Story

Click here for Scout's Facebook Album November 2025: Scout is the pretty little GSP that was found near Des Plaines Conservation area after having been dumped. It's a long story- but she is safe and finishing up her heat cycle. Scout tested positive for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever and both tick borne diseases can affect a dog's ability to scent birds in the field. When I met Scout my first thought was that she was in LA LA LAND. A little goofy-- could be hormones too. She did great at the vet however for her blood draw and her exam. We are looking for a Foster to Adopt family in the Chicago area because she can't be spayed until mid January to let her hormones settle down and to do some consistent treatment for her Lyme and RMSF. We know NOTHING about her hunting ability and not sure we will be able to test her nose on birds so I am looking for a pet home for now and a fenced in yard is MANDATORY. She has had some playdates with other dogs and she seems to be fine. She will need some basic obedience. If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.

Story

Click here for Rosie's Facebook Recovery Album Rosie is a very pretty active liver roan German Short-haired Pointer. We are so happy to be a part of her helping her get ready to find her new loving forever home. November 2025: On October 14th, I received an email from the Kendal County Animal Control in Yorkville, IL. The shelter was full and she needed to get out ASAP. A witness saw her dumped out of a car on River Road in Yorkville. Her nails were overgrown, she had possible injuries to her body, including some pads torn from running on the road. She had also suffered from additional neglect as evident in the patches of hair loss on her back. She also has stains on her tail and back end from laying in damp stray- probably from being in a kennel outdoors. It was further discovered that Rosie and her sister had been listed on a Sandwich Facebook page for free and were given away and Rosie was possibly 6 years young. I networked Rosie for help as we didn't have any open fosters and she was breaking with kennel cough. It was a challenging few days as Rosie was a very sick dog and blood work showed she was anemic, had elevated white blood cells and she was also infected with Lyme disease. After a few days of TLC, Entyce appetite stimulant, and force feeding, Rosie started to get better and the day she starting eating on her own was such a relief. We even had a fun Halloween dress up pawty. A week after being at IBR HQ, she moved to a new foster where she has become great friends with 2 year old River the GSP. Her foster mom Wrenn- is working on some basic manners and Rosie is showing that she is a very smart biddable GSP. She is now ready to find her Foster to Adopt home. She is gun shy for sure-- could be the reason why she was dumped, so we are only looking for a pet quality home. We are also only looking for a Foster to Adopt home in the Chicago area as I will need to repeat her blood work to check her anemia prior to her spay in January. Rosie is having a great time playing with River and she was happy around all my dogs, so we'd like her to have a buddy in her new home. She will also need a safe fenced in yard-- NO EXCEPTIONS.

All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above. After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL: Park in the PetSmart (1606 E. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe: Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!
