The American Bouvier Rescue League is not affiliated with any humane organization. The mission of this league, with the support of the American Bouvier des Flandres Club, is to coordinate the breed clubs, breeders and fanciers into a rescue network to assist them in the rescue of purebred Bouviers. The league will provide ongoing information and support to interested clubs, breeders and fanciers to ensure the humane and effective rescue of any Bouvier in need. This is a non-profit organization; funded by the Ralph Goldman Rescue Fund created solely for the welfare and protection of the Bouvier breed, through the American Bouvier des Flandres Club. Our philosophy is to protect and serve our breed. We are dedicated to finding responsible and loving homes for misplaced, neglected and unwanted Bouviers. Our goal is to educate the public, breeders and fanciers on responsible dog ownership, which includes: spaying and neutering of pets, behavioural guidelines to ensure problem behaviours are dealt with before the dog is abandoned and to inform prospective Bouvier owners of the special qualities, characteristics and requirements of our breed before they acquire a Bouvier. With proper education we hope to eventually eliminate the purebred Bouvier from any and all rescue programs. It is imperative as members of this league and our parent club that we make every effort to care for our own breed.
