Coco Melon

English Bulldog

Female, 1 yr 2 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Here is what the foster has to say about this sweet girl! “ Coco Melon has been in her foster home for about a month and is doing great! She is crate trained, sleeping nicely at night and when left alone, and house-broken. Because she’s still young, she benefits from supervision when out of her crate and is learning not to nip and not to counter/table surf. Coco lives with 2 other pittie-mix dogs and does well, though she would thrive in a home with zero or one other dog. She plays and snuggles with her foster pittie sister, and mostly leaves her foster pittie brother alone, understanding that he runs the show. Coco enjoys her fenced-in yard where she can explore, chew sticks, and relax. She’s been on a few walks and walks nicely without pulling too hard, and she doesn’t seem to require too much exercise. She’s learning good treat manners, loves Nylabones, and also enjoys her naps. Overall, Coco Melon is a sweet, social young pup who is crate trained, making great progress with manners, and would do best with continued structure, supervision, and guidance as she grows. 💛 PROS Housebroken Crate trained Friendly, snuggles dog-friendly Quiet/doesn’t bark Isn’t reactive on leash Sits nice CONS Might nip in a friendly way, because I’m still young and learning, so maybe older kids Scoots her butt, so if fancy white carpeting is your thing, Coco Melon, may not be Counter/table surfing’

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi there new friend! My name is Olive. Im a 2-year-old, Blue Fawn Olde English Bulldogge, that means I look a bit like an English Bulldog, but Im long and lean. Think bully sport mode. I also have beautiful green hazel eyes that I love to look at you lovingly with. I started life as a breeding dog, but I guess I wasnt very good at my job, so lucky me- I got to retire! Now Im reliving the puppyhood that I didnt get the 1st time around. I like to explore my world with my mouth, because everything is new to me- but I would never hurt a fly on purpose. Im getting better about exploring with my nose and not my mouth. Ive also learned that when people say leave it that they dont want me to have something. Im so smart and Im learning what makes my foster people happy everyday. I hope my forever family will help me continue to learn and become the perfect house pup. What I dont have to learn is how to be affectionate and loving, because I already know all that really important stuff! I also love to run and jump and play, and boy can I run fast! My foster parents laugh at my gymnastics everyday, and say that I have a happy-go-lucky personality. I try hard to use the potty outside, but I havent mastered the leash yet. I dont really understand that Im tethered to you. I have a backyard here, but Im working on understanding a leash walk too. Im a quiet girl, and I havent really used my voice here at all. I also sleep happily in my crate all night. I need to get my beauty sleep for more zoomies. Ive been getting along well with the other dogs here, and I like all people too, but small people might be harder for me. Im just not the carefulest of girls yet. So, whatcha think? Are you my forever family? -Olive Please visit our website www.ebullymatch.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.From Tragedy to Hope — Meet Chula Currently in Texas | Transport Available Born: Senior | &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 61.2 lbs Special Needs: Daily thyroid meds Adoption Fee: $200 (or $300 if adopted with her best friend, Chance) Apply: www.adoggie4you.org One minute, Chula was living the dream—riding in her dad’s truck, snoozing beside his recliner, and sharing the bed with her brother. Then, everything changed. Her dad passed away unexpectedly, and for three long days, Chula stood guard beside him, confused and heartbroken. Strangers broke in, and in her fear, Chula did what any loyal dog would—tried to protect the only home she'd ever known. What followed was terrifying: a catchpole, a loud kennel, and separation from her brother, Booger. Chula's world fell apart. But her journey didn’t end there. When our team finally brought Chula and Booger to the rescue, they were deeply traumatized. For months, Chula only trusted one person—Pat—who she knew from her previous life. Slowly, she began to open up, and her healing truly began when she was introduced to Chance, another long-time resident who had also faced a tough life. Together, they brought each other back to life. Now, Chula runs and plays, walks on leash, and enjoys meeting new people—on her own terms. Her friendship with Chance has given her a second chance. Why Chula Will Steal Your Heart: Beautiful Shar Pei/Lab mix with soulful eyes House-trained and tidy—never soils her kennel Loves toys, playtime, and curling up to watch TV Gets along with other respectful dogs, especially larger ones Would thrive in a calm home with a fenced yard Needs an experienced, patient adopter who will let her bloom Takes thyroid pills twice daily (easy to manage) Chula is looking for a quiet, loving home—ideally with Chance, but she would also thrive with another friendly companion dog. She's not suited for homes with small children, cats, or tiny dogs due to her past and her cautious nature. &#226&#156&#168 Chula has spent enough time waiting. Now she’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion again—could it be you? Transport Available to WA, OR, Midwest, and East Coast (excluding RI & MA) Transport Fee: $225 (if applicable) &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Apply now at www.adoggie4you.org and let Chula know what it feels like to be truly home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 5, 2025, 11:44 am

Miss Bea JuM

Rosemont, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Miss Bea’s journey really started when she was rescued along with 30 other dogs on the property due to an extreme hoarding situation. She was one of two mamas that just had her babies and she was so glad to be reunited with them at the rescue! She raised 8 of those babies and her sister raised the other 9 pups! They survived a horrible situation and both Miss Bea and her sister, Betsy (also available for adoption), were just wonderful mamas. Now it is THEIR TURN to find homes!!! Miss Bea's foster moms adore her and here is what they have to say, " We knew the task to foster Miss Bea was going to be a slow process. We had been briefed about her being feral and was familiar after fostering her son, sweet Hondo, what it would take. With some love, patience, and a bit of know how , she has turned into my little “happy to see me” shadow (see her videos!!). She has a big bark for a little girl but it is only when appropriate. Loves yummy treats and affection from the people she knows and trust so much so she will paw at you to keep going. She isn’t the biggest fan of going for walks because outside can be scary sometimes but does have some leash confidence. She has no issues with being in the presence of kids. She is great with our other dog and is potty and kennel trained. We couldn’t pick her up for months but now she just plops on me like we have known each other our whole lives. Miss Bea needs a special home that will give her the time and gentleness to allow her to open up." Bea has been given a NEW LIFE and she is ready to SHARE THAT LIFE and HOPE WITH YOU!!! PLEASE ADOPT!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Who's better than the rest-y? That's right, it's me, Betsy! I am a cool Chinese Shar-Pei mixed female with a Tuxedo colored coat and white socks! My facial features even have a cool black and white coloring to them too! I was rescued from a bad hoarding situation alongside my siblings, thing's weren't looking good for us. But our big-hearted rescuers saved us and got us on the road to better care and living great lives! Betsy likes to chew on big bones, occasionally wiggle her ears around, and bark at squirrels. Now we're on our way to finding our forever homes. Learning how to socialize with other dogs, take walks, and play fetch with a ball. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey! This is Betsy signing off! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
