Story
Meet Adele — the tiny Maltese with a big attitude!At just 3 years old, she’s confident, clever, and fully convinced she runs the house. Fostered with three large dogs, she struts around like their pint-sized CEO.Adele takes her “protector of the home” role seriously and is always the first to announce visitors. She may come off like a tough cookie at first, but with time and patience, she’ll show you her soft side and become your favorite couch buddy. Because of her cautious nature, Adele will need a home with no small children and few new visitors. She loves car rides, waits by the door for her next adventure, and ends the day curled up on your lap. She’ll nudge you when she wants affection… and sassily let you know when she’s done!Adele is smart, spunky, affectionate on her own terms, and full of character — a tiny queen looking for a home that appreciates her sass, her sweetness, and her wonderfully feisty spirit.

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

Story
Clocking in at under ten pounds, Pizzelle is an energetic, playful, and spirited Maltese. He was saved from a puppy mill bust where over 100 dogs and puppies were living in deplorable conditions. Since he has not experienced life outside of the mill, he is very shy when he initially meets new people, but he LOVES other dogs and enjoys playing with his canine friends. Once he accepts you as non-threatening, his skittish side disappears and he shows just how loving of a sweetie he can be. Pizzelle is looking for a forever home with another canine companion (or two) to provide him additional comfort and a buddy to wrestle with. He is a sweet boy and would love a quiet home with a patient owner to call his forever. Will that be you?
