Austin Bulldog Rescue’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find loving and knowledgeable families for rescued English Bulldogs. We rescue bulldogs from animal shelters, other rescue groups and from owners who can no longer properly care

for their English Bulldog. Upon intake, we place each bulldog into a foster home that has been pre-approved and fully prepared to care for the specific needs of each bulldog. We provide and fund ALL health care needs for each bulldog while in our foster’s care…including medications, surgeries, vaccinations, preventatives, supplements and of course, spay and neuter. When healthy, happy and ready, each bulldog is matched with a pre-approved family and if all parties agree it is truly a perfect match, the bulldog is adopted into their furever home.

🚨 $5 Friday for Watson: We Almost Lost Him — and we’re still fighting to save him. 🚨😖

Watson was rushed to the ER when he suddenly began struggling to breathe. His chest barely moved. His tongue turned pale. In that moment, we truly thought we were losing him.

At the ER, vets found fluid in his lungs. Lasix helped — just in time. But this was only the start of a serious medical crisis.

Watson is still in critical condition. He’s on oxygen, multiple meds, and being monitored 24/7. There’s concern he may have thrown a clot and he’s showing signs of infection. He’s also beginning heart meds — and soon, he’s due for his next round of heartworm treatment, which could be incredibly risky given how fragile he is.

He needs a cardiologist urgently. He may need more hospitalization. And every day that passes adds to the cost of keeping him alive.

But most of all, Watson is loved.

After his emergency, his foster sent a message that broke our hearts:

“Can you update me on his cardiologist appointment? How did he sleep? He likes to watch certain shows at bedtime. I hope you got his favorite blanket and toys we brought him.”

This isn’t just a dog we rescued. Watson has a family. He has a bedtime routine. He has people who love him so deeply they worry about whether he slept well in the hospital.

Please, if you’re reading this, donate just $5 today. It may feel small, but to us, it’s everything. It helps cover ER care, cardiology, and the treatment he needs to survive.

💛 Thank you to everyone who donates, shares, or sends hope. Your support truly saves lives.

Would you believe this glowing boy was once discarded like trash?

Socrates was found, overheated and struggling, after being dumped and left behind. A kind family took him in, gave him love, and called him their own for years. But as his Frenchie-specific needs became more complicated, they made the heartbreaking decision to let him go — not because they didn’t care, but because they did. He needed more than they could give, and they wanted better for him.

With regular baths, proper meds, and lots of TLC, Socrates is transforming before our eyes — inside and out. His skin is healing. His eyes are bright. His personality is absolutely shining.

His former family described him best:
💛 The sweetest dog they’ve ever known
💛 A quiet, gentle soul who LOVES snuggling, sunbathing, and going for car rides
🌟 Dog friendly!
💛 Great with people, calm in the house, joyful outside, and just a little silly when he plays

And while he’s not quite done healing yet, he’s more than ready to find his forever home.

So we’re putting out the call:
If you have bulldog or Frenchie experience…
If you understand what goes into managing chronic allergies and skin issues…
And if you’ve been waiting for a dog who will love you with every ounce of his huge, grateful heart…

Socrates is ready.
He’s waited a long time to be someone’s once-in-a-lifetime dog.
Now we just need to find the right someone.

Apply to adopt him today. 🖤✨

Meet TUCCI – a total gentleman with a little extra charm 💫

This adorable, compact French Bulldog is all the things you dream of in a dog:
✅ Easy on leash
✅ House trained
✅ Kid friendly
✅ Calm and polite around other dogs (we’re slowly doing intros!)
✅ Hasn’t met the cat yet – but he’s been respectful of her space

Tucci is truly as sweet and easy as they come, but he isn’t without a quirk or two. He has some vision impairment, which means he occasionally bumps into things or needs a little help navigating new spaces. It doesn’t hold him back from living a full, happy life – but it does mean we’re looking for an adopter who understands that not every dog is “perfect”… and that’s exactly what makes him special.

Like all French Bulldogs, Tucci will need a family committed to the breed’s unique care needs:
➡️ Paying attention to heat sensitivity and breathing issues
➡️ Regular cleaning of facial folds and ears
➡️ Prioritizing his joint and spine health
➡️ Keeping up with vet care to stay ahead of common bulldog issues

Tucci is ready to find his forever family – someone who sees past little imperfections and loves him because of them. If you’ve got a soft spot for squishy faces and know what it means to care for a Frenchie, Tucci might just be your perfect match.

Applications now open! 💙

🚨 URGENT FOSTER PLEA: WE HAVE 7 DAYS 🚨

This is the kind of post we never want to write—but right now, we don’t have a choice.

Von is a dog who desperately needs a safe place to land. His current foster situation ends in just 7 days, and so far, no one has stepped up for him. Everyone keeps saying no, and frankly, it’s heartbreaking. Von has done nothing wrong. He just needs someone to give him a chance.

