My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Amber first arrived to CRA with her litter of puppies, there after referred to as the Seinfeld litter. They have all since been adopted and while Ambers original family wanted to keep her, it ended up not working out and now shes in the market for her own happily ever after. Amber is a small terrier mix with lots of youthful energy left to entertain you. She is also, without any doubt, a chihuahua mix. She does not sell herself well and she gives absolutely zero craps about it because she knows her foster mom will continue to let her live rent free forever anyways. (Side note from her foster mom: shes holding me hostage please send help.) Amber is v sus about strangers and would prefer it if you just didnt perceive her at all because quite honestly its criminal that people should expect to just be in her presence for free without paying some kind of toll or subscription. Once she stops being a diva, shes actually a pretty chill little psych ward escapee. She has an olympic medal in zoomies (dont ask to see it though, just take us at our word please). Shes cute as heck and soft like a bunny. She loves trashy TV and talking crap about you co-workers with you. Amber is also a very accomplished body guard and does not stand for people hurting those whom she has decided to tolerate. Have you ever wondered what your dog would do if someone broke into your house? You dont need to worry what Amber would do, cuz Ill tell you. Shell open up a full can of chihuahua sass on any unsavory visitors and make sure they think twice before crossing you again. For this reason, wed like to avoid putting her in a home with children. Mostly because were pretty positive shed teach them about arson and pirating music and how to open a dog crate without using any opposable thumbs and sneak out of the house without being caught and we dont want to be responsible for the corruption of your family dynamic. Amber gets along with other chill dogs and has a very you stay out of my way and Ill stay out of yours mentality. That said, she does not do well with barriers and gets extra spicy when she cant properly sniff a butt. For this reason also wed love to see her land somewhere with a yard that allows her to not have to be denied butt sniffing due to leash restraints and distance. Shed love to meet you and extort you for all the treats in your possession. Shes perfectly imperfect but also at the same time exactly who she was meant to be, and we love that for her. Dont pass on this sass! Shes worth it! Amber's adoption fee includes her up to date vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative, spay, and microchip.

Additional adoption info

Every dog is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a forever-home match. We are careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right dog with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet’s permanent home. These steps ensure that we have all the information needed to make the best placement for you or your family.

More about this rescue

At Chicago Rescue Authority, our mission is to create a compassionate world where every animal is treated with love, respect, and dignity. We are dedicated to educating the public about the adverse realities of the mass-production industry for puppies, raising awareness about responsible pet adoption and ownership, and actively working towards reducing the overpopulation of dogs in shelters.

Our promise to Chicago is to build our rescue on the tenets of teamwork, education and compassion. We will listen to the concerns and ideas of those around us and be ready to grow alongside this rescue and this mission.

Volunteers, fosters, donors and adopters will be the backbone of this organization, just like every other animal welfare non-profit. We will be hosting a variety of fundraisers and mixers throughout the year aimed at building our support network. We can’t wait to meet all the animals whose lives we are going to change!
