Foster
Fostering saves lives. One open home means one more dog pulled from danger. We take care of the supplies; you give them love, patience, and hope.
Volunteer
Every helping hand creates a ripple of change. Whether it's transport, events, or sharing a post — your time can be the reason a dog finds their forever home.

Adopting through Bully Project Rescue was seamless and heartwarming. Our new pup feels like part of the family already!

Please come and donate your time walking the dogs or taking them out for a doggy day out. These dogs sound way too much time cooped up. We walked nd played with about 10 dogs. Towels bedding food donations are always appreciated.
Juan Yglesias
Very disappointed. Showed up at 6:08 this evening. It says they are open until 7pm. They wouldn't even let us in to look at the animals. She said there was a 3 day application process. I'm ok with that but you won't even let me in so I can take a look at at some of the dogs you have? How many dogs missed out on adoption due to the service I just received? That's a shame.

I never knew anything about the Bully Peoject until I saw their facebook posts...I found my little Miro and adopted him from the Bully Project two weeks ago. The ladies working there were awesome and seemed to really care about the 4 legged little babies. Please help them. Donate and help this team keep helping the babies!!!
Fred Ramone
They are the best, and work so dang hard for these fur babies!!! They save beautiful animals that were failed by their human. How can you not love faces like him.
