcomed into the rescue as an owner surrender on January 7, 2010.

Hurley was welcomed into the rescue as a shelter pull on March 11, 2009. He recovered from dental surgery to have six rotten teeth extracted and had been previously neutered. We believe he was abused or neglected, which accounts for his sometimes skiddish behavior. He can be selective of who he gets along with as far as people go. He does great with other pets and does not have any health issues.

Congratulations to Jim, Cathy & Michael with Lucy for being adopted by Hurley on August 26, 2009!

Matilda Jean, or Tilly, as we have lovingly nicknamed her, is our first official rescue with Bully for You. She was posted on Petfinder.com by a county animal shelter in the upper peninsula, where she had been tied to a donation box and left overnight in the freezing temperatures, underweight and in the middle of a heat cycle. We were aware she had some medical issues, and would obviously need to be spayed and brought up to date on vaccinations. Upon further inspection during the first of many baths, we observed several lumps on her mammary glands that turned out to be cancer. Things looked optimistic, as she thrived at home with us and our bullies, steadily gaining weight and romping through the yard. But when it came time for her surgery, the vet made us painfully aware of the grasp that the cancer had on her. It had spread through her entire body, filled her lungs, and lowered her blood pressure to an alarming rate. So low, in fact, that they were unable to proceed with the surgery and Tilly returned home with a grim prognosis. Expected to only be with us for several more months, we will be searching for a home with a family who fully understands Tilly's situation and has made the decision to ensure that her last days are filled with comfort and only the happiest of memories. This experience with her has only made me more determined in the fight to rescue other bulldogs from neglect and denial of medical attention before they end up like our Tilly.

Congratulations to the Palmers with Winston for being adopted by Tilly on February 15, 2009!

It is with heavy hearts that we were forced to say goodbye to Tilly on June 24, 2009. We are comforted with the thought that she will never be forgotten and are thankful to have played a part in giving her a happy last six months after being rescued. She will be with us always in our thoughts and prayers.
