Visit your local animal shelter, such as the SPCA or animal control. Many dogs who need homes are dropped off at these places, and if there was a stray English bulldog who had puppies, someone may have brought the puppies here. Additionally, a pregnant English bulldog could have also delivered while at the shelter.

Scan the Internet and newspapers for private pet owners looking to find homes for their English bulldog puppies. Not every English bulldog birth is planned, therefore, there are times in which pet owners are looking to adopt the puppies out. Visit sites that are intended specifically for the adoption of animals, such as PetFinder.com.

Tips & Warnings
About 25% of shelter populations consist of pure-bred dogs. Therefore, you do have a good chance of finding an English bulldog puppy at that type of facility.
Be patient in your search for an English bulldog puppy. Puppies are usually the most popular choice in adoption, so it may take you a little while to find what you are looking for.
If you adopt an English bulldog puppy from an animal shelter, she or he may already be spayed or neutered. This can save you money and time since this beneficial surgery is already done for you.
Chances are you are not going to know the health history of your English bulldog puppy's parents. Therefore, you may inherit a dog with genetic defects that may be detrimental to her later in life.
