**Meet Rita!**

Rita is one of the newest kids on the block here at Club IEBR. Rita came to us after she landed at an increasingly full shelter. Thankfully, shelter staff reached out to us and one of our amazing foster families stepped up.

We suspect Rita was used as a breeder girl and then dumped. She's settling in well to her foster home, seems familiar with being in a house and couches, is super low key, and sleeps all night in her kennel with no complaints. Oh, and there are NO BABIES in there. She is working on getting down to a healthy weight.

More details to follow soon on Rita as we get to know her. ❤️ Welcome, Sweet Girl!

We love to see updated pics of our alumni, but somehow it's even sweeter around the holidays. ❤️ Who else takes pictures of their furbabies with their holiday decor? We'd love to see! Feel free to share below! 👇

Sofi's foster Mom says she is an absolute snuggle bug! To be honest, we are having a hard time believing that she's not been snatched up yet. To read more about our darling girl, check out: https://www.ilenglishbulldogrescue.org/adoptable.html

With a heavy heart, we wanted to let everyone know of the recent passing of IEBR Club Member, Monkey. Many of you may remember that Monkey (fka Onyx), was adopted from IEBR in 2017 and returned to us in April of 2024 with her sibling after both of their parents passed away. We will forever be thankful to Monkey's original foster family who welcomed her home with open arms. All of us at IEBR would like to express our deepest condolences as well as our deepest gratitude to her foster-turned-forever family for always loving her and being Monkey's safe place to land. Godspeed, sweet girl. 🩷

Please help us welcome Champ to IEBR. Unfortunately, this sweet 14 month old fella has been dealt a pretty unfair hand in life. In Champ's short life, he has had pneumonia three times (quite possibly due to a condition megasophagus, more on that later). He also has a variety of joint issues including luxating patellas and hip dysplasia as well as hyperkeratosis that affects his paw pads.

His Mom had done extensive research on the bulldog breed before getting Champ. Unfortunately, she fell victim to the pet store lure/trap as many do before knowing where pet store pups come from.

If this is new to you as well, the sad reality is that pet stores sell puppies from puppy mills or backyard/hobby breeders. People that breed dogs to sell to stores do not care about the overall wellness of the dogs they breed including their mental health (they are often too young to be away from Mom), but physical health and temperment also. It's all about the money. Are these puppies adorable? Absolutely! Are their lives valuable? Of course. But responsible breeders care about their dogs and breed to IMPROVE the health and wellness of the bulldog breed.

Thankfully, Champ found his way to his Mom who doted on him with everything she had and ultimately made the selfless decision to surrender Champ to IEBR to ensure he could continue to get the best possible care throughout his life.

This is where you come in... Champ's ongoing care is very, very expensive and he's going to need additional diagnostics to determine if his megasophagus will resolve or if it's a lifelong issue. Currently, he's on special food to help him avoid aspiration again. He's also on a variety of medications and supplements to manage his joint pain.

Are you able to help us, help Champ? Are you able to help us fulfill our promise to his heartbroken Mom to give him the best possible life? Absolutely no donation is too small. To donate click:

Hi everyone !!!
It’s me again, Gucci. for some reason the lady that takes care of all us dogs is always calling me Gucci Goo… I guess I really don’t mind that she still doesn’t know my real name after all these months, it’s starting to kind of grow on me a little,
So anyway things are going really good here, I’m still haven to go for the spa days. This lady here puts all of us in the car at the same time she takes us to see a lady named Groomer Deb.
Groomer Deb gives us baths and cleans my ears and does a pawdicure . Groomer Deb is nice and I like my nails to look nice. Groomer Deb says that if I have nice nails I will find a stud, what ever that is???
We have a new kid here, so my job is to teach the new kid the ropes around here. So far that going good it’s a lot of work though, but the new kid does like to play with me, we like run around the table in the house and we like to play tug a war if we can find one of the man’s dirty socks! we also get chew bones to naw on… even though I’m ok here, I do really need My very own forever couch! The great big dog here takes up too much room on the couch here! My dream is to have a couch all of my own…and that’s not this couch.
So if you have a comfy couch, like short walks, playing tug of war and you need a friend that will love you forever. Pick me!!! I’m your girl!!

You might remember that Sofi came in with her brother Larry. When we get dogs from the same family, we like to keep them in the same foster home if at all possible, to determine if they are a bonded pair. We quickly realized that Sofi and Larry are not bonded. In fact, they are very independent of one another.
Sofi’s foster mom says this about Sofi. “She is an absolute snuggle bug”. “She is an easy dog who doesn’t require much except for your love and snuggles”. With that said, Sofi is being treated for anxiety. She is on a low dose anti-anxiety medication 2x daily. Sofi is fully house broken. She tolerates other dogs but doesn’t love to have them take her humans love. She currently lives in a home with her sibling Larry and another foster and is good with them (no food or toy aggression) but would thrive in a home where she is the only dog. For this reason, we are looking for a family that will make Sofi their one and only!
Are you looking for an absolute snuggle bug to fill your heart with love? If so, Sofi is your girl. Sofi will be ready for adoption very soon. If you think Sofi is a fit fill out your application today!!

If you are interested in Sofi please visit our website: www.ilenglishbulldogrescue.org, and read through our adoption criteria to see if you meet our requirements. If you do, please fill out an application to adopt.

Grey and her sister, Frida, are looking for their furever homes. Although both have spina bifida, they are your typical young, bully girls.😍❤️😍 Please share far and wide. We know there's a match for Grey and Frida out there! #rescuedogsrock #adoptdontshop

**Hit Play Below for Frida's Reel!** Frida and her sister, Grey, are eagerly awaiting their furever homes! Both have spina bifida, but don't let that scare you! They are very much your typical, full of personality, young bullie girls. Learn more at: www.ilenglishbulldogrescue.org

Sofi had a mini-photo shoot while at the vet Monday. She was such a good patient! It's likely nothing serious, just a little Gl issue, but they also ran bloodwork just to be sure.

We have a lot of bullies that are waiting for their forever family. Everyone of them is beautiful inside and out!

IEBR Fosters Frida and Grey early on when they first came into rescue.

IEBR Foster Billy turning up the charm level to a 10! Just look at the face! Billy has come so far since he came into foster care, and we are so proud of him and grateful to his foster Mom for her patience and love. To learn more about Billy or other bullies in our care, please visit our website for more information.

IEBR bonded foster sisters, Leona and Vivi, had a party in the kitchen while their foster Mom was getting some work done. These 2 sweeties are looking for a forever home to call their own, as they are bonded, they will be adopted together.
