Story
Meet Thistle! 🐾 Thistle is a 4-month-old Border Collie mix (best guess) weighing 17 lbs. This sweet and playful girl has the perfect mix of puppy fun and affectionate cuddles. Thistle loves following her people around, snuggling on the couch, and playing in the yard with other dogs. She especially enjoys chasing a ball, exploring outside, and digging through the toy bin to find her favorite soft toys and Nylabones. She has a medium energy level and would love a home where she can play, learn, and be included in family life. A fenced yard would be wonderful, but not required. She would likely do great with another playful dog, though she could also be happy as an only dog with plenty of attention. Thistle is crate trained and sleeps through the night. She is working on house training and making progress every day. She already knows sit, comes when called, and is a very smart puppy who learns quickly. She is great with other dogs, loves meeting new people, and has done well with elementary-aged children and older. She has not been around cats in foster care, but may do well with a dog-friendly cat. Thistle was found as a stray and came into rescue underweight, but she is thriving now and gaining weight beautifully with proper nutrition and care. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, playful puppy to grow with your family, Thistle may be the perfect match! If you're interested in meeting, please fill out the application below! https://www.woofanimalrescue.org/adopt This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason. Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval. Breed and Age Information: Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Capitan is the sweetest little boy.  Well not super little, he is probably around 25-30 pounds now and will most likely get a little bigger.  We are unsure of his breed, he looks like he has border collie in him but probably also some terrier, maybe lab, his coloring suggests dalmatian.  He is amazing with other dogs and kids, loves to snuggle.  We are not sure how he would be with cats in his home but at our events he doesn't even seem to notice them so he probably won't care.  He is working on potty training but is crate trained and does pretty well on a leash.  He loves the water and mud so heads up.  One thing you need to know...he is deaf, and mostly blind, he lost one eye (congenital issue and it was removed), the other eye is not great either.  We think he can see shadows because he navigates his surroundings just fine, even when he is in a new place.  He would benefit from someone who has experience with a deaf and blind dog as training is difficult since he can't hear.  But he is so easy going he would be fine as long as his people do their research and learn with him.  Otherwise he is healthy, he is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Capitan, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 10:58 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 Noah &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 Noah is a 6-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix… and 100% lovable goofball. This fuzzy little lovebug is eager to please and just waiting for his forever person or family to choose him. What’s he like? Great with other dogs and loves to play. Equal parts Velcro pup and independent entertainer — he’ll happily dig through the toy basket and keep himself busy. Knows not to chew furniture or shoes, though socks and dryer sheets are his weakness (he’ll drop them when asked!). Can get overstimulated in chaotic environments and prefers slow introductions. He may take a minute to warm up, but he’s worth the wait. Once he trusts you, he is the sweetest snuggle bug who just wants to be close to his person. What can he do? Kennel trained (sleeps through the night and goes in on command). Fully potty trained with subtle but clear cues. Excellent in the car — calm, comfy, and observant. Recently graduated a 10-day obedience program! He knows “wait,” “place,” “come,” “heel,” loose-leash walking, and more. His perfect match? &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Someone committed to continuing his training and staying consistent. &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 A confident, dog-savvy adopter who can guide him and help build his confidence.

Story
This is Eros! He is around 8-9 years old! He weighs about 28 pounds at the current time. The reason we are rehoming him is due to some behavioral issues with house training. He’s always had this issue since we originally adopted him back in 2020. Originally this wasn’t a major issue and my husband and I were able to handle this issue pretty decently. However, I became pregnant in October of this past year and his issues have just seemed to gotten out of hand. No matter how much we scheduled his water intake, or how much of schedule he was on when my husband and I were home from work, he just couldn’t seem to hold it in. As of 2022 he had no Cushings disease or diabetes, but it wouldn’t hurt to get him tested again. My husband and I wanted so badly for him to get better but with my preeclampsia and the amount of stress this puts on me, and for the baby’s sake, it is not a healthy fit for us anymore. It breaks our hearts and was the last thing we wanted to do. We are about 80% sure he has some slight separation anxiety as I use to work from home until around March 2025 last year. He is usually home alone around 5-8 hours and is a hit or miss with soiling his crate. He was good at my parents home that had no yard but not 100% trust worthy to leave unattended. I would definitely recommend a fenced yard but he is alright with one that’s not fenced in. He is good with cats and other dogs. He is a little timid around men, (and new people in general ) but he will warm up. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $150. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
