HOW IT STARTED
Road Dogs & Rescue was founded by bulldog-loving Brit, Nikki Carvey. She started volunteering for an organization called Ace of Hearts over 10 years ago. They rescue a lot of American Bulldogs and she had a Pit Bull and an American Bulldog at the time. When her Pit Bull, Vinny died, she rescued an English Bulldog, Huxley aka Bukowski aka Grumplestiltskin! She wasn’t planning on keeping him but he made her laugh so much she foster-failed. Huxley cemented her commitment to rescuing bulldogs.
WHY BULLDOGS?
Because although they are ‘cute’ and expensive, many wind up in the shelters or unwanted because people do not realize how expensive they can be to maintain. Eye issues, skin issues, joint issues – you name it, bulldogs get it. They are the Lovable Lemons of the canine world!
