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

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

Story
Are you ready to meet three little survivors who are about to steal your heart? Vera, Veronica, and Virginia were found as strays in the forest in Texas, hungry, painfully thin, and in very rough shape. No puppy should ever have to face that alone. Thankfully, these three sweet girls were brought to safety, where caring hands gave them food, medical care, and time to heal. Today, they are healthy, happy, and ready for everything life has to offer. Once they were strong enough, Dog Is My Co-Pilot flew them north to us, and what a journey it has been! You would never guess what they went through by looking at them now. Each sister has her own wonderful personality: **Vera** is the little hellion who keeps everyone busy. She is a talker who loves to bark her opinions, and she would thrive with a playful friend by her side, because she does not like being apart from her siblings. **Veronica** is the perfect in-between. Some days she is the wild one leading the zoomies, and other days she is quiet, independent, and content to do her own thing. **Virginia** is the good one. She is calm, sweet, quiet, and confident, the kind of puppy who wins you over with a gentle look. All three are playful, loving, and full of cuddles. They have already come so far, and all they need now is a family to love them forever. Could that family be yours? 🐾 Vera, Veronica, and Virginia

Story
What does home mean to a dog who has never had four walls of his own? Meet Hutch. For a long time, home for Hutch was the inside of a car. It was small and cramped, but he did not mind, because his family was there. His people, his cat sibling, and his dog siblings all squeezed in together, and as long as they were together, Hutch felt safe. They loved him the best way they knew how. Then one day, everything changed, and Hutch found himself at the shelter. Now his family is no longer beside him, and it shows. He is sad. He misses the warmth of his pack. He is a little thin, and he is still learning that good meals and soft beds are meant to be his. But Hutch has so much love left to give. He is gentle, loyal, and grateful for every kind word and every scratch behind his ears. Having grown up sharing space with cats and dogs, he knows how to be a good roommate. All he needs is someone willing to give him a chance. Hutch dreams of a couch to curl up on, a full bowl, and a person to call his own. Once he is settled in, he will gain his strength back and blossom into the happiest, most devoted companion you could ask for. The sooner he finds his family, the sooner he can begin to heal. Will you open your heart and your home to Hutch? He promises to spend every day showing you how thankful he is. 🐾 Hutch

Story
Could two hearts looking for the same home be exactly what your family needs? Kenny Rogers and Jolene are two wonderful spaniels who came to Chicago Animal Care and Control together after being surrendered from the same house, and they are hoping to leave together too. These two have spent their whole lives side by side, and it shows. They clearly enjoy each other's company, and watching them together is a reminder of just how deep a bond between two dogs can be. Kenny Rogers and Jolene love a good walk and could spend all day playing with soft toys, tossing them around with pure delight. They can be a little skittish when they first meet someone new, but do not let that fool you. Give them a few minutes to warm up, and they will be right in your lap, soaking up every bit of affection you have to offer. Once they trust you, they trust you completely, and there is nothing quite like earning that kind of loyalty. C.A.R.E. is looking for a home willing to adopt Kenny Rogers and Jolene together, so they can continue the life they have always known, just with people who love them as much as they love each other. If you have room in your home and your heart for two loyal, affectionate spaniels who come as a package deal, Kenny Rogers and Jolene would love to meet you. 🐾 Kenny Rogers & Jolene 🐾
