Story
Sally has become a healthy chunk of a pittie and enjoys car rides, cuddles on the couch and being with her Doberman besties. She is playful and goofy, showing a young age (Vets guessed 3 years old). Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm treated - she is ready for adoption just in time for Fall. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee includes fee by van transport to PNW, Midwest or NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT states by pet transport partners.

She was underweight and her ribs could easily be seen. She was heartworm positive and her belly showed evidence of having had puppies in her past. Dogs we find abandoned in Texas are not broken, mean or undeserving, just homeless. Humans have failed them. Sally trusts people and knows sit, shake and down. Sally takes her treats and meals gently with no guarding. She is playing enthusiastically with two large Dobermans who have taught her that being extra affectionate or ‘velcro’ is ok and expected at this house.

Petunia

American Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young
Villa Park, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Petunia is around 3 years old. She came from TX to a shelter in Portland, Oregon, where my son adopted her. He lives in a very busy area, a lot of foot traffic. Petunia has anxiety - she is scared of strangers, cars, outside noises (when she is outside) so taking her for walks was/is a challenge. In Portland, she enjoyed visits to dog parks and played well with other dogs. She came to me in October 2024 as both my son and I thought she would thrive in a suburban setting with a back yard to alleviate her anxiety on walks. She has a congenital condition where lymphatic fluid pools in her right front leg. This is stable. She is not a dog who cuddles, she is more like a cat - she comes to you when she wants attention. She loves to fetch, but doesn't always bring it back. She is vigilant and spends hours looking out the window at all that is happening in the neighborhood, She needs to be the only pet in the house.

Female, Adult
Villa Park, IL
Size

Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
To know Nina is to love Nina! She is the sweetest gal, she loves love! Nina has been with us for 5 years and is a ball of love! Nina has many wonderful qualities, I believe she would thrive better in a home that she will receive all the time and attention that she deserves. She is approximately 5 years old, spayed, house trained. She is loving, affectionate with people, and enjoys walks, cuddles, car rides, etc. Nina has lived with a small dog and cat; however we feel with an experienced adopter she may be open to gain more social skills with other furfriends. She has some anxiety and would love a solo owner but under the right circumstance and being well managed; we think she can flourish! We would prefer a family that is an experienced dog owner. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to continue providing the environment she requires, which is why I am reaching out for assistance. I want to ensure she has the best possible chance at a safe and happy life.

Story
Paddington is such a teddy bear with his cool brindle coat and soft eyes!   He was found as a local stray and never claimed. He is approximately 1-1.5 years old and weighs between 55-60lbs.   Foster Update: Paddington is a nice boy that is crate trained and seems to be house broke too. He can be a little shy at first but as soon as he knows you're ok, he is a lover! He is quiet and walks well on a leash, eats well, takes treats in a proper manner and knows a few commands like give paw and even tries to sit up! He is good with other dogs that do not get into his face, so proper introductions are needed but no cats for this guy.    We recommend obedience training for all 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. Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. October 18, 2025, 7:37 pm

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This cutie is Dixie, a 6 year old, 50 pound Pit Bull mix who is short in stature, and as sweet as pie with a little bit of spunk thrown in. Dixie loves giving kisses, really enjoys going for walks, playing with toys, and exploring and relaxing in the fenced in yard. Dixie warms up quickly to women and older children. When excited, she’ll get the zoomies and make the cutest noises. Dixie has been playful with most of the dogs in her foster home; she would be OK as the “one and only” dog in the home. She has good house manners and does not need to be crated when left alone.  Dixie came to our rescue after a neglectful owner kept her in the basement as a “breeding machine” for years. Despite that horrible existence, it did not affect her from being one of the sweetest little dogs. She will make a great addition to most households and is approved for households with children over the age of 10.  This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, provided inoculations, been tested for disease, had a blood panel run (healthy), been dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request at acaringplace@comcast.netA 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.

Story
Louie, Louie, Louie. We absolutely love this guy! He is big. He is fun. And, best of all, he is loyal. Louie, a very sweet American Bully mix, is about 2 years old, 75 pounds, and sports a cropped tail. Louie is a happy-go-lucky dog who craves human attention, love, and companionship. He very much wants to please his human. Louie would benefit from an adopter who will not only give him love and kindness, but also guidance and training to improve his overall use of basic commands. He is very treat and toy motivated which is a bonus.  Louie seems to like pretty much everyone and seems to settle easily into the home. He loves to run around and play in a fenced yard, so a secure yard is a must for him. Louie is very strong and will need some additional training on the leash due to pulling from excitement. This dog is best suited as an only dog. Louie is housebroken and crate trained and is approved for households with adults and children over the age of 12;  he could easily knock young children over due to his enthusiasm. Louie will make an amazing loyal companion to the right family.  This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped.

Story
Betsy is a FUN dog who loves to be with other dogs, maternal and bouncy. She is not aggressive or bossy but does have a bark and her terrier DNA comes out when meeting new smaller dogs. She has spent most of her time with bigger dogs and enjoys being the 'shortie' of the playgroup. Betsy is not food motivated, nibbles through the day, but has managed to become a bit fluffy. 50 lb dog now, she loves car rides, water! and sunbathing. Betsy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and very health - a bit fluffy as she has matured, now 4 years old. Her breed had been a guess until now! a donated DNA test revealed the classic Houston mutt mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, Lab, Boxer, German Shepherd, Shar Pei, Chow Chow. She is a short dog with medium double coat and a sharp mind.

She was transferred to Caffeinated Canine for a spay and adoption placement. She has been fostered with kids, other dogs and in a house/apartment. She is crate trained and loves routine - literally bounces up and down, runs outside then back into her crate to nap. She would benefit from a yard due to her energy.
