Story
SPECIAL NEEDS: Partially blind due to Glaucoma .   This special girl is Ellie, a senior Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix, who weighs around 9-10 pounds. Ellis is around 10 years old; she is very loving and is an absolute sweetheart. Ellie lives in a foster home with a couple smaller dogs and two large dogs. Her foster mom considers Ellie to be a “low maintenance” dog. She is a homebody because she does not like going for walks or going on adventures. She enjoys the opportunity to be in the yard so she can walk around and sniff out the critters. Ellie really loves her foster mom and the young teen kids in the home so she will seek out time for some belly rubs and pets.    Because Ellie is frightened of most adult men we are seeking to place her into a female household. Ellie is comfortable living with other small to medium sized dogs but isn’t into playing with them; she prefers napping and hanging out.    While in foster care, Ellie was diagnosed with Glaucoma and lost sight in one of her eyes; she receives daily eye drops for the condition. The medication has worked well and the eye pressure has been in the normal range for over three months now. Ellie has been examined by licensed veterinarians, been provided vaccines, been dewormed, tested for diseases, spayed, and microchipped. Our online application is not functioning currently; therefore ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.   We apologize for the inconvenience. A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area. All dogs and puppies live in foster homes, providing you as the adopter, with information on the animal's behaviors, needs, and requirements. We are always in search of fosters care providers. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.     March 26, 2025, 4:22 pm

Story
Born 2/26/24, I landed up in a shelter because no one wanted me. Several homes with excuses that she was pregnant and could no longer have me, the older dog did not like me, had no time for me and the last was "Not Wanted" made my friends in Tenn decide to send me North where I could become a 4ever pet. I only weigh in at 32 lbs so don't take up much space. I do get along with other dogs but a little shy with humans until I get to know them. If you would like to meet me, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPLICATION on the website of www.4Paws4U4Ever.com under How to Adopt. Here is hoping that you will be the one 4ever.

Story
Woof, woof! Is it my turn to go out? Yes it is, yeah! While I may be a little excited at first, I quickly calm down to show off the cool toys I get here. I bask in all the loving and petting I get. What a great time I have when I am out and about with people. Hope that this will soon be with my family. What do you say? I also get along great with other doggies so wouldn’t mind having a canine sibling…maybe even with Lynx or Minx. Don’t forget that the second adoption fee is 50% off for Double the Love, Double the Fun!

Story
I’m kind of like John Lennon, I believe in a world of peace and love. I am a friendly little doggie, always excited to make new friends with both people and dogs. With my sister Febe, we always enjoyed the simple pleasures of life with our guardian. While I am vision impaired, I do everything like any dog. Sadly our guardian passed away. It was difficult but we still had each other. So if you are looking for a couple of gentle dogs with wagging tails and ready to love you unconditionally, then we may be the perfect match. Since we must get adopted together, one adoption fee will get you twice the love!

These pups are in Chicago, Illinois too!
