Meet Chance, a beautiful Pomeranian with a gentle soul. This sweet boy is in his senior years, but don’t tell him that. He was originally found wandering stray in the Chicago suburbs with a freshly groomed coat. His owners didn’t surface during his stray hold and that is how he came to join IDR+.

In his foster home, he was quite confused on day one but got used to his new schedule pretty quickly. He absolutely loves his people and is very social – he loves to follow everyone around, especially in the kitchen! When he wants a little snack, he stands up on his back legs and will wave to you. He isn’t a big fan of the crate but he’s very respectful of the home so doesn’t really need one. He sleeps quietly on a dog bed at night in his foster parent’s bedroom.

Chance is fine with other dogs but should only be placed with calm dogs that won’t jump on him or accidentally harm him – he’s a slow moving guy and can be a little unsteady on his feet at times. He is also fine with cats. He is good with the children in his foster home – it’s more people to shower him with affection.

Chance is a good boy looking for a happy retirement home to enjoy his golden years. Could that be you?

Meet Snoop, a handsome and incredibly smart 1-year-old blue Doberman who is settling into his foster home and ready for the next step in his journey. Snoop is a young, energetic guy with plenty of s***k, but he’s also got a calm demeanor and is already showing his potential as a well-behaved companion.

Snoop is 100% food motivated, which makes training a breeze! He’s already mastered “sit,” “down,” and “come,” though like any young dog, he can get a little distracted at times. He walks pretty well on a leash, although he has a preference for being on the right side—something his foster family is working on. He’s also not reactive to common stimuli like birds, cars, or people while out walking, and he’s shown a healthy curiosity without any signs of aggression toward other dogs, even though he’s still learning proper doggy boundaries.

In the yard, Snoop enjoys exploring and has been off-leash a few times with no issues. He’s comfortable being handled, and there are no problems touching his paws, ears, tail, or mouth. He’s great in his crate, sleeps solidly, and doesn’t show any signs of separation anxiety—though he does love to jump up when you first greet him!

Like any growing pup, Snoop has a few things to work on. He’s got some counter-surfing tendencies (but he’s quick to stop when told no), and while he’s never shown interest in stoves or other dangerous kitchen equipment, it’s important to keep an eye on him.

Snoop isn’t fully socialized with other dogs just yet—he tends to be a little pushy when he wants to play and hasn’t quite learned when to give resting dogs their space. With more time and exercise, this will likely improve. He’s a big, athletic boy, so he’d do best in a home with older kids who can handle his size and energy. And speaking of his energy, Snoop is the kind of dog who could easily clear a 4-foot fence if he really wanted to, so his future home will need a secure yard.

This young Doberman thrives on structure, and we believe someone with an interest in obedience, agility, or tracking would be an excellent match for him. He’s shown a great love for training exercises and has a fantastic nose, especially when it comes to food. Snoop is a solid, lovable companion who will continue to grow into an even more well-behaved dog with the right family and the right guidance. Could that be you?

Opie (or Noodle, his nickname for his long noodley legs) is literally the sweetest. He’s crate trained, doing well with housetraining, super snuggly, good with dogs, cats, and kids. He loves to play with tiny stuffies and burrow under fuzzy blankets. 🥹

He’s the best little boy and although his foster loves him very much, we would love to find his forever home.

We have quite a few long-term residents here at IDR+ and we'd really love to find them their forever homes soon! Please consider adopting a long-timer as it would truly mean the world to our orphans.

Cece, our bull-terrier, has been with us for over 2 years. Marble, Rexx and Ricky, our long-term dobies, have also achieved longevity with IDR+ and are either at one year with us or approaching one year. Dillinger and Snoop have been here for a few months already and we really hope we can find their forever homes before they get settled in with us as well.

