My personality

My story

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

Santa Paws (Chief) is a sweet, happy, playful 10 month old lab mix. He was somehow adopted by an older couple looking for a "plug and play" addition to the family. But like any normal puppy, he needs a little training. He is good on housetraining, but he likes to jump up on people and the owner didn't want her clothes getting dirty. Yes we get dogs surrendered and abandoned for all kinds of reasons that make us scratch our heads. Santa Paws is currently with a trainer that will help with that so this sweet boy can be on good behavior for his new family. He is neutered, HW negative and UTD on all required vaccines. Santa paws has a significant scar across his face that was from some sort of puppy injury. We just want this sweet pup to have a safe, loving home where he will be cherished. He would be a great addition to a young, relatively active family. If you would like to be Santa Paws' hero this Christmas, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. and we will send our info and app. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Additional adoption info

All our rescues work hard to find loving homes for the dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that find their way into their care. These animals come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and all of them are looking for a forever home.

They will be completely vaccinated, vetted, neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. They are transported to you with our USDA licensed and certified transport – Rescue Riders LLC, “The most animal-friendly transport on the road.”

Their adoption fees vary but, in all cases, it covers the animals vetting, vaccinations, spay/neuter as well as their foster care, and their transportation to your area.

Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal.

ADOPT, DON'T SHOP.

Go meet their pets

Our rescues generally do not have an actual shelter building in the Chicago area. This means it is often not possible to meet these babies prior to their adoption however all of these rescues have been rehoming dogs to the north for many years and are happy to offer you references who can fill you in on their experience and how well the process works.

There is generally a money-back guarantee and a mechanism for returning the dog to the rescue if needed. All these rescues then work to re-home the animal. None are returned to a shelter. We never leave a rescue behind!

More about this rescue

Rescue Riders Cooperative is a group of rescues across the southeast that are linked together by our love of animals and our desire to see as many as possible in the loving arms of a new family. Each rescue is independently run but realizing that there is strength in numbers, we have formed a cooperative to work together to place as many animals as possible.

Not only do the rescues save these animals and give them badly needed health care but they also work tirelessly in their home communities to help educate people regarding the importance of spay & neuter and how it reduces pet overpopulation.

When you adopt one of their dogs you help with this mission. We all thank you for that support and for opening your home and heart to an animal who needs you. You are a hero!
