Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue CBBR is a foster based rescue. Check out our adoptable dogs or sign up to volunteer at www.CBBR.org CBBR is an all volunteer, foster home based rescue.

We do not have a facility to house animals so we are limited on the type and amount of dogs that we can bring into our program. All donations go directly to the care and well-being of our dogs. We are a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax deductible per IRS guidelines. Please note that Subscriber Hub payments on Facebook are not tax deductible. WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES! Without the help and support of foster homes, we have to turn needy animals away. Help us solve that problem! Some of our volunteer opportunities include:

Foster Care: Volunteers provide in-home care for animals that are sick or too young for adoption. CBBR will identify animals that require foster care and provide food and equipment to foster homes for the proper care of the animal. Foster homes are licensed by the Department of Agriculture, and are subject to inspection by CBBR on an annual basis. Animal Exercising And Dog Walking: Volunteers work with animals to provide exercise and help continue and improve social skills in the animals. Event Volunteer: Volunteers should be willing to work on an as-needed basis before and during fundraising events. Assistance in preparation for events is also needed, which includes mailing, research, brochure distribution, etc. On event day, duties include setup, decorating, photography/videography, registration, ticket booth, serving, etc. Humane Education: Volunteers will assist in handing out information at the summer fairs, events. Volunteers are also needed to help form new programs for the Humane Educational Initiative. Lost And Found Department: You will help match owners with their lost pets. Duties will include checking lost pet bulletin boards, lost pet ads in the classified newspaper ads, and work with other shelters to locate lost pets. Fundraising Team: You will become part of a team who’s job is to create and put together ways for CBBR to raise money. This can be anything from a candy bar sale, pancake breakfast, to a weight pull event. This team is a really important aspect of rescue, as without funds there is no way for us to continue to operate. This is the department in which we are lacking the most currently, so if you feel this is your strength please contact us.

Meet Maple!
Maple is a 5-month-old puppy with the sweetest soul and the most beautiful, soulful eyes—and I dare you not to fall in love with her!

This girl LOVES to play. She’s learning the art of fetch and will happily zoom around the yard until those little legs finally give out. She absolutely adores other dogs and loves playing alongside them (especially if she can have the exact same toy they’re playing with! ). But when playtime is over, Maple is just as happy curling up on the couch with her people for some quality snuggle time.

Maple is a curious, happy girl who is learning her manners every day. She listens wonderfully for a puppy her age and is eager to learn. She loves anything she can appropriately chew—from bones to toys—but thankfully, she isn’t destructive with other things around the house.

Maple’s checklist:
5 months old
Crate trained
Housebroken
Great with other dogs
Learning how to walk on a leash
Potentially good with cats with proper introductions
Loves to play AND loves to cuddle
Curious, sweet, and eager to learn

Maple is the kind of puppy who will keep you laughing with her zoomies, melt your heart with her sweet personality, and then curl up beside you when the day is done. Are you ready to meet her? Apply today CBBR🐶org

❤️ Meet Gemma ❤️
Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and that’s how this sweet girl finds herself looking for a new home.

Gemma is a 7-year-old, 40-pound pocket pittie who spent the last five years deeply loved and cared for by her human. Sadly, her person is now facing a medical issue and can no longer give Gemma the time and attention she deserves. So, through absolutely no fault of her own, Gemma is ready to start her next chapter.

And honestly? Gemma is pretty darn wonderful. 🥰

She’s great with people of all ages, including kids, and she’s good with other dogs. She’s even politely ignored the cats she’s met. She’s housebroken, trustworthy when left home alone, and doesn’t need to be crated — although she is crate trained.

Gemma is also a fantastic walking buddy. She’d love a fenced yard, but she’s totally apartment-savvy and doesn’t need one to be happy. Whether it’s heading out for a walk, joining you on an adventure, or simply spending the day lounging by your side, Gemma is happy as long as she’s with her people.

And when it’s time to relax? That’s her specialty. She loves sleeping in, cuddling in bed or on the couch, and generally enjoying the good life. Give her a walk and she will happily stop to smell approximately every single blade of grass. 😂 She also LOVES treats and may let you know — loudly and without hesitation — if you’re taking too long to deliver them.

Gemma would be wonderful in a family with kids and an active lifestyle where she can be included in the fun, but she’d be just as happy being the perfect wingwoman for a single person.

She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, has no known allergies or behavior issues, and is simply a whole lot of love wrapped up in one adorable pocket pittie.

Gemma has already known what it feels like to be loved. Now she’s looking for the forever family who will make sure her next chapter is her best one yet. ❤️

If you think Gemma might be your girl, apply to adopt at CBBR🐶org

🍊 Meet Lil Sweet 🍊

Lil Sweet is about 3 years old and basically a tiny, curly-haired Creamsicle muppet with BIG opinions. (Maltipoo?) 😂

She’s sweet, cuddly, loves belly rubs, food, dental chews, and will happily snuggle with you for hours. She’s also made friends with her foster siblings—but she still has zero interest in hyper dogs getting in her face. Boundaries, people. 😂

And yes, she has a big mouth. If someone gets too close to “her” house, she’ll let you know. Think “GET OFF MY LAWN!” energy. 😂

Lil Sweet has been around kids and tolerated them, but she has never lived with them. Because she has very clear boundaries, she needs an adult-only or very calm home where someone understands dog body language and won’t push her limits.

She’s looking for someone who appreciates a little diva attitude, respects her boundaries, and will help her succeed.

Basically, she’s sweet… with terms and conditions. ❤️

🍊 Breed: Certified Muppet Dog (Maltipoo?)
🍊 Around 3 years old
🍊 Regular grooming needed
🍊 Dog friendly (with the right match)
🍊 Calm, quiet home preferred
🍊 Available through Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue

Meet Lil Sweet 🩷 If you’ve ever wanted to share your home with a tiny old lady who has a lot of opinions and an even bigger heart, let me introduce you to Lil Sweet.

She’s around 3 years old, and while we have no clue what breed she is, she’s basically a little muppet with the most gorgeous ombré Creamsicle curls you’ve ever seen. Those fabulous locks will need regular grooming to keep her looking her best. (Maltipoo?)

Her previous owner abandoned Lil Sweet, but she hasn’t let that stop her from loving her people. She’s happiest curled up next to you, soaking up belly rubs (just don’t overdo it, she’ll let you know when she’s had enough!) and happily working on a dental chew.

Personality-wise? Think Sophia from The Golden Girls. She’s funny, bossy, incredibly endearing, and has absolutely no filter.

She takes neighborhood watch very seriously. If someone gets a little too close to her house, you’ll definitely hear about it. And when it comes to other dogs…well…she has some strong opinions. She does best when other dogs mind their own business and give her space. She isn’t looking for dog friends—she just wants everyone to respect her bubble. She has developed a crush on her foster brother Zu to prove she can live with other dogs.

Lil Sweet would thrive with someone who appreciates a dog with character. A fenced yard would be a huge plus, or a person who’s willing to work with her on her walk etiquette while respecting that she’s not going to be everyone’s social butterfly.

She’s not a perfect dog, but she’s a wonderful one. The right person will see past her spicy little moments and fall in love with the goofy, cuddly girl underneath. Watching her settle in next to you after a long day, snoring away without a care in the world, makes every bit of her attitude worth it.

If you’re looking for a dog with personality, humor, and enough love to fill your couch, Lil Sweet is waiting to meet you.

Lil Sweet is available for adoption through Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue. Apply at CBBR🐶org!
