Story
Hi there my name is Huey and I am a Chihuahua/Schnauzer/Terrier mix about 7 years old. I have been in the rescue for quite some time as it takes me a little time to trust people. I was abused in my past so on my initial meet and greets with new people I am unsure and sudden movements make me scared. Once I get to know you and trust you you can't get rid of me. Once we are BFFs, I am the most loyal, fun, sassy and most of all cuddly friend. I am looking for my forever home with somebody who is either a stay at home, work from home, or retired as I like to be with my people as much as possible. I am completely up to date on my vetting which includes neutered, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, bordetella, negative fecal, negative heartworm, and microchipped. If interested in meeting me please go to the rescue's website www.atailof4paws.org and fill out the application. Once completed email or scan to rescue@atailof4paws.org

Story
Meet Luy! This boy has had a rough time. He originally was in our care in 2017 when he came to our rescue as a newborn puppy with his mom and 3 other siblings. He was adopted as a 3 month old puppy and we thought everything was going well. We were contacted in July from the family who reported having issues with him for the past 4 years with multiple biting incidents and requested to return him. We could not say no, as we stand behind all our animals. Luy is a nervous boy who seems to have some fear aggression and fearful behavior in certain situations. He can also be very sweet, but he really needs an adopter who has experience with dealing with fear aggression and dogs with behavior challenges. Prefer a quiet, all adult home. He does get along with other smaller dog, but we would recommend no large dogs and no cats. Luy deserves a chance at a happily ever after with someone who understands what he needs to thrive- patience and understanding and he needs to be allowed to build his trust at his pace in a safe environment. Luy is crate trained and does well with housetraining. Interested applicants can find an application on our website at www.perfectpooches.org.

Story
Adopt Minnie: A Sweet Senior Chihuahua Mix Looking for Her Forever Home! Meet Minnie, a lovable little Chihuahua mix with a heart full of affection! At approximately 11 years old, Minnie has blossomed from a tiny 5-pound pup into a healthy 8.5 pounds and is ready to find her forever family. Minnie is a sweet, gentle soul who loves to be around her humans. She is deaf but is always determined to find her human. The ideal home for her would be with someone who works from home and has plenty of time for couch snuggles. Minnie will howl at times when she can’t find her human. Due to her back legs she can’t do stairs, but she’ll be right by your side for all the love and attention you can give! Here’s what you need to know about Minnie: Age: Estimated to be around 11 years old. Health: She is deaf and flinches when raising your hand near her head. She has knee/hip issues with both back legs. Weight: A healthy 8.5 lbs (up from 5 lbs!) Personality: Sweet, loving, and eager for you to sit next to her on the couch. She sleeps a lot during the day but wants all your attention at night. She does not like to be crated. She doesn’t play with toys but will bark to get your attention. She likes people, but on her term. You need to let her come up to you first when meeting her. She does well on short car rides but if they are too long she will bark and get anxious. Other pets: She really sparked up with other dogs so ideally she would like another small dog as a companion. She gets along well with dogs, but we're unsure about her reaction to cats Potty training: Minnie has a small bladder and needs be let out frequently. She is working on using potty pads and has come a long way. Special needs: She can’t do stairs, so a home with few or no stairs would be ideal. She does not mind being carried. Minnie may be a senior, but she still has so much love to give! She’s looking for a warm, caring home where she can enjoy the simple pleasures of life—like being with her favorite person on the couch. If you have the time, patience, and love to offer this sweet girl, Minnie would make the perfect addition to your family. Minnie's adoption donation of $250 helps cover the cost of her medical care. Adopters must live within 1.5 hour driving distance from Romeoville, IL. Home visit and reference checks required.

Story
Calling all DIVAS.... If ever you wanted a “diva” companion to be your best friend, look no further. This adorable little gal is TRIXIE; she is a long-haired, nub-tail, Chihuahua or Papillon mix who is about 3 years old and approximately 10 pounds. Trixie is a complex girl with so much love to share with her human. She prefers to be the center of your attention and will let others know it - a pretty typical trait for some Chihuahuas. Trixie is content as the only dog but will need an adopter who is home more often (work from home or stay at home mom). Trixie will be selective with other dogs. She will take a couple days to warm up to new people, but she bonds strongly once she knows you. Trixie LOVES her toys and would play all day with you if you let her.  Trixie is very communicative and will let you know, as you can see from one of the videos, when she wants to play, or want something, or is seeking attention. She requires a home without children. Trixie is looking to be spoiled rotten by her adopter, giving her the love and attention she craves. This little gal prefers a fenced in yard compared to going for walks on a leash for bathroom breaks, but with practice we believe she will adjust to leash walking if necessary.  This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, tested for diseases, provided inoculations, been dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.  Our online application isn’t working correctly so please contact us so we can send a copy via email to you.  A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area. All dogs and puppies live in foster homes, providing you as the adopter, with information on the animal's behaviors, needs, and requirements. We are always in search of fosters care providers. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.     March 3, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story
This little sweetie is CASPER, a 6 pound, 2-year-old, long-haired Chihuahua mix. Casper is about as sweet as they come - he’s so lovable and very cuddly. He really just wants to be your best friend. Casper is more interested in people than other dogs, but he has enjoyed playing with one of the other dogs in his foster home. Because Casper is intimidated by most other dogs so he would need to go into a home with a small dog that is passive and calm. He enjoys playing with one of the other dogs in his foster home.  Casper has moderate energy, walks well on a leash, is completely housebroken, and will play with squeaky toys if enticed; he really prefers to hang out with his people. Due to his small size, Casper is approved for an adult-only or adult and teens household. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, been provided vaccines, tested for disease, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.   ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.  Our online application isn’t working correctly so please contact us so we can send a copy via email to you.  A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area.
