adoptaBull English Bulldog Rescue NFP

Welcome to adoptaBull! We're reinventing English Bulldog rescue in Northern Illinois, Southeastern Wisconsin and Northwest Indiana. Our founding volunteers have over 50 years experience with English Bulldogs and know and understand the breed.

Our mission is simple: Provide the finest English Bulldog care in our service area and to make offering a home to a bulldog in need a rewarding and memorable experience for our adopters.

We are a 100% foster home program which allows us to provide every bulldog with the attention and care they need through their journey to their forever home.
