You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Gretel, a soulful Basset mix born on February 20, 2020. At six years old, she has perfected the art of being a relaxed, well-mannered house companion. Gretel is a professional lounger who is fully potty trained and knows exactly how to behave indoors. While she was adopted as a puppy, she recently returned to us after a misunderstanding with a small child. Because of this, Gretel is looking for an adult-only home where she can be the center of your world. She’s a "people person" who prefers to be your one-and-only pet—no other dogs needed when she has you!

Story
Rudy is approximately 9 years old, and was adopted from Michiana Humane Society in 2018. She grew up with another dog and 3 kids. She has spent the last 2 years with cats. She is extremely docile with adults and LOVES affection. She has recently shown food aggression around the kids and has attacked the cats 2 times in the last 2 weeks. She would thrive in an adult only home, with humans who stay home often or are able to take her on adventures with them. She loves belly rubs and long walks. She has never bitten a human but has bitten the cats. She will growl if anyone nears her food. This is extremely devastating for our family, but I can’t risk her aggression generalizing to the kids, as it’s posing a safety risk to my family. She is very loyal to the person she bonds to, and I’ve never met a person who didn’t fall in love with her. I want her to find a safe, loving family that can give her the time and attention she deserves as she continues aging, to help with her anxiety 🩷

Story
💜 Meet Lola 💜 Lola is looking for a second chance at the forever home she deserves. This sweet girl was sadly abandoned by her owner and eventually found her way to us. Despite everything she’s been through, Lola hasn’t let it dim her spirit. At around 7–8 years old, she still has plenty of life left to live and even surprises us with bursts of puppy-like energy! Lola has done well with dogs but would do best in a home without cats. She’s looking for a family that will love her through her golden years and never leave her wondering where she belongs again. She may be a little older, but her heart is as young as ever. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who still enjoys having fun and making memories, Lola could be your perfect match. 🏡 Let’s find Lola the forever home she’s been waiting for. Lola will come up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and her heartworm test is pending She is available through County Line Pet Hospital for adoption or licensed rescue pull. 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com

Story
Click here for Arnold's Facebook Album June 2026: Arnold has found a loving foster home- YAY!! DNA results are in and Arnold and Dempster are 86% Beagle with another 6% Bassett and Labrador. They do have longer bodies like a Bassett Hound but sound all Beagle. Arnold, Dempster and Queenie as seen in their original Memphis, TN shelter video: https://youtube.com/shorts/FdASOSHTyP4?feature=share were dumped by family members after their owner died. All 3 tested positive for heartworms and all surely have tick borne disease and I can only imagine how bad Queenie's teeth are. They are all now safe in the Chicago area after a transport out of Memphis on 9-26. These 3 dogs have suffered some neglect besides their health care neglect, but with some time and patience they will learn to trust humans. Queenie has moved to her own foster. Arnold and Dempster just need a lot of human interaction and cuddles to help build their confidence. They are great with other dogs so a foster with confident well socialized dogs in the home will help them adjust to kindness. We need some exceptional fosters or foster to adopt homes that will help with their heartworm slow kill treatment plan. If you can help a frightened, neglected Beagle over come some serious neglect and learn to trust humans again, please PM me. Our foster or adoption application can be found at www.helpibr.org If you would like to help with their medical expenses, we have PayPal at www.illinoisbirddogrescue.org VENMO with @illinoisbirddogrescue and ZELLE with info@illinoisbirddogrescue.org If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.

Story
Click here for Dempster's Facebook Album April 2026: Little Dempie has been in foster care since January. He was a timid little guy back then but he is doing so much better now and getting more confident everyday. He is even starting to come up for pets and is getting used to being loved on. Because of my dogs he has learned that coming to pet for lov'n is kinda nice. Helping a frightened dog can be very rewarding and I hope I can find someone like me in the Chicago area that has time and patience to help him continue to learn to trust that some folks are nice. DNA results are in and Arnold and Dempster are 86% Beagle with another 6% Bassett and Labrador. They do have longer bodies like a Bassett Hound but sound all Beagle. February 2026: I've had Dempie in temp foster care for a few weeks. He's still a bit shy and unsure of me so he would really need a very patient, loving person willing to work with him. Using food has been helpful but he feels most safe when he is around my dogs. He loves to play, so a home with a playful buddy would be ideal. He is mostly housetrained and he feels safe in a cage. We will be DNA testing him soon to see what else is in his mix.

Story
Click here for Jed's Facebook Album September 2025: Jed is a very handsome Beagle (maybe mixed with Basset a few generations ago) that came to us from the Brownsville shelter in Tennessee in late August. He was found as a stray and was covered in ticks. He's suffered some neglect that includes sadly a heartworm diagnosis and he will need a dental. His first tick panel does show Rocky Mountain spotted fever and his blood work shows that he was quite a sick camper, but he is really feeling quite well in such a short time. Jed is your typical sweet, sometimes loud Beagle. He is so good with every dog he meets and he is also cat safe. In spite of his past life, he is a gentle soul and he loves to be everywhere you are. Jed is doing GREAT in foster care, eating very well, taking his meds, being a very good boy in his crate overnight and hanging out with his foster buddies outside. My hope is to find a loving foster to adopt home in the Chicago area to help with our heartworm slow-kill program.
