Kipper is a small pup with a big personality. Just like the snack he’s named after, he’s packed with flavor!

At about 8 weeks old, Kipper has a warm-brown, wiry coat and is expected to grow into a handsome 40–50 lb dog.

He’s cheerful, bouncy, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether he’s exploring new places, making new friends, or sniffing out treats, Kipper approaches everything with enthusiasm and curiosity.

This happy-go-lucky puppy is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow, learn, and share his endless joy. Could Kipper be the perfect addition to your family?

Could you be the bridge between rescue and a forever home?

Fostering saves lives. When you open your home to a rescue dog, you give them safety, comfort, and a chance to thrive while they wait for adoption.

Join us at our upcoming Volunteer Orientation to learn how fostering works and how you can help dogs in need.

📅 Saturday, May 30th | 10:00 - 11:15 AM | 570 N. Smith Street, Palatine

Not able to foster right now? There are still so many ways to make a difference:
🐶 Work hands-on at our adoption center
🚗 Help transport dogs to safety
🎉 Assist at adoption events
📸 Support marketing and outreach efforts

Whether you can foster, volunteer a few hours a month, or help behind the scenes, every role helps save lives.

Our girl Zelda stole the spotlight on CBS Chicago’s Pet of the Week this morning, and honestly… we get it. Between her sweet face, the charm, and those beautiful eyes, she’s basically a natural in front of the camera.

We’re so grateful to the team at CBS Chicago for helping rescue pups like Zelda get seen by more potential adopters.

Biscuit is a 3-month-old sweetheart with a warm heart and playful spirit! He’s doing great with house training, learning crate time, and already knows “sit.” This smart pup loves people, enjoys cuddles and naps, and gets along well with other dogs big and small. Like any puppy, he’s teething and learning what’s okay to chew, but he’s eager to please and catching on quickly. Biscuit loves squeaky toys, lounging in the grass, and soaking up all the affection he can get. Sweet, snuggly, and full of charm, Biscuit is ready to find his forever family!

Copey is simply learning to be a dog as a dog should be – loved! Who could honestly resist his big brown eyes? Copey is in need of a seasoned family that will enjoy teaching him to enjoy the “dog’s life” as it should be. He can be skittish, but never aggressive. Copey has been great with kids, though older kids probably best with this sweet boy.

Curious about other dogs of all sizes, Copey will show interest in a passive way. He loves to sleep with a favorite toy but needs to learn all the joy that comes from playing with those toys, too. He loves being outside, so a yard will really benefit his growth.

Copey eats well and is not picky. He sleeps in a crate and feels comfort in it, but only with the door open. Don’t, worry, though. He gets in no mischief, has had no accidents, and uses the doggy door regularly to do his business. This sweet, quiet, timid boy is in need of love, play, and patience and he so deserves that! Come meet Copey and see if he is your match.

Pickles is an adorable 3-year-old pup with endless energy, big ears, and even bigger kisses. He loves being part of the action, whether it’s yard time, house projects, walks, or couch snuggles.

Pickles enjoys other dogs but likes to be the boss, so he does best with laid-back canine friends. He’s still working on sharing toys and bones, and he benefits from a consistent routine for potty breaks. A fenced yard for safe exploring would make him very happy.

He loves being close to his people and is crate trained if needed. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate little sidekick, Pickles is your guy!
