Pal's Place would love to introduce you to one of our newest rescues, Ziggy, a little pint-sized powerhouse of love, energy, curiosity, and affection! Zig is an American Cocker Spaniel, estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, weighing 17 pounds. He found his way to Pal's Place from an overcrowded animal control facility in Kentucky. He arrived at animal control in rough shape, his coat so terribly matted he had to be completely shaved down and a very thin 10 pounds. We suspect he may have come from a puppy mill or neglectful backyard breeder. Despite a rough start in life, Ziggy remains a happy, enthusiastic, friendly little fella with a wonderful, sunny, merry, and bright disposition! True to his Cocker heritage, he knows no strangers and greets every human and canine he crosses paths with as a long-lost friend. Being a young Spaniel, he's energetic, playful, curious, a bit mischievous, and busy, busy! He'll make a fantastic companion for a family as active, curious, and fun-loving as he is. Ziggy especially loves children and is an ideal playmate for them. Ziggy also LOVES other dogs. He is excitable when meeting new canine friends and can be a bit overwhelming in his eagerness and persistence to play, which some dogs do not always appreciate. He'll make a great companion for another dog with a similar energy level and playfulness but may be too much for an older or more mellow dog. Ziggy is working on his crate training and housebreaking and does well when kept on a regular schedule. He can be vocal at times, especially when crated or left alone. Because of this, we feel he's not particularly well-suited to apartment or condo living and would do better in a single-family home where his talkative nature will not disturb close neighbors. Zigs will make a phenomenal companion for any Cocker Spaniel lover, and he's anxious and excited to meet his new family. Submit your application today!
Ziggy is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), and microchipped. His adoption fee of $375 helps cover his neuter, vaccinations, and any other medical expenses necessary to prepare him for adoption. He is being fostered on Chicago's north side and can be seen by appointment only after an application has been received and approved. For more info or an application, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit palsplacerescue.org. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for any reason. Please do not submit an adoption application unless you are ready to meet and welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. Adoption applications and correspondence from the rescue may end up in your spam or junk folder. If you are waiting for our reply, please check those folders regularly, and if it has been 48 hours without a reply, please follow up with an email to ensure your application was received.

Additional adoption info
Pal's Place is a foster-based canine rescue serving Chicago and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state, provided potential adopters are willing to make the trip to Chicago to meet the dog in person before adoption. We do not ship or transport our animals. We rescue dogs from euthanasia at overturned and open-intake animal control facilities. They are placed in foster homes, evaluated, and fully vetted before adoption. If interested in adoption, please read the information below, outlining our fees and process for adoption.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, and vaccinated before being placed for adoption. An adoption application and contract are required. Our adoption fees vary by dog but are generally as follows:
Senior Dogs $275 and up
Adult dogs $375 and up
Puppies (under twelve months) $475 and up
These fees help to cover the expenses of vetting, feeding, and housing the dogs we rescue. We rely solely on donations to continue our work in rescuing needy dogs.
HOW TO ADOPT:
•Step 1: Submit an application through our website at http://palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ or email palsplace1@hotmail.com for our application in PDF or Word format. Be sure to fully complete the application and ensure contact information for your veterinarian (if you have current dogs/cats in the home or within the past five years) and/or landlords (if renting) is included. We do check vet references, and we do verify if dogs are allowed in rental units. Omitting this information will slow the application process down. Pal's Place has no shelter facility. All our dogs are in foster homes or boarding facilities while they await adoption. Dogs can be seen by appointment once the rescue has approved an application. Any information we know about our available dogs is listed in their bios below this information. Please read the dog's bio thoroughly, we will not respond to emailed questions regarding our dogs if the information is already provided in their bio.
• Step 2: A volunteer will do their best to respond to your application within 24-72 hours of submission to schedule a meeting if approved. WE CANNOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY REASON. The sooner we place a dog into a loving forever home, the sooner we can bring another in desperate need of rescue into our program. Please do not apply unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. If you are expecting a response, please check your spam or junk folder, as correspondence from us may end up there. If you haven't received a response within 72 hours, please email Samantha@palsplacerescue.org to verify your application was received.
• Step 3: Meet the dog! All adults living in the home must be present at your appointment. If all parties agree the dog is a good match for your home at the time of the visit, be prepared to take your new best friend home with you the same day. We send all our dogs home with a collar, a small bag of the food they have been eating, and their medical paperwork. An adoption contract and disclosure form will be completed at that time, and the adoption fee will be collected (each dog's individual fee is listed in the bio). Adoption fees can be paid via cash, check, Zelle, or PayPal. In the case of litters of puppies, we can no longer hold a particular puppy for visits due to a huge increase in no-shows and last-minute cancelations of meet-and-greet appointments over the past several months. An effort is made to schedule visits with puppies in the order the approved applications were received. Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake, high-kill shelters in Kentucky. We often have very little information about the dog's past before rescue. Breed and adult size are often educated guesstimates, and we cannot guarantee either.
