Story
FERN Available for Adoption or Foster Hello everyone! I'm Fern, charming canine observer with a heart as big as my curious eyes. Although my journey started as a stray, I was fortunate enough to be picked up by Chicago Animal Care and Control. Then…I clearly won the hearts of the C.A.R.E. Kennel Captain team with my joyful, goofy smile. I am a delightful girl who finds pure joy in the simple pleasures of life. Whether perched on a bench, a cozy couch, or even a wall, my favorite pastime is watching the world unfold before me. True to my unique personality, I prefer leisurely strolls, especially when accompanied by a trusted human companion. However, my true love lies in cozying up near the kitchen counter, eagerly awaiting any opportunity for a tasty treat! Kindness, respect and treats are the key to my heart. Beyond my endearing qualities, some of my favorite pastimes include:  indulging in a relaxing bath, gleefully pulling apart soft toys (without swallowing, of course!), helping to clean any dish or container in sight, and going on thrilling adventures (like car rides or Boslys). In my ideal home, tranquility reigns supreme. I would thrive as your one and only furry companion in a quiet atmosphere where I can fully unwind. I have learned a lot in my time with C.A.R.E…. I know many tricks and want to show you. I need a forever human who will keep my education going. So, if you're seeking a loyal companion who delights in life's small wonders and brings joy wherever she goes, look no further than me! With my infectious spirit and heartwarming  personality, I would hope to steal your heart from the moment you meet me. I have been spayed and microchipped and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out a foster survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-foster-survey Love and licks,  FernAugust 18, 2024, 9:00 pm

Story
HENRY Available for adoption. FAST FACTSMale, Medium Mixed breed, 52 pounds, 2 years oldFriendly, Affectionate, Gentle, Eager to PleaseModerately ActivePeople FriendlyDog FriendlyKids over 6 years oldPotty TrainedCrate Trained Greetings from your friend Henry. When C.A.R.E. rescued me from Chicago Care and Animal Control, where I was brought in as a stray, I was one sick puppy. Thin, weak, and suffering from pneumonia, I received the best medical treatment and then was nursed back to health by my wonderful foster mom. Now that I’m ready to find my forever home, let me tell you a bit about myself. My foster mom describes me as a real people lover. My #1 activity is hanging around and schmoozing with humans, but I’m also good at entertaining myself. Indoors, I enjoy chewing on  Nylabones and getting kibble out of my orange roller ball. Another of my favorite pastimes is watching the birds and squirrels from the living room window.. I’m a very smart boy who already knows several commands, including come, sit, down, stand, and touch. I always signal when I need to go outside to do my business, and wait patiently while my harness  is put on, and sit when I come back in to have my feet wiped off. I love hanging out watching Tv with my foster brother or playing catch with a ball. I absolutely love older kids. I have learned that  i like my crate as I have my breakfast and dinner in there so it is one of my happy places , but I don’t really need it. Just tell me “bed” or “rug,” and I’ll go there and settle nicely. I love going on walks and will walk forever taking in all the sights and sniffs of the world and love a good romp in a back yard. Summing up, I’m a gentle, loving, big-hearted guy who dreams of being your best canine companion through all of life’s adventures. Are you ready to team up? Then please fill out an adoption application right away, because I can’t wait to meet you! I have been microchipped and will be neutered and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey Love and licks, HenryAugust 18, 2024, 9:00 pm

This exuberant lab/bully breed mix is the ultimate adventure buddy. He's like a walking party-wherever he goes, the fun follows!

Zuko can't wait to join you for all the fun and excitement that life has to offer!Zuko can easily be startled by people that come up and surprise him. Our team is supporting him through training and management! Zuko wears a muzzle while out and about. This tool allows him the freedom to safely explore outdoors and enjoy new situations!Zuko knows a lot of fancy tricks! Not only is he well rounded in his basic obedience and is thoroughly house broken and crate trained, he has a strong recall, knows ‘stand', ‘spin', ‘paw', ‘heel', ‘ leave it' and extended ‘stay' until he's given the ‘come' command, as well as a modified ‘rollover' and our personal favorite 'sit pretty'. That said, once he's burned off some energy he is quick to lay down on a cool floor or at your feet on the couch. At his foster, he sleeps in his own dog bed and does not jump into the human bed at all. He does well in a fenced yard where he can safely roam but mainly prefers to sunbathe. He likes to follow you around and give a little boop snoot so you know he's there. His fosters say he's smart, energetic and loving, apply to make this wonderful boy your yours!Rescued from a shelter in Arkansas where he was found as a stray, Zuko is now on the lookout for his forever home. He's longing for an active family who can keep up with his zest for life and provide him with plenty of playtime, exercise, and, most importantly, love.With Zuko around, every day is an opportunity for excitement and laughter. He sees the world as one big playground and is determined to make the most of every moment. If you're in need of a best pal who's as fun-loving and outgoing as they come, then Zuko is the perfect match for you!Zuko's adoption fee is sponsored by his amazing foster family.

Story
** Rocky Road is available for foster or adoption! We'd love to get him out of the busy shelter and into a home environment. Email applications@chicagocaninerescue.org to set up a meet + greet! **Just like the classic ice cream flavor, Rocky Road is a delightful mix of sweet and silly! This young beefcake is on a mission to snuggle your socks off and make you laugh until your sides ache. Rocky Road's favorite hobbies? Fetching, tugging, and turning every moment into a comedy show! He's got a flair for the dramatic and doesn't hold back his enthusiastic barks when it's playtime.While Rocky Road enjoys being the solo star of the show-no other pets needed-he's the one-dog circus act you'll adore. His idea of a perfect day includes a tug-of-war tournament, chasing toys with the intensity of a professional athlete, and a post-playtime snooze on the couch, where he dreams of becoming a world champion snuggler.Rocky Road isn't a fan of the dog park scene-he's more of a "leashed walk with a side of silly" kind of guy. He's a big, boisterous goofball, so he needs a handler who can match his enthusiasm and handle his comedic energy. He might need some extra TLC during transitions, but with Rocky Road, you're signing up for endless laughs and wagging tails.Rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control in 2022, Rocky Road has made a fabulous recovery from some flea-induced hair drama and is now thriving and ready to bring joy to your life. If you're looking for a loyal companion who can keep you entertained with his playful antics and endless love, Rocky Road is your guy! Reach out today and let this hilarious, heartwarming pup become the newest member of your family!** Submit your foster or adoption application at ChicagoCanineRescue.org! **Rocky's annual care has been generously donated by his guardian Angel - David S.
