Our favorite little cow is looking for a foster (or forever) home!

Papi likes: Snuggles, dog friends (that can handle his rough & tumble play style) & quiet neighborhoods for short walks. Routine!

Papi doesnt like: Loud bustling streets, with too much city noise.

Bonuses: Housetrained, Crate trained, and really freaking cute! He has spots, he smiles, and he snuggles so hard.

Please share and help us spread the word on Papi 💙 Read his full foster info card here and email us at [email protected] if you can help!

Midnight is a super soft and sweet senior gal that has been waiting for her home for too long! Midnight was originally adopted from us in 2019 after about a month in foster. She did wonderfully in her adopted home, but in a sad turn of events both Midnight's human mom and fur sibling she shared her home with tragically passed away in April 2024. When their family reached out with no other options for her, we took her back in immediately.

Midnight was understandably very shut down and scared at the beginning, but over time she has gained the trust of new people. She is now thriving and is looking for her new loving home. Her fosters report that she does great with their cat and has done well kids as young as six with proper intros (and treats!) Midnight is housebroken, great with free roam, and has good manners in general.

Midnight is in good health and about nine years old. Her adoption fee has been generously sponsored, so she's just waiting for YOU

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our adoption event yesterday - we met a lot of new faces and talked to many people about adopting, fostering, and volunteering! Big thanks to Rockwell On The River and Chicago Boat Company for asking us to be part of this fun day :)

The dogs were so well behaved and Periwinkle found a great match who received a FREE adoption with our prize wheel (meant to be, right?!)

We are counting down the days until Tiny Dog 500, Presented by Peanut! We recently visited Midwest Coast Brewing to checkout the space and make plans for one VERY FUN event!

We are excited to say we've added on more fun and silly things for the event. In addition to little dogs racing, we will also have a vegan hot dog eating competition thanks to Upton's Naturals! From 2:30-2:45pm, join our Judge, World-Record-holding competitive eater Patrick "Deep Dish" Berkoletti, to see who can chow down on 5 vegan hot dogs with buns the fastest!

We will also have great raffle prizes, a tie-die station, lots of brand new merch items, fun betting games, and MORE!

Midwest Coast has a gorgeous space and will be giving $1 back from their ice cold beers during the event.

Turkey does not do Mondays. And you know what? Who can blame him.

This fosterable (and adoptable) dude is hoping to catch your eye as he's looking for a new spot to crash! He's one heck of a mischevious cat (read: he's naughty and we like it)! After a couple of different foster homes and some time boarding at our Ellis Clinic - we have a better understanding of the home he needs.

One with at least two adults as he likes attention and he can be kinda extra at times. He also needs a room or space that he can be in when he needs a break. He's like a toddler that sometimes has to get put down for a nap...Turkey needs occasional time-outs and with them, he is more well-behaved.

This kiddo doesn't want to go back to boarding, please help us find foster for Turkey!
