If there was a competition for the "Best Ears" award, we think Florence has an incredible shot at winning. Are we a little biased in saying that? Maybe, but that's beside the point! This gorgeous two-year-old girl was found in Beaubien Woods near Chicago as a stray and made her way to us. This fun girl is dog-friendly, though she's a bit more on the dainty side. This means she may not look to wrestle with other pups, but she's completely fine with coexisting with them! She is one of our many furry friends looking to find their furever homes as we open today. Florence would do best in a 16+ home.

We're open now until 5 pm!

This super cute girl is our five and a half year old, Versace. She's got the sweetest face and some of the best wiggles when you walk up to her kennel. She can be a little shy at first but just requires a little bit of patience until she realizes she's safe and loved ❀. Versace is dog-friendly! She would do best in a 16+ home.

We're open from noon to 5 pm today! Our furry friends would love to see you today!

If you saw our Facebook Stories throughout the morning, you'll know that two of our staff members, Amanda and Jeremy, visited WGN today! We're so thankful that they allowed us to be on the air to talk about our two bonded pairs of kittens, Lilac and Greece. Though they aren't related, their stories have brought them together and bonded them for life. From Lilac coming through our doors at only a couple of days old to Greece being left at a local Fire Department, they were brought together in the foster home and became best friends forever. They will officially become available for adoption tomorrow!

Meet Paula. This sweet girl was so excited for her photoshoot. She wanted all of her angles captured. After she was done modeling, she requested head scratches for payment. We were happy to oblige. 14.5/10.

Paula is estimated to be around two years old. She came to us as a stray at the end of December. She's a sweetheart. She would do her best as the only pet in the household.

This is Garth. He wanted to check in and say that he hoped you were all safe driving this morning in the weather. Now that he's done checking in, he will go outside and play in it now. 14/10.

Garth is estimated to be around three year eight months old. He has such a fun personality! He is dog-social but would prefer the meet any potential dogs in the home before hand! Garth would do best in an adult only home.

This is Dolly. She stole our Social Media Manager's chair this morning and is now our Social Media Manager. When asked about stealing the chair, she said, "Finders keepers." Please be patient with her because she doesn't have thumbs, which is something she didn't know she needed when she stole the job. She couldn't believe naps weren't allowed on the job. 15/10.

Dolly is almost three years old and searching for her furever home. She's a shy girl but warms up quickly. She just requires patience! She's a sweetheart who wanted to be in our laps the entire time in the office. She's absolutely gorgeous! She is dog-friendly as well.

We are open now until 7 pm!

UPDATE: CHAMP IS CURRENTLY PENDING ADOPTION!!

Sometimes in life, we all need a comfy bed and a favorite toy to snuggle with. Champ has already learned this lesson. He highly recommends it. 14/10.

We're open now until 7 pm!! Champ is our one-year-old handsome boy and is one of the many faces waiting to meet you today.

This is Happy. Despite his name, he wants you to know he's not very happy with how cold it is outside. He'd be much happier snuggled up on a couch. 14/10 goofy boy ❀.

We're open from noon to 7 pm today! Happy and so many other friends are excited to meet you today! Happy is dog-social 😊.

This precious face belongs to our four-year-old Aura. She came to us as a stray at the beginning of this month and was nervous about being in a new place. Today, she has spent the day in our offices, and has been an absolute blast to have ❀. She's absolutely loved being with us and greeting everyone who walks through our office doors. She loves affection and stares at us so lovingly. She hasn't had any accidents in our office either! She realized it was so safe and was snoring away for a much-needed nap.

Aura is dog-friendly! We're open tomorrow from 12 to 7 pm 😊.

These adorable pair of cuties are Hanalei and Hudson. They were found at a worksite in Markham and brought to us. They are around three months old and are very shy babies. They would typically hide whenever our staff went into their space to clean. Today, they began to explore the cat room together and play, so we are seeing great improvement ❀. They are not a legally bonded pair by definition, but we highly recommend adopting them together as they find comfort and confidence in each other. We require an appointment to meet them due to their fearfulness because we are looking for an adopter who will understand their needs. If you are interested in meeting them, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekXj5aI_tQI_YHKMn4hisy475dCQIjZc0kJJ0AV55srRHL2Q/viewform

Our pup Sahara recently spent the day with a staff member of ours, and we just had to share some photos that she took. She had the best day. After her car ride, she spent time watching TV, playing with every toy that she could find, frog-legging on the couch, and playing outside with her favorite toys. Sahara has been with us since April 2024, and we are so happy she got this much-needed time away to be a dog ❀.

We're closed for adoptions today but will be open from 12 to 7 pm tomorrow. Sahara is dog-friendly and would do best in an adult (16+) home. We hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we did ❀.

We are deeply saddened to write this, but we want to provide you all with an update. Despite our best efforts from our team, Snow has unfortunately passed away from Parvovirus. Parvo is a hazardous disease in dogs, and even though Snow was such a fighter, he could not overcome it.

Parvo is a highly contagious disease that is a significant cause of death in puppies and young, unvaccinated dogs. Since it's a virus, it cannot be treated with antibiotics. That is what makes it so difficult to treat. It is important to vaccinate your dogs at a young age to protect against parvo. We highly recommend you do research and talk to your vet about vaccinations.

Snow, you were only with us for a short amount of time, but we love you, buddy. You were such a sweet boy despite everything.
