     I was in search of good home for my American Bulldog and today he was adopted!! His new owners said they will keep us updated with his life. I needed to find a forever home and I think we made a good choice.

     We were very satisfied that a young lady drove from Kansas, 4 hours away from our home, just to come meet our Lucy. She had her dog meet Lucy, too. After two hours of introductions it was decided that Lucy was to have a new home and we were all very happy with the outcome. Lucy will have a new large area for running around in, a sister dog to run with, and she will have two teenagers to play with or be played with. Lucy seemed to love the idea and was happy to get in the car and take her assigned seat in the back seat and have the window down a bit so she could smell her way to her new home. If it were not for Rescue Me!, we were looking at having to put Lucy in a local pound, and if she had not been adopted she would have been euthanized. We are so thankful that Lucy has a new home we hope is giving many hours of pleasure to her new family. Thank You!!!!!!

     Artie had been on Rescue Me! a few weeks with a couple inquiries. Then we changed his picture - what a difference it made! We suddenly received 10 inquiries in a span of 5 days. We got to select the best possible match for Artie's forever home. Don't give up, put a cute 'smiling' picture and there is a home for everyone.

     Thank you Rescue Me! for helping me find my bully a new home! My personal circumstances had changed and I could no longer give him the kind of life he deserved so I found this site... I had several very high quality responses, and I'm so happy about the family that adopted him! He went to a happy home, and I know he will have a happy life with a family who will love him! This was such a better way than other avenues I might have chosen. Thanks again!

     Thank you for Rescue Me! Zeus was listed less then 24 hrs when I received our 1st call from Paul and his wife. All we wanted was Zeus to have a wonderful new family to give him a happy life, all we had was love and sometimes that isn't enough. Did it break our hearts - yes it has. We had to give one of our family members away for several reasons, not a yard big enough, house too small, loss of income, and love just wasn't enough Zeus needed more and my family and Zeus believes we made the right choice thanks to Rescue Me! I called other rescue centers that didn't want to help me because they thought our dog was a Pit Bull. He's an American Bulldog, but even if he was a Pit Bull, if you run a rescue then you should RESCUE ALL!! No matter what... these poor Animals are they all need love, caring, and sharing a part of life. My Daughter got this Beautiful dog without thinking he really needs 'more than love.' Don't take a animal if you can't do all the things that it needs, and it will need more thean Love... and Im glad Paul and his wife can share that with our Zeus... we will always love you Zeus!

     Rescue Me! was a blessing!! Angel was found just skin and bones on the side of the road left to die... she was taken in and between myself and a group of ladies she was brought back to healthy, brought up to date on shots, and fixed. She was living with me until I could find her a home, but she laughed at my chain-link fence! She didn't want to stay in the fence at all, so I turned to Rescue Me! as well as a few other social media outlets. It was Rescue Me! where Angel's new dad found her!!!! And now she will be trained to be his service dog, family member, and loyal companion!! I'm so proud of her and all that she has fought through to now become someones hero! All thanks due to Rescue Me! AND Healing 4 Heros!!!!

     I am truly happy that I found this service. I was able to find a suitable new home for my American Bulldog, Rudy within a very short period of time. The family that took in Rudy were previous bulldog owners and a very loving family. Rudy needed to be placed in a single dog home with a loving attentive family and he was because of this service. I feel blessed to have found this service in a time of need. I pray that my boy has a wonderful life with his new family. He deserves the best. I will miss him terribly but I know he is in a better environment for him.

     I live in Indiana and saw this beautiful American Bulldog online in a shelter in Arizona. One look at his face and I knew I had to get him out and to Indiana. On New Years eve of 2010 he arrived by transport and a few days later taken to my vet for a complete check-up and neuter. I was hoping he would fit in with my other dogs but sadly that wasn't the case. Hank needed a home where he was the only dog and could have all the attention he deserved. After months of trying to place him in a good home I decided to put him on Rescue Me. It took awhile but finally received an email from a woman in Rhode Island who fell in love with the same face I did. He is on his way tonight to his new home and new mama and I'm so happy for him and her. I will always love Hank and he will hold a special place in my heart as does the woman who adopted him to give him a great life . Thank you Rescue Me for making Hank's journey have a happy ending :)

     Buddy was left at my house by a friend of a friend who asked if I could just keep him until he found a home. They never found one. That's when I found Rescue Me on the web. It took about a month but Buddy has found a great home with a retired couple who had previously had an American Bulldog. They drove all they way from TN to NC to get him. I am very happy he found a home with someone who really wanted him. I think he will be very happy. Thanks Rescue Me. Buddy and I really appreciate you.

