Bob is still looking for some awesome humans!

COURTESY POST
BCUR does not have this dog.
He is located in the St George (area )Utah.

“Bob is an amazing snuggler. He loves to be close to his human. He’s sweet & loving. He doesn’t require long walks rather likes to sniff around the neighborhood. He loves to be the center of attention. Bob is
8 1/2 yrs old and healthy as a horse. “

Bob has lived w/ a Frenchie and another dog successfully- until the Frenchie died. Then Bob & Turbo decided to argue about status…. So he’d maybe appreciate an only dog situation…

We are taking applications currently for Bob at our website. Bulldogrescueofutah.org

ADOPTED ! Yaaaay!

Waffles has found his home! The Jones family filled that giant hole in their hearts, left by Gus, with Waffles… now known as Georgie.

We are so happy for Georgie and his new family. ♥️

ZURI
Not yet posted to our website

Zuri is a 7-ish year old girl that lost her happy home due to a change in living conditions.Prior to that, she had been an ESA (...all dogs are emotional support animals...aren't they??), and before that bounced around for several years. She gets along with all of the other dogs, and is fine about the cats. In spite of being described as only eating and sleeping and enjoyed being petted, Zuri has a ton of energy and thinks that a walk or outing is just THE BEST!
Zuri does suffer from dry eye, and does have some corneal scarring, which affects her vision a bit. She is currently on a prescription medication, and that does seem to help her be more comfortable. She will need that medication, or lubricating eye drops for the rest of her life. She does suffer a bit from ear infections, but they are definitely manageable, and to top it all off, she does still have a bit of itchy skin. Cytopoint and medicated baths have done wonders for her. A little effort is a small price to pay for such a sweet, fun girl! She's a bit leggier than most Bulldogs (...yeah, she's probably a mix.....)but she can go running, hiking...whatever you have in mind, she's up for it!
She is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped.
In spite of all of her problems, she is a happy, fun, spunky girl that is desperately seeking the right person and her Last. New. Home.
Her adoption fee is $400.00

Meet Duke! He just turned 4 years old this September and has been a big part of our family since he was a puppy, we just haven’t had the time for walks and playtime like we used too do to increase of work. Duke is affectionate, loving, very mello, and he can be very stubborn lol so an experienced dog owner would be best for him since he is very stubborn and has all that bulldog attitude. We know he would thrive in a home that can provide him with the time and attention he deserves. He needs a calm environment—ideally with a single adult or couple, no children, and no other pets— he loves playing fetch, loves watching calming relaxation videos on you tube, snow sledding in the winter, he absolutely loves to play in the snow, music and treats. Duke has some allergies, which we manage with Apoquel and Royal Canin Bulldog food. He truly deserves a chance to thrive in a nurturing home. If you have the heart and time to help him, please consider giving Duke the loving home he needs.
Application’s accepted for DUKE at bulldogrescueofutah.org

“Endearing, in a way that makes your drink come out of your nose”

This is another Not Yet Posted on our website-Facebook exclusive.

GREMLIN comes to BCUR as an unclaimed stray from Salt Lake County Animal Services. We think he is about 4 years old. He weighs 53 pounds currently.
He does seem to get along with other dogs in foster home.

He is mobility challenged and just the one step to go in and outside is very difficult. He is showing some improvement with time and exercise, but no stairs may be best. He may also need his soft palate shortened and the saccules in his airway fixed Soft palate and saccule surgery for bulldogs addresses breathing difficulties caused by the anatomical structure of their airways. Bulldogs often have elongated soft palates and enlarged saccules that can obstruct airflow. This surgery shortens the soft palate and removes the saccules, helping improve airflow and reduce respiratory issues. It can lead to better overall health, increased energy, and a more comfortable life for these beloved pets.

Adoption fees apply. You can apply for Gremlin at bulldogrescueofutah.org

(Another) Facebook exclusive- not yet posted to our website.
Gimlet turned 1 on 9/5/2024. He's gen alpha with an old fashioned name.

This kid has devoured books from "Wicked" to Hunter S Thompson. What baby hasn't eaten something they shouldn't though? He had munched a vacuum cord, but luckily it wasn't plugged in.

His previous humans felt he should be an only dog. He wasn't sharing well with housemate. We know he prefers his space to other dogs, but is showing improvement in interactions with dogs.
He has a good history with kids and has been cordial with strangers.

He needs a discerning adult with previous Bulldog experience.

Applications accepted for Gimlet at our site at bulldogrescueofutah.org/adopt

To apply for EZIO

EZIO "Ezy" is a 6 1/2 year old bundle of fun and energy! He love, Love, LOVES! his walks. He also really loves it when visitors come to see him, sometimes a bit too much!

Ezy, as he is known, knows some basic commands--sit, stay, down, drop it, leave it, and everyone's favorite, High 5!
He is house-trained, crate-trained and has used a dog door.

