Story
🐾 Meet Polly — The Cutest Pocket Pittie! 💕 Polly is a 3-year-old pocket-sized Pittie with the sweetest soul and a whole lot of love to give. She may be little, but this girl has a BIG heart! Polly is sweet, cuddly, and adventurous, and she is happiest when she is spending time with her people. Her perfect day? Give her some chew toys, let her have a little playtime, and then settle in for cuddles and a good nap. Honestly, Polly has mastered the art of living her best life. 🥰 Polly has a medium energy level. She enjoys playing and exploring, but she also knows how to relax. She absolutely loves her stuffies and chew toys—and apparently, shoes are pretty fantastic too! 👟😂 So her forever family should be prepared to keep those tempting treasures out of reach. What Polly really wants is something she may not have had enough of in her past: her people. She loves attention and affection, and you can tell that having someone to love and be loved by means everything to her. Her foster family would love to see her go to someone who has time to spend with her and will show her just how wonderful it is to be part of a family. Polly does wonderfully with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine friend. She enjoys a playful home and would especially love a fenced yard where she can safely explore and enjoy some outdoor time. When Polly first meets someone or enters a new environment, she can be a little nervous, but she warms up quickly. Once she realizes she's safe, her sweet personality comes shining through. She does well with children 10 and older. Polly is crate trained and does well when left alone. She should continue to be crated when unsupervised. She is still working on potty training and leash skills, so her new family will need to be patient and consistent as she learns. She knows her name and “sit” and is eager to keep learning. And when it comes to toys or food, Polly has no resource-guarding issues. She is simply a happy girl who wants to enjoy her toys and be near her people. ❤️ Polly's Favorite Things: 🧸 Stuffies 🦴 Chew toys 💕 Cuddles 😴 Naps 🐶 Playing with other dogs 🌳 Exploring 👟 Apparently… shoes! 😂 Polly is spayed and on monthly preventative. Her foster family says it best: “She is the absolute best dog I have ever met, given her history. I love her and I hope someone else can too.” And we hope so too. ❤️ Polly has so much love left to give. She just needs someone who will give her the time, patience, affection, and stability she deserves. If you're looking for a sweet little companion who wants nothing more than to be loved and included, Polly may be the perfect girl for you. This little pocket Pittie is ready for her forever people. 🐾💕 Apply to adopt at: https://www.woofanimalrescue.org/adopt 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. 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.

Story
Hi! My name is Fergie. I'm just a big ole love bug! Yup! That's me! I'm a 1-1/2 year-old, Boxer Bully mix with reddish color fur, a white splotch on my face and around my neck down my chest, four white paws, a paintbrush tail with a white tip, and a pink muzzle. Even though I'm around 50 pounds, I believe I am definitely a lapdog. I'm very sweet and gentle, and I just love people!  I love running around the yard, playing with my canine siblings and human kiddos, and chewing bones. But....my favorite activity is cuddling with humans on the couch! Oh, and I love napping and treats too. I do well walking on a leash, am crate trained, and am housebroken. By the way, my foster Mom says I am also a good watch dog because I bark when there is someone or something outside. I sleep well at night with no accidents and go in my crate on command during the day while my foster mom's at work. I love sleeping on the bed curled up with my canine sisters and humans.  So a really cool thing is that I am learning how to ring a bell to let my foster Mom know I need to go outside. I already know sit and I'm working on the command off. Off is a little hard for me, because I get so excited when I meet someone new, but I almost have it down. I'm pretty good at coming when I'm called too, but sometimes I get distracted. Would you like to share a forever home with lots of cuddles and sloppy dog kisses? Then, I'm your girl! I hope I get to meet you soon! Because Fergie-Faye does great with other dogs of many sizes, we are seeking an adopter with another playful dog in the home. Fergie has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, been tested for diseases, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped; she is housebroken and crate trained. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST from acaringplace@comcast.net. 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.     September 19, 2026, 3:56 pm

This is Mya (My Girl but we changed it). She is really sweet but needs a home with a yard. We also have 4 other dogs! We came across Mya when her owner passed away. After that she was in ancage all day so she wants to play :) Lots of energy! She gets along great with my small dogs and acts like a mom to them. It is sweet. She is careful not to step on them and tries to keep the other little ones straight. She had it rough being passed around after her owners death and really needs a permanent home and owners who care for her. She doesn’t seem too needy but since she didn’t get out before she wants to go everywhere so she needs a fenced yard.

Meet Lily! Lily is one of those special dogs who will melt your heart with her loving gaze. After surviving long months in a high-kill shelter, including a flood, she was finally rescued and is ready for the forever home she deserves. Lily is loving, affectionate, and happy spending time with everyone. Her cuddles have a way of making the stresses of the day melt away. She would make a wonderful companion for a person or family looking for a loyal best friend who will happily soak up your love and attention. Her beautiful brindle coat is reminiscent of a little tiger, and her white paws look like she's wearing socks — long ones in the front and short ones in the back. Lily is doing well with going potty outside and walks well on a leash. She is curious about people food but gives up fast when told no. She is working on commands and is a quick learner. After everything she has been through, Lily deserves a family who will show her what forever really means. Adopt Lily and she will repay you with a lifetime of unconditional love, loyalty, and cuddles. Lily is a good mix of energetic but chill. And is happy to run around doing zoomies. Or sitting nice looking out people watching. (At the shelter Lily was not a fan of cats so belongs in a cat-free home.)This dog is good with people and other dogs. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Meet Rudy 💙 Rudy is 5-6 years old and is a deeply affectionate, people-loving boy who thrives on closeness with his humans. He loves cuddling, being petted, and will happily sleep next to you at night. Wherever you go, Rudy is likely to follow — often carrying his favorite soothing toy in his mouth for comfort. He is good with other dogs, big and small. He is also good with little kids. Rudy knows basic commands and is fully housebroken, which makes settling into a new home much easier. He enjoys playtime, especially tug-of-war, and he takes his toy destruction job very seriously (squeaker toys beware!). He walks well on leash and does best wearing a harness, ideally a front-clip harness. He may pull a little and can bark when he sees people out on walks, but he recovers quickly and continues on. This behavior appears to be excitement or uncertainty rather than aggression, and with consistency, patience, and positive training, it continues to improve. Rudy is not a fan of being confined away from his people. He will voluntarily rest in his crate when it’s open and his human is nearby, but being crated while left alone is stressful for him. He would do best in a home that understands this and is willing to help him gradually build confidence with alone time. With stability, routine, and love, Rudy truly shines. He is a cuddly, loyal companion who bonds deeply and brings a lot of joy to those around him. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will help him continue to grow into the amazing dog he already is. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
