Story
********AVAILABLE******* Hi Everyone, My name is Baxter and I am a 6lb 6-7 year old Maltese. I’m hoping that I can find a family who is up for somewhat of a challenge. Maybe a Unicorn family so to speak? I’ve been called “A terrible dog”. Unpredictable and just plain crazy. People just haven’t been able to understand my quirks. I’m nothing but misunderstood!! I do need some time to adjust as something in my past has left me very nervous. My human mom passed away and I was put into the system. I’m used to a quiet and peaceful home. My human foster sister is my most favorite person ever and her mom is pretty nice too. If you have patience and lots of love I’m your guy! Am I a bit of a challenge? Maybe!! Am I cute as cute can be? Definitely!!, Am I worth the effort? You bet I am!! I am an adorable and smart little boy. When I like you….I would do anything for you!! If I don’t, then I’m a bit of a tiny Jerk!! Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I promise!! I am good with other animals. I get along with all sizes and ages of dogs. Please contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home if your my Unicorn!! I will come with the works (Neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested if age appropriate, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Misunderstood Baxter

Story
Delia is a little ray of sunshine! Delia is as sweet as they come—loving, happy, and always ready to soak up every bit of affection you’re willing to give. Whether she’s cuddled up next to you, napping in a sunny spot, or heading out for a nice walk, Delia is just happy to be part of your day. So far, we haven’t found anything this girl doesn’t enjoy! She loves her food, her people, and all the simple pleasures in life. Her foster family shared that she settled into their home right away, as if she’d always been there. She’s been friendly and easygoing with everyone she’s met, including both people and other dogs. Delia came to us from animal control, but it’s clear she was once well loved and cared for—she has great manners and a calm, confident presence. She has a lovely, balanced energy and even seems younger than her age, ready to join in on activities or relax right by your side. Adaptable and affectionate, Delia would likely do well in many different types of homes, as long as she has a family who will give her the love and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a gentle, happy companion to share your days with, Delia might just be your perfect match. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
Arnold is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Arnold is a distinguished little gentleman with a charming underbite and a heart as soft as his snowy coat. This sweet senior has clearly mastered the art of living well—he’s completely house trained, politely lets you know when he needs to go out, and prefers the simple pleasures of life: a cozy bed, a gentle hand, and a peaceful home. He’s not one for chaos or commotion; Arnold is happiest when he’s lounging nearby, soaking up affection and offering quiet companionship in return.Despite his age, Arnold is wonderfully easygoing with everyone he meets. He gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and humans of all ages, though he tends to take a “live and let live” approach with other pets. He rarely barks (in fact, almost never!) and doesn’t have a single bad habit to his name. Deaf due to long-term ear issues, Arnold navigates the world in his own calm, unbothered way—ambling through the yard, taking slow strolls around the block, and settling into one of his many favorite nap spots without a care in the world. Arnold does have a few medical needs, including eye medication and ongoing ear care, and he prefers soft food due to having only a few teeth—but what he asks for in care, he gives back tenfold in love. He’s simply looking for a quiet, comfortable place to spend his golden years, surrounded by kindness and warmth. If you’ve got a soft spot for senior pups and a peaceful home to share, Arnold will reward you with unwavering companionship and the sweetest little smile you’ve ever seen.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
