Boston is a part of the Independence Day family who found themselves in a shelter just before the 4th of July. Thanks to our dedicated foster homes and volunteers, this family came to CRGI.

Mamma is Lady Liberty and she did a fantastic job raising them! Daddy is unknown. Boston is now part of a new foster family and is looking forward to finding his own perfect forever home!

Medical Hold

Jasper is 9 years old, picked up as a stray, and was in a shelter. He was chipped. Great news, right? Sadly not, his owners no longer wanted him and chose to leave him in the shelter. While you and I can’t even imagine leaving our family member in a shelter, this is a familiar story to those of us in rescue.

When the shelter shaved his matted coat they realized he needed EMERGENCY vetting. His feet had open wounds and were severely infected. He was feverish, weak and having trouble standing. Our incredible volunteers jumped into action to get this boy to the vet immediately. He was so weak and had to be carried into the vet.

Medical Hold

Rush was surrendered by his family to the Chicago Animal Care and Control shelter. After we were contacted by the CACC we were able to pull this boy out quickly. A noisy shelter is no place for a senior dog.

Thor has spent his short life living outside on a chain until he came to CRGI.
The minute Thor walked into his foster home he knew he never wanted to leave. And he doesn't have too! His foster family fell in love and decided to keep him. Thor has an incredible family to call his own!

Looking for a loyal friend who won’t spill your secrets to your co-workers or post embarrassing photos on social media? Want a pal with a kind, sweet, and gentle heart? Would you prefer a good listener? How about one who doesn’t judge? Well, that’s our Buddy Boy!

Buddy Boy is a quiet roommate who keeps his space nice and clean. He stays home alone and has never stolen the valuables. Being a mature nine years old, Buddy Boy has experience with being a good house-guest. He knows right where the bathroom is and uses it accordingly. He likes to sleep near his friends, but prefers to sleep on the carpet or a rug. He doesn’t really like hard wood floors. Can you blame him?

Poppy is a beautiful 4-year-old sable-and-white rough collie who has the wisdom of an older dog with the playfulness of a young puppy. She was turned into us because she was reported to have a strong pray drive for small animals. Her foster mom reports that Poppy might chase fast-running animals, but as long as they are sedate and not running, she minds her own business.

She is housebroken, generally quiet, crate-trained and walks nicely on her leash.

Adopted

Sadie is a little fighter. She survived Parvo and is doing great! Her foster family loves her to pieces and decided to adopt her.

Meet Ross!  Ross is part of our Independence Day family who found themselves in a shelter during the 4th of July holiday.  Ross came to us with 5 brothers and sisters. His mom, Lady Liberty, is a collie, but we are unsure what breed(s) dad might be.

Shilo is a handsome, happy, fun and energetic boy.  Ready to play fetch any time!

Want a dog to train with? Shilo would love that! He can show you just how smart he is! He is very food motivated and eager to please.  He likes to keep his mind and body active. In a short time at his foster home, he’s learned his name and how to “sit” on command and started working on “stay” and “come.” He needed some confidence building and training has helped him feel more comfortable in new situations. 

Shilo's ideal forever home would be an active family without children. He tends to do better with women and bonded pretty fast with his foster mom. His foster mom believes he would enjoy agility after some confidence building. A fenced yard is a must. Shilo is an active boy that loves to run and play so having another energetic canine or two would be just what he needs! Shilo would be too much for an older dog.
