Story
Otto is a 2-3 year old boy that was found on the streets of Chicago.  After unsuccessful  attempts to locate his owner, he is now in Mag Mutts care and is looking for his forever home.  He is shy/timid at first and takes a little time to warm up. He weighs between 10-12lbs and is looking sharp after just being groomed!. He is good with other dogs, kids unknown at this time. Seems to prefer women over men. More information regarding any restrictions for his forever home to come soon as he gets settled into a foster home! We recommend obedience training for all pups and dogs!        **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                                      If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (       www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $360-$400 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation.        Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. January 24, 2025, 7:41 pm

All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile. After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. We're primarily a volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sundays and Mondays and will not be processing any applications on that day. Do get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart: Park in the PetSmart Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family. PCH supports a 21-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we are not able to provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!

Story
My family left me at the vet's office and they were supposed to come back and get me but I patiently waited for two years and no one came.  I sat, and I sat, and I waited. The vet's office reached out Angel Dog Alliance and asked them to help me because it was so hard just being here when all I wanted was a family. A little about my personality: I want to sit on your lap and have lazy days when it’s cold outside. I ignore cats like they would ignore me. We are about the same size, and other dogs don’t interest me, but I have been around a lot of them. I just want to have my own spot on your lap in our home and in your heart. Kids are ok, I prefer the older ones (over 15 years old) because they won’t step on me by accident since I am not very big. I am 7 years old and we have a long lifespan if we are cared for properly, so please be committed to me. I'm also pretty high energy, so don't let my age fool ya - let's play! I am neutered and up to date on all my shots! ** Cookie is with a professional trainer who is working on getting him all set in basic training for his forever family! ##2252408##

Story
Meet Bitty and Bon Bon (fluffy fur), two-month-old Maltese mix sisters with hearts full of love and a bond that’s unbreakable. After surviving a heartbreaking start to life, confined to a crate and treated as commodities rather than the sweet, living souls they are, these tiny cuddlebugs are ready for a fresh start—together. Bitty, with her spunky, wiry coat, and Bon Bon, with her soft, fluffy fur, balance each other perfectly. They love to snuggle, play, and offer endless affection to anyone willing to give them the chance. These girls need a family ready to embrace the joys and challenges of raising puppies, with the patience, dedication, and love it takes to give them a happily-ever-after.
