Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Jager is a sweet boy who needs a nice home to give him a shot! Jager came to ACL as a young dog, likely barely a year old, tied up near the shelter. Over a year later, he still has not had a foster break or much adoption interest. Jager is being as patient as we could ever expect, but he is always excited for the day that someone will come and take him home! He is one of the most affectionate dogs in the world, and will do anything for some love and praise (and treats!) With every new person he meets, all he ever wants are some head scratches, a fun game of tug, and a nice long walk.
Weight: 50 lbs
Spayed/Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes!
Housebroken: Unknown, but not in the shelter! This environment is not good for their potty habits!
Crate-trained: Unknown!
Leash behavior: Working on it! They are still learning what the leash is all about and may have some behaviors that will require continued positive reinforcement training.
Dog sociability: They don't like them! They do not get along with other dogs and need to be the only dog in the home.
Cat sociability: They do not do well with cats! They will chase, bite, attack, or otherwise harm or frighten cats.
Kid sociability: Unknown! Possibly could be good with kids aged 13-18.
Likes: Scritches from everyone, friendship, the concept of love
Dislikes: anything that stands between him and getting his required cuddles
If you’d like to meet Jager, please fill out an adoption application at animalcareleague.org/adoptions and send us an email at adoption@animalcareleague.org!

We do walk ins, unless the animal is in a foster home, which we would set up an appointment. Please fill out an application on our website, animalcareleague.org to get started.

More about this shelter
The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.
At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970’s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.
From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.
The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
