Story
Hi, I’m Abe Lincoln. I’ve been told I’m a pretty special guy—calm, well-mannered, and easy to live with.I’m very much a creature of routine. It took me a few days to settle into eating in my foster home, but once my bowl was moved closer to the dining table, everything clicked. Now I happily eat whenever my people sit down for meals or snacks. I like being part of the action.Every morning starts the same way: I go out to the enclosed backyard to take care of business, then I come back inside and wait patiently by the refrigerator for my treat. That said, if you sit on the couch and call me over, I’ll choose snuggles over snacks every time.I love my dog bed so much that I have two of them. During the day, I like to relax downstairs, keeping an eye on things. At night, I head upstairs and sleep peacefully in whichever bedroom my bed is in. I’m flexible, as long as I’m comfortable and close by.I spend time with my foster`s three-and-a-half-year-old grandson, who visits often. He’s loud and still learning how to be gentle, but I’m endlessly patient with him. There’s a lot of activity in my foster home—people coming and going throughout the day—and I handle it well. I’ll bark to let you know someone’s at the door, but once they’re inside, I just want to sniff their fingers and say hello. After that, I’m completely at ease. The neighborhood kids even stop by to take me for walks.I do have a strong interest in squirrels—they’re very exciting, and I’ll bark and try to chase them. I’ve also noticed that when visitors come in with big, busy energy, I naturally gravitate toward them, nudging them for pets until they calm down. I seem to have a talent for helping people relax.I don`t have any other canine companions in my foster home. While I may bark at other dogs, I did live with a small senior dog in my prior home, and I have met bigger dogs before and have done well with a proper introduction. My ideal home is one where someone is present most of the time—whether that’s a family, a couple, or a single person who works from home or has a flexible schedule. I do well in active households with visitors and kids, as long as they’re kind. I appreciate routine, a cozy place to rest, and people who enjoy companionship as much as I do. A fenced yard is a bonus (especially for squirrel watching), but not required if I get regular walks and attention. I thrive with structure, positive reinforcement, and gentle leader

Story
These seven pups were brought to one of our partners as an unwanted litter after their family could no longer care for them. These puppies are friendly, smart, and eager to please. They have started leash training and are doing very well. During their time with us, they have gotten along great with our staff, volunteers, and other dogs. They co-house peacefully and enjoy both playtime and settling in for quiet moments.Two of the pups recently attended an adoption event and absolutely loved meeting new people—they soaked up the attention and handled the busy environment beautifully.They would do well in an active home, with a yard to explore, or with families that have older children. These pups are ready to start their new lives and would make wonderful companions for a variety of households.THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

Story
“Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you…”Maggie Mae might just steal your heart before the song’s even through! With her scruffy black coat and soulful eyes, this lovable girl is equal parts sweetness and spunk. She’s a “wanna-be lap dog” who believes every couch, chaise, and heart has room for one more cuddle.Maggie’s the kind of gal who’ll follow you from room to room just to be near you—whether you’re sipping coffee or working from home, she’ll be your loyal little roadie. She’s learning her house manners (she’ll whine or pace by the door when nature calls) and settles nicely in her crate after a few minutes of protest—because even rock stars need their beauty sleep.Outdoors, Maggie loves to romp and chase the other dogs, though she’s still figuring out the whole “fetch” concept. She barks at birds, squirrels, or the occasional doorbell like she’s announcing her next big single, but she’s working hard on learning her “quiet” cue.Maggie gets along well with dogs, adores gentle kids, and loves being petted more than anything. She’s a slow grazer at mealtime and prefers a little company while she eats—because dinner’s better with good vibes.She may not have mastered guitar solos, but she’s nailed “sit” and “go potty.” What she’s really hoping to learn next? The rhythm of a forever home that keeps her tail wagging and her heart full.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.

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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Goldie's journey began on the tough streets of San Antonio, where he was spotted for months, cautiously begging for food just to survive.

He has learned to trust his caregivers and his true, loving personality is emerging. While he has made incredible strides, he is still cautious around new strangers and will need a family willing to earn his trust with patience, kindness, and time. Goldie is looking for a quiet, stable home where he can continue to build confidence and feel secure. The reward for your patience will be the unwavering love and loyalty of this special boy. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This resilient poodle born around 10/2/2017 has been through a lot but is now ready for a loving home. Found on the streets with one of the worst cases of matting we’ve ever seen, his hair was so long it touched the ground. Sadly, neighborhood kids threw rocks at him as he ran through the streets, terrified and alone. It took an experienced trapper to safely bring him to our facility, where he arrived shaking and too scared to be touched by anyone. However, with time, patience, and care, he has blossomed into a wonderful companion. He now enjoys daily walks, loves being pet, gets the excitement zoomies, and gets along well with other dogs. He is a laid-back boy who especially gets excited for his leash time, happily joining other dogs on walks. Due to his past, he will need a home to give him patience to gain his trust. Once he has your trust, he will be your shadow and want nothing but love. He seems to be potty/house trained, as he will wait to use the bathroom when he gets walked. Fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, this sweet poodle is ready to find his forever home. His adoption fee is $300. Marley weighs around 20 pounds.   Could you be the one to give him the love he deserves?  Marley is currently in Texas, but transport is available to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, or anywhere along the East Coast. Please note that an additional transport fee of $225 applies. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 5, 2025, 11:01 am
