My story

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

Aviva made us cry the second we met her. We had spent the day volunteering at our local intake shelter when before we left we saw something that happens everyday all over. This sweet girl was being tied to a trash can pole to fend for herself. She had no idea what was happening and we instantly walked over to go grab her. They didn't want to wait in line to surrender her and so instead they left her. We approached her and she instantly gave us a hug, no idea what was going on. We thought about her for days and within no time she was in our care.
Aviva is estimated to be around 2 years old. We don't know much about her past but we do know that her future will always be filled with love. She has some scars on her face that we can only imagine are from dog fight wounds around her mouth. She is being fostered with other dogs and we have noticed that she tends to do better with a dog that is more submissive or as an only dog. She is potty trained. She does well in her crate, she does get excited when she can see you though so a crate cover is best in those situations. She is good on the leash but sometime does pull out of excitement. She also just enjoys to be in your preference.
Aviva's adoption fee includes up to date preventatives and vaccines, she is spayed, heart worm negative, and microchipped. If you have any questions before applying to be considered for Aviva please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org. Aviva does have an open adoption radius however chosen adopter would have to travel to Chicago as we do not utilize transport options.

Additional adoption info

Every dog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a forever-home match. We are careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right dog with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet’s permanent home. These steps ensure that we have all the information needed to make the best placement for you or your family.

More about this rescue

At Chicago Rescue Authority, our mission is to create a compassionate world where every animal is treated with love, respect, and dignity. We are dedicated to educating the public about the adverse realities of the mass-production industry for puppies, raising awareness about responsible pet adoption and ownership, and actively working towards reducing the overpopulation of dogs in shelters.

Our promise to Chicago is to build our rescue on the tenets of teamwork, education and compassion. We will listen to the concerns and ideas of those around us and be ready to grow alongside this rescue and this mission.

Volunteers, fosters, donors and adopters will be the backbone of this organization, just like every other animal welfare non-profit. We will be hosting a variety of fundraisers and mixers throughout the year aimed at building our support network. We can’t wait to meet all the animals whose lives we are going to change!
