Hello fellow bulldoggers!

I am writing to you on behalf of all the Rescue dogs. First, all of us in Rescue want to say, "thank you" for always being supportive and helpful in our efforts. We sometimes have very discouraging days and we rely on you to help lift our spirits and carry us through. Your helping hands and hearts always mean a great deal to us.

As you know, Lone Star Bulldog Club has a very active Rescue group with wonderful volunteers who give generously of their time and money to help our breed. We generally have 15 to 20 dogs in rescue at any given time and, unfortunately, the numbers are growing.

The cost of caring for these dogs is enormous, but we have always managed to remain self-sufficient by generating funds through adoption fees, miscellaneous donations and various fund raisers held throughout the year. However, recently we have had several dogs that were extremely ill and their expensive vet care nearly depleted our rescue funds.

I am asking you to commit to a small monthly contribution to help with our mission.  With approximately 50 club members and 20+ volunteers, these small amounts would add up to a large contribution. Because we have no paid staff members, every dollar contributed will pay for the medical expenses of our dogs.

I am personally going to set up Lone Star Bulldog Club in my online banking and make monthly contributions.  That way, I will not have to remember to send that check every month. I encourage each of you to do the same. Please consider contributing $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can monthly to help alleviate the burden.

I would also like to remind each of you that we are approaching the end of the year and a large one-time contribution would be helpful as well. We are a 501(c)3 organization, so your donations are tax deductible.

Help us help those unfortunate dogs that need a warm and loving home.

If you would like to make monthly donations or a one-time contribution, please make your check or money order payable to Lone Star Bulldog Club/Rescue and send in c/o Bethany Hoover, 804 Bayou Court , Wylie , TX   75098.

You may also visit our Web site, http://www.dfwbulldogrescue.org/donation/donate.cfm, to make any donations via PAYPAL to the General Rescue Fund.

Again, anything you can contribute now, or in the future, is much needed and appreciated.

Thanks!
Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue Volunteers

Before you surrender your bulldog, have you considered these options?

Contact a dog trainer, there are many things that can be resolved by just a lesson or two from a good trainer. If you need a recommendation for trainers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, we will be happy to assist you.

If your dog is barking, biting or acting in an unusual manner, he/she may have an undiagnosed medical condition. Have your dog checked by a good Bulldog Vet, we have references for veterinarians that have extension knowledge of bulldogs.

If you feel that you still must give up your dog, we would prefer that you have him/her up to date on shots, spayed/neutered and on heart worm preventive. This helps us defray the costs of taking your dog into our program. If you are unable to do these things, please contact us and we will work out some arrangements.

We can only take "English Bulldogs", absolutely no other types, i.e. American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, etc.
