Aria is now available for adoption!
She has come a long way since coming into rescue. She is enjoying life, is housebroken, crate trained and has learned basic commands. From near starvation, under medical supervision she's slowly gained weight, and could still gain a little more.
Aria is a sweet and loving Malinois. She is active and enjoys a good run. She is good with other dogs; she currently lives with 4 other male dogs (both large and small). She has a nice off switch (relaxing mode) and likes playing with toys but needs to be supervised (sometimes she likes to chew them). Aria has been around children on occasion and has done well.
If you are interested in adopting Aria, please fill out our application!
Fennec has been in boarding for three months and she so ready for a home of her own. She's not high maintenance, she's snuggly, she adores being a weekend warrior, and she has obedience skills.
She was adopted, lived in that home for two years, and was returned to us when the family had their second child. She lived with a male dog and a toddler in that home.
She's super affectionate and adores her person. She is good/tolerant with male dogs, she is not a fan of females. Her draw back is that she is not cat or small dog safe. She will flip into prey mode, which is not fair to either animal.
She is crate trained, she is house broken, she is fine loose when away, she's a really nice adult dog for someone who doesn't want to deal with a puppy or young dog.
Meet Dani, a loving and resilient pup looking for a forever home. Found emaciated on the streets of Chicago. Dani has been thriving in foster care and has shown just how sweet, loyal, and affectionate she can be. Whether it's cuddling on the couch, going for walks, doing nosework or simply being close to people, Dani loves companionship and is ready to become part of a family.
Dani is energetic but has a nice off switch and gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. She enjoys long walks, nosework, and would do well in agility. She is making great progress with obedience and house training.
Like many rescue dogs, Dani just needs a patient and caring home where she can continue to feel safe and loved. In return, you'll gain a devoted companion who will bring joy, comfort, and unconditional love every day.
If you're looking to open your heart and home to a deserving dog, Dani may be the perfect fit.
Very friendly, did well with other dogs and had no issues with handling. Knows sit.
Very treat motivated. Prefers food over a ball.
Kira is a high-energy young girl! She is very food-motivated. With adequate exercise, she settles down and loves to cuddle.
Ruthie is an amazing dog -- super sweet and smart and lovable. Adopted from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society three years ago as a tiny puppy, Ruthie was one of 12 in a litter left under a bridge. We did a DNA test (which we can share) and she's mainly Siberian Husky, German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois.
She loves to play fetch at the dog park (watching her run is amazing!) or even in the living room with her favorite toy. She loves long walks and is great on a leash. She is totally housebroken and doesn't have accidents or destroy stuff in the house. She's an excellent watchdog and guards us from everything!
Our youngest dog has been bugging Ruthie for fun and play, which she does for a while -- but she can be territorial because of her breed & asserts herself as alpha. We recommend a home without other dogs, cats or small children so she can rule the roost and be your best friend!
We want to find Ruthie a forever family who will give her lots of love and attention. Whoever adopts her will be very lucky indeed. Please reach out for more photos, videos or questions to:

Honey is an 11-month-old Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever home. She is a sweet, affectionate young girl whose favorite place is right beside her people. With her gentle personality and loving nature, Honey is the kind of dog who forms strong bonds and enjoys being part of everything her family does.
Honey enjoys walks, exploring new places, and spending time outdoors, but what she loves most is the companionship that comes with it. She is intelligent (she loves training time!), curious, and eager to please, making her a wonderful match for an active family looking for a loyal companion. She even enjoys splashing in the water, making her an ideal companion for outdoor adventures.
She is fully vetted, dog-friendly, and does well with kids. She loves attention and happily soaks up affection.
Honey was found as a stray on a disc golf course alongside another young dog, Maple. Despite
her rough start, she has remained trusting, resilient, and full of love, and she's ready to find the
family she's been waiting for. Honey is currently being fostered in Tallahassee, FL.
If you're looking for a sweet, devoted best friend who will happily join you on adventures and then curl up by your side at the end of the day, Honey may be the perfect fit. For more information about Honey, including how to adopt her, please contact:

Maple is an approximately 11⁄2-year-old Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever home. She is a smart, athletic girl with an adventurous spirit who is always ready for whatever comes next.
Like many Malinois mixes, Maple thrives when she has something to do. She loves long walks, chasing frisbees, carrying her favorite toys everywhere she goes, and would happily spend the day exploring with her family.
Maple is house-trained, fully vetted, dog-friendly, and does well with kids. She is affectionate and people-oriented but truly shines when she has the opportunity to use both her mind and energy alongside her humans. She is eager to learn, eager to please, and would excel with an active family that enjoys training and spending time outdoors.
Maple was found as a stray on a disc golf course alongside another young dog, Honey. Despite her rough beginning, she has remained confident, friendly, and ready for the second chance she deserves. She is being fostered in Tallahassee, FL.
If you're looking for an active, intelligent companion to share hikes, adventures, and everyday life, Maple may be the perfect fit. For more information about Maple, including how to adopt her, please contact:

Thor is an approximately 18-month-old Belgian Malinois mix looking for his forever home. He is an incredibly sweet boy with a fun, energetic personality and lots of love to give.
Like most Belgians, Thor has plenty of energy and would thrive with an active family or someone who enjoys walks, hikes, training, or outdoor adventures. He is eager to please and enjoys being around people.
Thor has shown no signs of aggression and is is a sweet, affectionate, energetic young dog who loves people and has a fun personality.
Thor was unfortunately left behind by a young owner who moved and didn't want the responsibility anymore (and whose family has dumped dogs in the past). He is now being kept safe by people trying to help him get the second chance he deserves. All veterinary care, neutering, food, and transport assistance will be covered. There is a small adoption fee to be discussed to keep him safe
We are simply trying to find the RIGHT placement for a really good dog who got unlucky in life.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a big heart, Thor may be the perfect fit!
