Our Mission:
To rescue bully breeds in need and from high kill shelters while cultivating positive, collaborative foster relationships to ensure the ultimate adoptive success of the dogs into loving permanent homes. To wisely steward our available resources, enabling us to provide appropriate support and assistance to address the needs of the animals to whom we have made the commitment of rescue.

About Us:
Actually, let’s start with you…
You love big mutts and you cannot lie and bully breeds have caught your eye. You know “pitties” and bully breed dogs have been dealing with a lot of crap in recent years, not unlike maligned breeds of decades past. German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans have all spent time in the ‘bad dog’ seat, and now blocky headed dogs are having their turn. From backyard breeding, to mistreatment to rampant misinformation about their essential nature, you get that pitties need our help, our educated minds and our open hearts and homes and you want to do your part to give a pup in need a paw up. If you Google ‘pit bull rescue in Chicago’ about 523,000 results will show up. Kinda makes it a little hard to know where to go and how to choose a rescue group that you can trust and rely on, doesn’t it? That is why we are so glad you are here! Our main goal, in addition to saving the lives of bullies in need is to support YOU in being the most educated, prepared, savvy pit bull companion you can be, whether you choose to foster or to adopt. We are a small rescue, committed to leading with our heads rather than our hearts, to help quality dogs find quality homes. We’ve been involved in rescue a long time and we have seen what happens to groups who try to save as many urgent dogs as they can as fast as they can. That may be well-intended (big hearts are a good thing!) but urgency-led rescues aren’t good for the people involved and they aren’t good for the dogs who can end up being failed by the very system that was trying to save them. We are not that rescue. We work closely with area shelters to get as much information as we can about the dogs we take in so we can be as prepared as possible to provide for their needs as we place them in well-matched foster homes. If you would like to join our team of fosters, expect us to have a close ongoing relationship with you as you help your pup get ready for their permanent home. If you are looking to adopt, expect us to get to know you, too, so we can help you find the dog that will thrive best in your home situation. Like big dogs in general, pit bull type dogs tend to have big personalities and are an athletic bunch (they even power nap). They aren’t right for every owner, but not every person should be allowed behind the wheel of a Maserati either. Wondering if a pittie is right for you (and if you are right for them)? GET IN TOUCH

Edit: Adoption Pending!

Chi-Town Pitties has a one-of-a-kind pup available for adoption? You betcha!

Adoptable Hubba Bubba is the new exclusive breed, Goldenpibble!

You may have never heard of this breed because we just made it up. And we have zero stats to confirm our best guess. But we do know Hubba Bubba is more than a pretty face. She is great with other dogs, create-trained, and house-trained.

Don't miss your chance to adopt this gorgeous pup!

Eight years ago today, Lynette's dream of starting her own rescue became a reality.

She built Chi-Town Pitties as a place of hope. A place where everyone is welcome. A place where dogs and people are treated with care and respect.

Over the years, the Chi-Town Pitties rescue family has grown. But our values and mission remain the same.... bring care, comfort, and respect to Chicagoland's homeless dogs and try to be the light and hope local shelters need.

Running a rescue isn't for the faint at heart. We ask "why" and scream "WTF" on the regular. Then we grab our leashes and get to work. Work that wouldn't be possible without community support.

Our adopters. Our volunteers. Our supporters. Our social media warriors. Y'all are what makes Chi-Town Pitties the force it is. You all are our heroes. You all are how we are able to say "yes" to those who need us.

Thank you for being on this crazy ride with us. Thank you for saving lives with us. Thank you for being a Chi-Town Pitties Hero! We couldn’t do this without YOU!

Are you an independent person who likes being active 🤾‍♀️ and yearns for a buddy who gets you? 🤔

💪Muscle man is made for you! This boy loves his crate, loves a ball 🎾 and a stuffy 🧸 too. He prefers (needs) to be an only dog because he’s very picky with friends. (He believes in quality over quantity. 💁‍♂️)

Muscle Man is a sweet soul 💖 and takes treats so gently. He will walk beautifully on a leash with you when you go on adventure 🚶 together. He likes his alone time to chew on a toy 🦴and play with a ball. This boy is independent just like you! He’s not a big cuddler, but he is ready to play hard, sleep hard 😴 and be your one and only.

On this episode of "Adventures with Dante," we find our big smooshy faced boy vacationing in the burbs.

Dante is taking in walks at the local forest preserve, showing his BBF (best ball friend) the fenced-in backyard, taking lots of naps on the couch, and patiently waiting for the pizza he ordered to be delivered.

Will Dante show other toys the backyard? How will he react when he meets the local squirrels? Did he use his infectious smile to get extra treats?

Stay tuned for the next episode of Adventures with Dante!

The next contestant on Fake It Friday's is Whiskey! This sweet little pup recently started an internship at a law office. Some of his coworkers think he's a personality hire, but he is here to offer some top-notch legal advice to everyone! Whiskey may only be 5 months old but his vacation foster gave him 2 days in a law office and that basically the pup equivalent of attending Harvard Paw, so he's taken the bar and all the office snacks and is ready to open his own shop! If you need legal advice or just a soild coworker, come meet Whiskey!
