Foster or adopter needed for Goose! 🐾🖤

Goose is a 7-year-old Doberman who found himself in need after his owner had a stroke and no family could take him in.

Despite everything, he’s stayed gentle, sweet, and full of love. He’s easygoing, loves carrying his favorite stuffed toy around, and just wants a soft place to land.

Goose is ready for a fresh start—and all he needs is a foster home to help him get there.

Let’s show this good boy what it feels like to be part of a family again.

📍 Currently in Chicago area
🛏 Foster needed ASAP
💖 Calm, loving, and ready to be your shadow

How adorable is Judy!?!?!?

Judy is an 8-month-old Doberman with a big heart, a curious mind, and an endless love for attention. She weighs about 55 pounds and is full of playful puppy energy. Judy is currently in foster care and learning all sorts of new things—including gardening (though she has been known to sneak a leaf or two when no one’s watching). Her absolute favorite thing in the world is playing with balls. If you’re in the kitchen and not paying attention to her, she’ll gently drop a ball at your feet to let you know it’s time for a game.

Judy is incredibly sweet, a little goofy, and definitely not camera shy. She’s very smart and is picking up on basic commands like “sit,” “drop it,” and “pick it up.” Her foster is working on “stay” and recall since her previous owner said she’s a bit of a runner. She walks fairly well on a leash, although she can get scared and jumpy in new environments. A fenced yard isn’t required as long as she’s walked on a leash (no e-collars, please).

Socialization is still a work in progress for Judy. She can be very anxious around other dogs and new people, so slow and patient introductions are essential. She has done well with her foster’s older female Doberman but is skittish around smaller dogs. Judy hasn’t been tested with children, and while she hasn’t lived with cats in her current foster home, a previous caretaker said she was scared of them. She’s a very expressive dog—vocal about her bones and toys, and she’ll bark or whine if another dog takes her toy or blocks her view of her favorite person. She even has a quirky habit of jumping on your back when she’s scared or wants your attention.

🖤 Lilith is a Black Beauty 🖤

Meet Lilith, a 4-year-old female German Shepherd. This stunning girl was found wandering stray before being picked up and brought to an area shelter. Her fate was uncertain, so we welcomed her into our group. Unfortunately, Lilith is heartworm positive so will need heartworm treatment. We are looking for an adopter or foster to see her through her treatment.

We can't believe Karma's glow up - fostering truly saves lives!!

Karma is a breathtaking, appx 3 year old fawn Doberman whose beauty turns heads, but it’s her gentle spirit that truly captures hearts. Found as a stray, it’s hard to believe no one came searching for this lovely girl—but their loss is someone else’s incredible gain.

With her soulful eyes and quiet grace, Karma has a sweetness that shines through in every tail wag and soft nuzzle. Though she’s still filling out and getting back into her best shape, it’s easy to see she’s destined to be a showstopper—inside and out.

Karma does wonderfully with both male and female dogs, especially when introductions are respectful and slow. She’s also a big fan of humans and seems particularly drawn to her foster dad. Her one-track mind is all about food, but with a little structure and slow feeding methods, she’s thriving.

This smart girl may not know her name yet, but she’s sharp, eager to please, and easily motivated – she’s already picking things up quickly. Her kennel is a safe space, and she’s happy to go in when it’s her choice. She rides great in the car, though she gets a little anxious when it’s time to get out – she just doesn’t want to be left behind again.

Karma is learning that life inside a loving home is full of good things – though she’s still figuring out that countertops aren’t one of them! With a bit of guidance and consistency, she’ll continue to blossom.

Karma is more than just a pretty face – she’s a reminder of resilience, love, and the beauty of second chances. She’s ready for her next chapter, and whoever gets to write it with her will be the lucky one.

Looking for someone fun to bounce jokes off of? Nacho is your guy! He always has one ear up for puns :)

Meet Nacho! This 9-month-old blue Doberman puppy is all kinds of adorable—from his silly ears to his lanky legs that haven’t quite caught up with the rest of him yet. He currently weighs about 51 pounds but still has some growing and filling out to do.