     I posted my beloved dog to get a new home due to our housing/yard conditions, because he is a large dog and had to be in a cage all day long, and it wasn't fair to him, so I posted him on Rescue Me to help me find him a better home. In just a few days after posting him, I had a wonderful lady call who is just perfect for him. We took him to his forever home a couple of days after that 5 hours away where he will live the best life he could ever ask for, I am so grateful for Rescue Me! Thank you so much for helping me re-home Diezel.:)

     Hi, I am Linda in Kentucky. I adopted Diezel from the listing on your web site. Jenna, James and Jacob were kind enough to bring him to me. A four and one half hour drive.

     Thanks to Rescue Me, Delilah was adopted by a loving family that was very familiar with American Bulldogs within 2 weeks. She was recently divorced with a 5 yr old son and was looking for a companion that would love and protect them. Fortunately for them, Delilah was exactly that, a loving dog that would protect them and didn't like men. PERFECT MATCH! She told me everything about herself and made me feel secure about placing her with them. Initially I was very worried that I was not going to be able to find a forever home for her but Rescue Me reached out to its community of pet lovers and I got a response just when I needed it the most. Thank you so much for your efforts on finding a home for Delilah and the many other dogs that are listed. I pray that they are as fortunate as Delilah was and find a home soon!

     Lily found a new home in Wisconsin. The family had just lost their pet pit bull and missed him terribly. They called and asked all about her. Her new family had even already checked out obedience classes to help her with her other dog dominance issues. They bought her a princess collar to take her home with. She will be greatly missed but she has found a loving home, who could ask for anything more. The ad was only posted for 2 days. And she was adopted in less than a week. If we ever look for another dog we will use this website. Thank you.

     My family was very hesitant about putting our beloved family dog on the site for adoption. But reluctantly we did with his best interest at heart. After A few weeks we gave up and felt like it was meant for him to stay with us. This week-end I received an e-mail from a wonderful family that was looking for a family pet and anxious to take Beast into their home. We e-mailed sharing details about Beast and information about each other until they came to meet him. Beast hit it off and was anxious to get in the car for the ride to his new home. Although there has been a lot of crying today we feel God has chosen to share a little love through Beast with this wonderful family. They have promised to keep in touch and we feel in our hearts they will give him all the love and care in the world. We are very grateful for the site and the opportunity to offer the adoption to true, safe pet lovers. Thank you

     Theadorabull found a new home here in Alaska with two very active women. They have a yard with an 8 foot fence for her to play in. Theadorabull also has a new puppy bull dog companion to play with when she is not out on walks or running with her new family. These ladies plan to take Theadorabull with them in car rides and she will very much be included as a member in this new family. She will get lots of love and attention here. We will miss her very much, but we are thankful that she found such a good home! This advertisement was only posted for a couple of weeks before she was found. Thank you

     I had Tank posted on this site for well over a month, closer to two with a heavy heart. Between word of mouth and having him on here, I was surprised to find that there was very little interest and only two inquiries, both of which have been in the last 10 days or so. Needless to say, I took the extra time and effort necessary to work with him and my 5 year old grandson during the last two months and am happy to say that Tank has adapted well to being in the house with all of us rather than kept in his own area in the kitchen and wish I had trusted him enough to begin with, rather than 'giving up' on him. He has taught me a lot and is a valued and extremely loved member of this family.....your site gave me the hope of finding the trust that should have always been there in the first place. Thank you!!!

     We posted our dog Sophie on this site in April. We recently had a baby and were concerned that her 'energetic' behavior could be a risk for our child. On June 22, she was adopted by a wonderful family who was looking for a friend for their current dog. They have sent us photos and updates daily and seem to be taking great care of her. It has been sad to let her go, but knowing that she has gone to a good family who really cares about making her happy has helped a lot.

