Story
Piper has been with us since she was about 6 weeks old and the decision to rehome her is not made lightly. She is young at heart and loves to baby her little stuffed toys. She loves to play fetch once she’s actually ready to give you her toy (no take, only throw, lol). She loves to be petted and she’s a great cuddles. She would do best in a home that doesn’t have small children though as she doesn’t care to have my 2 year old granddaughter around. She is housebroken and doggie door trained. Looking to find her a good, loving home as soon as possible.

Story
Say hello to Kahlua! Kahlua just turned one year old in October 2024. He has been through a lot in his little life. He, along with four other dogs, were abandoned in a kennel in a parking lot late at night. All five dogs have made progress with their people socialization, to varying degrees. We feel Kahlua is finally ready to start the search for his forever home, provided they are patient and loving, and willing to give him the time he needs to fully blossom. Kahlua will bark and avoid when first meeting you. If you reach for him too fast, he will nip. Because of this, we feel he needs to go to an adult-only home. We have noticed he tends to bond more with females than males. At rescue, Kahlua will zoom up to those he knows and trusts, seeking out attention and pets, and giving a quick kiss lick on the cheek before zooming off. He is social with the other dogs, and loves to run and play, and explore the play yard. Kahlua did spend about a week in foster, but didn't warm up to the male in the home. He loved the human female though, and showed what a fun and puppy-like personality he can have when he is comfortable. In his foster home, Kahlua discovered the joy of toys (especially flipping them up in the air and dragging them all over the house). He also discovered his own reflection in the mirror (haha) and per his foster mom, "there isn't a reflection of himself he has seen that he doesn't like". He would jump on her for pets and kisses, just like he does for those at rescue whom he knows and trusts. Kahlua will take time and patience to fully get comfortable in a new environment. He will need help with things like potty training and leash training. If you think you have what Kahlua needs to fully blossom, send us an email to chitownrescue@gmail.com. Kahlua is approximately one-year-old, and weighs around 15 pounds. His adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, Rabies certificate, and microchip.March 7, 2026, 10:48 pm

Story
Meet Wiley! Wiley is named for his wiley ability to avoid the humans when he was running around the streets. We'll get to that story in a bit, but first we want to tell you what a shy sweetheart this guy is. Wiley is an approximately five-year-old Chihuahua mix (heavy on the mix!), weighing around 17 pounds. He is initially very nervous and avoidant with new people. Wiley has spent some time in a foster home and is doing amazing so far in a home setting, with a little time and patience. His foster mom says Wiley loves cuddling up in blankets and has even joined them for some cuddles in bed, recently. We feel Wiley would do best in a relatively quiet home with no children, and at least one other dog to show him the ropes. He thrives with routine, and as a part of a pack! Wiley needs a home setting (no apartments) with a secure fence/backyard and grass area, so his special paw doesn't get hurt on gravel. Wiley loves to sunbathe in the grass, and although he has a "bum" leg, he sure can move when he wants to! Wiley's foster mom says, "he is a sensitive soul that warms up quickly and makes every little bit of affection that much sweeter". A little more about Wiley's past: Wiley was humanely trapped while spotted as a stray; this was definitely not his first rodeo with the trap, and he avoided it for a bit until he was brought to safety off the streets. From there, Chi Town Rescue stepped in to take care of Wiley. You will have noticed Wiley's leg by now; this is a chronic condition and he has seen a specialist regarding treatment. Wiley has an old (and unknown) injury to that leg, that healed wrong. He has been walking like this for quite awhile and has adapted well. The specialists believe that Wiley has nerve damage in this leg and surgery to attempt a repair would not be successful. For now, the specialists believe that leaving Wiley's leg as-is, is the best course of action. If it starts to bother him at some point down the road, he may require amputation. His future family should be aware of this possibility and willing to provide Wiley with any necessary medical treatment in the future. Wiley would love to meet you! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with his foster mom for a meet and greet. A home check is required prior to adopting Wiley. Wiley is  neutered, has a microchip and is current on vaccines. March 7, 2026, 10:48 pm

Story
Meet Uno! Uno came to Chi Town Rescue as part of a hoarding situation and is now looking for his furever home, or a foster home. Uno enjoys playing with his kennel mate Utah and the other dogs at rescue, however he does not like large dogs. Uno likes to play with toys and will fetch the tennis ball when he's out in the play yard, then run off with it (he's a bit of a toy hoarder). He also likes his kennel and doesn't mind chilling out when he's done playing for the day. Uno is evasive with people when he initially meets them. He will bark at you to warn you away, but trust us when we say that Uno is more scared of YOU than you are of him. Uno has really blossomed during his time at rescue. He loves being pet by those he knows. He will prance up to you and give you little love nibbles while he dances around you. Uno doesn't like to be held for more than a few seconds, and he has not yet learned the leash. He will need a home with an experienced owner that will be patient and willing to give him time to build trust and work on socializing him. He will also need a home with no small children, and a secure fenced yard. Uno does have a “micro” eye but it's nothing that affects him or his health.  Uno is approximately four-years-old, is neutered, has a microchip and current vaccines. If you think Uno would be a good fit in your home, please contact Chi Town Rescue to make an appointment to meet him. He would love to go home soon! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for a meet and greet appointment.March 7, 2026, 10:48 pm

Story
Say hello to Zach! Zach is one of our very special longtimer PROJECT DOGS who is looking for a family that is just as special as he is. After two years, we finally feel that Zach is ready to officially start the search for his forever family. Zach is approximately three-years-old. He came in to Chi Town Rescue August 2024, with 10 other dogs as part of a hoarding case in Concho, Arizona. All the dogs were fearful/unsocialized to varying degrees and three (including Zach) are still with us at rescue. Zach has made great progress during the time he has been at rescue, and even recently started seeking out pets from his trusted volunteer friends! His favorite place to be pet is the side of his face/chin and he will lean into our hands (and melt our hearts). Zach is very social with other dogs and has always enjoyed zooming and playing with his dog pals. He has a fun energy level and enjoys toys and the play pool also. Zach MUST go to a home with at least one other playful dog, as his greatest joy in life is play time with his pals. Zach also needs to go to a home experienced with fearful dogs, and with no small children. Zach would do best in a home (no apartments) with access to a secure and fenced yard, as he is not leash-trained. If you have room in your home and heart to help a dog as special as Zach, please email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com! September 5, 2026, 7:58 pm
