Story
Meet Rocky Balboa, an adorable 13-pound Maltese Poodle mix with a gentle heart and sweet personality. Due to personal circumstances, his previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him, and now Rocky is looking for a loving new home where he can feel safe and secure. Rocky can be a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up to new people and environments. He is looking for an adult-only home where things are calm and predictable, giving him the chance to settle in at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, Rocky’s playful and affectionate side begins to shine through, and he becomes a fun little companion who enjoys spending time with his people. This handsome boy is looking for a patient adopter who will give him the understanding, time, and love he needs to build confidence and truly thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet little companion and can give Rocky the quiet, adult home he needs, he may be the perfect match for you. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

Story
    This beautiful pup is BONNIE, a very sweet, initially shy,  3-year-old, 17 pound, spayed female, Maltese/Poodle cross. Bonnie lives in a foster home with two adults and two teens, plus a few dogs of varying sizes and ages, all with whom she gets along. She is a loving, gentle, sweet dog who wants to be with her people whenever possible. She has good house manners and is respectful. As we have gotten to know Bonnie, we have determined that she requires a calm household that has another gentle dog who can be her buddy, and where people are home more than not.        Because Bonnie's first owners didn't socialize her with other people when she was young, Bonnie is insecure meeting new people. Taking things slowly with her is essential - and it works! Once Bonnie is comfortable, she is very sweet and friendly. She enjoys going for walks but continues to display insecurity and fear of unknown people. She would benefit from continued gentle training to help her not find the world such a scary place. Bonnies foster family is taking her for short walks to help her have positive experiences.     Bonnie is housebroken. She was previously trained to use potty pads for toileting but is now trained to go outside on the grass. Bonnie really enjoys spending time in the backyard. She is a bit of a barker so she is not appropriate for apartment/condo living, nor a home with young children. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, been tested for diseases, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request at acaringplace@comcast.net   Bonnie requires a calm home that has another dog with whom to socialize and a securely fenced yard.   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.     October 1, 2026, 8:27 pm

Story
    Petite pup seeking a chest to lay on or the back of your recliner to share with you. Introducing Teddy, a 3-4 year old, 6 pound, Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier cross) who has a silky-soft cream colored non-shedding coat. Teddy is a nice balance of being independent and being  snuggly - he is playful and loving to his people.     One of Teddy’s favorite places to lay is on the back of his foster mom’s recliner chair. He lives happily and harmoniously in a foster home with several other small dogs; from time to time he can be a little bossy with them but is easily corrected. Teddy enjoys playing tug with toys as well as playing chase with the other dogs in the yard. He will “over-see” the other dogs’ activities throughout the day, have a good cuddle with his foster mom, and take a nap sleeping under his blanket.      Teddy has some emotional scars from the life he lived prior to rescue causing him to not initially trust people he doesn’t know, so he will a couple weeks to settle-in with his new owner to feel safe and secure. He deserves a wonderful new life; can you help his dream come true? ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Adult only household, and securely fenced yard. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, dewormed, groomed, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped.

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.
