My story

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

Any Medical or Special Needs: Yes, recovering from surgery 11/24 for a common orthopedic condition in dogs where the kneecap (patella) dislocates from its normal position, leading to pain and mobility issues. (covered by the rescue). He is more than able to be adopted but any family interested in him must be willing to take him to and from any appointments needed!

Temperament with:
Dogs: Great

Children list specific ages: All ages
Strangers: Happy to meet anyone and everyone!

Training Needs:
Crate Trained: Yes!
Potty Trained: Yes!

Kane is a SWEET American Bulldog mix weighing in around 60 pounds at about 2.5 years old! This guy has the biggest head with the smushiest jowls and the most LOWEABLE personality, BUT he has convinced absolutely no one that there are many thoughts going on behind those eyes lol! He is the kind of dog to scratch his ear with his foot and then smell it, he is the kind of dog to bang his head on the corners of a wall, and he's the kind of dog to walk into doors or windowpanes because he doesn't understand how they work lol. Everyone loves him so much for his personality, not so much his smarts lol!

With that said, this boy is AWESOME! He’s potty and crate trained, is AMAZING with all dogs (even when they’re being mean to him) and currently lives with dogs as big as 110 pounds and as small as 25 pounds and is on the submissive side towards dogs! Kane has this goofy habit of what his foster family calls "the play trap" where he rolls around on his back until another dog comes over to check on him and then gets trapped into playing with him lol (check out the video and picture of him belly up- Spot fell into the trap and got stuck playing with Kane)! Kane is pretty similar to a small child in the sense that he never wants the fun to end so the play trap usually comes out after he has had a good play session but doesn't want to keep running around so he just lays there until a poor, innocent victim comes over to check in on him and then gets stuck playing with him! Kane is also such a SNUGGLER and enjoys wearing sweaters and pajama's, lounging in comfy beds, and being tucked in at night (look at how cute he is in his little bed)!

Kane also shares toys and water great (he is still working on sharing food from a bowl has made leaps and bounds and is able to eat food right next to another dog now! In the meantime, though, he will happily eat his food in his crate)! While he’s not a fan of the kitties, that’s ok- he has so many other amazing qualities! He’s medium energy, rides great in the car, is GREAT during bath time, and walks well on the leash! He is still learning not to jump up but he LOVES treats so training isn’t too hard (you just have to get past the lack of brain content lol)! Kane also takes treats SO gently and is overall just such a sweet boy! He LOVES affection and is ALWAYS trying to smother others with love and kisses- affection is definitely this boy's love language! Additionally, Kane has never met a stranger and can often be seen getting his whole-body wagging when he sees his most favorite people! He goes to work with his foster every day and is always such a well-behaved boy! Kane is not destructive and does a good job self-entertaining with toys! As he hasn't shown destructive tendencies, Kane would most likely do well when left out!

More about this rescue

MISSION
Our mission is to be a voice and a home for dogs and cats who do not have one. To provide love, care, and shelter for those who have never had it or have lost it. We believe all animals are deserving. We will rescue, protect, vet, and provide hope as we search for loving forever homes for all animals that come into our care.

PURPOSE
Ruby Whiskers Animal Rescue, based in Lemont, IL, is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. Operated by dedicated volunteers and supported by foster families and sponsors, our goal is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.​​​

GOALS
Successfully rescue and rehome dogs and cats from kill shelters and other abandoned situations.

Spay/neuter all animals that come into our care.

Grow a foster and volunteer network.

Support and educate the community of the importance of spay and neuter.

Keep pets with their families by providing assistance with pet food, training, vetting, or any other pet related issue, in order to keep them together and out of the shelter.

Educate adults and children to build awareness, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay and neuter for all animals.

Advocate for stronger laws regarding animal welfare, cruelty, and puppy mills/pet stores.

Help decrease the homeless/abandoned animal population to in turn reduce euthanasia rates at shelters and animal control organizations.

PHILOSOPHY
Successful RWAR adoptions depend on strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers. Through these relationships we will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year and provide them with loving temporary care and carefully-matched forever homes.

SUPPORT
Best Friend’s Animal Society NO-KILL 2025 Goal

Reaching no-kill by 2025 means that every shelter in our country is getting the community support it needs to save every dog and cat who can be saved. *When a shelter is saving at least 90% of dogs and cats entering that shelter, it is designated as no-kill.*
