Story
Petunia is around 3 years old. She came from TX to a shelter in Portland, Oregon, where my son adopted her. He lives in a very busy area, a lot of foot traffic. Petunia has anxiety - she is scared of strangers, cars, outside noises (when she is outside) so taking her for walks was/is a challenge. In Portland, she enjoyed visits to dog parks and played well with other dogs. She came to me in October 2024 as both my son and I thought she would thrive in a suburban setting with a back yard to alleviate her anxiety on walks. She has a congenital condition where lymphatic fluid pools in her right front leg. This is stable. As she gets to know you, she becomes affectionate. She waits on the bed to get under the covers with you, she will rest her chin on your knee to let you know she wants to go out. She loves to fetch, but doesn't always bring it back. She is vigilant and spends hours watching the world. She needs to be the only pet in the house.

Story
We’re looking to rehome our sweet 3-year-old female Cockapoo. She has ongoing health challenges that need continued support. She has had severe itchy skin for about two years. We’ve worked closely with our vet and tried multiple treatments, but unfortunately haven’t found a lasting solution. She also has a habit of eating her poop that hasn’t improved despite different interventions. Because of these issues, she must be supervised at all times and cannot be without her cone, except during walks otherwise, she will try to scratch and end up hurting herself. We’re expecting a baby soon and regrettably can no longer provide the constant supervision and vet care she requires. We’re hoping to find a dedicated, experienced, and compassionate person who can continue to work with her and invest in her health and happiness. If you have the time, patience, and resources to help her thrive, please reach out. She truly has a sweet personality and deserves a loving, understanding home.

Story
If you don't see a dog currently with Players for Pits that interests you, please consider fostering. There are over 300 amazing dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (the shelter most our adoptable dogs come from) and we can match you with a good fit. The rescue covers the cost of all vetting and supplies needed for fostering and we will connect you with a support system of team members/volunteers from our rescue so you are not alone in the process. Fostering saves lives! When you decide to foster, you are temporarily opening your home up to a dog in need who may otherwise have been euthanized. We have many teirs of fosters. The first is "revolving fosters" meaning they take on one or two dogs at a time and when that dog or dog(s) get adopted, they get ready for a new foster to keep to cycle of saving lives going! Another large part of our rescue is Vacation Fosters who do short term fostering. To foster for us, we currently require you be within an hour of Roselle, Illinois where our main vet is located. But if you live out of state or too far, there will be a rescue local to you that could use your help! To register to foster with us, please start by doing a "Foster Sign Up" linked below. This will give us a brief summary of who you are without wasting your time in case you are too far or may be a better fit for another rescue. To sign up, visit https://www.playersforpits.com/foster or contact info@playersforpits.com for more information.

Story
We love Ivy! Ivy is such a charming and friendly dog who makes instant friends with anyone she meets (sometimes needs a minute or 2 with some dogs.) Ivy loves kiddie pools and will entertain herself with toys. Even after they're gutted, she enjoys flipping them around and catching them. If the shred lands in your lap, then you're in on the game too! Ivy's foster mom says: "Boxer mix Ivy is delightful, with excellent house manners, good with small kids, good on a leash. Great with other dogs after a proper introduction. Loves watersports: pools, hoses, and squirt guns. Sweet, friendly, and affectionate with excellent house manners." Ivy is crate trained and has excellent house manners. She is fine with small children. She walks well on a leash but can be strong. Ivy is about 2 yo and weighs about 55 lbs. She is spayed, vaccinated, screened for parasites, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $390 cash and she is available for foster-to-adopt within the Chicago area.

Story
Meet Showgirl! Showgirl is a beautiful female dog, approximately 2 years old, with a gorgeous light caramel beige coat and a sweet, soulful expression. She was found as a stray just moments before giving birth to four healthy puppies. Despite being scared and giving birth in a shelter environment, Showgirl proved to be an incredible mother and a devoted protector to her puppies and her foster family. She has been wonderful with children ages 3 to 9 and is gentle and patient when playing fetch with little ones. She has even happily let kids wrap her up in blankets, showing just how trusting and tolerant she is. Showgirl enjoys being outside when the weather allows and balances her playful side perfectly with her love for cuddling. Showgirl knows basic commands including sit and come, is potty trained, and does well with both kids and adults. She loves to play during the day and curl up close at night, making her the perfect companion for active moments and quiet evenings alike. She will happily be your blanket on cold nights. Spunky, loving, and loyal, Showgirl truly is the full package. Despite her rough start, she continues to trust and love all humans with her whole heart. Showgirl is ready for a forever home where she can finally be the one being cared for and cherished. Looking for a cuddle bug to complete your home?
