About Us

Based in West Sussex, Tania and David Holmes have run the rescue since April 2001 and were responsible for turning it into a charity in April 2006.


Home Sweet HomeBy day we run our family businesses along with Tania's son Jason. Alongside the rescue we run a record company and a pet supply business. Working from home means we are able to give the rescue as much time as possible even though it can make life very frantic at times trying to keep all three running smoothly. There has been many occasions when a hut on a desert island seems more appealing than the chaos we call life.

The Bulldog Breed is a dog we have dedicated our lives to and hope to spend many more years helping those that, for whatever reason, need our help

We have owned bulldogs since the late 80s when Bessie, a rescue from Olive Hunt came into our lives, almost 2 decades later we now run the rescue and have over the years owned 13 bulldogs, 6 of which still live with us and 7 of which are buried in the memorial garden at our home.


Bulldog Rescue began life back in the 1970s and has been run by the current co-ordinators since 2001, during that time we've rehomed over 800 bulldogs. Our annual turn over is around £25,000 but we don't make a profit as we ensure that every single penny is spent on the dogs that need our help. We've been registered as a charity since 2006
