Non-profit of the week: Lucky Bulldogs Rescue
Lucky Bulldogs Rescue, a non-profit located in Iowa and started by five volunteers, has a goal to rescue short-snout dogs from commercial breeding system, rehab them, and adopt them out. They focus on breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and English Bulldogs. In order to support the dogs, they foster them and provide medical care, all while working to socialize them. To raise money this year, they created a “Dad Bods and Rescue Dogs” calendar for the holidays, and, well, it’s a hoot. If brachycephalic dogs are your jam, you should check them out!