We are grateful for all of our foster homes, who are truly doing amazing work getting our orphans ready for their forever homes. We desperately need more foster homes so please get in touch if you are interested in helping out! [email protected]

20/03/2025

If you need a hype man, look no further. We raise you, Rexx. He’s tons of fun and needs a Doberman savvy home! He is super smart and would likely excel in dog sports! He loves having a job to keep him busy. 🌟

Say hey to Archer! 👋

Archer is a 2-year-old super handsome, fun-loving Doberman who is ready to find his perfect forever home! Archer is full of energy and always up for a good time—whether it’s playing hide and seek, a game of tug, or zooming around on his walks. He absolutely loves human companionship and enjoys snuggling just as much as he enjoys playtime.

Archer is a smart boy who knows how to sit and wait for a command before eating his food. He’s still working on walking nicely on a leash, but with consistency and patience, he’s sure to improve. He gets along well with other dogs and looks forward to attending doggy daycare, where he can socialize and make new friends. However, he can sometimes get overpowered by more dominant dogs, so he would thrive as the only dog in the home or with a smaller canine companion.

Like many Dobermans, Archer has his quirks—he’s not a fan of rain or cold temperatures, and he prefers to skip nail trims whenever possible. He also has a sensitive stomach and requires a special kibble to keep him feeling his best. He is fully potty trained but needs to go outside immediately after eating or drinking. He’s quick and can be sneaky when left unattended—whether it’s marking, garbage picking, or chewing on furniture if he feels anxious or under-stimulated.

Archer deserves a loving, patient home that will provide him with the structure, attention, and companionship he craves. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful pup who will be your best friend, Archer could be the perfect match for you!

Meet Teddy, the sweet and playful Tibetan Spaniel mix looking for his forever home!

Teddy is around 2 years old and weighs approximately 20 lbs. He has a very sweet, eager-to-please personality and has come a long way since coming into care. When he first arrived, Teddy was a bit nervous and shy, but after just a couple of weeks, he’s blossomed into a happy, affectionate dog. He loves to zoom around the yard and snuggle up on the couch for some belly rubs. Teddy is great with other dogs, especially smaller ones, and he loves to play and interact with them. He’s also a big fan of toys and enjoys tossing them around during playtime.

Teddy would do best in a home with older children, as he’s a little skittish with new things and people. He needs time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he’ll be your best friend. While he has no experience with cats, Teddy is likely to be okay with them. Teddy is treat-motivated and eager to learn, and he’s already mastered “come,” “sit,” and his name. He’s crate trained, and with a consistent schedule, he’s almost house-trained. He’s also working on his leash manners and getting better with each walk. Teddy is currently on medical hold for neutering but is otherwise healthy, with the procedure planned for the end of March.

Teddy would love a yard to play in, as he’s still in his puppy phase and enjoys exploring and running around. He’s made amazing progress in just a few weeks and, with a little patience and love, will continue to thrive in a home where he feels safe and cherished. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and adorable companion, Teddy could be the perfect fit for you! Please reach out if you’re interested in meeting him, and we’d be happy to provide more details and photos. Thank you for considering this precious boy!

We have an agility/performance prospect!

Meet Nugget! This charming, 1.5-year-old red Miniature Pinscher is looking for a loving forever home. Born on 9/19/23, Nugget comes from a champion bloodline, with both of his parents being show dog champions. While he was once destined to follow in their footsteps, Nugget grew a bit too tall for the show ring, standing at 13.5 inches. Despite this, he’s still as handsome and full of personality as they come! He was reluctantly surrendered – his owner is facing some health issues.

Nugget is a small but mighty little guy who weighs in at 11 pounds, though he still needs to gain a bit more weight. He’s a social butterfly, having lived with other dogs and even a cat, and he absolutely loves to play and interact with them. He’s settled into his foster home nicely, where he’s learning the ropes of his new environment, including working on potty training and his cues. He does wear a belly band indoors to help with marking but is progressing well.

This sweet boy has already been fully vetted and is crate-trained, although he’s enjoying more time out of the crate now. Nugget would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard for safe play, and ideally, a dog of similar size to keep him company would be perfect. He’s great with everyone—men, women, kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes. He’s a true socialite!

