My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Alaska is not your typical attention-seeking dog. She had a rough start in life - being used for breeding at a commercial puppy farm until she was 4 - so she is hesitant to trust people at first. She is quiet, calm, and mostly just wants to coexist with few expectations somewhere. She enjoys being pet and receiving love and affection, however she is not yet confident enough to ask for it or seek it out. She does great with other dogs, but at this time we feel that young children will stress her out too much. Alaska has a lot of love to give, but she needs a quiet and patient family that can afford her the time to come out of her shell and realize that she will be safe and loved forever. She will need a family that is willing to go slow and meet her where she’s at and continue to let her decompress and learn how to be loved.
Alaska is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. If you are interested in being considered for Alaska and live within 3 hours of Chicago please apply directly. If you have questions prior to applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org.

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.
