Story
Cassie June—CJ for short—is a sweet, gentle 4-year-old cuddlebug who’s ready to steal your heart! With her quiet nature and calm energy, she’s the perfect little shadow who just wants to be near her people.CJ loves snuggling and belly rubs. Her favorite time of day is her goodnight kisses, after which she feels most comfortable sleeping at the foot of her person`s bed. Although she is still learning the ropes of house training, she is improving every day. She most likely was never taught, so she just needs someone patient to cheer her on! Toys were a totally new concept to her at first, but now she has favorites and plays with adorable enthusiasm. She rarely barks, but when she spots a squirrel or decides it’s bedtime, she lets out the cutest little reminders!CJ strolls beautifully on a leash (will pull when she sees a squirrel friend) and naps peacefully when left alone, no crate needed. Car rides make her a bit shaky, likely from her past, but with love and reassurance she’ll gain more confidence. CJ is a loving companion who’s eager to blossom in a home where she can feel safe, cherished, and adored! 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.

Story
Ebony and Ivory are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together.Ebony (14 lbs.) and Ivory (8 lbs.) were local strays. They were in terrible shape when found and horribly matted.Now that these sweet girls are safe with AHF, they`re looking and feeling so much better. Ivory loves to cuddle, and Ebony is more playful but loves cuddling too. They`re both very loving. We think Ivory is a maltese mix and Ebony may be a schnauzer/shih tzu mix.Both girls walk on leash. They do not get crated when their foster leaves the house and do fine confined to a large room. They get along with the other dogs in their foster home and have been friendly with kids they`ve met at adoption events. Ebony seems potty trained and Ivory is mostly; she`ll sometimes use potty pads if they`re out for other pups.If you have room in your heart and home for Ebony and Ivory, please fill out an application so you can meet them and learn more.Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Hi, I’m Scruffy the little dog with a big attitude and an even bigger comeback story. Before rescue, I was a local stray fending for myself, and honestly? It shows. My fur was one giant matted disaster, and I had to be completely shaved down just to start over. Physically, I felt better right away. Emotionally? …Yeah, not so much. That messy coat was basically my armor, and suddenly I felt way too exposed for my liking.So yes, I can be a little… particular. I don’t love being touched by people I don’t know, and I’m not the type to pretend I like you right away just to be polite. I need time, space, and someone who doesn’t take it personally when I act like a tiny grumpy old man trapped in a cute dog body. ??BUT once I decide you’re cool? I trot around with my proud little prance, I’m great on walks, I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I coexist just fine with other dogs who respect that I am, in fact, the main character.I’m not here for chaotic homes or tiny humans who want to squeeze me. I need an adult or older-kid household that appreciates a dog with boundaries, confidence, and a little bit of spice. If you’re looking for a super clingy lap dog, that’s not me. If you want a loyal companion with personality, charm, and just the right amount of attitude? I might be your guy.Spicy boys deserve love too.??Almost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Iggy is a sweet little guy, a Shih Tzu / Toy Poodle Mix, weighing in at about 9 lbs. He is thought to be 5 years old. Iggy is an absolute perfect boy. He loves everyone. And also really enjoys being with dogs his own size; larger dogs may scare him. He is playful and active, loving and cuddly. His favorite activities including playing with toys, fetching and chasing toys for hours, leash walking (harness please!) and hanging out with his people and other small dogs. An ideal family for Iggy is one with plenty of time to spend with him! And, a willingness to buy him plenty of new toys! A moderately active household appears idea for Iggy’s balance of playfulness and calm. Small dog experience is important for an awareness of the challenges facing small dogs (coyotes, hawks, easily escaping). A secure fenced yard (above ground) is also a big advantage. Iggy is fully vetted and in overall good health. However he may be slightly visually impaired but you’d never know it. He has recently visited an ophthalmologist and currently requires eye drops…which he is not too happy about. If you are interested in adding Iggy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or call 847-852-0895. NOTE that BAARK is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago, and adopts only local to our area.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pickles.  This social little guy has a history as a neighborhood explorer! He was found running loose in a subdivision, charming everyone he met. Much like his fellow canine adventurers, he was rescued multiple times, but his determination to roam led him to cleverly dig his way out of every yard he was placed in. He is eager to trade his escaping days for a secure yard and a forever family who can give him the attention and secure environment he craves. Pickles is a true social butterfly who thrives on human interaction and affection. He promises to be a delightful addition to any family. He was born around 12/03/2024 and weighs 14.9 pounds.  During his vet visit, it was noted that he has a Grade 1 heart murmur, which is the mildest form of the condition and is easily manageable. This little diagnosis hasn't slowed him down one bit! If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who is full of life and personality, Pickles is your perfect match. His adoption fee is $400. You can apply to bring this sweet boy home today at www.adoggie4you.org. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
