Story
My husband and I got Koda as a puppy right before we got married and have had him for 8 years. He is a very sweet boy, very loyal, very loving but he doesn't do well with kids he doesn't know or kids who move fast (ie: running, jumping, yelling, etc). He has snapped at my kids (5y & 1y) once or twice and just recently snapped and lunged at a neighbor kid who was over playing in the yard who he was fine with up until the minute he decided he wasn't. He is unpredictable with children and I just cannot have that in my house anymore. We love Koda and it pains us to have had to come to this decision but he deserves better, if kids stress him out, he deserves to live the rest of his life without kids around him regularly. Koda will do best in a home with an older couple, he occasionally stays with my in-laws who are in their mid-late 60's, he LOVES being there. I am looking for someone who will take him and love him so much and care for him for the rest of his life.

Story
Poirot is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Poirot is: Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized - Completed heartworm treatment in May 2024, and will be due for a retest in January 2025 at his adopter's expense. He will need to continue with exercise restriction until then. More about Poirot: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, for up to 8 hours Leash walking: Working on it! He has shown some frustration/reactivity when he sees other dogs on walks, and can then pull and bark. He will also pull to chase rats and squirrels and cats. He will need to keep working on this! Dog social: He has done well meeting other dogs either off leash or in an open area (like a park or lawn). He's also successfully shared a home with another dog in the past. Cat social: He lives with a dog-savvy resident cat in his foster home and has been doing well after a slow, proper intro period. He is playful with the cat, so may do best with confident, dog-savvy cats. Kid friendly: He has done well in interactions with kids of various ages. Poirot likes: - His bucking bronco playtime, where he takes the tiniest squeaky toy and tosses it around to pounce on it - Laying by your feet to quietly keep you company - Going on adventures and sniffing everything Poirot is as soft as a cloud and is very sweet and gentle too. He is both chill and fun, as he loves to play and go for walks and explore. He loves to be near his people, and is an excellent WFH companion but is also just fine at home alone when you're away. He gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids and is overall just a gem! He would benefit from continuing to work on calm leash manners. Poirot's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to be your constant companion! Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/ *** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

** Roo currently in a foster home, and is available for adoption! Email applications@chicagocaninerescue.org to set up a meet + greet!**Greetings, everyone! My name is Roo, and I may be 15 years young, but I've still got plenty of pep in my step and love in my heart. I'm here to prove that age is just a number, and I'm ready to find my perfect retirement home where I can spend my golden years surrounded by love and comfort.I may be a senior, but that doesn't mean I've lost my zest for life. I enjoy leisurely walks where I can explore and sniff to my heart's content. I also love hanging out with other pups and sniffing everything I can! One thing is guaranteed, I'll be indulging in a good nap or two.I do have some special needs-I'm on a prescription kidney diet to keep me healthy, and I have issues with urinary incontinence that require a bit of extra care. But don't let that deter you! With the right family who understands my needs and is willing to give me the love and attention I deserve, I'll thrive and bring so much joy into your life.I have a gentle and loving personality that shines through in every tail wag and affectionate nuzzle. I get along well with other pets and adore human companionship. I'm a loyal friend who's always there to brighten your day with my wagging tail, silly trot and soulful eyes.If you're looking for a mature companion who's full of love, wisdom, and a lifetime of experiences, then look no further than me, Roo!** Submit your foster or adoption application at ChicagoCanineRescue.org! **

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE. Adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GDR/Dog Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

TEXAS ADOPTION ONLY Do you see my tongue?? I mean, it looks almost ELECTRIC blue!! That is how you know I am a real chow boy, well, that and my chow 'tude!! I know that so so many people love love my breed, and the rescue people are excited to find my forever family!!

So, I have learned to trust people since the rescue people take such great care of me, and I definitely need to meet my new family before we go on our merry way :) I have a gorgeous black coat, a gorgeous black tongue and am ready for adoption!! I can't wait to meet you!! ADOPT.... DON'T SHOP!!!! SO MANY LIVES' DEPEND ON YOU!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX only)
