Piglet update!

He was neutered on Monday and caught up on his vaccines, heartworm test, and microchipped. Originally found stray, he ended up at CACC before joining our program. His skin scrape was negative for everything and we think he’s getting better on his foster mama’s regimen.

Isn’t he so squishy?

Can you say STUNNING!?
Vegas is an absolutely gorgeous 2 year old doberman with cropped ears and tail. He was living outside in Missouri for an extended amount of time, and as you can see he needs to gain weight and some external wounds need to heal (and likely internal as well - this boy needs some love!)

Vegas is still fairly new to our rescue so we are still assessing all of the things but if you're interested, please apply to adopt or email us at [email protected]!

The Frenchies and Bulldogs have once again invaded IDR+ and do they have some baggage! 🙃 (Please share this post with any Bulldog-loving friends! 📣)

These dogs found their way into Chicago-area shelters after being found as strays. Knowing that our community is (hopefully) also into bulldogs, we scooped them up and promised to find them their forever homes.

All of our dogs receive an extensive vet check prior to being placed for adoption, and sometimes they find things that are more costly than normal. But we commit ourselves 100000% to each and every animal that comes into our rescue, so we provide them with the medical care that they need.

A common procedure that many bulldog-like dogs need is vet care to help them breathe better. Right now, we may have one of our dogs who needs this surgery, and it is not cheap... but all dogs deserve to breathe comfortably, right!?

As we prepare ourselves for this potential, costly surgery, we could really use your help! If you know any Bulldog lovers, please share this post with them and get the word out that we need some people on their team! And of course, donations are greatly appreciated.

We also have a monthly Miracle Makers program where you can sign up and donate as little as $15/month to help us continue caring for Chicagoland’s stray dogs of all size. (Click here and scroll to “Miracle Makers” https://www.ildoberescue.com/support/donate/)

Thank you for your continued support of our orphans! We couldn’t do it without you!

Snoop never got the memo that he could take up the entire bed and has only been taking 50% of his allotted share. This goofy guy is just too cute!!

Snoop is a handsome 1-year-old blue male Doberman and is ready to find his forever home. With his natural ears and tail, Snoop is not only striking but also incredibly smart and eager to please. He was surrendered to a high-volume shelter before joining our program, and he’s quickly adjusting to his new life.

Snoop is nearly housebroken and learns quickly, already sitting on command or with a simple hand signal. He enjoys playing with toys and has an adorable daily ritual of zoomies that will bring a smile to your face. He sleeps soundly through the night and takes treats gently, making him a joy to be around.

If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, and sweet companion, Snoop may be the perfect match for you!

If you're interested in Snoop, please apply here: https://www.ildoberescue.com/adopt/applications/doberman-application/

If you're an approved adopter, please email us at [email protected] to learn more about Snoop!

All three of our IDR+ Chihuahuas were adopted so the only sensible thing to do is pull another one. 💞

Meet our sweet little boy, Maurice, a 4-year-old Chiweenie who’s been through more than any dog should ever have to endure. Maurice came to us from a local shelter, where he was originally adopted in 2020. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, his life took a dark turn. After being rehomed to a place where love and care were absent, Maurice suffered unimaginable neglect. He was starved, left to wither, and even lost part of his ear—leaving him with a physical reminder of his painful past. His once-lush coat is now patchy and thin, the result of years of disregard and mistreatment.

Despite all he’s been through, Maurice is an incredibly sweet and loving boy. He’s gentle with other dogs, though he prefers those who won’t overwhelm him. He has a special place in his heart for dog-friendly cats and adores being around children. Maurice can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he’s easily won over with treats and quickly warms up once he feels safe. Speaking of treats, Maurice loves to sit up on his hind legs for them, his little body wiggling with excitement!

Maurice would be perfectly happy with a couple of short leash walks each day, and he doesn’t require a fence, making him an ideal companion for someone who enjoys low-maintenance outdoor time. He’s also a perfect little buddy for car rides—he’ll happily sit on your lap, content to be close to you. When it’s time to relax, Maurice loves to snuggle and burrow under blankets, finding comfort in the warmth and safety of his loved ones.

Though his past has scarred him, Maurice’s spirit is resilient. He longs for a family who will show him the kindness and care he so desperately deserves. In the right home, with patience and love, Maurice will continue to heal and flourish into the loyal companion he was always meant to be.

Maurice’s story is one of pain, but also of hope. Will you be the one to offer him the second chance he deserves?

Meet Arley! 💥 and her tongue 👅

Meet Arley, a sweet and spunky 2-year-old black and tan French Bulldog who is ready to find her forever home after an adventurous journey. This tiny gal weighs in at just 17 lbs but has a personality that’s larger than life! Arley was found as a stray in Chicago, in need of urgent care due to a vaginal prolapse. After arriving at the vet, she underwent surgery to correct the condition and spent a couple of weeks recovering under careful monitoring.

On January 18, 2025, Arley made her way to her foster home, and she’s already showing her true colors! Though she’s still in recovery, she’s full of energy and excited to start the next chapter of her life. Arley is definitely not your typical French Bulldog—she’s high-energy, playful, and eager to be part of the action. She loves other dogs and, although she’s not quite able to play with them yet, she’s absolutely ready to run and have fun with her new friends when she’s fully healed.

Arley is a bit picky when it comes to her personal space—she’s not a fan of the crate, but she’s perfectly content behind a gate. She’s adjusting well to her new surroundings and is already showing signs of being a little social butterfly.

If you’re looking for an active, playful companion who’s got loads of love to give, Arley might just be the perfect match! She’s on the mend, full of personality, and ready to share her journey with a family who can keep up with her energy and give her all the love she deserves.

CeCe is a 6-year-old, female, brindle, Bull Terrier who was found wandering around Chicago. She’s been in her foster home for a year and a half now. We know it’s more difficult to place orphans that need to be an only pet, but CeCe is a DREAM and would absolutely be perfect for someone who wants a laid back companion!

Meet Toto, a sturdy and joyful 5-year-old Yorkie-Poodle mix who weighs 16 lbs and is currently on a little diet to shed a few. Found wandering as a stray in the south Chicago suburbs, Toto is now in his foster home, where he’s thriving and ready to find his forever family.

This friendly little guy is outgoing, affectionate, and loves meeting new people and making friends with everyone he meets. He’s already shown signs of being housebroken and gets along great with other dogs. Toto is incredibly attentive, loves sitting for treats, and is eager to learn new tricks—this smart cookie is sure to impress! His playful, joyful nature makes him a true delight to be around.

Toto doesn’t need a fenced yard, as he’s perfectly content with leash walks, and we think he’d really enjoy exploring all the sights and smells on his walks. Whether it’s meeting new people or discovering new places, Toto is always up for an adventure. With his loving, easygoing personality, Toto is sure to bring happiness to any home!

Claus has a special talent. He can touch his ears together. Can you touch your ears together? Claus guarantees that you cannot. 😝

Claus is a wonderful boy—strong and active—and would thrive in a home with a yard. He could also benefit from some obedience or agility training, making him a great candidate for an active family who wants to give him the structure and activities he needs.

If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic companion who will keep you on your toes, Claus is the perfect match!

We almost missed 🐶

Meet Stitch! He’s headed to the vet this week for a consult on his soft palate and nares. He’s been a good boy for his foster parents and will be ready to accept applications soon! 🤩

A "French Bulldog soft palate surgery," also called a staphylectomy, is a surgical procedure where a veterinarian removes a portion of the elongated soft palate in a French Bulldog to improve their breathing by opening up their airway, as this breed is prone to having a shortened snout which can cause breathing difficulties due to the soft palate obstructing airflow.
