My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Your Regal Defender- Tux!

Woof woof! Dearest companions! In case you couldn’t tell from my regal appearance, I am none other than Mr. Tux…or, you know, just Tux. My journey commenced upon the streets of Kenosha, where I was discovered as a stray. While my exact lineage remains a mystery, whispers suggest a delightful mingling of English Bulldog and Boston Terrier. I’m four years old, and about 40 pounds. My foster mom says that I’m very loving and loyal, and she wanted to bring special attention to my precious, specked ears! And she’s right, they are adorable!

Since I have the opportunity, allow me to tell you about some of my favorite things, not necessarily in order of priority: I love snuggles, belly rubs, secluded walks with my humans, and playing with toys. Oh, and naps! I love taking naps too! Some say that I snore, but I never personally heard anything so I’m not sure if those rumors are true.

I do hold some reservations about strangers when they first enter my inner circle. Unfortunately, I didn’t always have a great experience with people, so I think my anxiety is understandable. Luckily, some patience and the approval from my people eases my concerns. More so, once I welcome someone to my inner circle, I find myself longing for them when we are apart. But with each passing day I am quickly mastering the art of solitude, thanks to lots of practice with my foster parents!

Alas, the quest for my forever family begins. I haven’t met too many children in my life, so I think it would be best if they didn’t have any little ones. Whether rural or urban, my new kingdom should be on the quieter side with plenty of space to hang out away from scary strangers. Should there be another canine companion, I prefer the presence of ones who share my love of the calm and quiet life. In other words, what I’m looking for is a family with the patience and compassion to guide me through my anxieties so that my confidence may soar, and a home where the comings and goings of visitors are kept to a minimum. In exchange, I promise to be the most loving boy they’ll even meet!!!

Thank you for considering me,
Mr. Tux (or just Tux to my friends and family)

Additional adoption info

1. If you would like to know if you are in our adoption area, please View our Adoption Area Map.

We know there are so many wonderful homes out there in other states and other parts of Illinois that we simply can't get to.

2. We will only consider a home with an application on file. So, if you don't have your application on file with us, please fill one out. To fill out our application, please visit: http://ebullymatch.com/Adopt.html.

3. Each application is thoroughly reviewed and will either pass through to a phone interview, or will not move forward. We will contact you if we feel you make the cut. We also require an in-home interview and will advise if you have made it through to that round.

4. Each bulldog will come with an adoption fee that varies from around $600 and up depending on the age and health of the dog. In addition, we require a contract that indicates that if for any reason, you can no longer keep your rescued bulldog, you will contact us directly for rehoming.

The care we provide our English bulldogs, including a high quality diet, the best veterinary care from a bulldog specialist, and behavioral evaluations, exceeds any rescue organization around.
