Story

Nacho came into our lives 3 months ago when my friend gave him to us. he is a goofy dog who sometimes bumps into things because of his blind right eye he is a little wary of new people and is scared of men he doesn't know but given time and trust he will cuddle up next to you and climb on you like he is a lap dog. he loves to play fetch and tug of war. but be careful balls get him excited and he likes to bite shoes even if your wearing them. he is probably to rough when playing with smaller kids but with training confidence and love he listens and understands and will protect his area and family. now he just needs that forever home. due to some struggles we will not add a charge to his adoption we just want him to find a good home with a family that will take care of him.

Story

Ever seen a scruffy guy transform when someone finally shows him kindness? Hi, I’m Fred! I used to wander the streets of Chicago all alone—just me against the world. When they found me, I was a tangled, matted mess. Nobody had taken care of me in who knows how long, and honestly, I’d learned that the world wasn’t always a safe place. But I’m working on that now. Every day, I’m learning that not all humans will let me down. It’s a process, you know? I’m building trust one gentle interaction at a time. What helps? Walks! I absolutely love going on walks—they make me feel free and happy. And once I know you’re one of the good ones, I turn into a total snuggle bug. There’s nothing better than curling up close to my person after I’ve learned they’re safe. I also love playing with my stuffies. They’re my treasures, and watching me toss them around, you’d never guess I spent so long just trying to survive. Here’s the thing though—I’d really prefer to be the only pet in the house. After everything I’ve been through, I need a home where I can have all the attention and patience to myself while I continue working on trusting this new life of mine. If you’re willing to give a guy like me a chance and help me finish my journey from scared stray to beloved companion, I promise I’ll be worth the wait.

Story

Ever Wanted a Best Friend Who's Equal Parts Smart and Splash-Happy Goofball? Hi, I'm Tundra, and I've got a story to tell. My siblings Glacier and Yukon and I came from pretty rough beginnings in Bastrop, Texas. We were struggling with Demodex mange and in terrible condition when we were rescued. But thanks to the amazing care we received, we bounced back stronger than ever. Here's the thing about me: I'm confident, intelligent, and full of personality. I've got a little extra spice that makes life interesting—I know my own mind and I'm not shy about expressing myself. I'm incredibly smart and pick up on things quickly, which keeps life fun and exciting. But here's what makes me special: I LOVE playing with all other dogs! I'm that friend who wants everyone to have a good time. I'm currently attending training class where I'm learning my manners, and I absolutely adore water—splashing, playing, cooling off on a hot day. Water is my jam! Now here's the hard part: I've grown up at C.A.R.E. My sisters have found their homes and left, and honestly? I really need a home too. I've been waiting, watching them go, wondering when it's my turn. I'm loving and loyal with a spirited personality that keeps things interesting. I've overcome so much already, and now I'm ready to find a family who will love my playful side, my intelligence, and my strong will. Are you ready to give me the home I've been dreaming of? Because I'm ready to finally go home. With confidence and hope, Tundra

Story

Looking for a loyal companion who’s ready to love you with his whole heart? Hi there, I’m Leroy! I’ve been on my own for a while now, and honestly, I’m ready to find where I belong. The staff folks say I’m the “perfect size” – not too big, not too small, just right for snuggling on the couch or going on adventures together. I think they might be onto something. What I want most in this world is pretty simple: a person or family who will help me feel safe. I’ve had to be pretty tough out there on the streets, but deep down, I’m just a dog who wants to curl up next to someone and know that everything’s going to be okay. I dream about those quiet evenings where I can rest my head on your lap and finally let my guard down. The best part? I get along great with other dogs! So if you already have a pup at home, I’d love to be their new best friend. I know what it’s like to be alone, and I think having a buddy would make settling into my new life even better. I’m ready to trade my wandering days for a warm bed, regular meals, and all the love and snuggles you can give. Could you be the one I’ve been searching for? Love, Leroy

Story

Looking for the sweetest, most patient girl who’ll fill your home with love? Hi, I’m Jessie! I know I’m biased, but I think my wrinkly nose is pretty adorable – especially when I scrunch it up because I’m happy to see you. I came in as a stray, but you’d never know it from how loving and understanding I am. Life on the streets taught me patience and kindness, and now I’m ready to share all that gentle sweetness with a family of my own. Here’s the thing about me: I just get it. I understand when you need quiet time, I’m patient when you’re busy, and I’m always kind. I’m the type of dog who adapts to your life and makes everything a little bit better just by being there. Right now, I’m available for foster-to-adopt while I wait for my spay appointment. And guess what? I’m the perfect apartment dog! I don’t need a huge space – just a cozy spot next to you and maybe a soft bed to curl up on. I’m happy with our walks together and then snuggling up at home. If you’re looking for a companion who’s equal parts cute and compassionate, who’ll look at you with understanding eyes and that adorable wrinkled nose, I’m your girl. Ready to open your heart (and maybe your apartment) to me? Love, Jessie
