Bullies in Need (BIN) is a non-profit dog rescue based in Ottawa, Ontario, but we have several helpful chapters throughout Ontario. We pride ourselves on the quality of loving dogs we rescue while working with shelters saving the bullies (and sometimes non-bullies) off of death row. Bullies in Need has fostered great relationships with shelters and we truly believe that the animal control, shelter staff and volunteers are the heart and soul behind saving the abandoned animals that our society leaves behind.

THANK YOU IS NEVER ENOUGH!

We are ever grateful to our supporters. Nutrience, from Hagen, has offered to supply us with food for our dogs! We also need to thank Critter Jungle for this as well! Critter Jungle and Nutrience continue to be at the top of the list for caring about the animals that are left behind in shelters. Hats off and lots of doggy wags and kisses to you both.

On another note, we must thank the wonderful Homes and Land of Ottawa-Carleton for their generous donation in helping the dogs that just need a chance to shine! This is a great company that cares about family, and their families include the sweet loving animal companions. Thank you!

Foster homes are needed!

We currently have several dogs sitting on death row with their only chance at a full life is through rescue. The trouble is... we have no foster spots left. We currently have a hold on several young adults and several pups. There is only so much we can do, but if you want to make a difference for one of these dogs, consider applying to be a foster home in our rewarding foster program!

The Work Continues...

Sadly, there are many dogs in our shelters that are in desperate need of assistance. Many healthy, beautiful dogs will lose their lives due to Bill 132. This includes non-bully breeds as well, due to misidentification. In 2006 we took in a litter of 7 pups that turned out to be hound-whippet mixes. They were slated to be euthanized at the young age of 7 weeks. Heartbreakingly, this is the reality of any bully pup, or those identified as bullies born in Ontario after November 2005. We cannot save all death row dogs, but we will save as many as possible with the help of our friends across North America.

What is it we do, you ask?

Bullies In Need works primarily with animal shelters pulling beautiful and deserving dogs off of death row.   We look for stable temperments, where the animal shows no aggression towards humans. This is why the majority of our dogs pulled are bullies; they're our deserving bullies in need.

We do not take in owner surrenders as we believe that the dogs in the shelters have no voice speaking for them. We are always willing to work with people that need help and/or advice.

BIN wants to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their hard work and support. With all your help, we've saved countless innocent lives and will to continue to save many more. To protect our maligned breeds, we must all ensure that ALL adoptions through rescue are carried out meticulously and thoroughly. Our Bullies are bearing enough and we wouldn't want a rescue dog ending up back in the shelter and back on death row.