     Several months ago, we saved the life of a friendly, affectionate young bulldog, whom we found on the side of the road shivering, dehydrated, and needing prompt medical attention. Over the following months the we found that we were too busy to give her the time and attention she deserved, so we decided to post an ad on the Rescue Me website in hopes of finding her a forever home. We are so happy to report that a wonderful young couple, who wanted to rescue a dog, came to see her this week, and next week they will be taking her to her new home. Thank you for the opportunity to help us connect with her new owners through your website. This is a wonderful service!

     My American Bulldog, Zoe, was like family to me. It took me over 6 months to find the proper home for her, as I was being very selective and careful to ensure her safety and happiness. RescueMe.Org was instrumental in helping locate the perfect 'forever home' for her and has also connected my family to a new friend! The gentleman who adopted her has been wonderful in sending me updates and pictures, and has an open door policy so that I can visit her any time I want! I am so grateful to your organization for providing this amazing FREE service. Zoe is happy and healthy, and we could not have found a better person to care for her!! Thank you so much!

He stayed in rescue for 5 months and was finally adopted by a wonderful young couple. It seems that AMBD's are a family favorite!!! Bear (106lbs) will be moving to a new house with his new family and be 'the man' of the house! What a happy ending for him... He is a very sweet loving boy. GO BEAR!!!!!!!!

     Well what a journey, I stepped in with 48 hours to go in Clouds life where vets and other rescues had given her no hope. I risked my job to go against 'procedure' and some very helpful friends in the vet surgery at the RSPCA QLD assisted me in a wonderful way. Giving Cloud a private luxury pen away from other dogs and noise, as well as spaying her. She was very popular on this website and within 3 days I had 3 possible homes for her. There are still two homes that she could go to and we are just tying up loose ends in regards to what will be best for this special girl. RescueMe.Org has played a massive part in saving her life, I will thank them with a donation and I encourage everyone who loves animals to do the same. PLEASE SUPPORT AMERICAN BULLDOG RESCUE

     It took some time posting on the Rescue site but we found success for the Coonhound/Bulldog mix. A gentleman & his family adopted the dog and have said they're very happy with him. They are both runners and live near a greenbelt area for plenty of activity. The dog went from a family who didn't want it, kept chained outside to a family who exercises together and wants to be involved with the dog. Awesome!

     Dear Jeff, We found a home for 'Otis' with someone only a block away, before we could even put a photo on the web site. He was dumped out of a van by 2 guys in our quiet neighborhood. Luckily my neighbor saw it and spent hours trying to get the scared and confused dog to come in her backyard. He was very shy, but soon began to trust her. He is the sweetest dog, loves people, other dogs, and settled in nicely with her. We all helped to get him to the vet to see if he was micro chipped (not). They were falling for him, but with four rescue dogs and an ill husband, knew they couldn't keep him. That's when I went online and found your site. As fate would have it, people just one block away learned about him and were ready to adopt, and wanted an american bulldog. So when we told them about Otis they came right over and sure enough, a match made in heaven! Now we can all still see him and walk our dogs together up in the mountains. A happy ending!!! I am sending you a donation on behalf of Otis for all the good work you do. Thank you, Kathryn Hanley

     Our puppies have found homes. We had 3 left from our litter of 10 and had the best success using your site to find loving homes for our pups! Two went to Indiana, and the other near Streamwood, IL. We were very pleased with the ease of use, the responses we received, and so appreciative that we could have a site that drew people already familiar with the breed. In this way we were assured they went to good homes that were prepared to raise and care for them properly! Thank you so much for your assistance and response! Ali

     Hi Jeff, I am so glad we found RescueMe.Org. We tried other online postings to find Odie a new home, and although we received plenty of responses, nobody replied which we felt was a good match for Odie. We found his new family through RescueMe.Org. A lovely young couple were cruising RescueMe the day I added Odie to the site, and they 'fell in love' with him. Zach contacted us several times via phone and email, we chatted, got to know them, as well as what Odie's new home would be like. We live in Panama City FL and Zach and his wife drove here from Tallahassee to take Odie home today. Odie does not easily take to strangers, and we were a bit apprehensive, as were they. It took about 15 minutes for Odie to take to them. They hit it off, and seem like a perfect fit. They stayed for awhile getting to know him, and by the time they were ready to leave, we could tell Odie would love his new family and home. Zach and his wife are on Facebook, and they will be adding us as friends, and posting photos so we can stay updated with Odie and see he is happy. Odie is going to be well taken care of, and lavished with attention and interaction by his new family. We are overjoyed he has found such a wonderful home with such a nice, young couple. I will be making a contribution to your site within a few days, and thank you so much for such a wonderful service. Valeria and Steve Blackburn

