Rescue Me ID: 13-03-19-00145Autumn (female)

American Bulldog    Age: Puppy

Compatibility: Not Good with Other Dogs, Good with Kids and Adults 
Personality: High Energy, Very Dominant 
Health: Needs to be Spayed, Needs Vaccinations, Aggressive 

    She is very aggressive towards our two beagle's. But she is so awesome with us and our 4 year old girls. She is very protective of us and is going to be a great watch dog and family dog. She just cant be with other dogs. We dont have the time or resources to train her properly, if it's possible. And it is not fair to her that she needs to be in the cage most of the day. But I can't risk her attacking the other dogs, especially with the kids around.

Animal ID: 3DR-006Vedder (male)

American Bulldog Mix    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Cats 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current, Abused/Neglected 

    Vedder is a 2 year old American Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier Mix. He is a medium sized dog weighing about 45 lbs. He is 19 inches tall floor to shoulder and will not get any taller. Vedder was found abandoned, left outside with his brother to die. Animal Control found him just in time, his brother was not so lucky. Despite this cruelty, Vedder's desire for love is undeniable. He loves to go for car rides and chew on rawhide bones. He loves affection, but understands crate time. He gets along well with his 5 month old bulldog foster brother. This sweet boy has an understandable distrust of people right now, but is working so hard to overcome it ... (Read More)every day. He has not had any issues with kids and seems fascinated by them when he sees them in public. He is housebroken and crate trained. He knows basic commands (sit, paw, down, roll over) and walks well on a leash. He is very food motivated, which has helped his fosters to make major training improvement. In true Pit Bull fashion, he is eager to please his people. Vedder will probably be best off with an experienced handler who can continue to work with him. Vedder is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, Heartworm negative and comes with his own 72 hour Disaster Kit which includes collar, leash, blanket, food, water, treats, first aid kit, and more! Vedder's adoption fee: $250 To apply to adopt Vedder, visit: www.disasterdogsrescue.weebly.com/adopt (Less)

Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Neutered, Seizures 

    Elvis is a hunky, sweet, happy, confident and loving, 19-month-old, 75-pound, male American Bulldog looking for a loving guardian. Elvis was found wandering the streets of Chicago and was rescued by a caring dog-lover. He thinks he's a lap dog and will snuggle, give kisses and roll over and close his eyes as he enjoys a belly rub. He also loves car rides. While Elvis doesn't have any formal training yet, he can easily be lured into a sit and takes treats extremely gently from your fingers. He loves all people, and does well with other dogs ... he's sharing a foster home with two male mixed breeds. Elvis has been diagnosed with primary epilepsy ... (Read More)so he takes daily meds that have eliminated seizures. He is otherwise healthy, de-wormed, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly heartworm preventative. His adoption fee of $200 benefits Rain Dog Rescue. To meet and possibly adopt Elvis, please contact Jennifer at Raindogrescue@gmail.com or 773-770-5115. (Less)

PIease Read Before Adopting an American Bulldog in Illinois
    American Bulldogs can make good pets in Illinois if they match your IifestyIe. The American Bulldog is an athletic, determined, loyal, and highly devoted breed. American Bulldogs are very affectionate towards children but should be supervised because of their strength. American Bulldogs are very protective of their masters and make great guard dogs. An American Bulldog can do fine in an apartment if it gets enough exercise and is walked daily. Like the English Bulldog, the American Bulldog tends to slobber.

lnteresting American Bulldog Trivia Low-Cost Illinois Spay & Neuter Clinics
    The American Bulldog thrived in the colonial American South due to settlers' problems with feral pigs. American Bulldogs were their best means of controlling the pigs. The American Bulldog is a much closer relative of the Old English Bulldog than the modern English Bulldog is.
