Story
Bruce Springsteen is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Bruce Springsteen didn’t earn his name by accident—this fella lives like he’s headlining a sold-out arena every single day. Long-legged and lean, he’s got that unmistakable rockstar silhouette, often spotted mid–“encore nap” with his legs kicked up in the air or poking out from under a blanket like he just dove offstage and disappeared into the crowd. He’s got a quirky sense of humor, a laid-back stage presence, and the kind of cool confidence that comes from knowing he’s already stolen the show.Behind the swagger, Bruce is the ultimate professional. Thought to be around 9-years old, he’s fully house trained, doesn’t need a crate, and can handle solo time like a seasoned touring artist between gigs—no drama, no destruction, just smooth sailing. He rarely barks, preferring to keep things low-key unless there’s a good reason to make noise. And when it comes to fans? He’s easy to handle, totally scoopable, and always ready for a little attention from his inner circle.Of course, every rock legend has a weakness—and for Bruce, it’s treats. He’ll gladly be the best boy in the world if there’s a tasty reward involved, working the room with charm and good behavior to earn every bite. He’s intrigued by other dogs, especially ones his size or smaller, and would likely enjoy a chill bandmate or two. While he’s more “late-night lounge act” than “kid-friendly matinee,” in the right home, Bruce Springsteen is ready to bring loyalty, laughs, and a whole lot of rock & roll heart to his forever stage.Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.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 dog’s 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.

Story
Wakanda came from a local hoarding situation. Due to this they do require a fenced yard as well as another dog in the home.  Wakanda is one of the pups rescued from the Wauconda hoarding case and is just beginning to discover how good life can be. Wakanda tends to warm up more quickly to women and is still learning to trust men. He’s working with a trainer to help build confidence and ease his protective streak. While he’s still figuring things out, his sweet side is shining through more each day. He loves spending time outside, so a securely fenced yard is a must for this curious explorer. He’d do best in a quiet home with older kids who understand that trust takes time. With patience, love, and continued training, Wakanda is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.    Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2460452##

Story
Sweet Anna is one of the girls from the "frozen litter" that was surrendered to rescue at 6 weeks old. We were allowed to spay her mom before returning to her family. Both parents are under 15lbs. She is a spunky little girl now looking for her own family. She has been completely vetted and microchipped. She is pee pad trained and just started house training. She will need a family that is will to continue to work with her training and understands puppies can be a lot of work. She will make a wonderful addition to any family. She is fostered in Knoxville TN, but transportation to a location near you is provided by Rescue Riders LLC and is included in the adoption fee.
