My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**ECHO HAS BEEN ADOPTED!**Meet Echo, a charming and cheerful little pup searching for a forever family. Pal's Place rescued Echo, her four littermates, and their mother, Ember, a lovely, mild-mannered Chow mix, from an animal control facility in rural Kentucky. This sweet family was left outside the facility after hours to fend for themselves overnight and was not discovered until the volunteers arrived the next morning. The shelter is off a busy road, and Mama Ember did her best to keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, however, a vehicle hit and killed one of the puppies overnight. Thankfully Ember and all of the other puppies survived until the shelter reopened. After hearing their horrific story and all they had been through, we knew we could not leave them at an overcrowded, chaotic, stressful pound and found them a wonderful foster home in Chicago.
Echo's mother, Ember, is a delightful, gentle, and loving 40-pound Chow mix, but her father's breed is unknown. While we cannot say their exact breed mix, we think the puppies may have some Australian Shepherd, Sheltie, and Collie in their family tree. The puppies are estimated to be around 10 weeks old now (8/1) and weigh between 8-10 pounds. Given their current age and weights, we expect them to mature into medium-sized dogs, somewhere in the 35-50 pound range. Echo and her littermates are curious, confident, social, and adorable pups.
They will make outstanding companions for active families with the time, energy, and patience to raise a young puppy. They get along well with other dogs and are working on their crate training and housebreaking in their foster home. Remember that puppies this age and size need potty breaks every 2-3 hours, with lots and lots of playtime and mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. Please consider if you truly have time for a puppy before applying. Echo and her sibling are neutered, current with age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea and heartworm prevention. They are ready and anxious to meet their new families! The adoption fee to the rescue is $475
