Story
Gary is a 1-year-old, 12-pound Cairn Terrier mix with a sweet, gentle, and very easygoing personality. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs. While he hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, his foster believes he would likely do well because he’s such a gentle-natured little guy. He loves being close to his person and isn’t a fan of the crate — he would much rather be near his humans. Gary was found wandering as a stray with a collar that had been placed on him when he was just a tiny puppy — and never loosened. By the time he was rescued, the collar had become deeply embedded in his neck and required surgery to remove. Today, Gary is fully healed and ready for his forever home. He’s almost house-trained and would thrive with someone who has the time and patience to continue basic training. He would especially love a fenced yard, a canine friend, and an adopter who will include him in their adventures. Gary is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and heartworm negative. After everything he’s survived, Gary remains a content, easygoing dog who truly deserves the very best. If interested, please apply here: https://tinyurl.com/4u3tuy5c -Due to the high volume of applications, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet. If selected, we require a phone interview, virtual house check, and meet and greet with your entire family.

Cairn Terrier Chihuahua

Male, Adult
Westmont, IL
Size

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
