Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Beefy 5 Layer Burrito isn’t just a name—it’s a lifestyle. This silly, affectionate guy is bursting with personality (and possibly dreams of being on the Taco Bell menu). When he’s not zooming around the living room or kitchen, you’ll find him chillin’ in his "apartment" (aka his crate) for some much-needed nap time.
He’s got that perfect blend of spice and sweet:
🌮 Silly and Super Loving – Think: cuddle monster with a side of chaos
🚗 Car Ride Enthusiast – Beefy rides like a pro and LOVES sticking his nose out the window
🐾 Nature Explorer – Loves walks, sniffing all the things (sticks, acorns, and leaves—oh my), and trying to befriend butterflies
🌼 Flower Sniffer / Leaf Taster – May try to taste test the scenery, so a little supervision helps
🐕 Dog-Friendly Vibes – He’s shown interest in meeting dogs and has had a few successful greetings
👨👩👧👦 People & Older Kids Approved – Enjoys saying hi on walks and accepts compliments like a true celebrity
Beefy’s still learning that life isn’t always a party—he’s working on mastering the fine art of relaxing, but his excitement is part of his charm.
He’d thrive in a home that appreciates his zest for life, offers patience as he continues learning, and is ready for a whole lotta love with a whole lotta layers.

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.
