Various Locations & Dates
Chicago English Bulldog Rescue Meetup is the one true Meetup group that fully supports the Chicago English Bulldog Rescue (CEBR) 501c3 non profit organization. This Meetup group is open to any and all english bulldog lovers who would like to experience the breed on a frequent basis through social, educational and rescue related activities and content.
Join Meetup for tons of bully information and come on out to experience it firsthand!
Be sure to mark your calendars for the biggest, baddest and best one-of-a-kind bulldog extravaganza on the planet. This is an event you don't want to miss! With over 600 people and their bullies in attendance, you really don't want to be the one trying to explain to a very disappointed and surly bully why you weren't there. If you love bullies in costume (and who doesn't), good food and just darn good bulldog fun -- then it's really a no brainer.

Meet-N-Greets are regularly scheduled so that adopters and CEBR supporters can meet our adoptable bullies first hand! If you have applied to adopt, this is a great way to get to know the bullies currently in our care. If you haven't applied yet or are interested in bullies or rescue, talk to our volunteers who have a wealth of knowledge and would be happy to share.
CEBR and The Lab Connection Rescue will be at the Bay View BARK for an adoptable dog Meet N Greet. C'mon out! There is no cost to meet lots of adoptable pups (both labs and english bullies) and speak with knowledgeable volunteers who can answer your questions about these breeds.
