My story

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

Cami, my Chamomile, I can't believe that we are here. Cami has been a true miracle since coming into our rescue. She made her way to us, truly days away from wasting away. She was confiscated due to being severely neglected. A 40-45 lb dog full grown, made her way to us at 19-20 lbs. She was covered in fly bites and wounds. She had every reason to trust no one and still she melted away in our arms.
Cami is truly the a true example of resilience. She is the sweetest girl you will ever meet and just wants to cuddle with you on the couch, while you rub her head. She is beauty and grace, but she is however learning what it's like to be a puppy who feels GOOD. With that being said, sometimes when she wants to play she can be a little mouthy. She is capable of being redirected and trained, however for this reason I do think that kids above 10 would be best for her. This isn't because she isn't soft and gentle, she is, but she's learning and needs children confident enough to help her!
She is dog friendly but definitely has a playful personality so she would do best with a dog that meets her excitement.
She is playful and energetic but absolutely has an off switch so she can be happy in different energy levels of a home. She is crate trained. She is working on potty training and is probably like 80-85% there, it's obvious that she lived outside for a while but we have come so far! She loves running around in the back yard but also does great on a harness when going for walks. If you bring some treats, she'll do whatever you ask!
Anyone would be lucky to have Cami as apart of their forever family. The joy that she brings to everyone she meets is contagious and I truly can't get enough. Cami deserves a home that can continue showing her that not all people are bad. Cami deserves a home that is patient and helps her continue gaining confidence and routine.
If you are interested in being considered a forever home for Cami, apply directly. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org. Her adoption fee includes her spay, up to date vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative and microchip. Cami is currently being fostered in Chicago and does have an open adoption radius for the right fit. Adopter must be willing to meet and finalize in Chicago.

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!
