Story
Precious Linda is looking for a special adopter who will help her on her journey learning how to be a dog! She’s a 3 year old, 8 pound, Maltese who is just trying to sort out this new world she finds herself in. She’s nervous and shy, but is doing well with other dogs and proving that she wants love from people, she just hasn’t learned how to ask for it yet. She doesn’t like being away from her foster mom so her crate isn’t her favorite! She’s working on potty training and just generally learning to trust. If you give her a patient home, with time Linda will surely prove to be your little shadow! She deserves nothing but the best from now on and we are sure the perfect home is just waiting for her! Linda's adoption fee is $550

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.     July 25, 2026, 5:10 pm

Some of Gideon`s favorite things are playing with his toy rabbit, sitting on his person`s lap, and sitting outside in the evening greeting everyone who walks by. Gideon recently went to a groomer and charmed everyone there! They took turns holding him and had nothing but good things to say about how well he behaved. Gideon gets along with other dogs.

Story
Meet Kip!  Kip is a 1-year-old Maltese mix looking for a family who will love him through his journey of discovering the world. Everything is still new and exciting (and sometimes a little startling) to Kip, so he can be a bit jumpy — but he's got a sweet, gentle heart and he's eager to feel safe and confident. Kip does best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can show him the ropes and help him build his confidence. He's a total shadow once he settles in — he loves following his people around the house and simply sitting with them, soaking up the company. Older kids and a fenced in yard are preferred The details: Age: 1 year old Breed: Maltese mix Energy level: Moderate Crate trained: Yes Potty training: Doing great — no accidents! Good with cats & dogs: Yes! Kip is convinced everyone is his friend — no chasing, just love. Kip would thrive with a patient family who can give him time to grow into himself, ideally alongside a playful canine sibling who can help him feel brave. If you're looking for a sweet, devoted companion who will stick by your side, Kip might be your guy If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family.

We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED!
