Story
Hey folks! My name is Rita and I'm looking to end my couch surfing to find my permanent home! Not much is known about my past, but my foster mom thinks I lived in a house 'cause I know my way around. I am about 5 years old. I settled right in with no accidents, sleep well in a kennel, and love my fluffy dog beds with blankets. When I came in, I was a little hefty (hey, this girl likes her food!), but I have trimmed down some. Foster mom thinks that I am big-boned, so there may not be much more I have to lose. I do really love people food - and will let you know when I think I deserve a taste of what you have. Generally, I am a pretty easy going girl. I really love my naps, and sometimes I think I should be a lap dog! Who wouldn't want to snuggle with my super cute face?? I do well with my foster sister (and the various dogs who pass through my foster home), but sometimes I can get overwhelmed. I think a quiet home, with a low-key sibling is the best fit for me. I do NOT enjoy long walks - but sometimes want to go on a super short one  My legs are short, so a half block is like a mile for me! Spunky spurts do hit, but they are usually centered around food and meal times. Do you have a permanent couch for me to land?

Story
Grey had a rough start to life and came to IEBR when she was 5 months old. Grey is now 2 yrs old. Grey was born with spina bifida, a congenital defect of the spinal cord. As a result, she has some weakness in her hind limbs and is a fully incontinent diaper girl. Grey has the sweetest disposition and loves all people after her initial stranger danger warning. Over time Grey’s personality showed us that she really didn’t’ care for any other fur siblings in or around her people ( or any people within her eye sight really). She’s jealous with just the thought that another fur might get the persons attention and for this reason Grey would do best in a family that has no other animal. It’s a tough one because if she isnt’ in the jealous mood she will even toss her toy at the cat to try and engage play but it’s too risky as she is unpredictable in her behavior around other pets when there is a human nearby. She loves a comfy couch but is content in her dog bed . Grey does have a ball obsession and has her favorite ball of the month, she will beg you to play catch with her and it’s a toss up if she will give you the ball to throw or hold it for you to stare at it in awe. Grey has three modes: sacked out and snoring, sweet and cuddly, and up and ready to play and won’t leave you alone until you throw her ball at least a few times. Her puppy energy comes out in little bursts throughout the day and she gets restless without daily exercise, so play time and/or daily short walks are a must. The rest of the time she is happy to nap. Grey is an “alerter”, and gives a bark when she hears something out of the ordinary or a knock at the door. Her ideal living situation would be a home with few stairs (she can climb stairs but it’s not easy for her and going down more than 1-2 steps she will drop her hips and drag herself down). Maintenance includes normal bulldog stuff like cleaning face wrinkles and ears and administering eye ointment for her mild entropian ( vet suggested no surgery as long as drops work but if gets worse or if she has surgery for something else to address at that time) . Grey requires diaper changes every 4-5 hours during the day. Her skin is prone to irritation, so it's important that she has daily diaper-free “naked time” to allow her skin to breathe and air out and help prevent uti’s. Currently Grey is not crated at all and gets her daily air time while ball playing outside and laying around outside relaxing while her person is piddling around in the yard. Grey would like her future family to know that bathtime is the BEST time and she has no problems getting in for either a quick butt wash or full on bath/shower. She lives every day like it’s Tongue Out Tuesday and greets every morning like it’s the Best Day Ever. What more could you wish for? This sweet, sensitive, smart, funny girl will be a loyal and loving member of a lucky forever family! Grey has been waiting a long time with us to find her family, if you think it’s you please submit your adoption application! If you are interested in Grey please visit our website: www.ilenglishbulldogrescue.org, and read through our adoption criteria to see if you meet our requirements. If you do, please fill out an application to adopt. Greys's adoption fee is $550.00 Visit us on Facebook: Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IllinoisEnglishBulldogRescue

Story
Calvin is a housetrained, fun-loving, and energetic pup who’s ready to find his forever home! He's a sweet, 6-year-old Bull Terrier Mix who weighs 43.3 pounds. He loves his crate (as long as the door’s open!) but prefers snoozing on a comfy dog bed. This goofy boy has a ton of energy and enthusiasm for life—he’s always up for a round of fetch (or three!), toys, car rides, and a nice bone to chew on. Although Calvin walks well on a leash, he can be dog reactive, so he’ll need an owner who can confidently manage his reactivity in public. A securely fenced yard would be a big help for exercise and playtime. Calvin has been around babies and toddlers, but may accidentally knock them over in his excitement, so a home with children over age 5 would be best. With his playful spirit, affectionate personality, and love for cuddles, Calvin will bring endless joy and laughter to his new family. His minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
