Meet Brownie and Elmo. Brownie was rescued off the streets of LA and sent to a rescue in Michigan. He was later found abandoned in a motel with Elmo. Neither one of the previous rescues were able to help these sweet boys so they came to us.

BROWNIE is about 7 years old and vetted. He is good with cats and dogs. He is very sweet and loves to sit next to you while you pet him.

Elmo is a young boy about 3 years old and vetted. He is very sweet and simply a good boy. He is also good with cats and dogs.

Thank you ABRA rescue for taking these boys into your rescue to help find them the home they deserve. Please share Brownie and Elmo. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Look at this handsome boy!

Bruce Wayne was rescued when his family left him outside and didn't want him anymore. Their loss is our gain. He waited patiently for a rescue and waited until his angels from ABRA rescue came along.

Thank you Amy Lynn with ABRA for never saying NO. He is with an awesome foster waiting for his new home. Please share BW so he can find the perfect home he deserves.

Missing Curtis one year later……..

A year ago today we lost our best friend, the most amazing animal advocate and someone with a heart of gold for both humans and animals. His kindness and generosity had no limits.

It has been a difficult year for us without him both in rescue and as a friend. His support and willingness to help any animal in need has been a huge loss for our Final Farewell family. The loss of his friendship has been unbearable.

For reasons we will never understand, he was taken from us too soon. The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said. They say there is a reason for everything and that time heals but neither reason nor time has helped us heal.

Curtis was loved so dearly and will be missed beyond what words can measure. He will always have a special place in our hearts and he has left behind so many memories to treasure.

Until we meet again, you will always be in our hearts. Our loss here on earth is heaven’s gain.

Hello! My name is Sugar. I'm 17 years old, fully vetted and front paw declawed. My mom was leaving for Japan and she took me to the vet to put me down because I had nowhere to go after she left. I had a guardian angel at the vets when a heart of gold vet tech saved my life. She contacted Final Farewell to help and now I am safe. I need a foster home or someone to give me a home I can spend my retirement days with. I'm very good and would be very grateful for a kind home. Please contact Final Farewell to help me.

TOBY FINDS A SPECIAL HOME!!

Poor Toby was found wondering around alone in Southern Illinois. He was weak, could barely stand, lost his hair from malnutrition and had a severe URI. Toby’s time was running out because of the seriousness of his condition and the fact that no one stepped up to help this poor boy. The shelter reached out to BAARK rescue and they immediately agreed to help. Toby’s journey began and prayers were needed for him to survive the long trip up to Chicago.
Once in our care, Toby was immediately taken to the clinic and Dr. Mirabella provided the best care for Toby. While recovering in his foster home, Toby had an angel following his story. A wonderful nurse, Beth Young, stepped up and wanted to adopt this sweet boy. Once Toby was better he made his way to his forever home. Today Toby’s days are filled with lots of love and good health. Thank you Beth for giving Toby a chance at a good life.

Please share Alley. She is deserving of a good home.

Alley would love a new home!!!!

Alley is up for adoption thru Final Farewell, Last Chance Rescue (Chicago, IL) and she about 6 years old (a guess). She was brought in as a stray to Chicago Animal Care & Control. She was skin and bones, had an upper respiratory infection, and a case of un-medicated diabetes. She had been wandering the streets alone, with no food, no medicine, and no love.

Now she has blossomed with her foster mom. At first, what she wanted most was love. And then to play! Strings and interactive toys are her favorite. Then food... which as it turns out, is her favorite. She even eats foster moms finger sometimes... and broccoli... and mashed potatoes. She’s very cuddly with humans.

She tolerates dogs and it only took her a few days to get used to the resident dog without hissing at her. I suspect if she lived with an overly energetic dog or one that messed with her, she would not be happy.

Alley likes to play with other friendly cats. If the other cats are territorial, she will defend herself but she has never been claws out. She is not typically the aggressor. She is very relaxed, but sometimes she’ll let out a little growl to let the territorial cat to leave her alone. She doesn’t mind loud noises and is super laid back.

In foster, Alley has put weight back on her bones, and her diabetes has become easily managed! She’s healthy and happy and is looking for a forever home, where she can relax and have a mom or dad who’ll keep her on her regular schedule. And where she can put her little wet nose to your face forever and forever.
Here is a great video her foster mom put together. https://drive.google.com/open?id=10MgyINk54enILB98F0w6C1sR-9-OcCsi

If Alley sounds like your kind of cat, please email Alley’s foster mom at [email protected]

UPDATE: Dante is SAFE!!!!

FOSTER NEEDED TO SAVE DANTE!!!! PLEASE SHARE!!

Dante has been sitting at Chicago's kill shelter for way too long. A foster is desperately needed to save his life. We have been asked to share his story in hopes of finding a foster.

Dante is a very handsome one year old. He doesn't deserve to die this young. He is good on a leash and listens to commands. If you can't foster, PLEASE share. Please contact [email protected] if you can help.

Albert is still available!!

Albert was one of Curtis’s foster dogs. Curtis spent hours roaming around Englewood and rescued this sweet boy. Albert had rough beginnings, but because of Curtis he was given a second chance. Curtis saw great potential in Albert, and thought he would be a great therapy dog once he got a bit older. Though in a loving foster, thanks to ABRA, he still needs a permanent home. Albert is around 1 year old, 39 lbs, and is housebroken. He gets along great with other dogs and even cats. He can get a little playful with cats, so they would need to be dog friendly. Albert LOVES people. He is super affectionate and thrives on being around people. That being said, he is looking for a family that understands his need for attention. We would recommend only a home with older children, because Albert still likes to jump and “hug” people. Albert is still a puppy and working on his manners. He does know how to sit. We would recommend Albert get more training to reach his full potential. With Albert’s sweet heart and affection, Final Farewell knew we rescued a very special boy who had the potential to do so much and give so much love. Please contact abraangels.com to fill out an application.

FOSTER NEEDED!!!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

This sweet girl was rescued by Curtis and needs to be re-homed.

This is Zaskia, or as she was known with us, Shelby. She was adopted last July (she was a south Chicago rescue that we partnered on with Final Farewell and Curtis Scott. What I wouldn't give to talk to Curtis right now :( )

Anyway, Shelby is not getting along with the female dog in her home and is being returned. We need a foster home for her ASAP. She is young, closing in on 1.5 years old. She is very good with her family, including the little boy, but she is skittish/leery of strangers. She has a lot of energy and enjoys playing. She is housebroken, crate trained and fully vetted.

If you are interested in Shelby, please contact us at [email protected]

Please share!

PLEASE KEEP SHARING!!!!

Mr. Bruce Wayne is still in need of a foster. He is very sweet, LOVES to cuddle and needs a cat free home. Please if you can't foster then please share. He has had a hard life. He is missing all his top teeth and I'm positive it is not due to a dental work up he had from a vet. You can fill out a foster application at allbreedrescueinc.com or contact me at [email protected].
