Story

SPECIAL NEEDS This special girl is Ellie, a senior Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix, who weighs around 9-10 pounds. Ellis is around 10-11 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. In addition, she eats a prescription food for her kidneys. 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.

Story

Sarah the Pug Chihuahua mix Hi, my name is Sarah and I have quite a story to tell for one so young. I am only a year or so old, but had some bad things happen already. First off, I was picked up by animal control in a neighboring town, but that wasn’t the worst part. They were pretty nice, and they noticed that I couldn’t use one of my back legs. My left one to be precise. Anyhow, I was given to God’s Dogs Rescue and my foster mom took me to the dog-tor to get some x-rays to see what was going on. That wasn’t very much fun because they found that I had a broken pelvis from side to side and front to back. And if that wasn’t enough, I had my left leg out of the hip socket. It appeared that I and a vehicle of some sort had a disagreement, and I lost! What a bummer! I spent the next month being confined and on pain meds to see if my broken pelvis would heal. And it healed very nicely, thank heavens. Then, I saw the dog-tor again and they did surgery to fix my left hip so that I could be able to walk on all fours again. I was put back on restrictions for another month, waiting for this to heal. FINALLY!! I have been released by the dog-tor to look for my furever home!! I am fully healed, and everything works as it should. Because of all the restrictions, I am a little shy with people, because I have had a lot of pain dealing with people recently, and I am getting used to being touched without being poked or prodded or given meds, etc. So please give me a little time. I get along well with other dogs and even cats. I have been potty trained to puppy pads during my confinements but now love to go outside to do the deed. I am not fully trained to go outside yet but I am getting there. If you have a little buddy for me to play with, all the better! I am learning how to walk with a harness and a leash and that is interesting so far. I seem to do more hiding and running than walking like I should, but at 6 pounds, it is easier for foster mom to carry me and that is not so bad. If you can give me a furever home, I am ready! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

do you SEE my face??? I am the MOST adorable frenchie around!! do you know my personality??? I am the MOST adorable and naughty frenchie around!! do you see my feet?? You will see them when you fall HEAD OVER HEELS for me ;) Now, I am a young boy and a SOLID boy at about 34# of head and muscle :) I was with a family who didn't know how to train me to be the dog they always wanted, so I ended up back at the breeder. NOW I am ready for my furever home! You must have breed knowledge, I am an active and somewhat naughty boy- so you need to work with me to settle down when being introduced to new dogs or people. I also need a safe and very loving family because I will thrive in that kind of family. No small children because my doggy manners are not tuned up yet and I can be nippy when excited. I want nothing more than to have my own couch to potato on and my own family to grow with!! ADOPT ME SOON!!! Local adoption fee is $500 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $850 (includes transport to your area)
