My story

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

Meet Marshbruno—the big-boned, big-hearted, big-energy boy who’s so ready for his forever home! He’s been crushing it in a home setting and just needs the normal warm-up time every foster pup does. Once he settles in? Game on.

He’s fully crate- and potty-trained, sleeps like a snoring angel in his crate at night, and then spends his day bouncing between cuddle sessions and playtime. This guy LOVES his toys—stuffies, ropes, bones—if you can throw it, he’s sprinting after it with maximum enthusiasm.

Marshbruno is basically a walking hype squad. He’s obsessed with food, pumped for walks, and always down for exercise or an adventure. Companionship? He lives for it. If you’re moving, he’s moving. If you’re chilling, he’s chilling… after a few zoomies, of course.

When he meets new people, he bursts with excitement (full wiggle mode activated!) but once he burns that happy energy off, he melts right into cuddle puddle mode.

Marshbruno is ready to swap kennel mornings for sunshine, soft beds, and a family who can handle his lovable, goofy, high-spirited energy. Whoever adopts him is about to get a whole lot of joy wrapped in one big soft marshmallow of a dog.

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.
