Yesterday at Chicago Animal Care and Control we met Roxy, a ten year old dog who had been brought in as an owner euthanasia request due to “lumps on her body” and arthritis.

Roxy appeared in good health and spirits, and deserved a proper vet exam. Our vet and medical team was able to examine her yesterday at the hangar, and those lumps turned out to be a dozen or so painful mats of fur. She has great mobility for a ten year old, and was loving cruising all around the hangar! Additionally, her senior bloodwork looked great.

Roxy was able to get groomed today and must feel amazing! She is resting in her foster home and will be available for adoption once she is spayed and has much needed dental work.

Help up save dogs like Roxy by fostering with us.✨

Happy Hump Day! We have the cutest, the tiniest pup that just became available for adoption!! Meet Shark Finn! Teeny tiny, two month old Finn came to us about a month ago from Chicago Animal Care and Control and landed in a wonderful foster home until he was ready for adoption!✨

Shark Finn is a typical puppy that loves to play and will benefit from training classes and working on housebreaking! He currently lives with three dogs of all sizes and can't get enough of them!✨

This tiny cutie loves all people and is always ready to play, but is happy to cuddle too. He has been doing well in his crate overnight and has been left separated in a room for up to four hours while his foster mom works. Shark Finn is sure to bring some fun and love to any home!✨

Inquire about him today, fill out the adoption application below!✨

Our Queen Billie is so beautiful and deserving of a loving home. That's all we want for the Holidays. Billie is our longest term love. She has been seeking a forever home since 12/15/2021 , that's 1,084 days. 🥺 She needs someone that will be patient. She just needs a little time to warm up to you before you have her unconditional love.

Say hi to the cuddle bugs, Spice and Scarlet! Both of these puppies are being fostered by one of our amazing staff members! Sweet baby Spice was adopted but then returned due to allergies in the household. While Spice was "adopted", the staff member saved Scarlet from Chicago Animal Care and Control and became her foster. When Spice was returned, due to lack of fosters -- he went back to his original foster home with our Shelter Operations Manager, Allyson.

✨Both of these sweet pups are available for adoption.✨ They also have something exciting to announce -- we have currently raised $19,186!! That entire amount will be matched!! We are so close to our goal of 40K!

Thank you Mary Rhee, Janet Katz, Brad Lipschultz, Mary Streicher, Amy Downey, Dan Gingess, Foster-Stephens Inc , Mark Detroy, Ellen Detroy , Sarah Ghesquiere, Anna Niedzielski, Andie Roberts, Noreen Rode, Malgorzata Brodowska , Janice and Ronald Rosenthal and so many, many more!

We pulled 1.7 year old Alice from Chicago Animal Care and Control back in May. Alice and her kitten, Hattie, came to us after being exposed to panleukopenia. Sadly, Hattie did not survive the disease. Alice was in a foster home where she received plenty of TLC until she was healthy! She is now currently residing at The Cat House - Cat Lounge & Boutique , where she awaits her forever home. Alice is very sweet and special so we really hope someone will give this beautiful girl a chance and make her a part of their family. ❤️

In the meantime, Alice wanted to thank some generous supporters for donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser :: Jack and Pat Hassen, Beth Stencel, Judy A.
