Story
This cutie is KIMBO, a male, Cairn Terrier/Chihuahua mix, who is around 4-5 years old and weighing around 20 pounds. He has a rough/wiry coat that just needs routine brushing. Kimbo is a sensitive dog who needs time to adjust to his new surroundings and people, so a patient and understanding adopter is a must for him. He is a very sweet, shy dog who is great with other small dogs and enjoys playing with them for hours. When he’s done playing, he loves to nap on his foster mom’s lap. Kimbo lives easily in a foster home with two teenagers and his foster mom and a few dogs; we have learned he is frightened of most men, loud noises, and sudden movements. Therefore, we are seeking a calm, adult or adult with teen(s) household, another small, playful dog with whom he can buddy, and a securely fenced yard.  Kimbo enjoys going for shorter walks and will benefit from continued leash training since he pulls on his leash due to excitement; it appears he wasn’t taken for walks prior to rescue. Kimbo is crated when people leave the home and at night, which he accepts easily. He is housebroken when taken out on a schedule.  He is uncomfortable meeting new people so he is not a dog that would do well with an adopter who wants to have a dog who goes out and meets people at events, restaurants, etc.  This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, provided vaccines, been dewormed, tested for diseases, neutered, 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.     August 24, 2025, 6:10 pm

Story
Scruffy is a young terrier mix puppy who came into our care just before the holidays, through no fault of his own, and he’s still trying to understand why his world suddenly changed. Like any puppy, Scruffy is full of playful energy, curiosity, and affection, and he’s eager to learn what it means to be part of a loving family. He will need patience, guidance, and positive training as he grows, but his sweet nature and joyful spirit make him a wonderful blank slate for someone ready to invest the time and love a puppy deserves. Scruffy is ready to trade the uncertainty of rescue life for a home where he can feel safe, adored, and supported as he grows into the amazing companion he’s meant to be.

Story
Blanco is a 4-year-old Westie x Yorkie mix who has spent far too long being passed from one family member to another, never given the chance to feel truly settled or loved for life. Despite all the instability he’s known, Blanco remains a gentle, affectionate little soul who longs for consistency and a guardian who will finally commit to him. He would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can bond deeply and know he will never be uprooted again. Blanco deserves a forever family who will cherish him, provide stability, and give him the loving home he has always deserved.
