Small dog, big personality… and a real contender for the Energizer Pup award! Shooter McGavin is a spunky little white dog who’s always ready for the next round of play, especially with other dogs. He may start off a little shy—after all, it’s a big world for such a little guy—but once you earn his trust, he’ll be zooming circles around your heart. Just like his movie namesake, Shooter knows how to make an entrance… only he prefers tennis balls over golf balls!

Story
Little pup seeking the back of your recliner or couch to share. Introducing Teddy, a 2 ½ year old, 7-8 pound, Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier cross) with a silky, soft coat requiring routine grooming. Teddy needed a few months to decompress and settle into foster care so we could get to know him and help him secure his forever home. This little guy’s personality is more like that of a Terrier; he’s independent, knows what he likes and doesn’t like, is playful, and loving to his people. Teddy does not trust people right away and will require time to adjust to the adopter. Teddy came to our rescue after his owner fled her home because of domestic violence issues. Understandably, he requires a very calm home, without children, and a patient, understanding adopter.  As you could maybe tell from the opening sentence, one of Teddy’s favorite places to lay is on the back of his foster mom’s recliner chair. He enjoys overseeing the activities of the house’s other dogs from his perch, having a good cuddle, as well as sleeping under his blanket. Teddy’s foster home has several small dogs in the home and he really enjoys playing tug and chase with them.   Teddy has some emotional scars from the life he lived prior to rescue, but he has made a lot of progress these past several months. We are hoping that you are that special person willing to give this boy a chance to become your best buddy. He deserves a wonderful new life. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Must have a securely fenced yard, and an adult only household. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, dewormed, groomed, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS need to be requested from acaringplace@comcast.net   Our online application is not working properly. A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area. All dogs and puppies live in foster homes, providing you as the adopter, with information on the animal's behaviors, needs, and requirements. We are always in search of fosters care providers. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.     July 16, 2025, 8:53 pm

Hi, I’m Marshmallow! I’m a very sweet boy. Going for walks outside is one of my favorite things, especially when I get to explore the world with my person by my side. I’m looking for an adult-only home where I can feel calm, safe, and understood. I also need to be your one and only pet so I can enjoy all the love just for me. In a peaceful, quiet home, I know I’ll thrive and be the most loyal companion you could ask for!

Story
Casper is a young Maltese mix who was found as a stray, but you'd never know it by his cheerful spirit. This little guy is as sweet as they come - friendly, playful, and always ready to snuggle up with his favorite people. He loves to play fetch and is looking for someone to play with him! Being young, Casper still has a bit of that puppy energy and can get a little mouthy when he's excited. For that reason, we think he'll do best in a home with children 5 years and up, until he fully learns that little fingers aren't chew toys. He would thrive in a home with another dog due to his high energy and desire for a playful canine companion. Casper is full of love and joy, and he's ready to bring endless cuddles and fun into his forever home. Could you be the one to give this playful boy the loving family he deserves? Note: We cannot guarantee that any of our dogs are hypoallergenic.

Story
Meet Lilly! I am a gentle soul with a heart full of love. I am very sweet and love belly rubs and treats. I weigh 10 lbs and love to go on walks. I do get excited and “talk” to other dogs on walks. Don’t they know this is my neighborhood and they aren’t allowed to walk in it too?! Due to my excitement, my foster mom thinks I’d do best in a home where I’m the only dog and get alllllll the attention. My favorite place to be is on my humans lap, being held and watching tv. Yes, TV! Let’s meet and talk about our favorite shows to watch. I can’t wait to be our couch buddy. My foster mom says I also love to keep her company while she works and I’m the best co- worker and let her work while I snooze, dreaming of my forever family finding me. I am about 3-1/2 years old and I’m told I’m a Yorkie-Maltese mix. Which equates to an adorable little bundle of pure happiness. I am housebroken and crate trained. But I only go in the crate when no one is home or to sleep overnight. If there are any kids in my forever home, I prefer them to be 10 or older. Lilly is available to adopt in the Chicagoland area and is being fostered in a home. Appointments to visit her will be set up for approved adopters only. Adoption fee is $400.00 which includes all age appropriate vaccines, and she is already spayed and microchipped. Please visit our website at http://newstartdogrescue.org and fill out an application if you are interested.
