Success Stories

Ivy, (formerly Starz), was a six -year-old puppy mill surrender.  From first time I saw her picture on the CFBR site, I couldn’t stop thinking about her.  In truth we were hoping for a younger dog, but she was just stuck in my head.  After about a week I showed her picture to...

Peggy was taken in to our rescue due to severe neglect. Every bone in her body was showing when she came into rescue. On a scale of 1-9, where 9 is obese and 1 is a skeleton, Peggy had a body score of 1. She was very very weak. I realize now how much Peggy was...

Rowan was surrendered to Chicago French Bulldog Rescue from a breeder who was told to euthanize him. He was the runt of the litter and was failing to thrive. At 11 weeks old he weighed only 20 oz and was sickly. With the care of the Rescue’s wonderful vet and a loving foster...

Sweet Amelia came into rescue with severe hip displaysia. Her original owners brought her to the vet when they noticed she couldn’t walk well. They discovered she had a blockage in her tummy & performed emergency surgery to remove quarters, nut, bolt, and some hard plastic. The owners could not afford the bill...

I adopted the infamous Moosie, and frankly I find myself very lucky everyday to have him in my life. I work at Hightails Hideaway and we foster many dogs so I am quite used to falling in love with dogs that I don't get to keep with me forever. However, something was very different when I...

Was rescued from a shelter- prior to that, she was found wandering the streets in an area that has a lot of back yard breeders with a lot of frenchies. We believe they bred her till they were done with her and then kicked her to the curb.

Jolie is a beautiful, healthy, spayed female Frenchie who is approximately 3 years old. She is the epitome of the best in French bulldogs! She’s affectionate, she loves attention and loves to play!

Cody is a puppy mill survivor and is a very easy going and calm dog. She is still learning to trust people, but she’s making progress everyday. She is still very unsure and gets nervous when adults walk up to pet her. She gets along great with my 3 children. She gets less nervous around them than adults.

We adopted both Bonnie (or BB as we call her) and Angus, formally Titan, separately from CFBR. They quickly became the best of friends (though BB will forever remain the alpha dog...she deserves it after her hard life) and the loves of our life! They enjoy spending their days romping and playing in their yard...

Coco (formerly Dottie) has been a joy ever since she first bounded through our door with Mary. She is the most affectionate, loving pup, and all of our friends and family have fallen in love with her. She makes us laugh every day, and she is happiest when snuggling with both of us on the...

My Thanks to the Chicago French Bulldog Rescue I adopted Moujik, formerly known as Marley, on May 16th. He is now 8 months old. I have always loved the name Moujik, and for me, a French Bulldog needs a French name! In French slang Moujik means “guy” and how perfect for this little boy. Every Frenchie...

We and Paris are adapting wonderfully to each other in our first weeks together. She has quickly taken hold of our hearts and appears genuinely happy in her forever home. She loves to play, chew on bones, nap and receive lots and lots and lots of affection. Mary has been instrumental in answering all of...
