\"\"<\/a>Tinkerbelle<\/strong>
\nMy family and I recently adopted\u00a0Tinkerbelle\u00a0about a year ago in March to help keep my father company at home.\u00a0Tinkerbelle\u00a0traveled a far journey from her original home in Louisiana after her owners could no longer afford her medical care.\u00a0Tinkerbelle\u00a0has underwent many surgeries for her eyes, thanks to your services and \u00a0has recovered magnificently. Thank you for bringing\u00a0Tinkerbelleinto our lives, she has \u00a0certainly put a skip in all of our steps and a permanent smile on our faces when she greets us every morning.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dale & Tun-Tun<\/strong>
\nWhen my husband and I were ready to adopt a dog we didn’t want just any dog, we wanted an English Bulldog! \u00a0We searched and searched for a rescue agency that was dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate about the breed. \u00a0We found all of these traits in MidAtlantic. Joanne and Cathy helped us find our two angels. \u00a0Dale, who was only a puppy living in a hoarder’s home in Massachusetts and Tun-Tun who’s family was in the military and was being deployed. \u00a0We have had a wonderful experience working with Mid Atlantic and recommend them to almost everyone we meet! Thank you Mid Atlantic Bulldog Rescue for changing our lives!<\/h4>\n

\n<\/em><\/strong>Adopting Floyd \u2013 March 2010<\/em>
\nWe highly recommend Mid Atlantic Bulldog Rescue!\u00a0 We found Floyd on Petfinder.com and Mid Atlantic Bulldog Rescue was prompt to respond to our inquiry and immediately set up an appointment for us to meet Floyd. Mid Atlantic Bulldog Rescue was very easy to work with; they took the time to talk with us extensively to make sure all of our questions were answered. We were also assured that if we ever had any concerns throughout Floyd\u2019s life, Mid Atlantic was there to help.\u00a0 We continue to send updates about Floyd and hope that everyone has the opportunity to have such a wonderful dog.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Magic<\/strong>
\nMy wife, Renee & I owned a bulldog, Duchess, almost 10 years and became VERY attached. \u00a0Duchess lived great life but it did come time to say ‘good bye’. \u00a0We were devistated. Previously I had done some research and became famiar with MABR. \u00a0I reached out and explained our situation and desire to give a bulldog a good home. \u00a0Immediately I knew I made the correct choice. \u00a0These folks showed us compassion and helped us (try to) replace our loss. \u00a0Their responsiveness was and remains excellent, especially considering they are a volunteer organization.
\nWe met with Joanne Hale of MABR to explain what we could offer and what certain bullie might be the appropriate choice for us. \u00a0Joanne mentioned that they had a male bulldog, MAGIC, that was in need of a good home. \u00a0I was instantly ‘sold’ on the idea, however my wife Renee wasn’t as easily convinced. \u00a0Joanne listened to her concerns and explained the situation and made my wife feel comfortable in moving forward in the adoption process. \u00a0It is indeed a process making sure both the family and bullie are a match for each other. \u00a0Joanne definitely had questions for us to assure a proper match, including making sure our situation was suitable for a bulldog. \u00a0I appreciated the idea they weren’t just placing these dogs in just any home.<\/p>\n

The day finally came for us to get Magic. \u00a0We couldn’t be more grateful to Joanne for her efforts to assure a smooth transition for Magic to live with us. \u00a0Joanne picked Magic up at his then home in New York (Long Island, I believe?), then brought Magic back to her home in New Jersey to get him ready for his new home. \u00a0We live in Pennsylvania and Joanne brought him to us. \u00a0She stayed for quite some time to assure both Magic and us we settling in with each other. Living up to the name of the group, Joanne travelled the Mid Atlantic area on our behalf that day. \u00a0Wow, now thats commitment! \u00a0It is my understanding that this type of travel is just a small example of where they go and the extent they go to help bulldogs in need.<\/p>\n

It was a learning curve as they say for both Magic and us but with patience, persistence and understanding, I could not be happier with having Magic live with us. \u00a0Or do we live with him? \u00a0If you know bulldogs you understand the question. \u00a0 While Magic will never replace our bullie Duchess (and shouldn’t) I found my new best buddy. \u00a0 Magic has adapted very well to us and us to him. \u00a0It is truly a great match. \u00a0 He has filled a void that I thought couldn’t be replaced.<\/p>\n

So with all the above being said……..<\/p>\n

I without hesitation would recommend Mid Atlantic Bulldog Rescue for anyone that wants to adopt a bulldog.<\/p>\n
