Famous Fido Rescue Program -Rehoming Chief

Meet Chief, A very handsome and healthy 72 LB male German Shepherd who's former guardian recently passed away. After Chief lost his mom, a relative traveled to pick Chief up, so he didn't end up in a shelter.

Chief is currently residing in Rosemont, IL. His new guardian, unfortunately, works very long hours, and is also going though some financial hardships. He is looking for a new home for Chief where he will get the love, companionship, exercise, and security he so desperately deserves.

Chief is reported to be around 3years old, however, he has both the energy and the teeth of a younger dog. Chief has a great disposition and enjoys human companionship. He gets along with other canine companions with proper introduction. Chief is crate trained. He enjoys long walks, and takes frequent pack walks with the neighbor dog. Chief is UTD on vaccinations and is microchipped and neutered.

If you are interested in adopting Chief through Famous Fido Rescue's Rehoming Program, please fill out an application on our website www.famousfidorescue.org.

Chicago, IL – Adopt Coal the Blue and White Pit Bull Terrier

Coal is a happy, sweet, and playful, two-year-old, 50-pound, male blue and white Pit Bull Terrier looking for a loving guardian.

Coal came into Chicago Animal Care and Control the day after Christmas 2024. Found stray on the far south side of Chicago, this super nice boy loves people and is tail-waggingly friendly both with dogs as well as cats. He is currently living in a foster home with a dachshund and two cats and doing great! He sleeps on the floor in the bedroom and his foster mom no longer crates him.

Coal loves treats and will sit automatically for them. And, then he may jump in your lap.

He’s great in the home, housebroken, loves squeaky toys, nice on car rides (especially the one that drove him from the shelter to his foster home), and even good on leashed walks.

Coal is now healthy, neutered, up-to-date on rabies, distemper and Bordetella vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. His adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits Rescue.

If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Coal, please fill in an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up by contacting [email protected] to make an appointment to meet him.

He is currently being fostered in Elmwood Park, a suburb just west of Chicago, Illinois.

We are baffled. Truly. We cannot understand why no one has applied to adopt Hunter.

This boy is the total package - he’s smart, gentle, loving, friendly with every person he meets, has excellent manners, and gets along great with other dogs. He’s the kind of companion that would never let you down. So why is he being overlooked? Why is he still waiting?

It makes zero sense.

Hunter has been nothing but patient. Nothing but hopeful. And it’s breaking our hearts to see him passed by again and again. He deserves a family who will treasure him, love him endlessly, and never let him go. Could that be you? Could this be the weekend his luck finally changes?

Maybe the Luck of the Irish is on his side! 🍀 Help us get Hunter seen by commenting a 🍀 shamrock emoji below and sharing his post far and wide. Let’s make some magic happen for this sweet boy!

And if you're ready to open your heart and home to the most loyal companion, apply to adopt Hunter today: https://famousfidorescue.org/dog-adoption-application. Let’s get him home. Let’s make this his lucky weekend. Please share!

If you aren't able to adopt, but want to help, please consider donating. Funds help provide food, housing, and medical care for Hunter and all the rescue animals like him: https://famousfidorescue.org/donate
