Story

Foster to Adopt pending neuter Have you ever met a dog whose heart is bigger than his fears? Benjamin is that dog. He came to C.A.R.E. as an owner surrender from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and the change has left him a little shaken. He lost everything familiar in an instant, including the people he loved most, and that kind of loss takes time to process. Benjamin is scared right now, and he does not hide it. He needs patience, gentleness, and a little bit of time to understand that he is safe again. Underneath that fear is an amazing love bug waiting to come out. Benjamin does not warm up in an instant, but give him a minute, sit with him, let him come to you, and he will begin to trust again. Once he does, he offers his whole heart in return. Benjamin has a special place in his heart for his own kind. If you are a lover of Chihuahuas or Miniature Pinschers, Benjamin will fit right into your world and your heart. He does not need someone perfect. He needs someone patient enough to help him heal and kind enough to show him that not every goodbye has to hurt. Benjamin is ready for his person. Is that person you? 🐾 Benjamin

Story

Foster to Adopt- pending neuter Have you ever wished for a gentleman caller who asks for nothing but love in return? My name is Bonchon, and I came to C.A.R.E. as a stray from Chicago Animal Care and Control. I did not have a family looking for me, but I am hoping that changes now. I am a happy guy with a wonderful, easygoing spirit, and I carry myself with the manners of a true gentleman. I am a great size, not too big and not too small, which makes me an easy fit for just about any home. I love people with my whole heart, and I love other dogs just as much. Introduce me to a new friend, human or canine, and I will greet them with nothing but warmth. Right now, I am working through a small upper respiratory infection, so I am staying away from other dogs until my treatment is complete and I get the all clear. I also still need to be neutered, so I am looking for my person through a foster to adopt arrangement while I take care of these last steps. It simply means my someone gets to bring me home now, and we get to finish this small chapter of my story together before it becomes official. I am ready to trade a shelter kennel for a couch, a routine, and a family of my own. Will you be the one to give me that soft place to land while I get healthy and become the dog I am meant to be? 🐾 Bonchon

Jerry

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 10 yrs 8 mos

Skokie, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jerry is a creature of habit, and he loves his routine more than almost anything. He is up early for a walk, he loves being outside, and he has never once had an accident in the house, not even when he had that growth on his leg or when he was recovering from surgery. He walks well on a harness and leash, and while he would love to meet every single dog and person he sees, he does best when introductions happen slowly and thoughtfully. He does not have an ounce of stranger danger in him. He gets excited for guests, he loves car rides with his head out the window, and people are always stopping to tell his person how cute he is. Jerry is quiet, easygoing, and content almost anywhere, whether that is at the office, on the couch, or riding along in the car. He loves his toys, though he does best with the sturdy kind, and he is wonderful about having boots, coats, or scarves put on him without any fuss at all. The one thing he asks for is a home where he does not need to be gated away from cats. He is endlessly curious about them, and while he only wants to chase, he knows that is not a safe game to play. Jerry has given his foster family so much joy, and he is ready to give that same joy to a family of his own for his senior years, in a home where he can simply be a happy, easy boy without complication. 🐾 Jerry

(when grown) -

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Does the couch feel a little emptier without someone to share it with? Mina would love to fill that spot. This beautiful girl has a light brindle coat that is shiny, soft, and begs to be pet. Mina is the perfect size for apartment living, and she carries herself with a calm, easygoing nature that makes her feel like an old soul. She is just as content curled up quietly on the couch with her person as she is running around playing, and she seems to know exactly when each mood is called for. Mina loves keeping her humans company while they do household chores, following along calmly from room to room rather than getting underfoot. She is already potty trained and well mannered in the house, with a settled temperament that makes daily life together simple and stress free. Mina does great with kids and other dogs, greeting them with the same relaxed, gentle energy she brings to everything else, making her a wonderful fit for almost any home. Mina came to C.A.R.E. from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and now she is ready to find a family who will love her calm heart forever. Could that family be yours? 🐾 Mina

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Have you ever wanted to be someone's whole world? Meet Ookie, and get ready to become exactly that. Ookie has spent her whole life surrounded by other dogs, but here is the secret about her: she does not actually need them. What she craves, more than anything, is a human of her very own. She can leave the company of other dogs behind without a second thought, as long as she gets to be with you. Ookie is an older girl who takes a little time to warm up, but that time is so worth it. At first, she is a bit uneasy, feeling out her new surroundings and the people in them. Give her a moment, though, and she starts to like you. Give her a day or so more, and she loves you completely, jumping up to greet you and making it clear that she is all in. Once Ookie builds trust, she builds it for good, and what she is really asking for in return is simply to know that she is safe. Ookie is a good girl through and through, and a true lovebug at heart. She loves car rides, she loves walks, and she especially loves curling up on your lap for a quiet evening of watching TV together. She loves playing with her balls and soft toys, and she is always happiest with you in her sight, keeping close watch wherever you go. She will happily do whatever you are doing, as long as she gets to be right next to you while you do it. Treat her to a lick mat or a little yogurt, and you will have a friend for life. Simply put, Ookie is one happy, devoted girl waiting to make you her whole world too. 🐾 Ookie
