Story

Meet Buddy — Our Sweet One-Eyed Wonder! Buddy is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu (19 lbs) with a heart full of love and a personality that will steal yours. He might be a little shy at first due to his eye loss, but give him a few moments, and he’ll warm up right away. Buddy loves lounging by your side, playing with toys, and enjoying his favorite snacks. He’s calm, affectionate, and just waiting to be your loyal companion. Buddy gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do well in a home with respectful kids who are patient as he adjusts to new surroundings. He is also housetrained and leash trained! He is up to date on shots, de-wormed, micro-chipped and will be neutered soon. Let’s find Buddy the forever home he deserves — a place full of love, patience, and cozy cuddles!

Story

Emily is looking for sponsors! She is a 10 pound, female shih-tzu born on 12/05/21. Emily was released by a breeder who decided they did not need her anymore. She lived in a cage at the breeder most of her life and has recently started to learn about being in a home with her foster mom. Unfortunately, she is very skittish and scared of everything around her and needs more time to decompress. We hope she gets better with time and can become adoptable.

Story

Hi, I’m Ivy I’m a 5-month-old Shih Tzu with a pink bow, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. I love toys. I love other dogs. Playtime is my happy place, and cuddles? Even better. I’m sweet, and always ready to be your little sidekick. I may be small, but my personality is mighty. I also want to share my story… I was going to be euthanized by my breeder — simply because I wasn’t “perfect.” Thankfully, a rescue stepped in and saved my life. Here’s my truth: I’m incontinent and I don’t have control of my back legs. I wear a diaper (and I’m very good about it!), need help with changes, and can’t do stairs. But none of that stops me from living a full, joyful life. I scoot wherever I want to go and don’t let anything dim my sparkle. I’m looking for a foster home or a forever family who sees my heart before my challenges. I’ll need a little extra care — and I’ll give you a lifetime of love in return.

Buttercup

Female, 8 mos

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Buttercup and her sister and brother, Bubbles and Brodie were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd this year so they are 8 months old. Buttercup has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs just under 7 pounds and is probably full grown now. Buttercup is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Buttercup is a little bossy but plays great with her brother and sister. we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them but would always want to be the boss. She would be fine with older children, and we are not sure about cats but the bossy part would be the same at first. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Story

This cutie-patootie is Miloe, a 8 year old, 12-15 pound, Shih Tzu mix with the most adorable underbite. Miloe is completely potty trained, crate trained, and a huge love bug! He loves to snuggle up with his people. He is easy-going with medium energy, not a high energy dog, but loves walks! In addition, he enjoys mild playing with other dogs, and would be great for kids 8 and older. Because he has always had people home with him throughout the day, we are seeking adopters who can provide that for him. Miloe is crate trained and only uses it for comfort when he wants some “alone” time. He would love a fenced yard to run but will walk on a leash. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, tested for parasites and other diseases, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE BY REQUEST from acaringplace@comcast.netA 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.
