Story
Mally is a young, energetic pug with endless love to give. She came to us from a home environment where she was unfortunately being bullied a lot by the other dog in the household, and as a result she’s developed some pretty firm dog boundaries, so we’d prefer for her to go to a home where she can thrive as an only dog. She is crate trained, potty trained, and does excellent on a leash. She is an excellent car passenger, and while she can be a little nervous around strangers at first, she warms up very quickly. She has historically had some mild allergy problems in the spring where she gets a little redness between her toes, but a medicated leave on mousse has been very effective at managing that. You may have noticed that Mally only has one eye. Can’t get anything past you two-eye-havin’-folk, we know. Mally’s previous owners were unsure what happened to cause her to only have one eye as she was adopted to them after it went missing. That said, they did inform us that she’s very sensitive about the topic and there is an elaborate story about a fight with a bear that Mally definitely came out the victor from (sans an eye…) that she would prefer we keep consistent to help her keep up her tough outward appearance. Mally's adoption fee includes her spay, age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchip. She is available for adoption in or within 3 hours of Chicago. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org. Please note that we do not set up any meet and greets without an approved and matched application as we are not first come, first serve.

Story
Meet Ringo! 🐾❤️ Ringo is a wonderful dog with a big personality! We’ve had him since he was just 6 weeks old, and he’s been a loved part of our family ever since. He’s fantastic with children of all ages, including little ones. He loves people and has a playful, adventurous personality. Ringo enjoys playing fetch, snuggling under blankets, and spending time with his family. He eats well and does fantastic sleeping in his crate at night. He’s an energetic boy who would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can run, explore, and chase the occasional squirrel! We also believe he would do great with other dogs. Why we’re rehoming Ringo: As much as we love Ringo, our busy family schedule simply doesn’t allow us to give him the time and attention he deserves. This isn’t an easy decision, as he’s been part of our family for so long, but we want what’s best for him. We’re looking for a loving, responsible home where he’ll receive plenty of attention, affection.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pedro, who smiles when greeting you. Pedro’s life changed through no fault of his own when his family was deported back to Mexico, leaving him in need of a new place to call home. It’s heartbreaking when circumstances beyond anyone’s control separate a family, and now this sweet boy is hoping for a second chance with a family who will love him forever. Pedro is a fun, happy, loving, and gentle boy who has so much affection to give. He loves sharing hugs and kisses with his people, lounging around and enjoying the simple things in life, or heading out for a nice walk. He isn’t an overly active guy, so he would be happy with a more relaxed lifestyle, but don’t let that fool you! Pedro still has a playful side and knows how to have a good time. He gets along well with other dogs. We are unsure how he is with cats. Potty training is also something that may need to recorrect on, as he came in unaltered and unsure of his marking in home.  Pedro is the kind of dog who would love to be part of your everyday life, whether that means joining you for a leisurely stroll, relaxing beside you on the couch, or giving you sweet hugs and kisses after a long day. He doesn’t ask for much, just a safe home, a loving family, and someone who will never give up on him. Pedro is neutered, 4DX tested (He is  heartworm positive right now, but has started treatment. He has been on antibiotics and going through the ProHeart 12 protocol approved by the American Heartworm Society. The good news is that with this treatment, he should test negative in about 8–10 months) , microchipped, and current on vaccines. He is also current on ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and Bravecto for flea and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $350. Pedro is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast. If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, dogs cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Apply to adopt at www.adoggie4you.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 11, 2026, 7:45 pm

Story
Meet Tex Just over SIX pounds of pure tail-wagging happiness packed into one tiny, adorable package! This little guy is a professional snuggler who loves nothing more than wrapping himself around your neck and soaking up all the love. If you’re looking for a shadow, Tex is your guy! He’ll happily follow you everywhere and make sure you never have to do anything alone. Tex is still a puppy, so he's working on his potty-training skills. He can be a little shy or skittish when meeting new people or when things move too quickly, but once he feels comfortable, his friendly, attention-loving personality shines! He's great with dogs of all sizes and does well with cats, too. Tex came into rescue with some skin issues, but he's on the road to recovery and feeling better every day. He's believed to be a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix), although he seems to have inherited more of the Chihuahua body style. He's expected to stay a pretty little guy! If you have room in your heart and a spot around your neck for a professional cuddle buddy, Tex is ready to wrap himself right around you! Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Pal's Place would love to introduce you to two of the sweetest, cutest, and most lovable little nuggets in town, looking for loving forever families. Swiss and Colby are precious lovebug littermates who were rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. They are currently in a loving foster home in Chicago, waiting to meet their forever families. Their mother is a purebred Boston Terrier; their father is unknown. The other half of their parentage may be unknown, but daddy produced some adorable little fellas! The brothers can be described as looking like jumbo-sized Boston Terriers or miniature Boxers! At 9.5 months, they weigh 35 pounds, and their expected adult size falls right between these two breeds. Fantastic medium-sized pups perfect for urban or suburban dwelling. Colby is a social butterfly and life of the party! He is always eager to meet new human and canine friends, with a giant smile and an abundance of butt wiggles. Like most puppies, he's energetic, playful, curious, and eager to explore the world around him. He'll thrive in an active household that can provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation throughout the day, plus the routine, guidance, and structure all developing puppies need to mature into the best adult dogs they can be. Colby loves toys, playing fetch, playing in water and chasing the hose & sprinkler on warm days, other dogs, and being close to his humans. He is crate trained and making excellent progress with his housebreaking when on a regular schedule. Colby has had a good start and a solid foundation but is still a young dog learning the ropes who just needs a little polishing work. Potential adopters should be willing and prepared to continue working with him on house training and basic manners. He's very clever, very food-motivated, engaging, and eager to please, which makes training sessions enjoyable and fun. Colby is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and started on monthly flea and heartworm. He's a healthy, happy fella ready to get out and explore the world and all it has to offer. All he's missing is a family to share his love with. Interested in meeting this cutie patootie? Colby is fostered in Chicago, and meetings are by appointment once an adoption application is submitted and approved. His adoption fee is $475 and helps to cover his neuter and medical care needed to prepare him for adoption. *For more information or to apply, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit our website at palsplacerescue.org. Correspondence from the rescue may end up in spam or junk folders. Please check these folders regularly if waiting for a response. *All of our dogs reside in foster homes, and meetings are arranged by appointment only after our adoption application has been completed and approved. *Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for more than three days after an application has been approved, and we have reached out to schedule a meeting. Please do not apply to adopt unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. *ADOPTION APPLICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE RESCUE MAY END UP IN YOUR SPAM OR JUNK FOLDER. If you are waiting for our reply, please check those folders regularly.
