A Little Info About LBR


Lucky Bulldogs Rescue is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization founded by five seasoned rescue volunteers and Lucky Bulldogs Rescue Board Members Stacy Perkins, Katie Doyle, Adam Covington, Lyndsey Wright, and Tanya Ferrell. All five Board Members have years of rescue experience and truly take pride in their rescue work.

Our mission at Lucky Bulldogs Rescue is to rescue as many brachycephalic (short snout) dogs as we can from the commercial breeding system. We rehabilitate, evaluate,and adopt them out to loving forever homes so they can experience the spoiled pet life after spending their first years being bred. We also occasionally take dogs who were being re-homed online or if owners contact us to surrender their dog.

Lucky Bulldogs Rescue focuses on English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and other short-nosed breeds we like to call the smushie faces. All our dogs are fostered in the homes of volunteers who work hard to gain the dogs' trust and teach them that positive human interaction is possible while also maintaining medical care and sometimes dealing with dogs with special needs.

Board Members

Stacy Perkins
President

Stacy lives in Council Bluffs, IA. Her first Frenchie was a retired commercial breeder she adopted from a local rescue.  After experiencing what it was like to rescue a dog, she became aware of the need for volunteers in the rescue world as well as the abundance of dogs in need of rescue.  Since then, Stacy has volunteered with multiple rescues until she and a handful of like-minded friends she met in the rescue world formed Lucky Bulldogs Rescue.  

Tanya Ferrell
Vice President

Tanya lives in Franklin, TN. She and her husband Aaron have two children and six rescued furbabies; three Boston Terriers, two Frenchies, and one English Bulldog. The Ferrells adopted a Boston Terrier named Chance after he lost his home and family in the 2010 Nashville Flood. Chance passed from Thyroid Cancer just two years later. In 2012, Tanya and her family began volunteering with rescues in his memory after Chance's passing. 

Adam Covington
​Treasurer

Adam lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He and his partner have two French Bulldogs named Finn and Frank. Finn came to Adam with severe allergy issues, and Frank was rescued from a private breeder at nearly 20 pounds overweight and with very little social skills. Finn and Frank now oversee Adams companies and roam the workplace demanding treats and belly rubs. Adam and The Fam have been working with rescue organizations for a few years and are all thrilled to be making a difference in so many dogs' lives by being a large part of Lucky Bulldogs Rescue.

Katie Doyle
Secretary

Katie lives in West Des Moines, IA. Along with their dog and cat, she and her husband Jason have four children and one grandson. When she isn't busy driving her fellow Board Members crazy with her comedic personality, you can find her on her on bicycle or geared up, ready to play hockey. Katie takes pride in her rescue work and does a great job at keeping everyone in good spirits.

Lyndsey Wright
Director of Marketing & Communications

Lyndsey lives in Cedar Rapids, IA with her husband Adam, their four human sons, and their three furbabies. Lyndsey and Adam excitedly welcomed their first Frenchie into their home in 2017. They were instantly in love with Mike, as was Cyrus Jones, their Golden Retriever. Adam and Lyndsey adopted Noodle just five months after becoming first time Frenchie owners. Lyndsey began volunteering almost immediately after adopting Noodle and has been in the rescue world ever since.
We are based in Iowa but we have fosters throughout the Midwest and various other states.  All our dogs have location information included in their descriptions.  We DO adopt to anywhere in the United States and Canada, as long as the adopters are willing to travel to the dog's foster location to pick up their new best friend.
