Story
Hi all! I'm Freddy. I'm about seven years old, am neutered. and am the most tennis-ball-loving Jack Russell Terrier you'll ever meet! I will chase that ball as long as you throw it for me! In fact, I bring it right back to you and am always ready for you to throw it again. And if you have a tennis ball waiting for me while I am fetching the other one, we can keep going and going! I willingly trade one for the other because I love chasing them so much! Trade is a fun game for me! I'd love to find an adopter who has experience with JRTs. I'm super smart and catch onto things very quickly! The humans joke that I am a big dog in a small dog's body because I love playing fetch so much! I'm not your typical small lap-dog; cuddling really isn't my jam, although I do like to be around people, just not necessarily in everyone's bubble (unless you have that awesome tennis ball, of course!). I'm looking for an adopter who can teach me structure in a positive way! Like I said, I learn very quickly so if you are patient and willing to teach, I am willing to learn. A house with older people, most likely teenagers and older, would make me so happy! I think it'd be great to have older people to hang out and chill with. Depending on your resident dog, I may do okay! Kitties are fun to chase for me, which is not fun for them, so no kitties, please! I love daily walkies and am an on-the-go dude! I would be an awesome pup to take to training and agility. I am so eager to please and have quite the work drive! I'll be waiting for you! Love, Freddy.

Story
Hi! My name is Max. I was found dumped in the woods in rural WV. I am an extremely sweet boy who likes to snuggle. I am kind of shy and timid, especially at first but I am an easy going boy and will just curl up and hide when I need a break. I am good with other dogs, people, and cats. I am currently living with two toddlers who make me a little nervous but it’s because I am still trying to there them out. I would love a fenced yard and another confident doggy friend to show me the ropes! I am up to date on vaccines and will be neutered and microchipped soon by the rescue. Currently in WV but can be transported by amazing volunteers to my perfect match! I can't wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Oreo, a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a story that breaks our hearts. Oreo’s world was turned upside down when his guardian was tragically murdered, leaving him without a home or a familiar face to comfort him. Now at our rescue, Oreo is understandably very scared and uncertain of his surroundings. This sweet boy needs a patient and understanding adopter who can offer him the time and care he needs to feel safe and loved again. Oreo may be shy at first, but with gentle encouragement and a calm environment, his true affectionate nature will shine through. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who has been through so much, Oreo could be the loyal companion you’ve been searching for.

Story
Meet Juan, a 2-year-old Jack Russell mix who found his way to Famous Fido Rescue through no fault of his own. This little guy is understandably scared and in need of a comforting, quiet, and calm home where he can begin to feel safe again. Juan would thrive in an adult-only household, as the hustle and bustle of a busy environment, especially with children, would be too overwhelming for his sensitive nature. He has a gentle soul and is just waiting for the right person to show him the patience and love he deserves, helping him blossom into the loyal companion he’s meant to be. Juan can be very hyper/ high energy so a home with other pets will be a case by case basis.

Story
Amber first arrived to CRA with her litter of puppies, there after referred to as the Seinfeld litter. They have all since been adopted and while Amber's original family wanted to keep her, it ended up not working out and now she's in the market for her own happily ever after. Amber is a small terrier mix with lots of youthful energy left to entertain you. She is also, without any doubt, a chihuahua mix. She does not sell herself well and she gives absolutely zero craps about it because she knows her foster mom will continue to let her live rent free forever anyways. (Side note from her foster mom: she's holding me hostage please send help.) Amber is "v sus about strangers and would prefer it if you just didn't perceive her at all because quite honestly it's criminal that people should expect to just be in her presence for free without paying some kind of toll or subscription. Once she stops being a diva, she's actually a pretty chill little psych ward escapee. She has an olympic medal in zoomies (don't ask to see it though, just take us at our word please). She's cute as heck and soft like a bunny. She loves trashy TV and talking crap about you co-workers with you. Amber is also a very accomplished body guard and does not stand for people hurting those whom she has decided to tolerate. Have you ever wondered what your dog would do if someone broke into your house? You don't need to worry what Amber would do, cuz I'll tell you. She'll open up a full can of chihuahua sass on any unsavory visitors and make sure they think twice before crossing you again. For this reason, we'd like to avoid putting her in a home with children. Mostly because we're pretty positive she'd teach them about arson and pirating music and how to open a dog crate without using any opposable thumbs and sneak out of the house without being caught and we don't want to be responsible for the corruption of your family dynamic. Amber gets along with other chill dogs and has a very "you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours mentality. That said, she does not do well with barriers and gets extra spicy when she can't properly sniff a butt. For this reason also we'd love to see her land somewhere with a yard that allows her to not have to be denied butt sniffing due to leash restraints and distance. She'd love to meet you and extort you for all the treats in your possession. She's perfectly imperfect but also at the same time exactly who she was meant to be, and we love that for her. Don't pass on this sass! She's worth it! Amber's adoption fee includes her up to date vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative, spay, and microchip. If you are interested in being considered for Amber and live within 3 hours of Chicago, please apply directly. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org.
