Story
Larry is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Larry is a tender-hearted senior gentleman with a quiet resilience that shines through in everything he does. After a difficult past, he’s still choosing love—and he’s hoping to find someone who will choose him right back. Fully housetrained and wonderfully well-mannered, Larry will gently come find you and give you that knowing look when he needs something. He doesn’t require a crate and does beautifully when left alone, especially when he feels safe and secure in his environment.This charming little companion is happiest right by your side. He’ll follow you from room to room, checking in often, and happily settling nearby for a nap. Larry adores the outdoors—whether it’s lounging by the door, relaxing on a deck, or enjoying a few short, leisurely walks each day. Though his hearing isn’t the best, he stays closely attuned to his person, taking cues from your presence and routine. He gets along well with other dogs and shows a gentle curiosity toward them, and he’s proven to be a polite, easygoing house guest.Larry can be a bit sensitive—both physically and emotionally—so he’s looking for a calm, adult home where he can continue to build trust at his own pace. He may be shy at first, especially around taller men or in new situations, but with patience and kindness, his affectionate, cuddly nature blossoms. He doesn’t enjoy being picked up, but once he’s comfortable, he absolutely loves being close and soaking up gentle attention. Sweet, loyal, and deeply devoted, Larry is the kind of companion who will quietly steal your heart and stay there.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. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

Story
Snickers is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Snickers is the perfect little candy bar companion—soft on the outside, sweet all the way through, and guaranteed to make your day better. At 7 years old, this Shih Tzu snack is the definition of “mellow milk chocolate energy,” with a gooey caramel center full of love. He’s a chill, affectionate boy who lives for belly rubs, leisurely walks, and soaking up sunshine like a treat left on a windowsill. Friendly and kind, Snickers is the type of pup who melts right into your life and quickly becomes your favorite daily indulgence.Like any good treat, Snickers has his preferences—he *strongly* dislikes the crate (like wrapper crinkle panic), so he’s happiest when given freedom and comfort instead. He’s doing well with house training when kept on a consistent routine, and he’s a low-key companion indoors, happily napping in his dog bed or wandering in and out of his space. He’s not big on toys, but he is big on outdoor time and strolls around the neighborhood. Bonus: he’s not bothered by squirrels or birds, so walks stay nice and peaceful.Socially, Snickers is a gentle, nougat-soft soul. He’s done well with dogs his size—playful but polite, with a submissive, easygoing vibe. While he hasn’t been around kids yet, his calm and friendly nature suggests he’ll likely do well with respectful ones. He’s comfortable being handled overall, though he prefers a little sensitivity around his tail area. Still learning his commands (he’ll “sit” when the mood strikes), Snickers is less about obedience and more about connection. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady companion with just the right amount of caramel charm, Snickers is ready to be your everyday treat. 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.
