Story
Meet Beach Ball! Beach Ball is a 1-year-old, 11-pound sweetheart who was found as a stray and brought to CACC with a badly injured back left leg. Understandably, she was frightened, uncomfortable, and unsure of everything around her. But after just a few days in a foster home, Beach Ball is already a completely different dog. Once she realized she was safe, her personality blossomed. She is incredibly cuddly and affectionate and absolutely loves being close to her people. Her favorite place is curled up in a lap, soaking up attention and enjoying the comfort of finally having a safe place to relax. Beach Ball is scheduled to have her injured back left leg amputated on September 30, but she is available for adoption before her surgery. And while “amputation” can sound scary, becoming a tripod dog is really not expected to slow Beach down much at all. She already gets around almost entirely on three legs because she doesn’t use her injured leg now. She walks around the house, gets where she wants to go, and can even handle stairs just fine. In many ways, she is already living like a tripod—the surgery will simply remove the painful, unusable leg that she’s currently carrying around. Dogs generally adapt incredibly well to life on three legs, especially young, small dogs like Beach. Her day-to-day mobility is expected to be minimally impacted, and after her initial recovery, she should still be able to walk, play, use stairs, explore, and enjoy life just like other dogs. The amputation is a routine procedure, and recovery is typically quick, with about two weeks of healing time. For now, her foster family is keeping her activity limited while she waits for surgery. She is doing wonderfully using pee pads and has also shown that she can share her space with both dogs and cats. Beach has also made huge progress with visitors. After just a couple of introductions—and a little cheese bribery—she warms up quickly and is happy to make new friends. Her confidence is growing by the day, and it’s been amazing to watch her realize that people can be safe, kind, and worth cuddling. Beach Ball has already shown just how quickly she can blossom with a little love and security. She may be losing a leg, but she certainly isn’t losing her independence, her sweetness, or her ability to enjoy life. If you’re looking for a tiny, cuddly companion who will happily become your professional lap warmer, Beach Ball may be your girl. She’s ready to continue her transformation from scared stray to spoiled, cherished family member.

Story
Meet Bart Simpson! Don’t let the name fool youthis Bart is much sweeter than mischievous! This adorable, scruffy little guy is a happy, outgoing, curious puppy who loves everyone he meets. At just 4 months old, Bart is full of puppy energy and is always ready to see what his foster family is up to. If there’s something happening, you can bet Bart wants in on the action! Bart is crate trained and working hard on his potty training. He loves kids and gets along great with other dogs. His favorite activities include playing with toys, romping around with his doggy friends, following his foster family from room to room, and squeezing in as many snuggles as possible. He is incredibly affectionate and just might be the sweetest little Bart Simpson you'll ever meet! Like most 4-month-old puppies, Bart is still learning the ropes. He doesn't particularly enjoy being left alone and is learning that his people really do come back. His new family will need to be patient and understanding as he continues learning about potty training, crate time, basic manners, and all the other important lessons that come with being a puppy. Bart would do well with a family who has the time, patience, and commitment to help a puppy grow into a happy, well-mannered adult dog. Continued training, socialization, positive reinforcement, and plenty of playtime will help this little guy thrive. Bart may be named after Springfield's most famous troublemaker, but his biggest crimes are likely to be stealing toys, sneaking in extra snuggles, and following you everywhere you go.  If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy who wants to be your sidekick for all of life's adventures, Bart Simpson is ready to meet you. Just be prepared for lots of puppy kisses, zoomies, and a whole lot of love!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2843637##

Story
Meet Kibble! Kibble is a sweet 2-year-old Terrier mix with a happy personality, a playful spirit, and so much love to give! She came to rescue from Tunica, Mississippi, and is ready to find a patient family who will continue helping her learn, grow, and thrive. Kibble is potty trained, crate trained, and does great with other dogs. She loves being around her people and enjoys having dog friends to play with. She happily plays with her Chihuahua foster sibling and isn’t intimidated by the big hound mix in her foster home. Kibble truly just wants to be part of the fun! Kibble’s favorite things include: Her Toys  Chew toys Neighborhood walks Playtime with her people and dog friends Companionship and being included in family activities Giving lots of kisses! Kibble may be 2 years old, but she still has plenty of puppy energy! She is curious, playful, and sometimes needs reminders about what belongs to her and what doesn’t. She may try to “help” herself to tissues from the Kleenex box or mistake a harness for a chew toy, so she will need a family who can provide supervision, appropriate toys, and continued training. Kibble is not a big fan of her crate and may cry at first, but she settles quickly. Her foster family has learned she does best with safe collar and harness management, as her curious nature can sometimes get her into silly situations. Kibble would thrive with someone who has the time to play with her, exercise her, and give her the attention she loves. She is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys both human companionship and the company of other dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion with a little puppy mischief mixed in, Kibble may be your perfect match! She’s ready to bring her kisses, wiggles, and fun personality to her forever home.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2843377##

