Find Your
Bestie Here!
At New Orleans Bulldog Rescue, we get to know each of our adoptable dogs as the unique individuals they are! We help adopters find their perfect match, and provides a lifetime of post-adoption support. When you adopt, you’re not just bringing home a dog — you’re joining a community that values compassion, advocacy, and joy.
Our Adoptable Dogs
Adoption Process - Please Read
1. Fill out a pre-adoption application.
The first step is to have you fill out an adoption application. This application will help us identify which adoptable dogs might fit your home well. You can attend an adoption event even if you haven't completed an application.
2. Application Review
Our application review volunteers will initially screen your application to determine if all necessary information was provided. If not, you will be contacted to fill out another application or provide additional information.
3. Meeting
Once you have met a dog at an adoption event and would like to adopt, we will set up a private meeting. If you have other dogs, we will introduce them to a neutral location and bring the potential new dog to the home. This meeting will allow you more time to ask about the adoption and the transition process.
Please note that we can't arrange individual meetings unless you have submitted an application and attended an event. Please email us at NewOrleansBulldogs@gmail.com with questions.
4. Transition Meeting
A NOBR volunteer will bring the dog to your house and discuss the transition process in more detail.
5. Trial Period
All adoptions begin with a trial period. This is the time for you to take the dog to the vet for a complete medical exam and ensure he/she is a good fit for your home. We try to avoid "sink or swim" scenarios, meaning that potential adopters should be prepared to work through any issues during this period with our help.
6. Adoption
This is our favorite part of the adoption process! New Orleans Bulldog Rescue is committed to the life, health, and well-being of every dog we place for the remainder of that dog’s life. Should the adoption not work out or you need to rehome the dog, we require, by contract, that the dog be returned to us. Please get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can make appropriate arrangements for the dog.
