Story
**PENDING ADOPTION** Snowy is a 2-year-old Maltese mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. She is truly a “people dog” who adores her humans and also enjoys playing with other dogs. Snowy is spunky and energetic, especially when it’s time to play, but she also loves being close to her person and taking cozy naps on the couch or in her comfy bed. She is completely house-trained and is currently eating three meals a day to help her put on a little weight. She’s very smart and already picking up basic commands. Snowy would benefit greatly from puppy obedience classes to continue building her skills and confidence. While she isn’t fully leash-trained yet due to the cold weather, she walks nicely alongside her fosters and is expected to catch on quickly. Snowy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. Snowy is a sweet, affectionate girl who would make a wonderful companion in a loving home. If interested, please apply here: https://tinyurl.com/4u3tuy5c -Due to the high volume of applications, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet. If selected, we require a phone interview, virtual house check, and meet and greet with your entire family.

Story
He is very healthy, very playful. Wants to go on walks 4-5 times a day. Would love a family with yard as he loves to be outside. Loves people, kids. Scared of big dogs and cats. He would be great for someone who is home a lot. I am having to travel a lot and I have to go in to office now which leaves him alone a lot. I feel v bad for him. Also, I had to move to an apartment, which is small.

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
Gizmo is a sweet and social 10 year old boy who is looking for a home that will give him lots of love and attention. He has never been violent, gets along with everyone, and loves to play and cuddle. Gizmo has severe separation anxiety, so we are looking for owners who work from home most of the week, has another dog/cat who will play with him and are familiar with dogs who have anxiety. We also want to keep a relationship with his new owners, so we can visit him throughout the rest of his life.

Story
Rolex is a silly goose! Maltese boy with exceptional personality and 100% stud muffin Rolex is now in a foster-to-adopt home. We keep applications open until adoption is finalized to ensure every dog always has loving options and support. Apply if interested! He’s an older guy, would do fine with kids and other dogs. He’s a lap dog though. We don’t see cats being a bother, as he’s a happy-go-lucky guy.  He’s so ugly, he’s cute..   His lamby looks like him.His name is Rolex, he looks more like a Casio, but definitely has the heart of a Rolex. He is the sweetest pumpkin ever!! He is playful for his age, but not too much. He loves to carry small stuffed babies around in his mouth and likes to collect his treasures in his kennel. He loves to snuggle and will sit on your lap and stare at you like you hung the moon. He’s perfect!   He is kennel trained and is doing well going potty outside!  Rolex got a makeover with some top notch grooming. He's super handsome now.  ##2602168##

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!
