Story
*Welcome almost adoptable Silvie* Hi! Silvie here…wanna be my friend?? Silvie because I have the most beautiful silver coat. I am about 50lbs, and three years old, but I really am a puppy at heart. I love everybody and all animals, I really just want them to notice me and give me some lovin’. I get super excited when I first meet you, but I calm down after a while. We are working on manners…I like to jump cause I just am sooo excited! But all that excitement means I also like my naps, but naps are better with snuggles. My foster family says I am a good learner because I already sit so very nice and now I can walk on a lease…I do get excited to go home though. But there is just this one thing…. I seem to get very insulted when vehicles drive past on my walks, so rude to distract me. I would need a family that has time for me, as I need some work on those manners and learning my cues for potty time. Other friends would be nice cause I love everyone. I have a foster dog sister Shirley, but she is a little too old to play. I am really good with my foster cat brother, he meows a lot. I also have a human foster brother that is my pal. I just love to play and sometimes it is hard for me to stop, I am getting better though. Hey, did I tell you that I need help with wiping my skin folds on my face?? My foster mom does this everyday, in between kissing my face off! Oh yeah, I do not like to going in that cage but once I am in there I figure it’s a good time for a nap, they made it so cozy for me so it’s not so bad. They tell me a lot that I am a good girl, I like that, and it helps me… along with a good cookie of course :) If you would like to donate to Sylvie's care, and the care of dogs like her, please go to our website at http://shopcebr.com/products/donation or Venmo @ChicagoEBR HOW TO QUALIFY FOR A CEBR BULLY- To determine if you qualify to adopt one of our adorable bullies start by viewing our Adoption Area Map.

Story
This girl was found at an auto shop, hence her name. She is very friendly and playful. She is around other dogs her age and does well. She likes to be in charge so she would do best in a home with calmer, submissive dogs. She will need puppy training as we aren’t sure if she has had any. She likes toys and loves to show them off to people! She is good around kids but is excitable so will need to learn how to be around little ones. She is learning how to be on a leash and does okay in a kennel. She’s just an active girl who needs an active family to keep her busy. She is just looking for fun times and a family to share them with her. She is being fostered in TN but we do transport using the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. We transport every weekend alternating between the Northeast and the Midwest.

Story
🐾 Meet this lil ADOPTABLE Boo thang! 🐾 Are you ready to meet your lil Boo thang? I'm Boo, a sassy senior English Bulldog with a heart as sweet as her adorable wrinkled face! I'm 8 years young and a petite 36 pounds, and I'm looking for a forever home to live out her golden years. Not only am I a professional snugglebug, but I'm also a social butterfly! I get along with other dogs and kids, and love to be where the attention is. When I'm not busy charming everyone I meet, you can often find me catching up on my beauty sleep. Yes, this laid-back lady knows how to appreciate the finer things in life, and I take my naps very seriously! But don't let my love of lounging fool you—I have a secret athletic talent! I have a passion for playing with balls, especially soccer balls. Watch me strut my stuff on the field as I dribble and pounce with finesse, proving that age is just a number when it comes to having fun. I'm super healthy and my only beauty treatment is daily eye drops for my chronic dry eye. Of course, my favorite activity of all is soaking up the spotlight. I'm an attention-loving pup who adores being the center of your world, and I'll gladly accept all the head scratches and belly rubs you can give. And let's not forget one of my other talents—I'm completely house-trained! No need to worry about accidents from this well-mannered lady. Plus, I'm a pro when it comes to car rides, making me the perfect adventure buddy for all your road trips and errand runs. Potential adopters must live within CEBR's adoption radius. I'd love a family ready to give me lots of attention and a soft blanket to rest. I love to play with kids! I am comfortable with other dogs, but these hips don't lie- I'm getting up there in years and probably would get annoyed with a super active canine playmate. So, what are you waiting for? Let me be your lil Boo thang and you'll get the best of my love! 🐶💕 If you would like to donate to Boo's care, and the care of dogs like her, please go to our website at http://shopcebr.com/products/donation or Venmo @ChicagoEBR HOW TO QUALIFY FOR A CEBR BULLY- To determine if you qualify to adopt one of our adorable bullies start by viewing our Adoption Area Map.

Story
Hi there new friends, we’re Tula and Lupe, 4 year-old English Bulldog sisters looking for their forever home together. You might have noticed that we're both a little on the thicker side at the moment, but don't worry, we're working on our fitness to become a little sleeker and more aerodynamic. Our foster parents say that in the meantime we're just extra adorable. We even stop traffic when we go on a walk, because everybody wants to say hi to us! Oh, we love walks, and we do really well on the leash. Actually, we like doing most things together. We're littermates, so like most siblings, even if we bicker once in a while, we always love each other. We sleep cuddled up together too. We’re both house trained, and don’t chew on anything other than our toys. We also get along well with other dogs, as long as we are introduced slowly. I’m Lupe, I’m the one with a big brown spot on my back. I’m a spunky, playful girl. I’ve had to be the boss for a while now, but I’d really love a forever family that will take over being in charge so I can relax and get back to being a dog. I love getting scratches and playing ball. Even though I’m a stout 67lbs, I love to run after the ball when you throw it (I’m fast too!), and then will sit and chew it for hours if you let me. I have a tail pocket that needs to be cleaned regularly, but I don’t mind having it cleaned, it feels good actually! I'm curious, smart, and surprisingly active - considering that I'm the thicker of the two of us - and I will never turn down a chance to play with you! I’m Tula, and I’m the sweetest, most affectionate girl. I’m the one in the pictures with one brown ear, and a brown patch on my eye. I love to sit leaning against you and will never get sick of being pet and getting love and kisses. I love to sunbathe in the backyard at our foster home. The sun feels nice on my pretty, soft white fur. I’m a gentle, sensitive girl and I’m happiest when I’m near my people. When I’m away from my people and want to be near them, I make hilarious noises that my foster parents think sounds like a grumpy baby dinosaur! If you’re looking for an “instant family,” maybe we’re the right pups for you!
