She was found bopping around town with her buddy Kibbles and was brought into animal control as a stray. No one ever came for Kibbles or Bits, so we were happy to welcome the girls into our program! Bits has a darling personality and is a happy, social gal. She’s good with other dogs, quiet and well-mannered in her kennel, walks nicely on leash, and is going to be an awesome BFF.

Story
Ashley Spayed Female 2 years old 18lbs Breed Guess: Cairn Terrier / Shih Tzu Ashley is a docile, loving little lady who was brought to animal control as a stray with her sister Mary Kate. When we met her, she has clearly given birth recently, but her puppies were not with her. As a result, we’ve been giving her SO much love to make sure she knows she’s safe and everything will be ok. She’s very good with people and other dogs. She starts off a bit timid and unsure, but warms up so sweetly with love and encouragement. She will be so happy to be out of the shelter and in a loving home of her own.

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
I am 18 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $400 Meet Chuck! This very handsome Cairn Terrier/Yorkie mix is seeking his forever home—and a cozy spot to spend his golden years. Chuck came to AHS after his beloved owner sadly passed away, and now he’s hoping to find a new family to shower with love. Chuck is a big fan of car rides (especially if they end at the vet—what a brave boy!) and considers the couch his favorite napping destination. He’s house- and crate-trained, and when it’s time to head outside, he’ll hop right by the door to let you know he’s ready for a potty break. Smart and stylish, Chuck even knows the adorable command “sit pretty!” This sweet guy is a pro at bath time, ear cleanings, and strolls around the neighborhood. He’d do best in a home with children ages 12 and up who will respect his cherished toys and treasures. If you’re searching for a handsome, loving companion to fill your home with warmth and tail wags, Chuck just might be your perfect match—at least Chuck sure hopes so! All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age-appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Story
Meet “Broken” Terry — Our Little Survivor Terry is a 10-lb, 1-year-old Cairn Terrier who has already been through more than any young pup should. He was found as a stray with a broken front foot and taken to a shelter, where sadly he was never reclaimed. Thankfully, he made his way to rescue, and his leg has now been surgically repaired. He’s on the road to recovery and doing well. This brave little guy is incredibly sweet and gentle. When his body recovers, he'll be ready for his forever home. Terry is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped.
