What it says it does

TORNADO ALLEY BULLDOG RESCUE IS AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THE RESCUE, REHABILITATION, AND RE-HOMING OF ENGLISH BULLDOGS. IN ADDITION TO FINDING NEW HOMES FOR OUR DOGS, WE ARE ALSO VERY DEDICATED TO EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH OWNING A DOG OF THIS BREED. ALL TOO OFTEN PEOPLE ACQUIRE A PUPPY OR ADULT DOG WITHOUT KNOWING ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT AND END UP FINDING THAT THEY CANNOT HANDLE IT. THIS IS ONE REASON WHY BULLDOGS END UP HOMELESS. WE KNOW THAT WITH PROPER EDUCATION AND SUPPORT WE CAN BETTER ENSURE THAT FEWER BULLDOG'S END UP IN SHELTERS AND THAT THOSE WHO HAVE RECENTLY ADDED A BULLDOG TO THEIR FAMILY CAN FIND A PLACE TO TURN WHEN THEY NEED HELP.
