Alright, step right up...no ketchup allowed...and meet Sweet Pickles, the Chicago hot dog of dogs. 🌭🐾
This handsome young man comes fully loaded: a little shy at first, a whole lotta heart underneath, and those big, soulful mastiff vibes that make him more “deep dish soul” than fast food. Sweet Pickles is dog-friendly through and through. He gets along great with other pups and is happy to hang with his four-legged crew like it’s a block party on Maxwell Street.
Now, with people? He’s more of a slow-simmer, extra-flavor kinda guy. Sweet Pickles needs a little time to warm up, just like a real Chicago dog takes a minute to appreciate properly. But once you’re in, you’re in. Loyal, loving, and devoted in that quiet, steady way that mastiff hearts do best.
He’s not loud. He’s not flashy.
He’s rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying - the kind of companion that sticks with you for life.
So if you’re patient, kind, and ready for the best slow-burn love story in Chicago, Sweet Pickles is your fully loaded forever dog. 💛🐾

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.

More about this rescue
We are a small 501c3 nonprofit rescue, committed to leading with our heads rather than our hearts, to help quality dogs find quality homes.
We work closely with area shelters to get as much information as we can about the dogs we take in so we can be as prepared as possible to provide for their needs as we place them in well-matched foster homes. If you would like to join our team of fosters, expect us to have a close ongoing relationship with you as you help your pup get ready for their permanent home.
If you are looking to adopt, expect us to get to know you, too, so we can help you find the dog that will thrive best in your home situation. Like big dogs in general, pit bull type dogs tend to have big personalities, and are an athletic bunch (they even power nap). They aren’t right for every owner, but not every person should be allowed behind the wheel of a Maserati either.
Wondering if a pittie is right for you (and if you are right for them)? Talk to us!
