My story

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

Klondike found his way to CRA after it became clear that local animal control was just a brief stop on his journey to his forever home. He’s estimated to be between one and one-and-a-half years old and is a Great Pyrenees or Great Pyrenees mix. While he shows many of the classic livestock guardian traits, it’s safe to say farm life isn’t in his future—this boy prefers the finer things and would be happiest living a pampered life right by his people’s side.

Klondike is dog-friendly and loves having canine companions. He’s still learning how to play, and while his style may not be the most graceful, he’s an excellent sport. He has met dogs both larger and smaller than himself and has had only positive interactions. He can get excited but isn’t overwhelming, making him a wonderful companion for a home with another dog or with dog friends who visit often.

Klondike is a total lover boy who would happily give endless hugs. He does great in his crate and only barks when another dog is being let out—because if a friend is free, why not him too? A crate-trained Great Pyrenees may sound wild, but it’s true, and it just adds to his undeniable ability. He’s mostly potty trained and will simply need a little time in his forever home to adjust to a new schedule and environment.

Interested in being Klondike’s forever home? Apply directly here! He’s currently being fostered in Chicago and is adoptable within a three-hour radius—officially that’s our adoption policy, but honestly, we just can’t imagine him going any farther. Klondike is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heart worm negative, microchipped, and just needs to put on a little more healthy relationship weight.

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!