We know that Von is good with small, female dogs, and we would love to find him a calm, structured foster home where he can start to settle in and feel safe. What he needs now more than anything is consistency and a soft place to land. We do not want to keep moving him around. He deserves more than temporary fixes.

And Von is not the only one.

Right now, we are completely overwhelmed. We are receiving urgent requests from every direction—dogs being dumped at shelters, dogs being abandoned at vet clinics, and dogs coming from heartbreaking cruelty cases. Many of these dogs are living in outdoor kennels or being kept in truly inhumane conditions. Some are facing euthanasia simply because there is nowhere for them to go.

We cannot help them unless we have foster homes ready. Every day we are forced to say no, not because we don’t want to help, but because we physically can’t without a place for these dogs to go. And while some of them are going into temporary spots, that isn’t sustainable. We are asking our current fosters to juggle more than they should. Everyone is doing what they can—but it’s not enough.

We urgently need fosters for all breeds—Frenchies, bulldogs, mixes, and everything in between. At this point, there is not a single type of dog we accept into our rescue that we don’t also need open fosters for.

If you have ever considered fostering, please consider stepping up now. Even if you’ve never fostered before—we will support you every step of the way.

If you can help, please reach out. We are truly begging for help.

Fosters need to be in Austin, TX or surrounding area.

😍✨ Meet GODRIC ✨😍
Fuzzy. Fancy. Fully ridiculous. And officially ready for adoption.

Godric might look like he was summoned here by magic, but nope—just another rare-colored Frenchie dropped into rescue needing major TLC. His glow-up is well underway, and now this sweet, scabby, snorty little guy is ready to find his forever people.

What can you expect with Godric?
✔️ Breathes like a busted leaf blower
✔️ Still growing fur in all the patchy places
✔️ Thinks crates are for naps and potty breaks (we’re working on it)
✔️ Stands on two legs like a meerkat when food appears
✔️ Lifts a tiny paw to politely demand to be held
✔️ LOVES other dogs and would thrive with a furry sibling
✔️ Puts up with spa days like a champ (and will need plenty of them)

Godric is only about a year old, so he’s still figuring life out—but what’s already clear is how much he adores people, cuddles, and being treated like the delicate little king he is. He’s looking for a forever family who will follow our guidance to keep him healthy and shiny, and who’s ready to spoil him for the rest of his days.

The transformation is real—and Godric’s just getting started. Ready to give this scruffy prince his castle?

🐾 Wishlist Wednesday: The Great Escape (Prevention) Edition! 🐾

This week’s wishlist is all about safety first because while we love a good underdog story, we’re not looking to recreate “Homeward Bound” every time a foster pup gets the zoomies. 😅

🚪 We’re in serious need of baby gates and harnesses to help keep our foster dogs secure, comfy, and ready for leash training or crate-free lounging. Whether it’s a squishy bulldog who thinks he’s a parkour champion or a puppy who believes closed doors are merely suggestions, we need reinforcements!

🛒 Shop here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3AOLVMA017EKT?ref_=wl_share

Every item donated helps us keep tails wagging safely and gives our fosters the structure they need to thrive. Let’s gate the chaos and harness the love. 💛

Still waiting… but somehow still smiling 🥹

Keith has exactly one mood: happy.
Happy to see you. Happy to go outside. Happy to come back inside. Happy to sit on the couch, or the floor, or next to another dog. Happy to exist.

This perfect boi wakes up every day with his tail wagging and joy in his heart, and no matter what you have going on, Keith is going to bring the good vibes. He’s the dog that reminds you to breathe, laugh, get fresh air, and soak up the small moments. He doesn’t need much — just love, a few belly rubs, and maybe a window to patrol every now and then.

He’s kind. He’s easy. He gets along with everyone. And even though he’s been overlooked again and again, he never lets it dull his light. ✨

Whoever finally chooses Keith is going to get a really, really good dog. He’s ready. And he deserves for someone to be just as excited about life with him as he is about life with us.

Keith’s still looking for his person — if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this might be it. 🤎

🎉🐾 HAPPY TAILS: CHARLI 🐾🎉
Our sweet girl Charli has officially found her forever and it’s everything we could have hoped for.

She’s now surrounded by a loving family who absolutely adores her. From day one, they saw just how special she is, and it didn’t take long before they knew she was meant to stay.

Charli is thriving in her new home, soaking up every cuddle, every bit of attention, and finally living the secure, joyful life she always deserved. She’s gentle, affectionate, and endlessly sweet — and her family couldn’t be more in love.

We’re so grateful to them for opening their hearts to this special girl. Watching Charli find her place in the world has been a true joy.

Welcome home, Charli. 💛
