BULLDOG RESCUE & REHOMING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There has been an official bulldog rescue since October 1978, but references to a rehoming service can be traced much further back to the late 1960s. Bulldog Rescue and Rehoming in its current form has been established since April 2001 and registered as a UK charity since 2006. We operate on a small network of staff and volunteers helping approximately 200 bulldogs every year. We would like to welcome you to our 19 th Annual Event and suggest you leave your men at the beer wagon and take this opportunity to spend your money on the various stalls It is important that you keep your dog on Its lead at all times. If you need assistance throughout the course of the afternoon please ask any of our volunteers who can be identified by their green shirts. YOUR DOG MUST BE ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES Please pick up after your dog During the course of the afternoon you are responsible for your own dog and Bulldog Rescue cannot accept any liability for any damage to person or property caused by your dog. Please ensure you keep your dog under control and on a lead at all times. Please make sure you pick up after your dog. Permission to use the green is granted on an annual basis by the local Parish Council so please look after it to ensure we can use it next year!
