Story

Bruno is a beautiful chocolate lab (likely mixed but never tested her). She's a wonderful, almost 5-year-old dog... and yes, she. Bruno was named before we met her, and we never changed it. We've had her since she was about 3 months old. She's always been extremely sweet, gentle, loving, and playful. She's healthy, obedient, and trustworthy. She LOVES cuddles and PLAY. Bruno never barks at other dogs (even when they bark and growl at her) and never at people. She will bark at noises on the other side of a closed door. She is obedient off-leash and will not attempt to run into the street. She never gets into trash or destroys items (other than dog beds). Sadly, we can no longer give her what she deserves. My elderly father is ill, and I now have a lot of added responsibility for his care. I am also facing some health issues of my own and financial challenges, and add to that, there is a greater need to be away from home. She needs a family with more time and means to care for her.

Story

Nacho came into our lives 3 months ago when my friend gave him to us. he is a goofy dog who sometimes bumps into things because of his blind right eye he is a little wary of new people and is scared of men he doesn't know but given time and trust he will cuddle up next to you and climb on you like he is a lap dog. he loves to play fetch and tug of war. but be careful balls get him excited and he likes to bite shoes even if your wearing them. he is probably to rough when playing with smaller kids but with training confidence and love he listens and understands and will protect his area and family. now he just needs that forever home. due to some struggles we will not add a charge to his adoption we just want him to find a good home with a family that will take care of him.

Story

Hi Bailey is a 5 year old pitbull/doberman dog. She is very sweet and cuddly. She loves going on walks can be a little too excited. Bailey has bad separation anxiety issues, she would need someone who will be patient and help her separation anxiety. I cannot be that person for her due to personal reasons. She deserves a lovely home with someone who loves her dearly and will be nice and patient with her. She likes other dogs but I’m not sure how she would be living with one.

Story

Ever wonder what pure joy looks like after a lifetime of hardship? Hi, I’m Dia! I’m a 4-5 year old girl who spent my whole life having puppies for someone in Garland—litter after litter, until one day they just left me on the streets like I didn’t matter anymore. But you know what? I don’t let my past define me. I’m safe now, and these days I’m living my best life! I’ve discovered that tennis balls are basically the greatest invention ever, and soft beds? Oh my goodness, I never knew life could be this cozy. I absolutely love attention—the more pets and snuggles, the better. After years of just being used for breeding, I’m finally learning what it means to be loved as someone’s companion, and I’m soaking up every moment. I get along great with other dogs and kids, because I’m just a gentle soul who wants everyone to be happy. I have so much love to give, and I’m incredibly sweet with everyone I meet. My eyebrows always make me look sad, even when I’m wagging my tail like crazy and my heart is full of happiness. But don’t let that fool you—I’m truly thriving now. I’m ready to find a forever family who will never leave me behind and who will let me spend my golden years being the cherished companion I was always meant to be. Could that be you?

Story

Can you be the fresh start I’ve been waiting for? Hi, I’m Maverick. My life hasn’t been easy. I came all the way from Texas, where I was nearly out of time on the euthanasia list. When I first arrived in Skokie, everything was loud and unfamiliar—and honestly, it was pretty scary. But I’ve come a long way since then. Here at C.A.R.E., I’ve found some amazing dog friends and get to be part of playgroups, which I love! I’m happiest when I’m playing, moving, and learning. Agility? I’m all over it. Obedience? I’m mastering the basics and proud of it. I’m a smart, active boy who truly enjoys having a purpose. What I need now is a reliable, comfortable home—one where I can finally relax and feel safe. A fenced backyard would be amazing so I can stretch my legs and play freely. I’d also make an awesome walking or hiking buddy if you love being active too. I’ve already proven I’m a survivor. Now I’m ready to be someone’s best friend. If you’ve got a spot in your heart (and your home) for a loyal, energetic guy with a soft side, I’d really love to meet you. Always hoping, Maverick
