My story

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

Arizona girl is a 3-4 year old shih tzu looking for her forever home! Arizona is a (commercial) breeder release mama, looking for her fresh start. She is currently in a foster home, where she has been spending time decompressing and learning how to dog. Things to note about Arizona: She is dog friendly and currently lives with a foster brother her size. She is adjusting well in her foster home but as this is her first time living in a home we always ask for patience and positivity as she adjusts to her forever home. She is doing well on a leash and continuing working on crate training. She loves a good chew bone and is a lower energy kind of gal who loves to be by your side. If you live within 3 hours of Chicago and would like to be considered for Arizona's forever home please apply directly. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org. Arizona's adoption fee includes up to date vaccines and preventatives, spay, heartworm test (negative) and microchip. If you are viewing from adopt-a-pet to be considered a potential home for this dog please head to our website www.chicagorescueauthority.org and click on our adopt tab to apply directly!

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!
