Grooming - Brush your Bull Terrier's coat weekly

Brush your Bull Terrier's coat weekly with a rubber brush or rubber grooming glove. They shed very little, so more frequent brushing is unnecessary.

Rescue Bull Terrier - Find a local bull terrier breeder

Rescue Bull Terrier - Search online adoption portals

Search online adoption portals such as petfinder.com, pets911.com or 1-800-save-a-pet.com. Not all shelters work with rescue groups so it is possible that there is a bull terrier in a shelter. While searching, consider whether a bull terrier mix would be the right addition to your family. If so, there are many dogs listed as bull terrier mixes that may make a great match. When working with a shelter, the veterinary care that the dog receives and the background of the dog may not be known. It is important to meet the dog and spend as much time as possible interacting with the dog before making the decision to adopt.

Rescue Bull Terrier - Contact the Bull Terrier Club of America

Contact the Bull Terrier Club of America. Although it is possible to find a bull terrier at your local shelter, it is unlikely. Until recently, bull terriers were not popular so their numbers are relatively small. Shelters usually contact the Bull Terrier Club if one needs a new home. The rescue will conduct interviews and check references to match the right dog with your family. It is possible that you will be placed on a waiting list until the right dog comes into the rescue.
