Adopt a American Bulldog in Maryland

American Bulldogs are confident, athletic, and devoted working dogs — much larger and more energetic than their English cousins. They appear in rescue when their size and exercise needs overwhelm owners. A rescued American Bulldog bonds deeply with its family.

Maryland's rescue dog community is active and well-organized, particularly around Baltimore, the DC suburbs, and Annapolis. Many Maryland rescues transport dogs from Southern states. A rescued Maryland dog typically comes through one of these active organizations.
