Help Courtney Build a Wiggle Ranch for Bulldogs!
Building The Wiggle Ranch
In the heart of Marshville, NC, amidst rolling hills and lush green farmland, a new sanctuary/Bulldog Shelter is taking shape—one that promises to be a haven for English and French bulldogs from across the East Coast. This ambitious project, born out of love and compassion for these endearing breeds, aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment where these dogs can thrive and live out their days in comfort and happiness.
A Vision of Compassion
The Wiggle Ranch, set against the picturesque backdrop of Marshville's idyllic countryside, is the brainchild of the President of Bullies 2 the Rescue, Courtney Vaux along with a group of dedicated animal lovers and rescue advocates from all over the United States. Their vision is to create a refuge that not only offers shelter but also fosters a sense of community and belonging for bulldogs who have been abandoned, neglected, or surrendered by their owners and breeders.
The Need for a Sanctuary
English and French bulldogs are beloved for their distinctive looks and affectionate nature. However, they are also prone to a variety of health issues due to their breeding, which can make them more vulnerable to abandonment and mistreatment. Many bulldogs find themselves in shelters, rescues and more so than the others, abandoned, where they may not receive the specialized care they need. The sanctuary in Marshville seeks to address this gap by providing a dedicated space where these dogs can receive the attention, medical care, and love they deserve.
Building the Sanctuary
Construction of the The Wiggle Ranch is in the planning phase with the closing of the 5+ Acres in the beginning of February, with the support of generous donors and volunteers. The facility is designed to accommodate the specific needs of the 4 legged toddlers, with spacious bull suites, play areas, and medical facilities. The kennels are equipped with climate control to ensure the dogs are comfortable in all seasons, and the play areas offer ample space for exercise and socialization.
A Home for Healing
One of the sanctuary's primary goals is to provide a space where bulldogs can heal, both physically and emotionally. Many of the dogs that will come to the sanctuary have experienced trauma or neglect, and the sanctuary's team of veterinarians and caregivers are committed to helping them recover. Each dog will receive a comprehensive health evaluation upon arrival, and individualized care plans will be developed to address their specific needs.
Community Involvement
The sanctuary is not just a place for dogs; it is also a place for people. The founders believe in the power of community involvement and have created opportunities for local residents to engage with the sanctuary. Volunteer programs, educational workshops, and adoption events are just a few of the ways the sanctuary plans to connect with the community and raise awareness about the importance of animal welfare. Bullies 2 the Rescue is looking for professionals in the following trades: Plumping, Electrical, Concrete, Fencing, Grading. If you would like to donate services, elbow grease or money please reach out to Courtney Vaux, she is heading up the chaos!!! Email: [email redacted]
Looking to the Future
As the sanctuary in Marshville prepares to open its doors, the excitement and anticipation are palpable. The founders and supporters are filled with hope for the future of the bulldogs who will find a home there. The sanctuary represents a beacon of hope for these fluffy kids who have faced adversity, offering them a second chance at life in a place where they are loved and valued.
Conclusion
The bulldog sanctuary in Marshville, NC, is a testament to the power of compassion and community. It is a place where English and French bulldogs from all over the East Coast can find refuge, healing, and happiness. As the sanctuary continues to grow and develop, it is poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of countless dogs and the people who love them. In the serene and beautiful farmland of Union County, a brighter future is being built—one bulldog at a time.
