What People Say

Greg

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the people of IBR. They’re a compassionate group of volunteers helping connect loving bulldogs with loving families. My bulldog’s foster mom, Casey, helped select the perfect furbaby for me. In my experience, IBR puts a lot of care and concern into matching potential parents to their new family member. Long after the adoption, IBR continues offering post-adoption support for our family. Thanks to IBR, my family is now complete with the addition of a very handsome bulldog. Thank you, IBR!

Josh & Jeff

I have been involved with the rescue for a few years and have been so impressed with the work they do. When the time was right, Jeff and I were given the honor to be rescued by Mr. Humphries and Maggie. I am glad that their vetting process was thorough and they were very transparent with the breed’s specific care needs. We have had our spuds for a little over 6 months now and we couldn’t be happier. We’re proud to be part of the IBR family!

Mike & Nicki

Mike adopted our bulldog Cleo from IBR in August 2012. One month later, I met him and agreed to our first date, persuaded by the fact that I’d get to hang out with a really cute bulldog even if the date flopped! I met Cleo on our second date at the park, and two years later, she was the star of our engagement photos. She’s a major diva, and we wouldn’t haven’t any other way! As Mike often tells Cleo, “Pops has a type!” We’re so happy to have this silly girl on our family and so thankful to IBR for giving sweet bullies like Cleo a fresh start!Indianapolis, IN

Brian & Cindy

When looking to expand our family, we found IBR and ultimately our Sophie girl, and could not be more happy with the experience. We found the process was appropriately diligent and thorough — being a bulldog parent isn’t a cakewalk after all. The additional “gift with purchase” was the IBR community and following the antics of fellow adoptive families and following the antics of our girl’s foster family — this organization gets everything right in our book.

Ashley & Mike – Cincinnati

We met IBR at an event we drove 1 1/2 hours to attend, we fell in love with our ELLEN, and from that point on she’s been a pure love bundle who deserves the world. Indiana Bulldog Rescue was amazing to work with. Thank you IBR for extending our family!

The IBR did a great job preparing me for my adoption of Oscar. Even after the adoption they were there helping me understand the breed! They were a great support system for me and my bulldog!

IBR is amazing! We are so grateful to them for all they’ve done for our sweet Tyson and for all the other bulldogs in their care.

Deserree Simonson

They do amazing work to unite bulldogs with loving forever home. We were blessed to find our baby Fiona through IBR.

Susy Murphy

We are so thankful to Natalie and IBR for allowing Milly (AKA: Miley) to adopt us! IBR is the quintessential rescue organization. An experience with IBR is a reflection of love and hope.
