My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

March brought a basketful of surprise to NorCal Rescue. On Feb 2 we received a stray young female bulldog. She was taken to our vet for an exam and vaccinations. She was found to be in good health but emaciated. She had an abdominal scar which could have been either a c-section scar or a spay scar. There was no indication that she had recently been in heat.


12 days later she was placed with a new adoptive family with a strict contract that if she came into heat, she was to be returned to rescue to be spayed. They were instructed to feed her “extra” since she needed to gain weight. Reports from the new family over the next few weeks stated that she was adjusting very well and was enjoying her extra food and gaining weight.


All appeared to be going well until rescue was contacted after the family became concerned about her sudden breast enlargement and had taken her to a vet who x-rayed her and reported she was pregnant.


She went into labor 36 hours later and delivered via C-section 8 healthy half bulldog-half “who knows” puppies, 3 girls and 5 boy on March 17. Her new family was unable to assume this responsibility so rescue volunteers are currently caring for the puppies.


The puppies will be ready for adoption at approx 8 weeks of age so referrals to good homes are needed, as are donations to help defray the cost of their delivery and medical care. They have all been bottle fed since birth so they are very social and bonded with people. They will be placed on a STRICT spay/neuter contract only!!!!!
