Story
Oliver arrived as a breeder release and is a nice, middle aged guy that will enjoy your company!  He is estimated to be 7 years old and between 19-20lbs. He is sweet and is a great size for smaller residences and is very quiet! He can be a little shy at first, but does warm up.  He has not been around small children, so kids in the home should be older and have previous dog experience. Oliver is house and crate trained and will even nap in his open crate during the day. He has mastered walking up and down stairs, is progressing with walking on a leash and gets along with other dogs, but cats are unknown.  He is a very low-maintenance boy that has a healthy appetite and will be a super companion!  We recommend obedience training for all pups and dogs!        **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                                      If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (       www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adult dog adoption donations start at: $300 (cash only) Puppy adoption donations start at: $360 (cash only) Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation.     Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application.

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
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.     July 25, 2024, 5:43 pm

Story
BONDED PAIR. This is a bonded pair so we are only adopting them together.      These handsome boys are FRANKIE and FUDDIE, 4 year old, Shih Tzu/Maltese mixes who would enjoy a more mellow household. Frankie, the larger of the two dogs, weighs 15 pounds, and Fuddie weighs 10 ½ pounds. Fuddie lost his eye to an injury and infection years ago. Frankie and Fuddie have a soft, non-shedding type coat that will require grooming every 12 weeks or so, along with bi-weekly brushing. Frankie loves to play with the other dogs in his foster home as well as Fuddie; on the other hand, Fuddie is more shy and only plays with Frankie but he seeks out his foster mom for attention and cuddling.      Frankie and Fuddie’s senior owner took ill and could no longer care for the boys so he asked our rescue for help. They have been living in a foster home with several other dogs and seem to be wonderful little dogs who are easy to love. They are housebroken and have good house manners.          Frankie and Fuddie would do best with a fenced yard for potty breaks, and an adopter who would enjoy taking them on daily walks for exercise. These dogs have been examined by licensed veterinarians, been provided vaccines, been dewormed, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped.

Story
Alumni Super Sweet Senior, Mickey Seeking A Forever Home! Poor Mickey! Through no fault of his own he has had at least 4 homes! We found him in 2016 at a community free access shelter at the height of the canine flu! Not only was that a strike against bim but he had broken toes and was next in line to the euth room. We got him our in the nick of time. We covered his medical care. He improved, and healed and landed a lovely new Mom. Sadly Coved him and his mom passed. The family sent Mickey to live with a family friend that adored him. Sadly, his new Mom fell ill and needed to relinquish him to us. 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.. He is a healthy fella although has had some allergy issues in the past and recovered IVDD. Mickey is fully vetted, He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative, His adoption donation is $450.00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family, Little Dogs can live to be 25 years old so he wants to be sure al for better or for worse! We adopt in the local Chicago metro area.
