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.

Hi, I’m Marshmallow! 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.
