Tiny French Bulldog With a Big Heart Faces the Unthinkable Unless Help Arrives Soon
When NorCal Bully Breed Rescue in California got a call about a shelter dog named Pelican, their hearts broke instantly. The tiny Frenchie had been brought in as a stray, otherwise healthy, but suffering from painfully infected ears that can only be treated with surgery. (Watch Video Above)
Now, the rescue is determined to give her a second chance, but they can’t do it alone. They’re reaching out to the community for help to get Pelican the care she desperately needs.
A $10,000 Surgery Stands Between Pelican and Survival
Pelican has been suffering from severe ear infections that were left untreated for far too long. The damage is now so extensive that the inner parts of her ears need to be surgically removed.

NorCal Bully Breed Rescue wants nothing more than to pull her from the shelter and give her the chance she deserves, but the surgery alone will cost around $10,000, far beyond what the rescue can afford on its own.
They’re now racing against time to raise enough funds to cover her medical care before it’s too late. Pelican has been placed on the shelter’s euthanasia list, meaning her life depends on how quickly help can arrive.
Despite everything she’s endured, Pelican remains unbelievably gentle and loving. She greets everyone with warmth and has so much affection still left to give. All she needs is one chance—and a community willing to help her get it.
Help Pelican Get a Second Chance

Pelican’s case is urgent, but NorCal Bully Breed Rescue can’t commit to pulling her unless they have the funds to truly save her. Covering her $10,000 surgery would drain their resources, halt new intakes, and make it nearly impossible to cover medical bills for the other dogs already in their care, something the rescue says wouldn’t be fair to anyone involved.
They want nothing more than to help every dog that comes their way, especially those with urgent medical needs like Pelican. But the reality is, they can’t continue doing so without help.
As much as they want to pull this sweet girl right now, they have to raise the necessary funds first. The rescue hopes people will understand and open their hearts to help give Pelican the chance she deserves.

Right now, Pelican’s fate depends on compassion and quick action. If you want to see this sweet girl get her second chance, now is the time to step up and help save her life.
So, if you want to save Pelican, wait no more. Donate whatever you can to the rescue, and they will try to make sure the dog finally gets the love and care she deserves. Click here to donate.
