About

President : Carolyn Kimbrell

My name is Carolyn Kimbrell and I am the President of Bull Terrier Rescue Club of Southwest, Fl. Inc, I was born and raised in Atlanta GA. I was always an animal lover since I was very young, In 1993, I met my husband Robert, who had a Bull Terrier named Mr. Bully. He was a very special bully. He was deaf, and knew sign language. It was love at first sight. I had never met such an amazing breed with such great temperament and personality. We lost him in 1996.
Since then we have had 3 more Bull Terriers, Jasper, Maggie , and LuLu. I have been very active with Bull Terrier Rescue since 2002 ,when we adopted Jasper, our now 12 year old , deaf boy. I have been the Rescue Chairman for the Bull Terrier Club of Tampa Bay and have decided to start my own rescue because of my passion and love for this very special breed.

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

Treasurer: Joan Spangler:

I have been involved with Bull Terrier Rescue for about 48 years. It started with the Barbary Coast Bull Terrier club in California in 1972. When we moved to Florida in June 2005, I became a member of the Tampa Bay Club where I served in several functions among which the Treasurer position. In early 2012, when the Tampa Bay Club went into a different direction, Carolyn Kimbrell and I decided to create the Bull Terrier Rescue Club of SW Florida in spring of 2012. I have served as the Treasurer since its inception and take care of all the State and Federal requirements of a 501(c) 3 organization. My husband and I currently have a 10 year old female bull terrier, named Sasha. She was deemed not adoptable in 2014 and scheduled for euthanasia. Although it has been a lot of work to make her a good canine citizen, her devotion to us and our love for her make it all worthwhile. My motto " Give every dog a Second , Third, or Fourth chance!
