My story

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


Will You Be the One to Show Me That Love Is Real?
Hi, I'm Pixie. I'm a sweet 5-year-old girl with a story that's been tough, but I'm ready for my happy ending.

My Journey So Far
Life hasn't been easy for me. I survived on the streets, landed at Chicago Animal Care and Control, and experienced unkindness before that. I learned to be cautious, to protect myself, to keep my guard up. But the caring people at CARE saw something special in me—tiny tail wags when someone speaks gently, quiet wiggles when I get soft attention, and a heart that's ready to trust again.

The Real Me
Underneath my initial nervousness is a dog with so much love to give. I'm already showing signs of the confident girl I'm becoming:

I absolutely love car rides—they make me feel calm and hopeful. I respond beautifully to gentle, patient handling
Every day I'm discovering that kindness is real and people can be trusted
My personality is slowly blossoming as I feel safer

What I'm Looking For
I need a special person who:

Understands that building trust takes time
Has patience and won't rush me through my journey
Can provide a calm, predictable environment where I can decompress
Sees the potential in me and is committed to helping me shine
Will celebrate every small victory as I come out of my shell

What I'll Give You
Once I know I'm safe, you'll receive a loyal, loving companion who understands what true kindness means. I have years of love stored up inside me, just waiting for the right person to share it with. You'll get to witness my transformation and know you changed a life.
My Promise to You
I'll work hard to be brave. I'll trust you more each day. And I'll love you with a depth that only a dog who's been waiting for home can offer.
Are you ready to be my hero? Because I'm ready to be your devoted companion.
—Pixie

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
