I've always loved bulldogs and knew they came with a big commitment to keep them healthy. Even though we had our other bulldog for 4 years when we applied for Betty, i was very happy that CEBR put us through the application process, including a house visit. So many people love bulldogs, but many don't understand the commitment that comes with them and they are often neglected or given up. The CEBR application process demonstrated to me that they want to be sure the animal's new home is truly their forever home. We've since moved out of then Chicago area, but continue to love our Betty four years later...and even though we are out of state now, i continue to support CEBR through financial donations. I highly recommend this organization!

Edit: A quick, cursory search on the IRS website using the MAR business EIN 46-0841798 (which is…read morepublic record) shows that taxes have not been filed for at least the past 10 years (see photos previously uploaded). This business is not registered with the IRS and subsequently shows that no tax documents have been filed for at least the past 10 years. Do your own research before using this business. A complaint has been filed with the BBB (which also has not accredited this business, and the BBB shows multiple previous complaints). Initial review: Beware- this rescue claims to be a nonprofit and claims that donations are tax deductible, however it is not registered with the IRS. There are plenty of other shelters that are reputable and law abiding. I've uploaded screenshots (see most recent photo uploads).

I would truly look elsewhere to adopt and that's heartbreaking to have to say but you won't know if your application was received, whether you're being considered, if you are incompatible nothing. These beautiful dogs deserve a home but her personality and the way she runs this business is going to continue to deter others from adopting from here. If you look at the other reviews you'll see this is incredibly common unfortunately. I hope others have a better experience from here on out!

Clean welcoming vibes in the lobby, friendly staff. My cat was seen right away by the vet. We had a private room we got to go into. They were awesome they felt kind *(they even offered treats) . The vet gave me her honest opinion and information. I felt heard after having an awful experience at another vet, I trusted my gut to get another opinion. The other vet qouted me more then double then what I paid here. REASONABLE PRICE$ :) My cat left calm happy and feeling better I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VET OFFICE

***If you're looking to rescue from here BEWARE***…read more I adopted a puppy from this organization in 2019. Unfortunately after years of trying to correct behavioral and paying hundreds of dollars trying to correct this nothing worked. I reached out to Marsha Perry in 2020 to inform her of the problems and she simply told me to look into training (which we already had spend hundred on). In March of 2024 I reached out to her again to tell her I had tried everything and couldn't keep the dog anymore. Marsha said "ROAR has not been doing dogs for many years and has transitioned to mostly cats". She also said "can't he be kept in a cage or in a separate area of the house?" She became extremely vile, unresponsive at times and simply refused to help. At the time do adoption we were told they would take the dog back NO QUESTIONS ASKED, should "life happen" and we could keep him anymore. Clearly not the case. I continued to reach out to other rescues in the area and unfortunately a few months later my husband lost his job, we had to move in with family and their senior dog gets severe anxiety around other dogs. So keeping our behavioral complex dog was not an option. I reached out to a shelter in desperation and explained to them everything that Marsha had said to me. I even showed them emails and they were APPALLED! They were happy to take him in and take care of him. A few days later Marsha emails me with a very nasty tone "I can't believe you thought this was a better option for him." Ummm...you left me no choice! Please stay away from this organization. Not only will they NOT honor signed contracts, the owner Marsha will harass you, belittle you and be flat out be nasty to you. I have reported this organization. These people shouldn't be allowed to continue to foster animals. I can only imagine how they treat those poor animals.

I found a 2 y.o. little black Chihuahua mix here that honestly resembled my late dog, but smaller. Such a cutie! The process went quickly, we were able to meet the pup soon after being approved. A week later, she was on her victory ride home! The facility is spotless. Brightly colored, cheerful and lots of light. We met another dog too - for a li'l playdate to see how my pup is with other dogs. The animals here are all clean and very well cared for. Sure, it's a shelter situation, but they do a really good job of keeping them happy. The staff is utterly great - true dog lovers. They were very detailed with all the info and background they had for my new pup - behavior, quirks, feeding - everything. They love this little dog! Answered all my questions, AND we have a group chat for questions that have come up after she's been home now. The women here were really fantastic, and you can tell they want the pup to go to a home that really works out. Price? Sure, there are adoption fees - this pays for their medical care, microchip, etc. It's a BARGAIN, since these little beasts are priceless for all the happiness they bring to their new owners. We were sent home with food, meds, a leash, tags - everything! Location is GREAT, right next to Sketchbook Brewery in Skokie. Highly recommended - they are just great, and we are so happy with this little pup. We are gonna be great together! She's decompressing nicely and exploring her new neighborhood and home.

This is the first time I've brought a shelter animal home without major health issues. After a God-awful experience fostering for a cat shelter on the north side of the city -- which lied to me repeatedly about the foster cat's condition and then heartlessly euthanized her -- C.A.R.E. was 180 degrees different and a breath of fresh air. Often shelter cats are underweight and saddled with at least one type of parasite, despite the shelter's best efforts. That was not the case here; in fact, the cat got a clean bill of health on her first vet trip, which she handled like a pro, leaving a trail of admirers behind her. That said, extra credit to C.A.R.E. for treating the less robust kitties, with cancer and similar illnesses, that other shelters are too cheap to deal with. If you're thinking of adopting or fostering, come meet the animals here.
