Juniper is an approximately 10-month-old Akita mix who is just about as sweet as they come! This beautiful girl is loving, playful, smart, and incredibly affectionate.

When playtime is over, she is more than happy to soak up some attention from her people. Start petting her and she’ll lean her whole body right into you like, “Yep… keep doing that.” Juniper has also passed her cat test! She is a young, happy girl with so much love to give and would make an amazing addition to a family looking for a sweet, playful companion. Juniper is spayed, microchipped and fully vetted, including Rabies, Distemper/DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. She has also received heartworm preventatives and deworming.

Story
Hi friends — my name is Falkor, and even though I can’t see the world, I still think it’s a pretty wonderful place. 🤍 I’m estimated to be around 4 years old, and I was found as a stray at a local animal control where I really needed someone to notice me and help me get out safely. Thankfully, rescue stepped in and gave me that chance. I’m blind, and the humans think I was probably born this way. But honestly? I don’t let it slow me down much at all. Once I learn my surroundings, I move around just fine and live life like any other dog. I use my nose, my ears, and my heart to guide me. I’m also heartworm positive right now, but the good news is my rescue is covering my treatment so I can get healthy. What I really need now is a family willing to see past my medical stuff and realize I’m just a happy, loving dog who wants to belong somewhere. Being blind doesn’t make me broken. It just means I experience the world differently. I still love soft beds, kind voices, gentle pets, and feeling safe beside my people. I’ve spent enough time being overlooked. I’m ready for a home where I’ll never have to wonder if I’m wanted again. Maybe you could be my eyes… and I could be your best friend. 🐾 apply at www.bigdogsdontcry.com

Limburger is currently living at Chicago Canine Rescue! Please head over to our website (chicagocaninerescue.org) to fill out a quick adoption survey to learn more about the process and schedule an intro.Up to date on vaccines: Yes! (for their age)Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalizedHousebroken: Still learning!Crate trained: Working on it!Leash walking: Does well.Dog social: Does well!Cat social: UnknownKid friendly: Unknown, but we suspect he`d do well with respectful kids, given his young ageLimburger likes:- Training time (he already knows `sit` and `leave it`!)- High-value treats (they work like magic to get his focus)- Showing off his unique chocolate coat and speckled chest frecklesLimburger likes:- Exploring the neighborhood on nice, steady walks- Getting your full attention (he loves to stay close!)- Investigating interesting smells along the sidewalkLimburger is an absolute delight on the leash! He is a calm, steady walker who completely ignores passing people and other dogs. He does have two funny quirks to look out for: he loves to inspect and try to pick up sidewalk trash, so his handler needs to keep an eye out for street debris. Also, if you stop moving, he likes to jump up on you for some quick attention, but he immediately stops and gets right back to business as soon as you keep walking.Stay tuned for details as we get to know them better! Limburger`s adoption fee is $350, and this wonderful boy is so excited to find a new best friend!

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
🩵 Player Spotlight: Wendy 🩵 Wendy’s story began when she was found on March 14 as one of 24 dogs living in an abandoned shop in Houston. She arrived at Ruff Draft on April 15 shy, uncertain, and overwhelmed by a world that was completely new to her. But over the last 5 months we’ve gotten to know the wonderfully weird, sweet and hilarious girl hiding underneath that uncertainty. 💦 Wendy LOVES water. Give this girl a kiddie pool and she’ll jump in, dunk herself completely underwater, roll around and live her absolute best life. 🫧 She recently discovered bubbles and has decided her new personal mission is catching every single one with her mouth. 🏅 She’s also quite the crate engineer. Wendy figured out that if she launches herself from one end of her crate to the other, she can actually scoot it across the floor until she reaches whatever has caught her attention. 😂 We HIGHLY recommend a sturdy crate without wheels for this girl! With frequent potty breaks, Wendy keeps her crate clean. She’s still a little shy when meeting someone new, but she warms up quickly and does wonderfully with kids of all ages, adults, and dogs of all sizes. And yes… she’s a Husky. She absolutely has opinions and will make sure you hear them when she’s displeased. Thankfully, she’s otherwise a pretty easygoing pup. Wendy has spent 156 days learning that people can be kind, pools are amazing, bubbles are meant to be eaten, and apparently crates can double as transportation. Now she needs to learn one more thing: What it feels like to finally go home. After 5 months, we think it’s Wendy’s turn to hear… “Congratulations, Wendy. You’ve been drafted onto your forever team.” 🩵🐾 Dogs First. Always.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luna is the kind of girl who’s ready to leave her stray days behind and settle into the safe, loved life she always deserved. Meet Luna, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois/Husky mix with a whole lot of heart and a fresh start ahead of her. Luna’s story started with a neighbor noticing her wandering loose and posting about her on Facebook. That’s when someone commented that this wasn’t the first time she had been found out as a stray. It turned out her original owner had left, and the person caring for her wasn’t able to keep her secure, so Luna kept getting out. Eventually, Luna’s original owner showed up and surrendered her to the family who had found her. They wanted to help, but with two senior dogs of their own, they weren’t in a position to keep her long term—so Luna made her way to us. Through all the instability, Luna has stayed a total love bug with people. She’s great with kids and absolutely loves attention. When it comes to canine teammates, Luna is dog selective. She may do well with the right dog, but introductions matter. Any potential forever home with resident dogs will be required to complete a meet-and-greet with all dogs currently drafted to the team, and an adoption trial will also be required to make sure everyone is truly comfortable together. One more scouting note: Luna is not recommended for homes with birds or squirrel companions. Her Husky/Malinois instincts are very much aware that those exist. 😂 Luna is ready to trade wandering for belonging and find the forever team that fits her best. 🐾 2 years old 🐾 Belgian Malinois/Husky mix 🐾 Great with kids 🐾 Dog selective 🐾 Resident-dog meet & greet required 🐾 Adoption trial required 🐾 Professional love bug 🐾 No birds or squirrel roommates, please Breed is our best guess based on physical traits and observed features and is never guaranteed.
