Daisy lost her fight for her life. A sock was removed from her intestines that had been there for 16 months. There was horrific damage to her organs,. Please watch your dogs and puppies, and if the vomit on and off please get an x ray done. Simple surgery at the right time would have saved this sweet life.

Lucy's surprised us!

lucypups5.jpg

Life is full of surprises! When we took Lucy in we had no Idea what was going to happen. We took her to the vet for a check up, the vet diagnosed"false pregnancy" and we set up a spay appt fur Lucy. Her foster Dad was out of town for a few days, so Lucy was boarded. We got an early morning call that Lucy had delivered 5 pups, all alone. The puppies were cleaned up and nursing when the people came in. Check out Lucy's pups live on the link on the left green panel. Four of the pups are looking for homes, and we are looking for donations to care for this little family.

Louie is a really smart, charming 8 yr old. If he was a guy, I suspect he would wear a bow Tie! We are still working on what might have happened to him, but he is as thin a rail. I spoke to his owner who told me that he had "no health issues". Louie wants nothing more than to love and be loved!
UPDATE on Louie. He is still very thin but better. Louie needs an enzyme check to see if he has something called EPI, a pancreatic problem. Louie is enjoying himself at Shady Paws.

Here is the Suffolk County SPCA Newsletter featuring Mattie's Rescue! This is where sad skinny Mattie spent her days when she was not crated in an empty house. Often she was out in the pouring rain. Check out her story on Mattie's page.

LIZA was one of 200 + dogs that were rescued from a puppy mill , where she was crammed in a crate and used to produce puppies. Sometime, somewhere she was someones family pet, as she is comfortable with a collar, loves the couch, and is housebroken. Liza is missing parts of her lower jowels, her upper right eyelid, and her upper canines. It seems that she was used as a bait dog, someone likely smashed her upper teeth out, resulting in the injuries on both sides of her face. Someone probably realized that more money could be made from her puppies, than by letting her get killed by dogs. She is nearly blind in the eye with the missing lid.She has an old hematoma on her ear, a mammory tumor, and needs to be spayed. With all the terrible things that have happened to her, Liza greets the world with a wiggle and a kiss. We have rarely seen such a sweet and loving dog.
Liza will be having reconstructive surgery on her eyelid by Dr, Sapienza at LI Veterinary Specialists, after Dr. Haagenson, Nassau-Suffolk Animal Hosp. spays her, and removes the tumor.
We will be posting updates on Liza.
May 21 Liza wakes up with a spring in her step!
We got her some very nice canned food and she has been cleaning her bowl, and having less difficulty eating. She is starting to show her personality more. Yesterday LIBR Rescue Mac, a very small Bully who was adopted by his foster Mom Tricia, was lying on his back. Liza must have thought he was a hungry puppy, so she went over to him and offered him "milk" she is so sweet.

Lana update! Our girl is enjoying herself...feeling better. She has been enjoying country life. She had a sonogram, there are no masses. She does have a heart murmer and needs a cardiac workup. Her fur is starting to come back, she had a massive yeast infection, she has gained weight, her ribs are no longer visible. We are still checking her out, but her foster Mom Andrea Dayton tells us that she is acting more like a dog and having fun. All these tests cost money, even though our vets are very generous with discounts, it still adds up. If you can donate towards Lana's cardiac workup she would really appreciate it, she has a tremendous will to live and lots of spunk. UPDATE! Lana had her cardiac work up. She has a leaky aortic valve, and it seems that she has lupus, an auto immune disease. She is responding to meds, but she will probably stay at Shady Paws, as we will not be able to spay her. Lana is looking for a sponsor.

Please note that the Long Island Bulldog Rescue & BCA Rescue Network rescues only the purebred Bulldogs sometimes referred to as "English" or "British" Bulldogs. The AKC breed name is just “Bulldog”. There are other web sites and phone listings for organizations that rescue other bull-breeds, such as -- American Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Olde English Bulldogges, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Bullmastiffs, and so on.

