So You Want To
Adopt Your New Best Friend

Chicago English Bulldog Rescue will consider adoptive families in the Chicago and surrounding areas only. This includes Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland suburbs, Milwaukee and Madison and suburbs.  This adoption area is simply due to logistics and distance of travel for our volunteers. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the dog's background and your family's needs. Every dog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a furever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right dog with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet's permanent home.

If you are willing to wait for the right animal to be matched to you,
you are an ideal candidate for Chicago English Bulldog Rescue. As our success rate proves, these precious dogs are well worth the wait.

OUR PROCESS

Step

The most important step; submit an for an adoptable, or soon-to-be adoptable bulldog from our website. No one will be considered for adoption without a fully-completed application.  And the most well thought out applications are given priority.  So take your time and be thorough and thoughtful.

Step

An adoption coordinator will respond to you 48-72 hours after we've received your application, please make sure to check your spam folder. If you still don't see a response, please email us at [email protected] so we can help.
