Story
These adorable German Shorthaired Pointer puppies are happy, playful, and full of energy! German Shorthaired Pointers are intelligent, affectionate, and active dogs that can make wonderful family companions. They enjoy being part of the action, whether that's spending time with their people, playing outside, or going on adventures. GSPs are athletic, high-energy dogs that need plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and room to run. They're smart and eager to learn, but they'll need consistent training, socialization, and active families committed to keeping them engaged as they grow. These puppies will do best with families who understand the needs of an energetic sporting breed and are ready for an active lifestyle. Apply to adopt: thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com Medical note: Goose has a hernia that is currently not painful or dangerous. It will be repaired at the time of his neuter. Adoption fee: $800, including up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, Bordetella vaccine, and spay/neuter through one of our rescue veterinary partners. If you prefer to use your own veterinarian for the spay/neuter, we will reimburse $100. The procedure must be completed by 6 months of age, and a contract will be signed.

Story
Lola LaRue is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Lola LaRue. Doesn't that sound like the name of a glamorous Southern belle? A sophisticated lady with impeccable manners, an impressive social calendar, and perhaps a little family money? Well, we made it up. She's from Alabama, and we thought plain old "Lola" just didn't do this spectacular girl justice. And once you meet her, we think you'll agree! At approximately 2.5 years old, Lola LaRue is a gorgeous, speckled sweetheart with a personality every bit as fabulous as her name. Those big brown eyes, those floppy ears, that wonderfully spotted coat, and a smile that seems permanently plastered across her face. She's the kind of dog who turns heads wherever she goes! And Lola LOVES meeting people. She's outgoing, affectionate, and unfailingly friendly, approaching life with the kind of enthusiasm that makes you wonder if she's ever had a bad day. She's a natural conversation starter, and we suspect her future adopter will make an awful lot of new friends simply by walking down the street with her! Speaking of walks, Lola is already a lovely leash companion. She's happy to get out and explore, and with her winning personality and distinctive good looks, she's sure to make even an ordinary neighborhood stroll feel like a social event. Lola is also a HUGE fan of other dogs! She's a playful, social girl who absolutely loves a good wrestling match with her canine friends. But don't let her enthusiasm for rough-and-tumble play fool you. Miss LaRue has range! She can also be demure and dainty, as she demonstrates with her kennel roommate, Tyler. She seems to understand that different friends call for different kinds of fun, and we love watching her show off both sides of her personality. What makes Lola so special isn't just that she's beautiful, or friendly, or playful. It's that she's such a genuinely delightful dog to be around. She's happy, affectionate, sociable, and seems to have a knack for making everyone around her smile. Lola LaRue may have a fancy name, but she's not the least bit high-maintenance when it comes to making friends. All she needs is someone to love, some canine buddies to play with, and plenty of opportunities to show the world just how wonderful she is. If you're looking for a gorgeous girl with Southern charm, a million-dollar smile, and a personality that lights up a room, allow us to introduce you to the one and only Lola LaRue. Trust us, she's every bit as fabulous as she sounds! Lola's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed and up to date on core vaccines. Lola is Heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment with us. Heartland will cover the cost of treatment until she is Heartworm negative. Heartworm disease is common in dogs throughout the United States. It is a mosquito-borne disease and is not contagious to humans or other pets. If left untreated, heartworm infection can turn deadly. However, her Heartworm infection was identified and is being treated, and the prognosis is excellent. Heartworm disease is both preventable and curable. Once cured, a normal quality of life can be expected. It is important for all dogs to stay on lifelong Heartworm prevention, as even Heartworm positive dogs can be reinfected at any time if not current on preventions. Lola LaRue is on a 28 day course of antibiotics, after which she will receive three injections to treat her Heartworm (the first one will be on 12/8/26; with the final two on 1/5/27 and 1/6/27). All treatments will take place at our shelter with our veterinarian. That will complete the treatment, but she will need a quick retest at the adopter's vet 9 months post-treatment to make sure that she is Heartworm-free.

Story
Meet Tiger!🐯 Tiger is a 1-year-old, 60 lb Great Dane mix and one big goofy lovebug. He’s super affectionate, playful, and has absolutely NO concept of personal space! He’ll lean his whole body into you for pets and loves being close to his people.He enjoys other dogs but can resource guard bones, which he’s already made a ton of progress on with training. He’s also working on his leash manners and keeping all four paws on the floor when he gets excited!Tiger lives with a cat and is always trying to convince him to play. Because he’s a big, enthusiastic guy, older kids would be best. He’s a sweet, goofy boy with lots of love to give ❤️Since Rescue Gang is a foster-based rescue, most of us live in private homes. That means you’ll need an approved application to chat with my foster and learn more about me. Apply at Rescuegang.org DATCP#483538

Story
Click here for Elvis's Facebook Album April 2026: Well it's been a year since I posted an update on precious Bubba (formerly Elvis) but I am happy to report that he is now heartworm negative and doing GREAT!! He is the happiest Pointer and loving life in foster care. Unfortunately he does have an incontinence problem perhaps due to his neuter and tumor surgery last year. Kinda of a bummer, but I just put a belly band around him indoors as he does love to snuggle on the couch. Bubba is the epitome of what we love in our English Pointers- loving, silly, goofy, playful and just a joy to be around. I did DNA test him and Wisdom Panel thought he was more German Shorthaired Pointer, but we suspect that they don't have a lot of field bred Pointer DNA in their program as he really looks more like a field bred "English" Pointer. He is also calmer than a typical GSP and doesn't need to play fetch constantly. He does like pulling toys out of the kiddie poop however. Bubba is a super special dog and he will need a super special adopter. March 18 2025: Elvis' dental and neuter are done. He did well, lost 4 teeth and we are doing a biopsy on his potential scrotal tumor. What a sweet boy, that just needed some TLC. With heartworm slow kill, we'll test at 8 months and see where he is at, hopefully he'll be negative by then, but oftentimes it takes longer. We are taking our time with him especially since he is also infected with Ehrlichia, Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Glad he came to IBR otherwise that would have been missed. We are looking for a foster or foster to adopt home for him in the Chicago area with a safe fenced in yard. Heartworm slow kill treatment is super easy and so much easier on the dogs we rescue. Our adoption or foster app can be found at www.helpibr.org March 2025: Elvis was left outside the city jail in a cage in Tompkinsville, KY a few weeks ago. The jail is sometimes used as the local humane society. He was in terrible shape, extremely thin and frightened. We worked for a few weeks to line up transport and in that time it was discovered that Elvis was infected with heartworms and he had a sore on his testicles. The great folks in Kentucky got his vaccinations done and also got him started on heartworm slow kill. In between some nasty weather, and some plane electrical problems, Elvis was driven to Louisville, KY and then flown to the Chicago suburbs by Captain David Tan. His latest exam and bloodwork shows that Elvis is also fighting 3 tick borne diseases- Ehrlichia, Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. We got a closer look at his teeth- which were in terrible shape and Elvis also has an enlarged testicle besides a cyst. This poor dog has suffered some terrible neglect but while we are in the search for a longer term foster, he is being cared for and loved on by our good friends at Tail Gate for Dogs in Elmhurst. As Dr. Rimkunas didn't rule out testicular cancer, I have his neuter and dental set up for March 18th and we could really use some donations to help with his ongoing medical care.
