Austin Bulldog Rescue is a 501c3 bulldog and bully breed rescue based out of Austin, TX

Please consider donating to help support our mission.

https://austinbulldogrescue.com/donate/ Austin Bulldog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit English Bulldog Rescue Organization in Austin, Texas. EIN 46-3292327

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.

Gorgeous Memphis is ALSO spending the weekend being absolutely obsessed over by his sitter, and WE. GET. IT!

We truly can’t figure out how this sweet boy hasn’t been snatched up yet.We’re not even being dramatic when we say: everyone who meets Memphis becomes completely enamored. He’s got the most soulful, beautiful eyes you’ll ever see, and a smile so pure and happy it feels like sunshine. ☀️

Not only is Memphis stunning, he’s also the perfect houseguest. No accidents, no nonsense—just a polite, easygoing gentleman who asks for very little: some cuddles, a few kind words, and a whole lot of love.

When we first pulled Memphis, we thought we were simply giving him a few comfortable, love-filled days before saying goodbye. He was in devastating condition.
But with some care—and a lot of love—Memphis made a miraculous recovery and is now thriving, ready for the second chance he deserves to truly leave his horrible past behind once and for all. 🙏

It absolutely crushes us to think of him missing out on the special, sacred time he could be spending with his forever person.

Memphis has a full-on fan club among ABR volunteers... but what he really wants is a forever place in your heart. ❤️

Hey guys, it’s Ham. 👋

Still living the dream at my sitter Jenn’s house, where—breaking news—she remains completely obsessed with me. Every time I turn around, there she is: camera in hand, making kissy noises, looking at me like I’m the eighth wonder of the world. 🗿

At this rate, I’m pretty sure my whole face is going to get kissed clean off. Honestly? I’m fine with it. Between the kisses, the cuddles, and the steady stream of treats, life’s pretty sweet. 🍬

Is this what being a celebrity feels like? 📸

Sincerely,
Ham (officially too hamsome for his own good)

📣 P.S. Want to live the dream just like Jenn? We are desperately in need of fosters and summer sitters! Apply today at www.austinbulldogrescue.com/foster and come hang out with adorable dogs like me—you might just fall in love.

Ham is spending the weekend with one of his favorite sitters, Jenn—and while he knows he’s stunning (like, mirror-kisses-himself stunning), he’s starting to wonder… why is she staring at him like that? 👀

Jenn, blink twice if you’re okay.

But honestly? We can’t blame her. Between his perfect little toofers and that delightfully wonky mouth, Ham is serving looks and vibes. He’s the full bulldog buffet. 🍖🥓🍔

This handsome ham is still looking for his perfect forever home—adults only, please! Bonus points if you’ve got a fun playmate to match his energy and a comfy couch for his dramatic lounging. 🧘

Hi. My name is Maynard.

I wasn’t supposed to make it.

When Austin Bulldog Rescue found me, I was skin and bones — too weak to lift my head, too tired to care. I had forgotten what it felt like to be full. To be warm. To be wanted. I had been invisible for so long that I started to believe maybe I didn’t matter anymore.

But then… something changed.
A hand reached out. A voice said, “We’ve got you now.”

I was rescued. And slowly — one gentle word, one bowl of food, one safe night at a time — I came back.

Now, I’m here. Still a little shy. Still learning. But I’m alive. I’m healing. I’m hopeful 🐾

I’m not the kind of dog who wants to go to breweries or chase tennis balls in the park 🎾. Honestly? The outside world still feels a little too loud, too fast, too scary. But inside a quiet home — your home, maybe — I’m calm. I’m soft. I’m safe. I’m exactly where I want to be 🛋️

I’m a house hippo through and through. I don’t need excitement or applause. I need someone who understands that love can be quiet — that the best moments happen when it’s just you, me, and the couch ❤️

I like small dogs (they don’t overwhelm me). I like routine. I love mealtime 🍽️ (seriously — it’s my favorite part of the day). And most of all, I love knowing you’ll come home to me.

I need an adults-only home, and I’m available for adoption in Austin, TX and surrounding areas. I’ve fought too hard for my life to miss my chance at the rest of it. So please — if you’re looking for a gentle soul who’s already been through the worst and still has so much love to give… I’m right here.