Ezy finds that small children are a bit too stimulating for him, but could likely do well with older, maybe teenage kids. A calm, laid-back home, with an abundance of patience,(and no doorbell) and time, would be the ideal home for him. Cats look really interesting to him, but he has not really been around them much. He has been around quite a number of dogs during his stay at Rescue, and has gotten along well with them: doesn't really interact with them, but they aren't a problem for him.
Lately, he is loving laps around the yard, with Buns, and seeing who can get to the door first!
Ezy is current on his vaccinations, healthy and microchipped.
His adoption fee is $500.

OK - let's try this again with the correct photos! Meet Panda! Panda is around 2 years old. We have some incomplete vet records on her, so about all we know is that she is vaccinated. Not sure if she’s spayed, but if she’s not, she will be. She’s a cute and playful girl and we’re still getting to know her. We’re not sure yet about other dogs, cats etc but we’re working on learning that. She’s not quite available just yet due to needing a vet check and figuring out the spay issue, but you can still put in an application at bulldogrescueofutah.org/adopt if you’re interested in her.

10/18/2024

Oh no - we got some wires crossed! This isn't Panda, this is Dougie, who's been here a few months now. Dougie is a happy boy with a - SQUIRREL! - very short attention span. This cute lil guy needs some training but he's happy to work on it. If you're interested, please complete an application at bulldogrescueofutah.org/adopt - thanks! (Panda post coming shortly)

The warm weather is still sticking around. And so is senior BCUR foster Carter! He's not gotten much in the way of interest, but he's still hoping to make a splash with that someone's going to give him a place to call home. Carter is mostly deaf, but he loves people and he's a playful fella despite his age. If you'd like to see if he'd be a great match, fill out an application at bulldogrescueofutah.org/adopt - thanks!

Bulldog Tail Pocket Infections
Bulldogs are beloved for their distinctive appearance and friendly demeanor, but their unique anatomy can sometimes lead to health issues, particularly tail pocket infections. This article will explore what tail pockets are, why infections occur, symptoms to watch for, and how to prevent and treat these issues.

What is a Tail Pocket?
A tail pocket is a fold of skin located at the base of a bulldog's tail. This pocket can trap moisture, dirt, and debris, creating an ideal environment for bacteria and yeast to thrive. While some bulldogs have more pronounced tail pockets than others, all

Causes of Tail Pocket Infections
Several factors can contribute to the development of infections in a bulldog's tail pocket:
1 Moisture: Bulldogs are prone to skin fold issues, and moisture can accumulate in the tail pocket, leading to infections.
2 Poor Hygiene: Infrequent cleaning of the tail pocket can allow debris and bacteria to build up.
3 Skin Conditions: Allergies or other skin issues may exacerbate irritation and contribute to infection.
4 Obesity: Excess weight can make it more difficult for owners to properly clean the tail pocket.
Symptoms of Tail Pocket Infections

Recognizing the signs of a tail pocket infection is crucial for early treatment. Symptoms may include:
• Odor: A foul smell emanating from the tail pocket.
• Redness or Swelling: Inflammation around the pocket area.
• Discharge: Presence of pus or other unusual fluids.
• Scratching or Discomfort: Your bulldog may exhibit signs of irritation or pain.
• Licking: Excessive licking of the tail area.

Prevention
Preventing tail pocket infections involves regular care and attention:
1 Regular Cleaning: Clean the tail pocket weekly with a gentle, pet-safe cleanser. Make sure to dry the area thoroughly.
2 Monitor Weight: Maintain a healthy weight for your bulldog to make cleaning easier.
3 Watch for Allergies: If you notice signs of skin irritation, consult a veterinarian for advice on managing allergies.
4 Routine Check-ups: Regular veterinary visits can help catch potential issues before they escalate.
Treatment
If you suspect your bulldog has a tail pocket infection, it’s essential to consult a veterinarian. They may recommend:
• Topical Treatments: Antibiotic or anti fungal ointments to combat infection.
• Oral Medications: In more severe cases, oral antibiotics may be necessary.
• Cleaning Regimen: Your vet may suggest a more intensive cleaning routine to manage the infection.

Tail pocket infections in bulldogs can be uncomfortable for your pet, but with proper care and vigilance, they are manageable. Regular cleaning and monitoring are key to preventing infections. If you notice any concerning symptoms, don’t hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for guidance. By staying proactive, you can ensure your bulldog remains happy and healthy.

Thank you so much for helping us with Apollo's medical care. We were able to get the surgery done THANKS to your support. WE hope to have new pics and an update on how hes doing soon.

Waffles is up to his Sunday Funday shenanigans again! This guy, who could barely walk when he came in, is now able to get up in places he really shouldn't be getting into. But hey, if the side table looks comfy, he's calling dibs!

On another note - We posted a few days ago that we needed some help to pay for surgery for Apollo. You've all come through in a big way, and we're filled with gratitude for all your help! If you'd still like to donate, you can go to bulldogrescueofutah.org/help or scroll our timeline to Wednesday's post. Thank you!

Apollo is feeling grateful after we told him that people are donating to help get his surgery. He wants to say THANK YOU to everyone donating and sharing his story..

We can't help them without your support. Thank you for supporting BCUR.