Chester

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
Mundelein, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chester is a little over a year old Jack Russell mix who is neutered, potty trained, crate trained, and ready to find his forever people! This sweet boy is a true Velcro dog—he wants to be wherever his people are and is happiest when he’s snuggled up next to his favorite humans on the couch or curled up beside them in bed.  Chester is definitely a lover, but he’s also a sensitive guy who needs a little time to feel comfortable in new and unfamiliar situations. New places, new people, and new experiences can be a little overwhelming for him at first. He’s still figuring out his surroundings and building his confidence, but he gets a little more comfortable each day. Once he knows he’s safe, his sweet personality really starts to shine. When Chester is feeling cozy, you can usually find him burrowed under a blanket, snuggled up on a pillow, or curled up in a comfy dog bed. Basically, if there’s a soft spot available, Chester would like to claim it. Chester came into rescue with his girlfriend, Jolene, and their three puppies: Ace, Ashe, and Love Love. He has been through a lot of change, so it’s understandable that he needs some time and patience as he adjusts to his new life. His perfect family will be someone who understands that confidence doesn't happen overnight and is willing to let Chester come out of his shell at his own pace. He doesn’t need someone to rush him—he needs someone who will give him patience, reassurance, consistency, and lots of love. With time, he’ll learn that he’s safe and that his people are there to stay. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who will happily follow you around and then curl up beside you for a cozy nap, Chester might be the pup for you!  He’s ready for a patient family who will give him the time he needs to blossom into the confident, happy companion we know he can be.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2828309##

Story
Meet Mae Mae! If you're looking for a sweet little dog with a BIG personality, Mae Mae is your girl! This adorable 1-year-old Jack Russell mix is smart, silly, playful, affectionate, and guaranteed to keep you entertained. She has the cutest Terrier zoomies, loves her toys, and has a whole lot of love to give. Mae Mae is seriously smart! Her foster mom taught her to fetch and bring the ball back in just 15 minutes. She quickly learned “Ball” and “Bring me the ball,” and she responds well to “No.” Mae Mae loves learning and is eager to please, making her a fun little dog to train. Playtime is definitely one of Mae Mae's favorite things. She LOVES to run, chase toys, play fetch, and show off her adorable zoomie circles. Her tennis ball and squeaky toys are favorites, and she would absolutely enjoy a fenced yard where she can safely burn off some of that Terrier energy. A fenced yard isn't required, though—a family willing to give her plenty of exercise and playtime will make her just as happy. Once playtime is over, Mae Mae has another favorite activity: sleeping! She is crate trained and happily snoozes away, often stretching slowly when she wakes up before looking for some cuddles. She is also working on her potty training and will need a family willing to continue giving her the consistency and positive reinforcement she needs. Mae Mae gets along well with other dogs and would likely do fine with cats. In fact, she currently thinks the cat in her foster home is a little scary! What Mae Mae really needs is someone who will appreciate her fun-loving Terrier personality and give her the chance to keep learning and growing. She's a smart girl with so much potential, and she absolutely shines when she has someone who engages her mind, plays with her, and gives her plenty of love. Mae Mae is the perfect combination of zoomies + fetch + snuggles + serious naptime. She's ready to find the person who will appreciate all the silly, smart, wonderful things that make her Mae Mae.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2828311##

Story
Jethro is a sweet 5-month-old Terrier mix puppy with a gentle, calm nature. He came to rescue from a hoarding situation and is still learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. While he can be a little unsure at times, his sweet personality is starting to shine more every day. Jethro is working on his potty training and crate training and is doing really well! He continues to make progress each day and just needs a family who will give him the patience and encouragement he deserves. Jethro gets along well with the dogs and cats in his foster home. He especially likes cats and even enjoys playing with them! A home with a friendly cat could be a wonderful fit for him. Because of his background, Jethro would do best with people who understand that some puppies need a little extra time to blossom. He doesn't need to be rushed—he needs patience, kindness, consistency, and someone willing to celebrate those little milestones as his confidence grows. Jethro is a very sweet-natured boy who is learning more about life every day. With the right family by his side, we think this quiet little guy will continue to come out of his shell and become a wonderful companion. If you're looking for a gentle puppy and have the patience to let him grow into his confidence, Jethro may be just the boy you've been waiting for!    Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2843641##