*********************************************************************************************************

Welcome to the Long Island Bulldog Rescue website.

 

Long Island Bulldog Rescue is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization

 

Our mission is to help English Bulldogs through education, prevention, intervention and adoption.

 

We fulfill our mission by helping, healing, and homing  abandoned, neglected, abused, or released English Bulldogs.

 

Why do so many English Bulldogs need rescue? 

·         They’re very popular.  English Bulldogs suffer from being very cute, very popular, and very misunderstood. 

·         Many come from puppy mills.  Thousands of well-meaning people impulsively buy adorable puppies from the Internet, puppy stores or individual puppy brokers.  Those poor little pups often come from puppy mills from the US and Eastern Europe. Torn from mothers in their first weeks, they often have terrible health problems, genetic disorders, and behavior problems from bad breeding, neglect, and abuse.  

·         Many have changes in family  circumstances.  Sometimes a bulldog’s family separates, suffers loss or illness.  Sometimes a member of the family enters the military. 

What does Long Island Bulldog Rescue do?

  • Prevention
    • Help people learn to plan all pet adoption – including purchase -- as they would any other member of their family: with care, patience, and love.
  • Education
    • Conduct speaking engagements; Work with schools; Collaborate with other rescue organizations, such as the Mayor’s Alliance of NYC and the Bulldog Dog Club of America Rescue Network.   
  • Intervention 
    • Take and make calls/other communication with people in crisis; Complete all emergency rescue operations; Provide emergency pick up and evaluation; Give emergency and routine medical care, ranging from spay/neuter to bone setting to life-saving heart surgery;  Work with shelters, law enforcement, other rescue and humane groups.

·         Adoption

    • Maintain a data base of screened people waiting to adopt. Want to be considered? 
    • Extensively interview and introduce dogs and people.
    • “Match” people with dogs in need of rescue so each enjoys a “forever” home and relationship
    • Provide follow-up support to ensure successful homing and finalize adoption.     
 Donate using PAYPAL!

WE ARE IN ALWAYS IN DIRE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES!

 

PLEASE think about being a temporary foster home! You will need to have an area where the newcomer can be separated from any other dog in the household and you must have dog experience.  Be a hero please give a bulldog a chance!

 

        Contact us at  bulldogrescue1@aol.com 

                                             or 631-689-6245.

The following pages will tell you a little more about bulldogs.

Special Characteristics of English Bulldogs

Bulldogs are unique in their own little way.  They are the clowns of dogs.  Always doing silly things to make you laugh.  They are compassionate, loving animals who will steal your heart in no time.  (Please visit www.thebca.org for more information about our wonderful breed.)   

Keep in mind that bulldogs are sensitive, even though they look tough! For example, they:   

·       Overheat very easily due to the structure of their face.  It is important that they be kept cool in the summer.  If your bulldog is having difficulty breathing and is panting excessively you must cool them down at once.  You can use a cool shower, bath or hose.  Even feeding them ice will help cool their internal temperatures.  Do not plan to jog with your bulldog

·          Snore!  Loudly!

·          Can make a mess when they eat, or when they drink.

·          Have their own ideas about what they would like to do.  Many bulldogs would like to sleep on the couch with you all day. Many others are very active, and want to play.  A lot.  It is important to make the right match for you and the pup. 

·        Need their wrinkles cleaned so that they do not get infections.

·        Need your love and attention.  They are a very social breed.

   

PLEASE Do Not Buy a BULLDOG over the Internet, from Pet Stores or from brokers. 

 

It is best to buy from a reputable breeder.  It is worth the wait!  It is very important that you are able to meet the mother of the litter.  

Only you can protect yourself and another innocent puppy from the heartbreak of needing to reach out to rescue because you have a dog who is suffering from horrible behavioral or medical problems because of bad breeding, neglect, or abuse in the first weeks of life.