     Ann Calvert Ann and I just delivered Timpe to Ray and Michelle (Lehmberg) Ceniceros and their family in Belton. They will make a wonderful home for our baby. They already have an older American Bulldog and really wanted another. Timpe seemed to fall in love with them immediately. Timpe was lucky to find us. We were lucky to find her. We are all lucky to find her a new loving family. Thanks Ann

     Dear Jeff, Molly was indeed adopted and the experience was great. I was contacted by a man who wanted a dog for his wife that lived in the Texas area as well. He drove 4 hours to meet her an take her home and she has been doing wonderful with the family. I can't thank you enough for your website, Molly is such a great dog and needed a family that could give her the time and attention our family couldn't give her. Sincerely, Emily Farrell

     Jeff, Bullie found a new home almost immediately. I had a computer crash and could not remove the post right away. It is I that must thank you for your service. Bullie was very much loved but we just could not keep him. I had exhausted all avenues locally and then a co-worker emailed me the info for Rescue me. I posted the ad and within 5 days a couple from Kansas City called. We exchanged information and agreed to meet in Columbia Missouri which was the half way point. Because they were American Bulldog lovers and Bullie is a typical friendly, loving, slobbering bulldog, they loved him immediately and Bullie went with them to his new home in KC. Kevin Powers

     Hi there, Bogie went to a great local rescue. Very interesting story-I had taken him in with me to a Vets office to show the staff and see if they may know any interested party to adopt him. At the time they said no, but this am, the girl from that office tracked me down VIA your web site. She simply googled American Bulldog thrown out of truck and your/his web page popped up leading her to me. I found that amazing!!!! She called me, but all was already set. Thank you for your wonderful service! Sue Sue

     I was able to find a home for her. It was hectic only having a day to try and rescue her, but posting on your site gave me additional options, and for that I'm grateful. She's a great dog, and she's going to be living with a good friend of mine and his family. She's no longer in danger of being put down. I'm very happy.

     I found the RescueMe site to be very warm and engaging. We had an issue with a dog aggressive American Bulldog and I was able to instantly post a description. I received inquires almost instantly and was able to communicate with people interested. I'd contacted shelters, breeders and several individuals and no-one gave me the time of day. RescueMe enabled us to post our situation and provided instant response to our needs. Thanks, Sean Ryan

     Dear Jeff, Thank you for being interested in the American Bulldog, Big Boy, that we found hiding in our garage, or should I say he found us. We have became so attached to him that when a very nice lady contacted us to see about adopting him, my husband couldn't bear to part with him... I have learned that American Bulldogs are very adaptable to new experiences. He now lives with 5 cats, all of which were feral once upon a time so it was a new experience for him, as not all of the cats were afraid of him. He is still learning to get along with the cats, avoiding those that hiss at him, usually because he's stepped on them. He doesn't chase them like he did when he first appeared. And, we also have 2 purebred American Staffordshire Terriers and a Chihuahua/Min Pin mix. They all get along famously. American Bulldogs have wonderful temperaments and my grandchildren adore Big Boy as much as he adores them. Big Boy is a kid, just like they are. He has become a part of our family. Thanks to our Chihuahua, Sugar and the 2 Amstaffs, Louie & Delilah, for teaching him to be a good watchdog as well. He patrols our 1/3 acre as though he's done it all his life. Every evening, he lays on the couch with my husband, Jeff, and watches tv. Big Boy really likes the Outdoor channel, especially when deer or wolves are on. Animal Planet is his next favorite. He likes Cesar Milan or maybe it's Junior, not sure. I do believe your site is a great place to look for a dog that needs a good, forever home. I would advise anyone to use your site. It was easy to find and there are many choices. What's great is the stories about each dog and if that dog would be a good fit in your home. Keep up the great work. I think it's wonderful. Thank you, Annette Cherry