While Nugget has his moments of energy and playfulness, he also loves his snuggle time and enjoys being pampered. He’s learning basic commands and would benefit from some training classes, but it’s not a requirement. With a little extra confidence-building, Nugget has the potential to be a great performance dog too, though he’d also be more than happy to cuddle up and be treated like the little prince he is.

If you’re looking for a sweet, active, and affectionate companion, Nugget might just be the perfect fit for you!

Have you met Zara yet?

This sweet, shy girl was used for breeding and then discarded without another thought. At around 3.5 years old, Zara is just now learning what life is like to be a loved and cherished family member in her foster home.

Zara will need a special kind of person to adopt her because while she is very sweet, she is also very afraid of new things. She is mostly crate trained and housebroken (if let out frequently and on a schedule, she'll be golden!) and would do very well with a calm resident dog to help ease her anxiety and show her the ropes. She can also be around dog-savvy, chill cats, but she does have a bit of a prey drive with squirrels, so be mindful when thinking about if your cat would be a match!

Zara will need a fenced in yard as walks on a leash will likely not happen for quite some time. The city life will be too much for her. Her new forever home should expect not to introduce her to new people until she has adjusted to her new life, and that could take several months. Zara should not be around small children at this time.

Her foster mom has noted that she is slowly becoming more brave, but she still has a long way to go!
If Zara sounds like someone you can devote your heart to, please apply or get in touch today ❤️

Meet Rune, a beautiful female black and tan Doberman. She is 2 years old, about 55 lbs, and just so wiggly and adorable. She was sadly surrendered to Chicago Animal Care & Control for reasons unknown. She is good in her crate and loves everyone and everything she meets! She does need to leash work as she likes to circle and has trouble walking in a straight line but the world is just so exciting! She is young and fun – training will be a great chance to bond!

Meet Dillinger, the big, goofy, and lovable 1-year-old blue Doberman! With his natural ears and docked tail, Dillinger is as charming as he is playful. He’s a toy enthusiast, so you’ll always find him happily playing with his favorite squeaky or chew toys.
This handsome boy is housebroken and crate-trained, but he does have a big voice! Dillinger will bark to get your attention or if something catches his interest—he’s got plenty of personality! While he hasn’t had the chance to interact with other dogs yet, he’s ready to make some new friends with the right introduction.

Dillinger’s still working on some manners, particularly with respect to personal space, so he’ll need some obedience training to help him become the well-mannered companion we know he can be. If you’re looking for a playful, energetic, and loving dog with a fun personality, Dillinger is ready to bring joy and laughter into your life! Will you be the one to help him learn and grow?

Love dobermans, but need one in a miniature size? We got you!!

***Referral post – please contact [email protected] with any questions regarding this dog!***

Jackie is a 9 year old female Miniature Pinscher who was surrendered when her 2nd owner moved to memory care. She really is a nice dog! She loves pets and snuggling but is also active and plays with toys. She likes walking on leash for exercise and sniffs. Jackie enjoys baths & tolerates dremeling her nails for treats. She barks occasionally but was debarked by her first owner (sadly), so she has a quiet bark.

Jackie is a quick learner with positive motivation. She gets along well with other small dogs and dog savvy cats. She’s been exposed to toddlers in my childcare and is neutral about them. Jackie goes outside in WI cold with no coat and no shivering! Jackie weighs 19 # and is aiming for 16 #. She has perfect outside potty skills on a regular schedule.

Fostered in Middleton WI

Meet Alessia!

Alessia ia a lovable 3-year-old English Bulldog with the most mesmerizing light blue eyes and an adorable underbite that’s sure to make you smile!

Alessia loves following her foster parents around, gets along well with other dogs, and isn’t at all destructive. She’ll be ready for adoption in a few weeks after being spayed and undergoing Entropion surgery. Stay tuned for more updates as this sweet girl settles in!
