Story
At only a year old, Annie has already been breeding. Now, at Famous Fido Rescue, she is leaving that all behind and has had her final litter. Her former guardians were unable to care for her after going through divorce, and so Annie landed in our care. She has an especially sweet and friendly disposition and is particularly bonded with a dog she was surrendered with named Brian. We would love if the two of them could find their forever home together.

Story
Chloe is as sweet as can be and absolutely loves people! At around 10 lbs, she’s the perfect little companion. However, Chloe does have some difficulty getting along with other animals, which is why her former family made the decision to surrender her. Chloe would thrive in a home where she can be the only animal. If you’re planning on having just one dog, Chloe is definitely worth meeting! She loves belly rubs, being cradled in a lap, and taking leisurely strolls.

Story
Meet Booloo, a 2-year-old Shih Tzu Terrier mix with soulful eyes that tell a story of heartbreak and resilience. Booloo’s life was turned upside down when his guardian was tragically murdered, leaving him traumatized and without a place to call home. Now in our care, Booloo needs a very patient and understanding guardian to help him heal. He is good around other dogs but not comfortable around children, making him best suited for an adult-only home. Booloo needs a calm and serene environment where he can decompress and slowly learn to trust again. With the right person by his side, Booloo has the potential to blossom into the loving and loyal companion he’s meant to be. If you have the compassion and dedication to offer Booloo the second chance he so desperately needs, he could be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
Lotus is being fostered in PA. 9/14/2024 Lotus has had her dental surgery and is noticeably happier since having 12 teeth removed. She is now eating kibble soaked in water and is a little spoiled so her foster mom mixes some canned food with it. Her blood work was very good and the best news is that she did not need surgery to open up her ears from the untreated infections she had in the past. Her ears were able to be cleaned out very well while sedated and she came home on oral antibiotics and ear drops for 10 days. Lotus is extremely sweet and insists on sleeping in bed with her foster mom which is fine because she’s a perfect pup to sleep with. She continues to do fine with the other dogs and cats in her foster home but will bark at the two younger dogs if they get in her face when they are playful. She does not want to play and doesn’t appreciate dogs in her face but she is perfect being in with the mix of foster siblings when they just let her alone. Lotus is a sweet, slightly timid but gentle petite and spry little girl who has a beautiful light gray with dark gray soft coat of fur. She has dry eye and significant ear infections that are still being treated in her foster home. She will need drops for her eyes but the over the counter drops are working well for her eyes right now. She will be having dental surgery on September 11th and the veterinarian will decide then if she needs any procedures done to her ears to open the canals at that time. They are very painful right now and it is impossible to get a good look deep inside. An update will be posted after her surgery on the 11th. She lives with several other smaller dogs, one larger dog and two cats and does very well with all of them. She is indifferent with them all and just wants to be where her foster mom is. She is very good with her house manners and has learned to follow her foster mom to the door to go outside and can find her way around the fenced yard and back up onto the porch. She does not tolerate being in a crate or confined area and will bark constantly. She does wonderfully when she has free roam of the house during the day when her mom is at work. She will beg to get onto her foster mom's lap during tv time at night and nuzzles in quickly to nap. Aside from being just a tiny bit skittish, she is a perfect little girl with a sweet personality. Lotus may need eye drops for the duration and we are not yet sure about her ears although they are improving nicely. After years of chronic and untreated infections, it's not a surprise that it may take some time to get her ears back to healthy but her hearing may not improve. She does have issues hearing but she can hear some, and the same can be said about her vision, although she seems to see better than she hears. She has slight cataracts and some of the vision problems could be caused from chronic and untreated dry eye. It needs to be said that she is very stubborn when it comes to getting her eye drops and ear meds in at this time. We are hopeful that as the discomfort in her ears improves and she learns to associate positives (treats given) before and after administration of her meds, that she will learn to be more calm during her medicine time of day. She does not bite but is a huge wiggle worm and can pull out of any trick or grip her foster mom has tried. She is a joy to have as a foster dog and adjusted quickly to her foster home. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

No Micky is on the hunt for a forever family that won't let him down. Mickey is a very gentle boy that loves everyone. He is pretty quiet, happy to take long naps in between wandering around the yard, sitting on a deck or taking a walk. He is also happy to nap with you and the family cat! He is quiet and always hoping yummy food might drop his way. He gets along with everyone. He was pee pad trained which might be helpful. We estimate he is 14ish..

Story
BONDED PAIR, MUST ADOPT BOTH Hi. I'm Bitzee, a 9 y/o golden/white female shitsu. I'm part of a bonded pair with my 13 y/o chi mix Judah Chase. You see, our owner had to go into hospice care and it broke her heart to give us up. She made the rescue lady promise to adopt us together as we have always lived in the same household and don't know any different. My brother and I get along very well and it is kind of like getting 2 for the price of 1. I am currently about 4 pounds overweight ( currently 14 pounds) but foster Mom is diligently working on that with me. Despite being overweight, I am playful and like to go for walks. I had previously lived in an apartment and hadn't been able to get much exercise because of my owner's health. I had been going potty on potty pads but am now learning to go outside through the doggy door. My brother has already mastered the doggy door and I should soon. I like to go for car rides and am kennel trained. I am able to be kept unkenneled without being destructive and am not a huge barker. I am extremely loyal and like to follow my human around. I am good with children and other small dogs. It is unknown as to how I would do with large dogs or cats since foster mom doesn't have either. So, if you are interested in a bonded pair of small dogs, have your peeps contact my peeps and let's get this love fest started. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Introducing BOGIE, a Bichon Frise & Shih Tzu cross breed who is just over a year old, weighing approximately 12 pounds. Bogie is a very sweet boy that was rescued from a puppy-mill breeder when he was “too old” to sell. While in foster care these past few months, Bogie has learned what love and kindness is and now seeks it out from his foster mom. Bogie does not have a mean bone in his body and really craves a gentle touch/pet because he finally feels safe. Bogie now follows his foster mom around, especially when outside in the yard, and feels safe enough to come when called. He has even started playing and having fun, doing the “zoomies” in the yard, and truly looking so happy. This past month Bogie has decided it's pretty comfy to lay on his foster mom’s stomach while she watches T.V.. His recovery from his horrible first year of life has been remarkable and we are so happy for him. Because Bogie can be skittish, he requires a calm household, securely fenced yard and another friendly dog in the home who will continue to mentor Bogie’s rehabilitation. He is approved for adult households. Bogie enjoys the companionship of other dogs but more importantly he gets his confidence from them, learning more typical dog behavior. Bogie has good home manners and is housebroken. He is such a great little dog whose future is so bright! This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, provided vaccines, been dewormed, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped. Our online application is not functioning currently; therefore ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.   We apologize for the inconvenience. 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.     September 11, 2024, 1:30 pm

***In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society's physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Leo has Anxiety, especially from load noises and car ride. Leo grew up in a quiet countryside. He didn't interact with other dogs or people most of his life. City life is new to him but his adjusting well. Leo is the best fur baby anyone can ask for. I have had Leo all his life of ten years since he was five months old. I will love to find him a loving home, where he can be loved and spoiled as his use to. Preferably a home with no kids or other animals like dogs or cats. But I believe he can be trained to get along with others, but definitely not a big dog. Leo loves to chase wildlife, his favorite place is off the leash in a big field, where he can run wild and free. Leo like to play big football, is a talent of his, he loves squeaky toys. Leo gives kisses, shakes, sit and rollover. Leo is the sweetest and loving smart boy.Please reach out to Annakiwenski@yahoo.com for more information.