Waiting.

With quiet hope,
Maynard 🐶

Ziggy – Our Brave, Invisible Boy - has anyone seen him?!

As you all know, sweet Ziggy recently had entropion surgery to help his beautiful eyes finally feel some relief. Entropion is a painful condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing the lashes to rub against the eye—ouch! Unfortunately, Ziggy experienced quite a bit of swelling after surgery, but we’re finally starting to see improvement, and his peepers are on the mend! 👀

Now, here’s where Ziggy’s personality really shines—because when it’s time for his eye drops, this big-hearted boy suddenly becomes... very small and very invisible. Just ask him. Surely foster mom can’t see him if he hides behind the fridge, right? Right?? 😶‍🌫️

We can’t help but giggle at his antics, even while our hearts melt for all he’s been through. Ziggy’s a trooper with a touch of drama and a whole lot of love to give. We can't wait for him to find his forever home so that they can experience what a lovable goofy is—and yes, more attempts at fridge-level stealth. 😅

One of life’s mysteries in rescue is when you get a dog that is young, absurdly cute, cuddly, and friendly….but no one shows interest. 😮🤯

Right now, the dog that has us head scratching that folks aren’t blowing up our phones over is little puppy (around 6 months old) cutie patootie, Corin 💖

I mean seriously, LOOK AT THIS GIRL! She is ridiculous! Those ears, those expressive eyes, all of it… we are in-love! And we think everyone needs their heads examined if they aren’t crazy about her like we are.

Now go over to the website and apply to adopt her because all of us in the rescue have too many dogs and can’t adopt more right now. 😆

Hi. My name’s Gary. And if you’re reading this, I think we might be meant for each other.

See, life hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park lately (though I do love a good walk in the park 🐾). Somewhere along the way, I lost my people, my home, and honestly, a little piece of myself. But then Austin Bulldog Rescue scooped me up, wrapped me in kindness, and said, “Don’t worry, big guy. We’ve got you now.”

And slowly, the light came back. My tail started to wag again. My belly found its way under human hands that knew just how to scratch that spot. I remembered how good it feels to have someone say your name like it matters.

They call me “Handsome Gary” now. I mean, can you blame them? I’ve got a signature butt-wiggle that can chase away even the grumpiest mood. I’m part goofball, part shadow (I’ll follow you everywhere 👀), and 100% ready to love hard and forever.

I’m not for everyone — I nibble when I’m excited (what can I say, I’m enthusiastic), so I need a home without tiny kiddos. But older kids who get that bulldogs aren’t plush toys? Bring it on. Dogs? Love them. Humans? Adore them. Cats? …I haven’t met any, but hey, I’m open to making new friends 🐶✨

I’m four years old, about 45 pounds of squishy love, and I’m ready — truly ready — for my next chapter. One with soft beds, squeaky toys, sun patches ☀️, and someone who thinks “Velcro dog” is a compliment.

So, if your couch has a Gary-shaped space on it… if your heart has room for a second chance… maybe we can find our way home together.

With hope (and wiggles),
Gary

Warning: extreme cuteness ahead (seriously, these pics should come with a swoon alert).

LukeDuke isn’t just any dog—he’s your future copilot in life. Whether it’s a neighborhood patrol on foot🚶‍♂️or a joyride with his ears flapping in the wind, this 7-year-old English Bulldog is living his best life and ready to share it with YOU.

He’s 60 pounds of cuddle-powered joy, equal parts adventurer and couch potato 🛋️. One minute he’s strutting like he owns the block, the next he’s snuggled into your side like a squishy, brindle-weighted blanket.

LukeDuke is looking for a home where the walks are daily, the laughs are loud, and the snuggle space is ample (preferably with room for 60 extra pounds of love). ❤️

Apply to adopt him today – and don’t be surprised when your couch becomes his new throne. 👑

🚨🆘 WE'VE NEVER NEEDED FOSTERS MORE THAN WE DO NOW 🆘🚨

🛑 We are in crisis.

