Story
Maximus is a handsome little guy who loves to wave his long Fabio hair around! He was born with a micro eye and is blind in one eye. He may see things a little different, but he’s a nice little guy looking for a home that appreciates dogs who look a little different!

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

Happy, sweet, likes everyone he meets. Housebroken. Has great energy, love to play. Walks good on a leash. Does well on car rides. Gets along well with all the dogs he has met. Big and small. We have not tried him with cats but based on his behavior he should do well with a dog savvy cat!
