Story
Pal's Place has three of the sweetest, most adorable, and lovable little nuggets in town, all looking for loving forever families. These precious little guys were rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky and are now in a loving foster home in Chicago, waiting to meet their forever families. Their mother is a purebred Boston Terrier; their father is unknown, but the family that surrendered the puppies mentioned a neighbor's Cattledog mix was the suspected father. The puppies were born the second week in January, and at 3 months old (4/5), they weigh between 8 and 10 pounds. Given their current age and size, we expect a mature size of roughly 35 pounds- a fantastic medium size! All three puppies are curious, energetic, social, and happy, making great companions for active families who have the time and patience to raise, train, socialize, and exercise them. Puppies are undoubtedly adorable and fun, but require a great deal of time and attention during their first several months. Please remember that puppies this age need frequent potty breaks (every 3-4 hours or so) and lots of playtime, engagement, and mental stimulation throughout the day, so please consider if you truly have the time for a puppy before applying. The adoption fee to the rescue is $475 per puppy. They are neutered, up-to-date with age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and are started on flea and heartworm preventatives. • The cheese litter is fostered in Chicago, and meetings can be scheduled by appointment only after an adoption application has been completed and approved. The adoption fee per puppy to the rescue is $475. This fee helps to cover their neuterings, initial vaccines, microchips, and other care needs. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for any reason. Please do not submit an adoption application unless you are ready to meet and welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. We respond to inquiries, questions, and applications by email. We are a volunteer-run organization and strive to respond to all inquiries within 24-48 hours, though we may occasionally take longer. Correspondence from the rescue may end up in your spam or junk folder. If you are awaiting a reply, please check those folders regularly. For more information or to receive an application, email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit palsplacerescue.org

Story
I am 31 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Jubilee is the kind of dog who always looks like she’s smiling—her big, happy grin is impossible to miss and even harder to resist. She’s a volunteer favorite for a reason, winning hearts with her joyful personality and loving nature. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would be happy to have a furry friend, but she’s just as content soaking up attention from her people. Whether you’re looking for a cuddle buddy to relax with or a running partner to keep up with your active lifestyle, Jubilee is ready for it all. If you’re looking for a dog who brings constant happiness and companionship, Jubilee might just be your perfect match.

All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended.
