There are numerous ways you can volunteer with French Bulldog Village – and you don’t necessarily have to be able to foster a dog to be able to help!

Can you…

• Transport a dog?
• Donate MONEY?
• If you are a photographer, can you donate photographs, so we can show our dogs off to their best advantage?
• Donate things our foster dogs need, like crates, collars, leashes, grooming supplies, pet meds or treats and food? You can do this on line – you don’t even have to live close by!
• Go to the local shelter and see if they have French Bulldogs in need?
• Go to local shelters and meet with shelter staff about how to identify French Bulldogs, and provide photos and breed information showing the different colors that Frenchies come in?
