Story
Imogen is a sweet senior girl with a gentle soul, a happy tail wag, and a heart full of love. Thought to be around 14 years old, she would love a warm, calm home to live her golden years. Though deaf and completely blind, Imogen has adapted beautifully after having her eyes removed due to uncontrolled glaucoma. She is much more comfortable and even has a little pep in her step.Imogen is quiet, rarely barks, likes to spend time with her favorite human, and is generally indifferent to other dogs. She is trustworthy when left alone and will often circle when she needs to go outside. A true homebody, Imogen is content spending her days napping, receiving gentle affection, and simply being part of the family. The most important thing to know about Imogen is that she is a loving, resilient senior who asks for very little - a soft place to rest, kind hands to pet her, soft canned food, and a loving home. If you`re looking for a calm, devoted companion, Imogen may be the perfect match.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 dogs 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!

Story
Hope is a little Maltese with a big heart-and a past we can only imagine. At just 3-4 years old and only 5 pounds Hope has already been through more than any dog should. We don't know what her life was like before rescue, but when she arrived, her left eye was horribly infected and damaged so it had to be removed. She was spayed and had her teeth cleaned as well and has been deemed a healthy girl ! Thankfully, that chapter is behind her now. She has healed beautifully and is finally ready for the part of her story she has always deserved: a loving family of her own. Hope will need a patient, understanding home where she can learn that she is safe, cherished, and truly loved. She enjoys having her head and belly rubbed, although when she's had enough, she'll simply wander off and find a quiet place to relax. She would be happy as your one and only, or with another small, gentle dog. Large dogs make her uncomfortable. She's frightened by loud noises like vacuums, thunder, and lightning, and she's still learning that the world doesn't have to be scary. She uses potty pads and will also go outside when she has a securely fenced area. Leash walking is new to her-right now, she freezes-but her foster family is patiently working with her. She's also learning "sit" and doing wonderfully! And if you happen to have a tasty treat? Well... Hope is VERY food motivated. Give her something that smells delicious and she'll put on an entire little song and dance to convince you she deserves it. Hope doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient one. A family willing to show her, day by day, that gentle hands, soft voices, belly rubs, warm beds, and unconditional love are what life is supposed to feel like. She has already survived the hard part. Now she just needs someone to help her discover how beautiful life can be. Could you be Hope's forever? If youre interested in one of our dogs or would like help finding the perfect match please submit an application at: https://forgoodrescue.net/dog-adoption/We will not discuss details regarding any particular dog if you have not yet applied to adopt.For Good Rescue is a 100% volunteer nonprofit organization.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Falcor. ❤️ I’m not really sure how I ended up here, but I’m hoping my story has a much happier chapter ahead. I was hit by a car and a kind Good Samaritan saw what happened and rushed me to the ER. They took radiographs (nothing broken), got me started on pain medication, and then tried to find my family through my microchip. Unfortunately, the person contacted denied being my owner and said they didn’t want me anymore. So… just like that, I was discarded. I may not understand why someone could stop wanting me, but I’m trying not to let it change the kind of boy I am. I’m the sweetest little guy, and even though I’m still a little unsure of where I am and everything I’ve been through, I have this gentle soul that just wants to trust again. I’m really the sweetest boy. My tail will not stop wagging when I see you, and I love to be pet and cuddle up in your lap. I’m a Maltese mix, which means I’m considered hypoallergenic, but my beautiful coat does need regular brushing and professional grooming to keep me comfortable and looking my best.  I get along great with other dogs, of all sizes. I walk well on leash, and feel like I would do well around kids, considering my gentle demeanor. Because of me being hit by a car, my hip and back legs are getting stronger each day, but still may need some time to fully recover, until I can start jumping off couches and such.  I’m neutered, 4DX negative, current on my vaccines, and protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. My adoption fee is $400. I’m currently in Texas, but I can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, or locations along the East Coast. Transport is an additional $250. Please note: We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 21, 2026, 2:26 pm
