Bullies 2 the Rescue (B2TR for short) and our volunteers have been helping pure-bred bullies and their families for almost 10 years now. We are a licensed North Carolina shelter and a 501c3 charitable organization. The care we provide our English Bullie rescues exceeds any you will find from a breed rescue. This love includes a high quality diet, the best veterinary care around from a bulldog specialist, and behavioral evaluations of the highest quality. We offer nutrition and lifelong wellness support to every adopter.We serve the state of North Carolina, the state of South Carolina and the state of Alabama. Made up of 150 volunteers, B2TR has rehomed almost 350 bullies and counseled hundreds of families to provide support, encouragement and training consults to help keep bullies in their homes.The national economic downturn in the past few years has presented some unexpected challenges for B2TR with an unprecedented rise in bulldog surrenders both by owner families and various animal care and control organizations that turn to B2TR for assistance in appropriate placements. Our dedicated group of volunteers has enabled us to not only respond to this increased need for our services but also to strategically expand both our service area and our exceptional Rescue Program which focuses on allergy issues, skin problems and large scale surrender situations.

The American Chestnut Foundation has one simple goal: to restore the American chestnut to its native forests. Destroyed by an imported blight many consider the worst environmental disaster of the twentieth century, the American chestnut was virtually eliminated from the eastern hardwood forest between 1904 and 1940. With its loss, wildlife populations plummeted; never to return to former levels. With recent developments in genetics, there is promise that this critically important wildlife food source and timber tree will again become part of our natural heritage. To make this possibility a reality, a group of prominent scientists, in 1983, established the non-profit research-oriented American Chestnut Foundation (TACF). The Foundation's mission is simple: to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem. TACF is employing traditional plant breeding techniques, backed by advanced research methods, to develop a blight resistant American chestnut tree. TACF is restoring a species - and in the process, creating a template for restoration of other tree and plant species.
