The adoption donation is $150 for adult dogs 2 years and over, $200 for dogs 7 months to 2 years and $250 for puppies under the age of 7 months. Our dogs are all spayed/neutered, micro chipped, current on all vaccinations, heartworm tested and dewormed. They all have at the minimum basic obedience skills and have been temperament tested to ensure proper placement.

All adoptions start with an application, reference check and home visit. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this. In addition, once a dog is adopted, Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue will complete follow-up phone calls and visits to ensure that the animal is safe and to answer any questions that may arise. We are always available to answer any questions and to pass on our knowledge of the breeds. We can also make recommendations for nutrition, veterinarians, boarding facilities and training classes.

Please remember that just because you find a specific dog attractive does not mean that it will fit into your lifestyle. Please take our recommendations with sincerity since we know the dogs and their personalities. We want to place a dog in a FOREVER home and strive to make it right the first time. We have many contacts and if we don't have a dog that fits your lifestyle, we will be able to point you in the right direction. Please, print out the form and fill out the application and meet with one of our volunteers.

Thank you for visiting our website and completing an application for one of our wonderful bullies! Please keep in mind that we are a volunteer run organization and it may take us a couple of days to get in touch with you. If you do not hear from someone within 48 hours, please email us at info@cbbr.info as we have had problems in the past with not receiving all applications submitted. We are working on this problem and hope to have it fixed soon!

The adoption process works like this:

  1. You submit your application – COMPLETED.
  2. A volunteer looks over your application and starts the screening process.
  3. A volunteer will contact to you to discuss your application, interview you and your family and set-up a time for a home visit.
  4. Once you are approved, we set up a time for you to meet the dog you requested and any others that may be suitable for your situation.
  5. At the adoption, the adoption fee must be made in full (checks payable to CBBR) and the contract must be signed. If you prefer to pay with a credit card or directly to our veterinarian office, we will make arrangements.

Again, thank you for looking at the beautiful bullies that we have in rescue and we will be in touch with you soon!
