My story

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

Tom Nook is an estimated 3 year old Shiba who is looking for his forever home.
Tom found his way to us from a mass production mill situation. With that being said he is a shy guy looking for a home that can provide patience and positive reassurance as he learns to be comfortable, confident and honestly just a dog!
Things to note about Tom:
- He is crate trained but does seem to get into things when left out.
- He is potty trained but as he gains confidence he may need a little bit of reminding as this is his first time living in a home.
- He is dog friendly. He is neutral guy!
- He is a SHADOW in the best way with a gentle soul.
Experience with this breed will be a plus but of course understanding, education and proper training will benefit Tom to continue setting him up for success.

Tom is available for adoption within 3 hours of Chicago. If you are interested in being considered for his forever home apply directly. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org. Tom's adoption fee includes his up to date vaccines and preventatives, heartworm test (negative), neuter 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!
