My story

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

Meet Tuba!

She’s the ultimate toy enthusiast and certified goofball!

Tuba was surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control by her previous owners. We’re not sure why, because in our eyes, she’s absolute perfection.

This lovable chonk is full of personality and lives for toys — seriously, we haven’t found one she doesn’t like. When she’s extra happy (which is basically always), she breaks out into the zoomies. And don’t be fooled by her short, stumpy legs — Tuba can zig-zag like a pro!

At about a year old, Tuba has already proven herself to be friendly with other dogs and great with kids. Now she’s on the lookout for a loving foster or forever home where she can keep spreading joy (and collecting toys).

Interested in making her part of your family? Visit our website to apply. Let’s find this sweet girl the home she deserves.

More about this rescue

ALIVE Rescue is a sustainable animal rescue group committed to protecting the lives and rights of animals. We believe that every animal has the right to a well-balanced, socialized and fulfilled life. We take on the responsibility to save, rehabilitate and place abandoned, abused and stray animals. Our rescue permanently houses and cares for the animals that cannot be placed into forever homes for the duration of their natural lives. We provide medical, behavioral and physical support for animals despite their age, health, and/or breed. At ALIVE Rescue, we promote sustainable living and care-giving by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment within our communities. We constantly work to educate the public on current animal issues, including the benefits of spaying/neutering pets.

Since our formation in 2008, ALIVE Rescue has rescued more than 1,600 animals in the Chicago area.
