Volunteer Case Studies
Our dedicated volunteers have put together some information as to why they volunteer for Geordie Bullies to help English Bulldogs. We hope that their first hand experiences in these pages, will be useful to anyone who is considering becoming a volunteer.

I am new to fostering as I could not foster previously as I had my own Bulldog Teddy. Sadly, we lost Teddy and remain heartbroken. However, foster babe Delilah has entered our lives like a wrecking ball!
