Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Artie, a gentle, goofy guy with a big heart and an easygoing nature.
Artie finds happiness in simple pleasures. He loves flipping onto his back for belly rubs or using the rug for a good back scratch just because it feels nice. He’s naturally curious and enjoys sniffing everything, watching the world go by from the window, and taking in his surroundings.
At home, Artie is calm and content. He’s a professional lounger who likes to hang out under a desk while you work and keep you company without demanding attention. He knows his basic commands and picks up new things quickly, especially if treats are involved. So far, he hasn’t met a treat he didn’t love.
Artie can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he’s not scared. A good scratch is usually all it takes to win him over. When it’s playtime, he’s polite and not aggressive, though he can get a bit enthusiastic. Tug-of-war is a favorite, and soft toys don’t stand much of a chance.
On walks, Artie is a dream. He walks nicely on leash and is happy to stroll right alongside you.
Overall, Artie is a sweet, curious, and calm dog who would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a relaxed buddy with a playful side and lots of love to give. If you would like to make your life a permanent Artie Party, please fill out an adoption questionnaire at animalcareleague.org!

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.
