As of May 2012, Eastern Canada French Bulldog Club rescue has officially affiliated with Last Chance French Bulldog Rescue. This will help us to streamline our resources, and to better serve French Bulldogs in need in both Canada and the USA.
Surrender a French Bulldog to Last Chance French Bulldog Rescue
We understand that there are numerous reasons why a French Bulldog might end up in need of rescue or re homing. We provide non judgmental support for owners who are unable to keep their French Bulldogs, or their French Bulldog mixes.
We also work with shelters, pounds, animal control and private rescues to provide foster homes and care for French Bulldogs or French Bulldog mixes in your facility or rescue system.

Adopting From Rescue
There are numerous reasons why a French Bulldog might end up in need of rescue or re homing. Not all dogs placed via rescue are abused, or have behavioural issues, but it is true that there are very few puppies ever available for adoption via rescue.
Some dogs are available as ‘breeder placements’ – dogs that responsible breeders have chosen to place into loving, lifetime retirement homes. Dogs being placed as such will have this noted on their profiles, and placement will generally be done directly through the breeder.
Choosing to adopt a rescue French Bulldog instead of purchasing a puppy can pay off in years of happiness, love and companionship. An adult French Bulldog has already experienced and (usually) surpassed the woes of house breaking and furniture chewing. In particular, choosing to adopt a senior French Bulldog can be one of the most rewarding animal/human bonds you will ever experience.
Because we in Canada are fortunate to have very few dogs in need of rescue, we do NOT keep adoption applications on file. Each dog available will have a link to an application form, which you must complete in its entirety to be considered as an adoptive home.
