French Bulldog rescue agencies have a primary goal. The rescue and protection of dogs of this wonderful
breed. 
Because the French Bulldog has become so popular in recent years, there have been a greater number of dogs finding their ways to the French Bulldog rescue operations around the world. Just like other breeds, the French Bulldog has become victim to puppy mills and the noted poor quality and
health hazards that go with this kind of breeding. In puppy breeding mills, dogs are often found to be ill after purchase (and during purchase in many cases) or have horrible genetic birth defects that make life spans much shorter. It was found in the early 2000s that many of these puppy mills were importing French Bulldogs from areas located outside the United States (including Russia, Poland, Brazil, Argentina, and other European countries). This, of course, increased the number of dogs entering the varied French Bulldog rescue organizations.
The good news is that people are now taking heed of information about these breeding practices by researching their dog purchase interests from information found on websites, at kennels, and through local veterinarians. In this way, the French Bulldog rescue organizations have been able to fight for these wonderful dogs through formal information and legislative means. One web site that has been developed to help prospective owners from falling prey to puppy mills can be found at www.thewrongpuppy.org. Here, an information seeker can find facts about the puppy importing business and guard against becoming involved in this illegal form of breeding dogs.
More good news comes in the form of the outpouring of volunteers who want to help and educate the public about the value of French Bulldogs. Volunteers from every walk of life come together in a special network to take phone calls from French Bulldog owners, those who might want to adopt an abandoned or abused dog, and those who find this dog interesting and just want more information about them. If you wonder what goes on inside one of these dedicated French Bulldog rescue operations, you may be surprised to find that there's a place for you to become involved!
Volunteers provide a variety of tasks in any nonprofit organization, and animal rescues are no different. French Bulldog rescue volunteers visit animal shelters and pounds, participate in fund raising activities (funds are used to protect and care for rescued animals), organize events and other activities promoting French Bulldogs, as well as many other duties. Of course, getting the word out to the general public about these wonderful dogs is a primary need. Just by providing information to interested people, foster homes and new owners can be located, supplies donated (food, medicines, toys, veterinarian services, etc.), and dogs saved. Most French Bulldog rescue operations are entirely staffed by dedicated and loving volunteers who should receive fond recognition for the great jobs they do.
