Bear (Biggie)'s Story

Hi! My name is Bear. As you can see, Im beary, beary cute. I am a 3-year-old English Bulldog and weigh about 53 pounds. I was surrendered by my previous owner so I can find a family that has bulldog experience. I came to CEBR with good looks and sweetness but not an ounce of training. I am still learning what is for me and what I need to leave alone. I have a very happy-go-lucky personality and just enjoy life. I like treats, people, dogs and car rides. Im learning to like toys but still havent quite found my favorite yet. I do enrichment activities (ie- lickimat, snuffy mat, ripping cardboard boxes that I am given) and training activities every single day to redirect my undesirable behaviors and burn my bully energy.<br/><br/>My foster family said they had to Bearproof the house. When I first moved in, I couldnt even handle watching the garbage cans being emptied, but I am doing better with that now. Toilet paper, garbage cans, plungers and cleaning brushes have been moved off the floor. Towels have to be hanging out of reach so I dont grab them off the towel rack. I dont like things plugged into outlets. If I see them, I will unplug them. And the cord may become a game of tug, whether you like it or not. Rice cooker, blow dryer and computer cords are no match for me. Decorative items have to be out of reach too. Like I said, I am working on training and manners so I can be friends (not frenemies) with everything in the house. Im working on house training too. Im improving but still not 100% perfect. I like going outside but I like to chew and tug my leash. In time, that will improve too as I learn.<br/><br/>Things I am good at- being beary cute, very sweet, not an ounce of bulldog attitude or stink eye. I am well-mannered when my ears get cleaned. Commands I have learned- sit, paw, stay, leave it. We practice those commands daily so I continue to do better. I am also good about going in my crate and staying there while no one is home.<br/><br/>My forever family must be patient. I spent my first 3 years of life living rule-free so it will take patience, training, training and more training plus time for me to learn manners and the difference between right and wrong. In addition to daily training with my foster mom, I have had training sessions with A Sound Beginning trainer. While I like kids, I dont know my own strength so I would probably do better with older kids in my family.<br/><br/>Although I require patience, I am the sweetest and cutest bully you will ever meet! Foster mom says Im sweet as pie and just as nice to look at. Are you the right people to help me be the best Bear I can be?<br/><br/> Please visit our website www.ebullymatch.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Chicago English Bulldog Rescue's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION TAKES THOUGHT AND PATIENCE. We know you are excited about the thought of getting a bully.  But before you make this decision, we ask that you have done the following: Spoken with all members of your household and come to mutual agreement. Discussed the new addition with your home owner's association or landlord if applicable. Experienced the breed yourself.  If you do not currently have a bully family member, we ask that you attend one of our CEBR events before applying. Double check our <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1_X5jrnXxKTzx7jXpAX8RJ62-4ag&ll=42.38536758099242%2C-87.59990514999998&z=7">Adoption Area Map</a> to be sure you are in our range. Save up!  Bullies are not an inexpensive breed and having a solid savings account that has an emergency fund is essential.  Rescue bullies are also not a way to get a "cheap bully."  Often times rescue bullies end up costing more in upkeep than a bully purchased from a breeder.
