Welcome to CEBR, Chicago English Bulldog Rescue, an Illinois 501c3 charitable organization established in 2007. We're here to provide rescue, safety, medical care, rehab, and homes to any bulldogs in need. And we could always use your help!
CEBR is 100% volunteer-run. In addition to loving the breed, do you want to help us help them? We have lots of opportunities and options - from helping us interview potential adopters, to planning events, transporting dogs and raising funds. It takes a village. Come join ours!
Every single bulldog we rescue is placed in a foster home. Fosters are people who take a CEBR rescue bulldog into their home and care for them as we address their medical and behavioral needs. All expenses incurred by this animal will be paid by CEBR. The foster family's only responsibility is to provide them with shelter, socialization, and love.
if you think fostering might be for you fill out our application!
CEBR relies on volunteers to not only care for the dogs but to maintain our social media presence, host events, organize behind the scenes, or even join a team such as fundraising, volunteer management or even marketing, Sound interesting? Let us know.
100% of funds raised for CEBR go to the care of our bulldogs and the operations to support these dogs. And the care these bullies need and deserve can get expensive! In 2023, we spent an average $1126 per pup.
Each bulldog we take (from the street, breeders, family-rehomes, or from other rescues) can include vetting & medical assessment, vaccines, spay & neuter, surgical procedures, follow-up vetting, physical therapy, behavioral treatment, medications & prescriptions, food, dog beds, harnesses & leashes. That stuff adds up.
Monetary donations are the main factor in determining how many dogs we can rescue each year. and they're tax deductible!
