It has been a while since we have posted for a $5 Friday but we need your help!
We currently have 48 dogs in our care and adoptions this past month have been a bit slower. With a rise in medical needs both routine and unexpected we are asking for donations to ensure that we can continue helping the dogs in need that we so desperately want to. Your donations are used in different areas throughout the rescue, this includes but is not limited to medical care for dogs waiting for adoption and foster supplies to continue making fostering accessible.
Each dog that comes through our rescue receives the routine care that is necessary including vaccinations, spay or neuter, microchip, deworming, heartworm test or 4dx, full panel blood work depending on age or condition, preventions (flea, tick and heartworm) and more. We also have some dogs who come into our care that need more, this can include but is not limited to full panel blood work rechecks, dental with extractions, other surgeries and medication both short and long term.
For fosters we provide supplies including but not limited to crates, p*e pads, food, toys, probiotics when needed, treats leash, collar, harness, foster tag and more. This is how we are able to give people the opportunity to say yes more confidently to help us really find the best forever home for each dog in our care.
No amount goes unnoticed when you are a rescue that works solely off donations. If you are able to donate $5 today we would appreciate it so much! If you are not able to donate, we appreciate your support in any way that you can. This can be as simple as sharing our posts to continue building our community of fosters, adopters, donors and volunteers.

July 6th, 2025 we walked into Chicago Animal Care and Control. Megan, Maya, Stacey & I spent time walking dogs and giving out treats. We came across so many amazing dogs but there was one girl that caught Maya’s eyes. She was found abandoned with two of her what we assume were siblings. Unfortunately they did not make it out of CACC but she did and we wanted to ensure that her life mattered, for them. This happens far too often where dogs are abandoned resulting in them ending up as just another statistic in the shelter system.
We were unsure of her medical status but those are the ones that Maya loves the most. We all had different guesses. We guessed pregnant, we guessed fluid in her stomach, and we guessed possible stomach mass. For the last 3 months Maya did everything she possibly could to figure out what was wrong with Sundae and how she could help. She was happy. She was loving. She was everything positive but we knew medically something was wrong. It turned out that Sundae had all of the above. Maya continued to care for her, love her, spoil her and so much more. We followed Sundae’s lead and allowed her to live the life that she was meant to. We’re thankful that we were able to fight for her, but we can’t help but wonder if she was found sooner would the outcome have changed. We know our CRA babies and her two siblings greeted her instantly. Your mom, dad, and aunties love and miss you so much already. Thank you for letting us be apart of your life. ❤️

It's been a busy start to October, so we're posting this a little late (there's already 14 more dogs in our care now than on October first!) but per usual -- we're pretty confident these are the best dogs around. Over 50% of our population of dogs came directly from Chicago Animal Care and Control and we are eternally proud of that fact. That said, many of our CACC dogs are still being overlooked both in regards to foster and in regards to adoptions.

We cannot continue to help save the most at-risk community of dogs if there is no movement on them once they are in our rescue. Many have noticed that we have pumped the breaks a little bit on taking in new dogs from CACC as of late, and this is why. Fosters and adopters that are open to high energy dogs who may not be the best fit right away for other dogs are VITAL for us to continue pulling these high risk dogs. If you know of anyone who might fit that description, please send them our way. We need them! Our dogs need them.

We said we needed to take a little break in September and focus on refueling and finding some long term dogs foster homes and we were (mostly) successful! Only four new faces joined us last month, and as of now they're all ready to find their forever homes!
