My story

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

Meet Miss Ma’am, the `Stitch` (from Lilo & Stitch) of the dog world! She may start off a bit judgmental of strangers, but once she decides you’re part of her `Ohana,` she’ll never leave your side.

• The Ultimate Velcro Dog •
If you’re looking for personal space, keep looking! Miss Ma’am believes the best view in the house is perched directly on your chest like a bird. She’s a world-class cuddler who will follow you from room to room just to ensure you`re never lonely.

• Personality & Perks •
- The Slow Burn: She takes a moment to warm up to new faces, but she flips the `sweetheart switch` fast once she feels safe.
- Home Office Hero: She’s perfectly content in her crate and can handle the 9-to-5 life home alone for up to 8 hours.
- Treat Queen: She’ll do anything for peanut butter or a Milkbone, though she prefers pets and scratches above all else.
- The Nightly Zoomies: Expect a hilarious burst of energy every evening before she settles in for a snooze.

• Friends & Environments •
- Cats & Dogs: She’s cool with cats but prefers a slow one-week `getting to know you` phase with other dogs. On walks, she’s a pro—unless there’s snow! (She’s currently learning that booties aren`t so bad).
- Kids: She’d likely thrive with kids who respect her personal bubble.

Note: Please, no squeaky toys! They scare her `half to death`—she prefers a quiet life of luxury.

More about this shelter

CCRF was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in our city. In just over seven years, CCRF has saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies.

CCRF now assists the animals that are the MOST vulnerable in Midwest - the dogs and cats that are slated for euthanasia because they are too old, too young, injured, have disabilities, or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters.
