Story
Ciao! I’m Gorgonzola. I’m pretty sure I got my name because of my awesome cheesy smile. My foster parents say I’m a very goofy boy!There are plenty of reasons to be happy. I love people, including children, and other dogs. I’m still a puppy, so I’m still learning about only chewing on things that are mine and not jumping up on people. I have completely mastered going outside to potty. Outside is actually my favorite place - I enjoy sunbathing in the grass and chasing balls in the yard. Instead of following fetch rules, I think “keep away” is a much more fun game. I do know a few commands like sit, down and paw, and I do a good job of walking on a leash with a freedom harness. During the day, you can find me hanging out on the couch with my canine friends. I settle down quickly at night in my crate. When my foster parents are around, I think they are constantly ready to play with me - why not? I’m so sweet - surely they can’t resist me.Do you need an energetic, fun loving pup in your life? I’m your guy. Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Coal is a 4-year-old Pit Bull with the energy of burning charcoal, always fired up for play and adventure. He`s an avid frisbee enthusiast and carries his favorite red disc with him everywhere he goes. He loves going on long walks and playing fetch at the park, or getting a drink at the water fountain. When he`s not chasing frisbees or going for walks, Coal loves to relax in the sun. He`ll often be found sunbathing in the yard, soaking up the rays.While Coal loves to play and run, he also knows how to relax. He`s a gentle giant who loves to snuggle on the couch. He makes for a great heater when these fall days start to get chilly! He`s been great with other dogs, including the resident senior male pit mix and a young female basset hound. He`s especially fond of playing tug-of-war and chase with his foster sister.This handsome boy is eager to please and has mastered a variety of commands and tricks, including sit, down, heel, off, paw, place, settle, and speak, especially when there`s peanut butter involved. He`s also crate trained and enjoys his nightly wind-downs in his cozy crate.Coal is a people-pleaser, but his enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of him. We think he`d do best with older kids who can handle his playful energy. He`s looking for an active family who can provide him with plenty of exercise and love.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Hello! My name is Sunny – it was the name given to me by the kind Chicago police sergeant who came to my aid after the neighbors reported seeing someone toss me from a car. I was left behind but found a small girl and her nice Mom to play with in the park while I was waiting for a rescuer. That nice officer realized I was pregnant with puppies and reached out to some rescues and CDR stepped up to the plate! I found a great foster home that supported me and took amazing care of me and my adorable TWELVE puppies! Now that they have gotten old enough to find homes of their own….it’s MY TURN to find my furever home! I am a perfect short-stacked, medium-sized pup, weighing just about 45 pounds. I am house-trained, crate-trained, and GREAT with kids. I also walk really well on a leash with just a little bit of re-direction. I have had the chance to meet a couple of dogs while on my rescue journey and while I’ve done ok, I tend to be a little picky about other dogs in my space. So, a home would do best in a home as an only pup! I can be a little slow to warm up to men, but with some patience and of course, a steady stream of treats never hurts. A male/female couple with no kids might work but I can get a little protective of kids around men. No offense to men, but my foster mom says if I could find an all-female household with or without kids and as an only dog that would be a perfect fit for me! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a preadoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quickly as they can! Cuddles and tail wags-Sunny

He has lots of energy and would benefit from a loving family who will invest in lots of playtime. We are still getting to know this sweet boy, but he can't wait to find a perfect family to call his own.
