Greetings from Sarge. Found as a stray in Dallas, my time was running out at an overcrowded local shelter when CARE selected me for transport to Skokie. I was immediately placed with an amazing foster family, who’s been taking care of me since October as I underwent treatment for heartworm (nearly done—hooray!). My foster mom describes me as a handsome boy with a true passion for walking. She says I have excellent leash manners, never pulling with any force and always maintaining a nice moderate pace. I rise early every morning, wagging my tail in anticipation of our first stroll of the day. How I love the sights and smells of the great outdoors and the opportunity to meet human and canine friends along the way.

I love being close to my family and lean in for pets and snuggles. Although I’m a young adult dog, I sometimes act like a playful, silly pup and occasionally do zoomies around the entire yard. Speaking of (fenced) backyards, I spend a lot of time there, chewing on sticks or bones, and need to have one in my forever home. When I see or hear people or dogs going past, I bark to protect my foster home and family—just like I will at your house. Finally, I’m both potty trained and crate trained, although you won’t need the latter because I’m a good boy when left alone.

Perhaps you walk for fitness, or maybe you want to start a daily walking regimen. If so, please consider making me your workout buddy (and so much more). I promise we’ll have so much fun together. So don’t delay, fill out an adoption application and come and meet me soon!

I have been neutered and microchipped and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325.00. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey

Love & licks,
Sarge

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