     Sadie was adopted by a very loving family within a week of posting Sadie's information. It was a perfect match! They had lost their dog a short time before due to an accident. They fell in love with her on the website and then once they met her in person it was confirmed, they were head over heels for her. We have stayed in touch via text and Sadie is doing super. She's made their family complete. I would definitely refer anyone that needs to fine a new home for their pet to Rescue Me. Thank you so much for creating this network for pet lovers. Nita Surbaugh

     Jeff, Juggernaut indeed has a new home. He went to live with a family that had recently lost their 14 year old Rottweiler so it was a family that understood large breed requirements and already had a fenced yard in which he could run. Additionally, someone in the family is house-bound so Jugger has an all-day invitation to couch set with a human who wants nothing more than to have 'someone' to pet while they watch T.V. Tears were shed all around, but with a toddler and a dog that was twice as big as the breed standard (even though he was purchased at ten weeks from a reputable breeder and had registration papers) he needed to be re-homed. This worked out so well. Thanks for putting us in touch with each other. The dog is only 20 miles away and we can keep in contact, but without the connection, it would not have happened. Thank you for making that happen. We all appreciate your efforts. Sincerely, Marsha, Jugger, Jugger's new and old families, and especially D.J. (the toddler who more than once was knocked over by the massive tail and tongue!)

     Dear Jeff, I like the site. I like the fact that you do not have to be a 'rescue' facility to use it. If not for the Rescue Me site I think that individuals; such as myself, would have very limited options when trying to find homes. Diesel did not belong to me personally, I was just a person who volunteered to find him a new home & housed him until I was able to do so. Keep up the job work....the Rescue Me site is great! Sincerely, Pearletta Banks

     Molly was adopted! She went to a nice family with 2 children. I think this will be perfect for her as the family has no other pets. So she will get lots of attention. Molly was adopted thru the RescueMe.org website. Thank you so much. Molly now has a second chance at a wonderful life with a loving family. Sincerely, Dana R Hanlon

     PANDA was adopted, your web site was most helpful is getting her picture out there for many to see. I had several responses of people interested in her... I have shared your site with many other rescues that I work with to add their rescue dogs that are in need of homes. I rescue as an independent and work with donations from my followers on Facebook for pull fees and vetting. So having a free forum to show my bull dogs is great ...I have attached a picture of Panda with one of her new family members. For those who doubt a bull dog is a great family dog, this picture was taken just hours after her arrival to her new home !!!!! Thanks Melanie

     Jeff, Izzy did find a home!! It breaks my heart to give her away but due to circumstances it is something I had to do. As Izzy lays next to me on the couch, I think of all the fun I've had with her over the past few years. She is a funny little (75lbs worth of little) dog. She has given me so much love over the last few years she will always remain in my heart. Rescue me was such a big help. At first I thought, oh man I'm not getting any responses maybe I should do something different. Then an email came after a few days and you know it only takes one email. The day I had made at appointment with the person who had sent the email I had another call on her. I share that with you because others need to know this is not a fast process and it shouldn't be. If your dog you are putting in to be adopted, it needs to take time. This is an extension of your family and with this process you get to choose who gets to adopt your pet. It is your choice so please don't be in a hurry and pick just the right home for your pet. I thank you for this web site and the opportunity you gave me to so I could choose the new home for Izzy. Sue

     Hi there, Missy will be going to her new home next week. I have a really nice couple coming all the way from Washington State to get her. I was not sure if your website would find homes for these rescue dogs, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have one more dog that needs a special home. We will put him on the rescue me site as soon as Missy is gone. I am so glad I found your site. It has been a long haul with our small rescue where we live and your site made it possible to find forever homes for our dogs. Thank you. Linda

     I wanted to thank you for your website. I feel so blessed that I was able to post her on your website and know that it was helpful... Thank you for being there to help me get my dog's information out for everyone to see. Should I find myself in a spot where I feel I can take on a dog permanently (later down the road) I will definitely look at your website to see if I can rescue a dog to return the gift that was given to me. Once again, thank you for helping all these animals to get placed in a wonderful and loving home and for all else that you do for them. Thank you, Kristie Lorman
