My love for animals started at a very young age. We always had a pet dog, cat, fish, lizards etcetera. My love for the Bull Terrier specifically started when I met my husband in 1993. He had a Bull Terrier. I had never met such an amazing dog. I would take him to the vet and people would ask me if he was a pot-bellied pig.

I started working with the Bull Terrier Rescue of Tampa Bay in 2002. I started the Bull Terrier Rescue Club of Southwest FL in 2012. It is my passion and love for this breed that enables me to continue to rescue and rehome rehabilitated healthy dogs.

In 2024, we adopted Roscoe, a badly injured dog clinging to life.  Carolyn, and her neighbor, Dr. Craig’s quick response spared Roscoe. Today he is the love of our life, the ambassador of our community, and everyone knows him by name.

I volunteered to become the Secretary for Bull Terrier Rescue of Southwest Florida because there are so many other horrific stories like Roscoe’s, that have beautiful endings. This is what we do. My goal is to bring awareness to the breed. I can’t tell you enough how rewarding it is to have a rescue, versus a high price tag dog. Consider adopting or fostering a Bull Terrier today, you won’t regret it.

This is Bill Becker with one of the rescues from the farm. Their eyes tell the whole story. This is how Bill spends his Saturdays. Thank you Bill. You have made our world better, you have made this dog's world.

We've been at it a long time. This picture was taken in 2004. We raised money over the Christmas holiday to buy food for the local animal shelter. Our little Toyota pickup was filled to capacity.
