Southern California Bulldog Rescue

Providing shelter, re-homing assistance, and funds for medical treatment for more than 100 bulldogs each year. Hundreds of bulldogs are lost, abandoned, taken to animal shelters, or surrendered to the rescue every year from animal shelters, other rescue groups, and owners who wish to surrender their purebreds. Buyers are initially intrigued by the bulldog’s many charms, only later to discover the special care that may come with their wrinkles, “pushed in” faces, unusual structure, and, in some cases, genetic faults from irresponsible breeding. The network consists of many volunteers who foster, perform home checks, transport, and place bulldogs. The group helps bulldogs find suitable homes; during the last five years, more than 400 bulldogs have been placed through rescue with them. SCBR relies entirely on donations for support.

Over one million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized simply because there are not enough homes. The simplest act a pet owner can take to reduce pet overpopulation is to spay or neuter their pet. The California Pet Lover’s License Plate will provide a large scale, permanent funding source for spay and neuter programs. These free and low-cost programs are desperately needed to help address the unnecessary killing of so many dogs and cats in California. The plate declares “Spay & Neuter Saves Lives,” reminding other drivers to do their part in the fight against pet overpopulation.

Whether you are looking for the latest tasty treat for your bird, or a new spacious powder-coated cage or play tree, you can find it at Exotic Birds by Fran. While you are there you are likely to meet a cuddly Cockatoo, crazy Caique, or an amazing African Grey. Every visit to Fran’s is likely to bring a different encounter; even if you did just stop by for some food. Fran also offers home grooming appointments and in-home consultations.

If you have found a domesticated animal without tags:

1) Register the pet as found at www.petharbor.com; matching descriptions will be emailed to owners who have registered lost pets. 2) Check “Shelters” for a shelter that will accept animals found in your city; if possible, take the animal to a no-kill shelter. At the shelter, the animal will be scanned for microchip ID and logged. Stray animals are generally held for a owner-reclaimation period prior to being available for adoption; unless it is a no-kill shelter, the animal may be euthanized if the animal is not claimed or adopted. 3) Call your local animal control office to report the animal as found. If necessary, they will transport the animal to the local shelter. 4) For additional no-kill options, contact the appropriate rescue organization (see “Adoption and Rescues“).

www.ocpoundhounds.com

OCPoundHounds Small Breed Dog Rescue is a licensed non-profit charitable organization that focuses on rescuing small, apartment-sized dogs, usually under 12 lbs, from local “high kill” shelters in Southern California, mostly whom are on the euthanasia lists for minor medical issues, cruelty and/or neglect cases, or just because the shelter is over-crowded and has to make space for incoming dogs. OCPoundhounds rescues the dogs that they feel have the best opportunity for being rehabilitated and re-homed with “homes-for-life” by dog-parents committed to giving an OCPoundhound a forever home, usually a 10 to 15 year commitment. They specialize in socialization, positive reinforcement behaviour  training and meeting all medical needs while the rescued dogs are in their care. They keep a dog in their rescue organization for as long as it takes for us to make the right placement match between the dog and the adoptive pet parents.
