Caption this!! What is going on here!?? 🤣🤣

Randy (cream colored terrier mix looking at the camera) and Elvis (in the blue sweater) are still up for adoption! While they can both play with the big dogs, Elvis is a little bit on the calmer side whereas Randy will play with anyone who comes his way.

They are being fostered together but don't need to be adopted together. If you're interested in one of these little guys, please apply today! https://applications.ildoberescue.com/plus/start

If you're an approved adopter, email us at [email protected] to learn more about Randy or Elvis.

The newest member of IDR+ is Ruby! She just arrived to her foster home and has already buddied up with her foster dad and furry siblings! 🥰🥹

Meet Ruby! This tiny little Chihuahua mix is estimated to be about 4-years-old and is just the sweetest little girl. She came from a hoarded home with 146 total dogs. She is glad to be out of there but really enjoys having a doggy friend (or two) so will need to have another dog in her forever home. She is used to being around dogs both big and small and is also great with cats! Kids should be ages 7 and up since she is so tiny. She is very sweet to the children in her foster home. She does have a quirks with doors so her forever home needs to be very careful with opening doors that lead outside. She is quiet and would be fine in an apartment. She has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

The only thing better than one cat is two cats!

Meet Aspen and Bristol, a pair of dog savvy cats looking for a home!

A good Samaritan found a litter of kittens and helped animal control get them to safety. Bristol is very outgoing and loves hugs and kisses who will do well with any family. Aspen has the white patches and the one winking at you who is playful but a bit shy with people. She doesn’t like to be held but she will snuggle on your lap for a nap.

We prefer them to be adopted together, or to homes with other pets in the house looking for a playmate. They are good with both dogs and cats.

Yes, Ruthie is looking at YOU! She's wondering if you'd like to adopt her? 🥺🥺🥺

This little dog has had it hard. Originally a stray, she made her way to the shelter and waited for rescue. And then she waited. And waited some more. Finally, we were able to take her in several months ago and she had extensive vetting.

She’s a 3x breast cancer survivor! She’s not the youngest dog but is sweet and happy-go-lucky. She does a dance when it’s time to eat and her foster mom just adores her but it’s time for Ruthie to find her forever home!

No small kids for this gal and she would prefer to be an only dog but another calm dog could work. She doesn’t care much for canine friends and truly loves people most of all. She does not need a fenced yard – leash walks for potty breaks would be just fine. She is housetrained and ready to move into her forever home!

Are you Ruthie's person? Apply here! https://applications.ildoberescue.com/plus/start

If you're an approved adopter (applied within 5 years & still at same address) please email [email protected] to learn more about Ruthie!

New year, new medical dog 🚑

NOT YET ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Introducing Piglet, our very own English Bulldog (mixed with American Bully?) who we picked up a few days ago. You could immediately smell something was wrong with him. Upon inspection, his skin is clearly in need of medical attention. He has hair loss in several spots and covered in crusty lesions from head to toe. What looks like spots on his back in the second picture is actually hair loss. His toenails are so long and pointy but his foster mom is working on getting each and every one shortened up with the dremel. He cowers before accepting pets but does get silly and runs around when he gets excited.

We’ve got an appointment at the vet on Tuesday. Please donate to help Piglet! He deserves so much more than what he’s been through.

Damen is back with IDR+ and looking for his forever match!

This is one VGB (very good boy!) who LOVES other big, rambunctious dogs. Cats and critters? Not quite a match, and small children might be too much for this guy as well.

Damen will need a yard to play fetch in and someone to throw the ball! If you're looking to add some fun to your 2025, look no further - Damen's your dude!

Learn more about Damen here! https://www.ildoberescue.com/adopt/dobermans/damen/

Rexx is a very good boy who doesn't understand why his people haven't found him yet.

He is about 1.5 years old, and true to his age, he is a rambunctious and playful Doberman.
Rexx would benefit with another dog friend who matches his energy, or an experienced dobe caretaker familiar with the breed and what they need to thrive. He desperately craves training of any kind – so an agility course or nose work would be fun for this guy! While Rexx has not been cat tested, he does have high energy and may be best separated from small critters.

Rexx has had a bit of a rocky start to life having been bounced around at such an early age. He will require a lot of time, patience and understanding as he learns your routine and settles into his surroundings. We all know how sensitive Dobermans can be, so please be mindful that his transition to your home take a little bit of time. However, he is crate trained & housebroken, and if you have a yard for him to play in, all the better!

Do you have room in your heart & home for Rexx? Apply to adopt him today! https://www.ildoberescue.com/adopt/applications/doberman-application/
Approved adopters (applied within 5 years and still at same address) please email [email protected] to learn more about Rexx.

Nicholas is looking for a best friend.

This boy is a charming, 4-year-old red Doberman with a heart of gold. Rescued as a stray in Chicago just before Christmas, he has since become a beloved member of his foster home, where he lives with three other male Dobermans. With his cropped/flopped ears, docked tail, and sweet face, Nicholas is as handsome as he is loving.

This confident boy thrives in the company of other large dogs and enjoys playtime and wrestling. However, be warned: he’s got a strong prey drive and will enthusiastically chase rabbits, squirrels, chickens, and possibly cats, too! Nicholas is also an avid “fence runner,” so a privacy fence is a must for him to feel comfortable and secure.

Though he arrived a bit underweight, Nicholas is now healthy and happy, ready to be your perfect companion. His foster mom describes him as “move-in ready”—he’s potty trained, well-mannered in the house, and a respectful eater. He doesn’t need to be crated at night or when you leave, and he takes treats gently. Nicholas even stands quietly for a bath!

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion, Nicholas is ready to shower you with “Doberkisses” and happy nubwags. He will make a fantastic addition to a family with a love for large, confident dogs.

Could Nicholas be your new best friend?

New Year, who this? Oh, it's Elvis! Well, why didn't you say so?

Elvis is a cute 3 year old chi/terrier mix and is happy as can be. He is currently being fostered with his buddy Randy, but they don't have to be adopted together.

He is good with dogs and cats and is a great candidate for city living, as he doesn't require a fenced in yard.

Apply to adopt Elvis today!

This beautiful European Doberman was surrendered to us at only 1 year, and she has quite a bit that she's working on. She's a bit jumpy, not completely housebroken, and barky with other dogs. But her tail never stops wagging and she is SO happy to run with kennel friends.

Stormy will need an experienced handler who will be willing to put in the work. She'll need basic obedience at the very least - and a lot of patience on your end. She is very sweet with her foster humans, and is quickly learning the routine at her foster home.

If you're looking to spice up your life in the New Year, Stormy is your girl!

If you're an approved adopter (applied within 5 years & still at same address) please email us at [email protected] to learn more about Stormy.

Apply to adopt Stormy on our website! (note: application does not work on mobile devices!)

A note from Claus’s foster!

Claus is one happy boy. His tail never stops wagging. He is going to need a little time to settle down and he will need obedience. He also does need a fenced yard to run off some energy. He has a lot of potential.
