Bulldogs Looking for Love: Supporting English & French Bulldog Rescue South Africa
Every so often, I get the chance to use my skills for something truly special — giving a voice (and a face) to animals who can’t tell their own stories. Recently, I donated my time and photography skills to English & French Bulldog Rescue South Africa (EFBRSA), to help a group of beautiful Bulldogs and French Bulldogs find their forever homes.
You can meet them all here on the EFBRSA Facebook page — and learn more about adoption or donations — on the EFBRSA website: www.bulldogrescue.co.za
Meet the Bulldogs Who Need You
Earlier this month, EFBRSA took in 11 English Bulldogs and 4 French Bulldogs from a breeding kennel that has since closed down. Each one of these dogs has their own story, their own personality, and their own spark — and they’re now looking for loving homes where they can finally rest, play, and just be dogs again.
As I photographed them, I saw their resilience, their sweetness, and their desire for connection shine through. It’s incredible how quickly a scared or shut-down dog starts to come alive once they feel safe and seen.
These portraits are more than just pictures — they’re lifelines. Each image has the power to help a dog catch someone’s eye, tug at a heart string, and open the door to a new beginning.
How You Can Help
If you’ve ever shared your life with a Bulldog, you’ll know how much love they have to give. Here’s how you can be part of helping these dogs find their happy endings:
- 🐾 Adopt: Visit www.bulldogrescue.co.za to meet the dogs and learn more about the adoption process.
- 💛 Donate: Every contribution helps cover food, vet bills, and rehabilitation costs for dogs in EFBRSA’s care – you can make a donation HERE.
- 📣 Share: If you can’t adopt, please share the images and posts from EFBRSA’s social media to help spread the word. Your shares truly make a difference.
Why I Do This Work
As an animal photographer, I’ve always believed in using my work for good — to tell stories that matter and to help connect people and pets. I donate my time for rescue projects like this because I know that powerful imagery can change lives.
When people book paid shoots with me — whether it’s a studio portrait, a Christmas Mini Session, or a family shoot with their pets — they’re not just getting beautiful photos. They’re helping me create more opportunities to support rescue initiatives like EFBRSA.
So, every wagging tail and happy adoption photo that comes from shoots like this is possible thanks to the incredible clients who invest in my work.
Let’s Create Change, One Photo at a Time
It was such an honour to photograph these Bulldogs and to play a small part in their journey toward a better life. If you’d like to see more of their photos, head to my Instagram or follow English & French Bulldog Rescue South Africa — and please, share their stories far and wide.
Together, we can make a difference — one rescued Bulldog, one loving home, and one photograph at a time.
