About our rescue

We Are Rescue

Founded in 2007, Indiana Bulldog Rescue was built on a simple belief: every bulldog deserves a second chance. We take in English, Olde English, and French Bulldogs from shelters, families in crisis, puppy mills, and breeders.

Our volunteers have full-time jobs, families, and other commitments, but they still make room in their hearts and homes for bulldogs in need. That’s what makes IBR special. We have volunteers in Indiana, western Ohio and Kentucky.

We are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization. All donations are tax-deductible and go directly to the care and support of our fosters.

All-Volunteer

Everyone at IBR is a volunteer giving their own time and love. No paid staff — just people who care deeply about bulldogs.

Foster Homes

We are not a shelter. All of our bulldogs are cared for in loving foster homes until they are adopted by families who have been carefully screened for placement.

Vet Care

We provide all necessary veterinarian care, medications, and treatments to the bulldogs in our care, regardless of cost.

What is a Foster Home?

A foster home is a temporary, caring home where a dog stays while waiting for adoption. Our foster dogs live with an approved volunteer family who provides daily care, structure, and love.

Fostering helps dogs adjust, heal, and thrive — making them more adoptable and freeing up space so we can save more dogs in need.

If you’re in Indiana, western Ohio, or Kentucky and want to open your home to a bulldog in need, we’d love to hear from you.
