Mr. Lucky Ducky is a charming, affectionate, lovable, distinguished senior gentleman looking for a loving home! This adorable little old man was found as a stray and found himself at Chicago Animal Care and Control. A chaotic, loud, scary animal control facility is not the most comfortable place for any dog, but shelter life is especially rough on the seniors. Senior dogs should spend their golden years in comfort, surrounded by love and care, not in a small, cold, stainless steel cage or concrete run. Thankfully, a Pal's Place foster home spotted Lucky and immediately stepped up and opened their home and heart to him so we could bring Lucky into our foster program. Lucky appears to be a Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and is estimated to be between 10-12 years of age. His photos are a bit deceiving and make him look a little larger than he is, but our precious, petite little fella weighs just under 10 pounds.
Lucky is a low-maintenance, easy-going dog who loves practically anyone he meets. He is a couch-cuddling champ with superior snuggle skills, a true lap dog! Lucky loves his food and snacks, going for short walks around the neighborhood, his warm, cozy sweaters, and the companionship of other dogs (but can be overwhelmed by very energetic young ones) and cats. What he loves most of all, though, is simply being with the humans he loves. Lucky is also well-behaved in the home and housebroken. His eyesight is not the best anymore, and he prefers to be carried up and down stairs, but overall, he's a hardy, healthy senior. He doesn't ask for much of his retirement home, just a warm, cozy bed and daily cuddles. What's not to love about this guy?! He's pretty much perfect in our eyes and will make one lucky household very happy. Lucky deserves a loving home that will love, spoil, and dote on him in his golden years. Could it be yours? He recently had a dental cleaning and senior bloodwork (all good!) and is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm tested (negative). Lucky's adoption fee is $275. He is being fostered in Lake Geneva, WI, and can be seen by appointment once an application has been submitted to the rescue. You can complete our adoption application online at palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ For more information, you can email palsplace1@hotmail.com or reach out directly to their foster mom, Sandi, at (773) 991-4004

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.
