🐾 ❤️ FOSTER HOMES NEEDED ❤️ 🐾

Somewhere tonight, a little dog is waiting.

Waiting for a soft bed.
Waiting for a kind voice.
Waiting for someone to show them they're safe.

That's where fosters come in.

At Windy City Canine Rescue, we provide everything you need:
🐶 Food
🦴 Supplies
🏥 Veterinary Care
🤝 Ongoing Support

You provide the belly rubs, the couch cuddles, the daily walks, and the love they deserve until their forever family comes along.

Fostering isn't just giving a dog a place to stay—it's giving them a chance to heal, trust again, and learn what it feels like to be part of a family.

And while they may only be with you for a short time, the impact you make lasts a lifetime.

Could you be the person who helps a small dog's next chapter begin? ❤️

If you are interested in becoming a foster home head on over to our website and fill out the foster home application https://www.windycitycaninerescue.com/volunteer

Because every forever home starts with a foster home.

🌞 Introducing Apollo 🌞

Handsome and affectionate, this 10 month old Shih Tzu is looking to bring his gentlemanly manners to a furever home of his very own. 🎩

With his sweet and gentle nature, Apollo prefers an environment that doesn’t throw big changes or surprises his way. He seems to feel safest in a calmer type of home. His playfulness takes a more reserved form so his brand of fun doesn’t involve boisterous or rough play. Keeping this in mind, we think Apollo would do best in a home without large dogs or young children under 10 years old. 🏡

Though he does well in his kennel at night, Apollos’s operatic songs during the day hint that he does not appreciate being kenneled while alone. When left with access to a p*e pad, Apollo has been doing well when allowed to free-roam in the house while his humans are away. With some quality television for entertainment and a lack of tempting snacks within paw’s reach, Apollo has been able to handle up to 8 hours without mischief. What a polite chap he is! 📺⭐️

If you are looking for a friendly little fellow to enjoy a quiet life with, Apollo could be just the guy you’ve been waiting for.

**ADOPTION PENDING**

🧸 Introducing Scruffy 🧸

Currently about 15 pounds, this highly intelligent Schnauzer-Poodle mix puppy is proof that big energy can come in small packages. 🎁

As a clever and active young guy, Scruffy is looking for a home that can provide him with the structure and stimulation he requires to thrive. A constructive outlet for his vivacity along with clear boundaries and positive reinforcement will keep Scruffy on the path towards developing the kind of manners to match such an angelic face. Due to his need for a calm environment and routine, Scruffy would do best in a home without young children under 10 years old. 🧘

Though he may at times appear to choose the side of chaos, Scruffy has actually been doing very well with his crate training and his potty training. Apart from a couple of understandable puppy piddles when he first arrived at his foster home, Scruffy has been putting in a stellar potty performance. He has also managed to make fast friends with some of his foster home’s resident dogs. Playful and social, Scruffy loves having friends around him but he much prefers playmates his own size. 👯

If you find yourself in need of a partner for your active lifestyle and have room in your lap for a delightfully peppy pup, Scruffy might just be The One for you! 😍

***ADOPTED***

🌱 Luigi Pupdate 🌱

We may not know the specific breeds that make up this little mixed-breed fella but we do know that he is 100% pure Good Boy. 👑

With his brother already adopted, litttle Luigi has been learning how to find his courage from within. Although his bravery grows every day, he does best when he has another dog by his side. Even the biggest bravest boys sometimes need to face life’s challenges with (or behind) a friend. 🐾🫣

Luigi’s exact age is a bit of a mystery but we believe him to be under 6 months. Even though he is still a young pup, he continues to delight his foster mom with both his potty training and his crate training. He lets his people know when it is time to go outside and has no trouble catching some quiet Zs in his kennel. Playful yet well-behaved, Luigi sure seems like the kind of puppy we all dream about. 😇
