When I first started this rescue 35 years ago I was called a Bulldogs breeder, I've found over the years that breeding and rescuing are 2 didn't things.  We  are very proud to announce we are merging with another rescue who also helps pure breed dogs. Lil Waggin Butts Rescue.

Lil Waggin Butts is now accepting 1 rescue for Corgis. If anyone is needing help in this area please call me and we will see what we can do to help your situation.

Lil Waggin Butts Rescue in August will be taking over this website. I will be going into a semi-retiring mode. Due to my health and the fact that I just accepted a job at the zoo my time will be full with the dogs of my own that are here. I also will be moving to Columbus sometime in August when I get my affairs in order. Please pay close attention to the rescue page if you are looking for a new family member as I am going to put a few of the children I have here up  for adoption. I am looking for them to go into a family where they will become part of a family. I know a lot of people have been very interested in Bruno and I have decided to keep him here with me. He and I have been through quite a bit together. Now we will retire together. Thank You for all the help everyone has given me in the past and in the next 2 months that I will be here.

 There are a couple people here that also work with me.  They are truly a dedicated hand full of people that like me would do anything they can to save a dog.

We are  in dire need of help with a dog who has hip dysphasia. She needs to  see a specialist and at the moment due to the demand of flea prevention and some dogs being allergic to fleas  over here we are dealing with, there is just no extra money for this right at the moment . Any help we get for these things would be greatly appreciated.

.Please check out our rescue page to see if any of the children will fit into your home.  We also are happy to announce that 3 new foster families have been accepted into the rescue. . If you are in need of help with a Bully or Pug or French Bully please contact me. We are now adding Pembroke Welsh Corgi's to the list of rescues also . I do deal with behavioral issues if this is the case please call me. I will do all I can to help.

I also want to thank Gerald for his counsel today with a oncoming legal issue and also a big thank you goes out to the people on craigslist who have been coping things I have no time to view.

We are mainly a pure dog  rescue. I take in English Bulldogs, pugs and French bulldogs. Now we are also accepting Welsh Corgi as well. We do take in owner surrenders as well as we are on the list at the Stark County Dog Pound. We also take in puppy mill dogs and some small dogs. We are solely supported by a few very dedicated people who do go out of they're way quite a bit to not only provide dog food as well as help with medical expenses  i.e. time also donated after working 40 hours a week at a regular job.. Our adoption fee ranges from $100 to $500 depending on size, length of time here as well as medical care they have needed. Rescues never make money. The fee helps the next animal that does come here needing help. We are a non-profit org. We are not open to the public. You must make a appointment to come here.

We just got approved through the Stark County Court to have community service workers to come here and help with all the things we need help with. Thank You Dep. Evert you are a wonderful man and a asset to your field. Your caring and constant  help with animals are such a God send.
 

Letter from Stark County Dog Warden

 

 

 Recently I have become a Christian based org. Our sole mission here is to help to rehome dogs and puppies that come here so they can live a healthy happy life . To help educate the public that is interested, in why they should get they're dog spayed and neutered. Recently we have branched out into Reptile Rescue Please feel free to look at that page also. If there is any questions you have please feel free to call me. Remember the only stupid question is the one not asked!

 I have quality help always available for the children here. There are 2 new kids here that are ready for new homes. Please look at the rescue page for them.
