Billy is waiting to meet you! 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. If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius. 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. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners. The adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue) Microchip Rabies vaccine DHPP vaccine Bordetella vaccine 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease) General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. Spay/Neuter Policy: We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breeds projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as 16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure. Interested in Adopting? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt

Lizzo

Border Collie

Female, 2 yrs 6 mos
Warrenville, IL
Size

Story
Sweet Lizzo is a 3 year old female border collie mix whose gentle spirit and quiet loyalty make her an ideal companion for someone seeking a soulful bond. She is about 30 lbs. She may be initially shy, but don’t let that fool you, this special girl is incredibly intelligent and forms deep, lasting connections with people once she feels safe. Lizzo is incredibly dog friendly and no matter what the size or temperament of other dogs, she fits in well with them. Once she settles in, she loves playing chase with other dogs. She enjoys both being chased and chasing other dogs. Lizzo is incredibly fast and agile and this is a great way for her and other dogs to expend some energy. It's quite special to watch! It's apparent that Lizzo has been through some not so great times in her life. She is very timid and skittish with new people and just needs time to adjust to new things. She will often choose the quiet comfort of the indoors, curling up calmly on the couch with humans or dogs. You will also find her gathering toys and bones to play with or chew on. She’s not the goofy, high-energy type. Instead, Lizzo is your classic calm companion, the kind of dog who prefers connection over chaos and will happily be your couch buddy after a long day. She gets along well with other dogs but thrives in a peaceful home where she can feel secure and truly bond with her person. She’s a quiet listener, a steady presence, and a loyal heart just waiting to belong. Ready to welcome a truly special girl into your home? Lizzo may be your perfect match. Lizzo is available to adopt in the Chicagoland area and is being fostered in a home. Appointments to visit her will be set up for approved adopters only. Adoption fee is $300.00 which includes all appropriate vaccines, and she is spayed and microchipped. Lizzo would do best in a home with children 10 years old and up.

Story
Maggie given a little time to warm up to strangers, she is sweet and grateful. She is timid and shy at first but bonds quickly to human caregivers and will chose mellow male dogs for playmates. Maggie growls to let other dogs know she’s overwhelmed and ask for space. She is fostered around kids and cats but ignores them. She’s estimated to be 6 yrs old, a mixed breed - Healthy - Spayed and Heartworm treated - She’s looking for the simple life, a yard and patience while she learns her environment. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee includes fee by van transport to PNW, Midwest or NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT states by pet transport partners. Email with Questions or for Adoption Application - Adopt@CaffeinatedCanineRescueTx.org Adoption Application LINK: https://forms.gle/33ciYyXPTL18FfnV6 --------------------------------------------------- See more Photos, Videos and Updates on Social Media Facebook.com/CaffeinatedCanineRescueTX Instagram @CaffeinatedCanineRescue --------------------------------------------------- Maggie was abandoned and very confused when her elderly owner was no longer able to care for her - a local family recognized her and brought her home, give her a chance to trust-relax and BLOOM. Maggie has been fostered by a retired couple who gave her time to decompress (low stimuli activities, routine with crate time and regular meals). She has started field trips with rescue volunteers to new places. She is painfully shy but warms up within an hour to new people and comes for petting and affection.
