Story
Who is this handsome old man? It’s Honcho! He’s the sweetest senior pup you’ll ever meet. Honcho does have a special diet due to a chicken allergy, so his future family will need to be mindful of treats and snacks to make sure they’re chicken-free to avoid upsetting his stomach. But don’t let that fool you — this big couch potato still has a healthy appetite and plenty of love to give! Honcho may be older, but he still has a little puppy energy left in him. He loves attention, affection, and giving his signature big smile to everyone he meets. On walks, Honcho likes to take things at his own relaxed pace, so be ready to embrace his charming old-man energy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who enjoys cuddles, leisurely strolls, and lots of love, Honcho is your guy! Honcho is currently spending some decompression time in foster! Interested in adopting? Please fill out an application at this link (https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Dog) and please specify the animal's name and ID number (if the ID number is not entered, we may mix up the animal you're interested in!) A staff member will reach out to you asap to discuss your application.

Story
Meet Bree! This beautiful senior came to us when her previous family was facing financial hardship. Bree is a sweet elder who knows who she is and what she likes. Bree is very affectionate with people and has been passive towards other dogs she watches in the shelter. Bree is a strong woman who you would hardly believe is ten years old. Since she is an older lady, however, Bree is dealing with some arthritis and the need for dental work, making her one of our Special Care pets. But Bree wants to assure her potential adopters that she is as strong as ever! Think you could be Bree's perfect match? If you're interested in Bree, swing by our downtown Chicago adoption center at 510 N. LaSalle, to meet this sweetheart and their friends in person. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the process from start to finish! Learn more about hours and the adoption process at https://anticruelty.org/adopt-info.

Story
Meet this incredible survivor! Found in Tipton County, this sweet boy was skin and bones, hairless, and overlooked by so many. We couldn’t leave him behind, and he’s come so far—from 17 to 36 lbs! With love, warmth, and plenty of food, his personality has blossomed. He adores other dogs, all people, his crate, and especially toys and sweaters. He’s house-trained, food-motivated, and ready for his forever home. Could it be with you? Once adopted he will travel via the Rescue Transport to his new family. They travel every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this cutie part of your family please follow the link below to our adoption application. Our turnaround time is typically less than 24 hours so please be prepared before you submit your application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Meet Pepper! After spending a few years with a loving family, Pepper sadly lost her housing. In the shelter, Pepper was a bit too shy to come out of her shell. She lucked out with foster placement where we've seen her personality truly shine. Here's what Pepper's foster has to say about her: "This dog is truly one of a kind. She is sweet, loving, gentle and just wants to be invited to the party. Pepper’s favorite thing is being near her people. If you move rooms, she follows. If you sit down, she quietly leans in like she has always been part of the family. She connects quickly and genuinely with the people she meets, and her gentle nature shows right away. She is medium sized with a short low shed coat and soft, expressive eyes, incredibly sweet and remarkably gentle. She loves people and warms up quickly to new ones. She takes cues very well and responds nicely to direction. She already knows sit, stay, and give paw, and she is eager to please. One of the nicest things we learned about Pepper during foster, is how well she matches the energy around her. If it is playtime, she is excited and ready to go. Toss a ball or grab a rope toy and she is all in. If the house is calm, she settles right along with it and relaxes nearby. She is fully potty trained and crate trained. When she is ready to rest, she walks right into her crate on her own and settles comfortably. On walks she does well and enjoys getting out to explore. Pepper has also been wonderful with the other dogs she has met so far. She is a curious little thing that sniffs everything and will try different foods - has not met a food she dislikes yet! Pepper would do beautifully with someone who wants a dog that is affectionate, responsive, playful, and calm when it is time to unwind. An individual or a family - she is just happy to be invited to the party. If you are looking for a loyal dog who will bond quickly and bring warmth into your home, Pepper is the dog you have been waiting for." Pepper is hoping that her next home will be forever. Interested in adopting? Fill out an application at this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Dog Make sure to include her name and ID number in the application. A staff member will reach out to you shortly about setting up a meet and greet.

Story
Meet Jake! Jake came into our care when his owners could no longer care for him, but he is ready for his forever home! When Jake initially came into our care he was very shy and unsure of us, but with some TLC and patience, Jake has blossomed into a social dog that loves to be by people. He would love to go to a home where he can have time to decompress and people to call his own. In his previous home, his owners had mentioned that he may struggle with separation anxiety as well as , so Jake would benefit from a home where they can provide continued support for him with providing various stimulating enrichment as well as providing continued training so that Jake can be the very best dog he can be! Jake is considered to be one of our special care adoptions due to being heartworm positive, so he would need to go to a home that help him limit activity for the next couple of months to ensure that his treatment can do its job! If you're interested in Jake, swing by our downtown Chicago adoption center at 510 N. LaSalle, to meet these sweethearts in person. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the process from start to finish! Learn more about hours and the adoption process at https://anticruelty.org/adopt-info.

Story
Meet Itty Bitty 💕Don’t let her name fool you—this little girl has a big heart just waiting to shine. Itty Bitty is a sweet, gentle pup who can be a bit shy at first, but with a little patience (and a few tasty treats!), she quickly starts to come out of her shell. Treats are definitely the way to her heart, and they help her build trust and confidence with her people. She has experience living in a busy home with children and multiple dogs, so she understands the rhythm of a family environment. That said, because of her sensitive nature, she would do best in a home with kids aged 6 and up who can respect her space and help her feel safe as she settles in. If you're interested in Itty Bitty, swing by our downtown Chicago adoption center at 510 N. LaSalle, to meet these sweethearts in person. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the process from start to finish! Learn more about hours and the adoption process at https://anticruelty.org/adopt-info.
