Amber

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Female, 4 yrs 8 mos

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Amber first came to CRA with her litter of puppies—lovingly known as the “Seinfeld” litter. All of her babies have since found homes. Although her original family hoped to keep her, circumstances changed, and now Amber is searching for her own happily ever after. Amber is currently on Fluoxetine to help manage her separation anxiety. She is working on crate training confidence and knowing that you will return, however her previous life wasn't the best so it is a day by day journey. Amber is a small terrier mix with plenty of youthful energy—and yes, there’s definitely some Chihuahua in the mix. She’s not the best at marketing herself, but she’s also completely unbothered by that fact. (According to her foster mom, she’s perfectly content living rent-free forever. Foster mom may or may not be seeking rescue herself.) She’s very suspicious of strangers at first and would honestly prefer not to be perceived until she decides you’re worthy. Once she drops the diva act, though, she is going to hug your leg and wait until you pet her head. She’s lightning-fast when the zoomies strike, ridiculously soft (think bunny-level soft), and always down to binge some questionable TV while judging your coworkers with you. Amber takes her self-appointed role as personal bodyguard very seriously. If someone questionable shows up, she will unleash a full blast of Chihuahua sass to make sure you’re well protected. Because of her bold personality, we’re looking for an adult-only home where her strong opinions will be appreciated. She has done well with all dogs she has met, and well she has met a lot in the TWO years she has been waiting for her forever home. A home with a yard would be ideal so she can explore without leash frustrations. Amber is perfectly imperfect, full of sass, charm, loyalty, and personality. If you’re ready for a tiny, devoted sidekick who will demand treats and give you endless entertainment in return, she just might be your girl. Amber’s adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, up-to-date vaccines and preventatives, and she is heartworm negative. If you live within three hours of Chicago and would like to be considered, please apply directly. For questions prior to applying, email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org.

Lily

Jack Russell Terrier Border Collie

Female, Adult

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I have a 1 1/2 year old. She is having a hard time adjusting to a new move and the baby exploring and walking and being clumsy. My wife and I are unfortunately less able to give her the proper attention and love she deserves and we want to give her a better life. She is a shy dog, but loyal to those who are kind and gentle to her. She is generally shy to those she doesn't trust and she doesn't trust easily. She hasn't bitten any person / is great with adults, but she has growled / been aggressive at my infant daughter and I cannot take that risk. A perfect scenario for this is if someone has no other dog or no young children and someone who wants to be active with her. She is truly a wonderful little dog, but I fear that I have put her in the wrong situation. She isn't a bad dog. She LOVES when she loves her person. Shes a gentle dog that needs love and attention, not a chaotic growing family situation.