Summer in Texas is deadly—especially for bulldogs. We are drowning in pleas for help. Every day, we see the unimaginable:

• Dogs in tiny outdoor kennels, no relief from the heat
• Chained to heavy machinery, surrounded by trash
• Left in yards with painful, untreated injuries
• Puppies near death with unethical breeders
• Wandering alone, injured and terrified
• Surrendered to kill shelters by people who once promised to protect them

It’s heartbreaking. It feels impossible. 😓

And still, after all they’ve survived, we can’t find fosters because they aren’t:

• Potty trained
• Crate trained
• Immediately dog-friendly
• Free of health issues
• The "right" age or size
• Quiet enough

How?

How can we ask the broken to be whole before we decide they’re worthy of love? 💔

We are fighting with everything we have to say yes. But even our out-of-state rescue partners are being forced to say no—not because they don’t care, but because these dogs arrive in devastating condition. The neglect is so severe, the cost of care is overwhelming.

So they’re left behind. Again.

We don’t need perfect homes—we need compassionate ones.
We need YOU. 🤞

Please don’t wait for the “right” dog. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

They love life.
They deserve one.
Help us give it to them.

If you’re in the Austin area or nearby, please email us ASAP to help save a life.

Please share 🙏

This is so hard to share and still hard to process. 💔

We are heartbroken to share that our little Oatmeal didn’t make it.
Her heart stopped and despite every effort made by the doctors, they couldn’t get her back.

Every loss is hard, but there are days when none of it makes sense. You try so hard and still, you fail and you are left with questions and heartbreak. This feels like very hard right now.

She was so precious, she even gave little kisses to all the people caring for her. We were so looking forward to watching her grow strong and happy. She was incredibly special and we will always remember her.

Goodbye little Oatmeal. You were here such a short time but your life mattered so so much. I’m so sorry we couldn’t save you.

Dear Watson,

How someone could leave you behind in your golden years… we’ll never understand. But what we do know is this: you’re one in a million.

Watson is a 10-year-old English Bulldog with a heart as big as his jowls. This tri-colored gentleman is gentle, friendly, and full of quiet charm — the kind of dog who doesn’t demand attention but will absolutely melt into your arms when he gets it.

He’s been through more than he should have, but thanks to amazing vets and a loving foster family, Watson is on the rise — walking stronger, loving harder, and perfecting the art of snuggling.

He gets along great with other dogs, loves his people, and honestly just wants a cozy home to snooze in and a hand to hold (or paw at for more pets).

Senior dogs like Watson often get overlooked — but they’re the ones who love with a kind of grace and gratitude that you just feel. 🥲

Watson isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for a soft place to land, a family to love, and a couch to claim.

Could it be yours?

❤️‍🩹We have some good and bad news…

Good news first: Tazzy made it OUT of the shelter and into foster 🙌🏼

The bad news: Tazzy left the shelter with an upper respiratory infection that was so severe it became pneumonia 😓
Tazzy is now at hospitalized as his condition was concerning enough that our vet felt he was better off being somewhere that could give him his meds via IV and where his oxygen levels could be closely monitored.

We are grateful we got him before he had gotten worse. The struggle to beat pneumonia could have been much worse if he was still in a stressful shelter kennel.

We hope to have our pre opus little guy out of the ER and getting the pampering at home he deserves soon 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for the continued support!

🎾🐾 Meet Wagner & Pipsey: The Dynamic Duo You Never Knew You Needed! 🐾🎾

Wagner is a bulldog with a mission: to find the perfect tennis ball and a cozy spot beside his foster mom. Seriously, this guy sleeps with a ball in his mouth—it’s his version of a teddy bear. 😴🎾

Pipsey, aka “Sweet Pea,” is the yin to his yang. She’s a gentle soul who loves the outdoors, lounging, and keeping an eye on her buddy Wagner. Together, they’re like peanut butter and jelly—if peanut butter was obsessed with tennis balls and jelly was a cozy nap connoisseur. 🛌

These two came from a rough start but have blossomed into the sweetest pair. They’re potty, crate, and leash trained, and they’re ready to bring double the joy to your home. 🏡

👉 Swipe to see their adorableness in action. If you’re ready to add some spice and sweetness to your life, apply to adopt them together at austinbulldogrescue.com.

Trust us, your heart (and your tennis balls) will thank you. 💖🎾
