The NorCal French Bulldog Rescue
is a Non-Profit Organization.
We are volunteers who love the French Bulldog breed and are dedicated to its continued well-being. The volunteers find new homes for approximately 25 French Bulldogs each year. Many hundreds of dollars are spent to provide medical care, food, shelter, and training while the rescued Frenchies are awaiting adoption.
If you want to help the French Bulldogs waiting for adoption, you can make a donation to help pay the vet bills. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Rescue Objectives
The NCFB Rescue is composed of volunteers who are working toward these objectives:
Please note that the NCFB Rescue rescues only the purebred French Bulldog.
Types of Dogs Generally Available
Hundreds of French Bulldogs are lost, abandoned, taken to animal shelters, or surrendered to rescue every year. This is the price of popularity. (The French Bulldog is among the 10 most popular AKC breeds.) Buyers are intrigued by the Frenchies many charms, only later to discover the special care that some may require with their, "pushed in" faces, unusual structure, and, in some cases, genetic faults from irresponsible breeding.
French Bulldogs that come through the rescue program are seldom in "perfect" condition in terms of health, temperament or both. Frequently, it is health and/or behavior problems that cause the owners to give up the dog.
We do not usually get puppies in rescue! The average age of a rescue French Bulldog is about two - five, and few Frenchies are ever surrendered to rescue under the age of two.

Rescue Objectives
The NCFB Rescue is composed of volunteers who are working toward these objectives:
- To accept Frenchies whose owners can no longer keep them and find responsible, stable, loving new homes for them.
- To rehabilitate Frenchies before placement by providing necessary medical treatment and training to increase the chances of successful placement.
- To help reduce the population of unwanted pets by ensuring that all rescued Frenchies are spayed/neutered before being placed.
- To screen applicants thoroughly before making placement decisions.
- To inform prospective adopters about the rescue program and the requirements for taking care of French Bulldogs.