Nacho is your classic Doberman puppy: full of energy, curiosity, and a whole lot of goofiness. He’s sweet, affectionate, and loves to be near his people. His expressive ears and goofy puppy antics make him impossible not to fall for.

He’s still learning the ropes of the world and will thrive with continued training, structure, and lots of love. Nacho is looking for a home that understands the needs of a young Doberman and is ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s destined to be.

If you’re ready for the fun, energy, and snuggles that come with a growing pup, Nacho might just be your guy!

Have you met Queso yet!?

Queso is a 9-month-old terrier mix with the soul of an old man in a puppy’s body. He’s figuring out how to play and interact with others, and he’s making progress every day. He’s currently in a foster home with multiple dogs. He does very well with the more laid-back female dogs and a larger male companion. Queso would likely thrive in a home with a confident, well-mannered dog to help show him the ropes.

Queso is very much a shadow dog—he loves to be near his person and follows them everywhere. He’s doing well with housetraining and has had very few accidents. He’s generally quiet, but when he does bark, it’s surprisingly deep and booming for his size!

At night, Queso will fuss a bit about being crated but settles quickly. During the day, he’s done well uncrated and hasn’t shown any destructive behavior. He lives peacefully with cats—though he’s been known to sneak their food when he gets the chance!

Queso walks nicely on leash, with a calm and easygoing pace. While he’s still discovering the world, he has a gentle, low-key personality that will blossom with the right home.

Wishing you a safe and fun Fourth of July!

Please remember that fireworks can have negative impacts on dogs and wildlife. We recommend keeping your furry friends at home in a quiet space if you're going to enjoy fireworks!

04/07/2025

Archer (center with the natural ears) is all tucked in for the Fourth of July! This sweet, playful & goofy guy is still looking for a home of his own!

Archer is full of energy and always up for a good time—whether it’s playing hide and seek, a game of tug, or zooming around on his walks. He absolutely loves human companionship and enjoys snuggling just as much as he enjoys playtime. He is content to sleep in the home office while his foster mom works, but pops up ready to go do something fun the second she leaves her chair.

Archer is a smart boy who knows how to sit and wait for a command before eating his food. He’s still working on walking nicely on a leash, but with consistency and patience, he’s sure to improve. He gets along well with other dogs and looks forward to attending doggy daycare, where he can socialize and make new friends. However, he can sometimes get overpowered by more dominant dogs, so he would thrive with laid-back companions or as an only dog.

Unlike a lot of young dogs that come through rescues, Archer is pretty much move-in ready! He is fully potty trained and has not been destructive at all in his foster home. He loves a good antler or nylabone to chew on, and while he is mischievous enough to steal shoes and other human items his intent seems to be to proudly show off his thieving skills rather than to consume them. Like many Dobermans, Archer has his quirks—he’s not a fan of rain or cold temperatures and has to be coaxed outside when the weather is bad. He prefers to skip nail trims whenever possible, and every once in a while he can get sneaky about counter-surfing.

Archer deserves a loving, patient home that will provide him with the structure, attention, and companionship he craves. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful pup who will be your best friend, Archer could be the perfect match for you!

Cami, where are your people!?

Meet Cami, a sweet and tiny 7 lb, 4-year old black Chihuahua.

Cami has been in her foster home and has learned the routine of the day in just a couple of weeks. She is 99% housebroken, does not need to be crated. She is living with 3 other small dogs and a cat which she doesn’t mind. Sometimes she thinks of letting her foster dog friends know she is the boss and is quickly corrected and she responds.

Cami sleeps most of the day in her bed buried under her blankie. She knows when it’s dinner time and outside for potty and most importantly time for treats.

She loves a quiet home with minimal foot traffic, no children and no chaos. Cami will need a slow introduction to new people but once you’re in you’re in. Cami follows her foster mom around and when she does want your attention she will talk to you. At the end of the day you will find her sitting in her foster mom’s lap watching TV. She does sleep with her foster mom buried under blankets.
Cami does have a grade 3 heart murmur which will need to be monitored at her regular vet visits.
She is such a devoted little girl, loves going for walks and enjoys the sunshine in her backyard.
Cami just needs a little time, love and understanding to show off her true loving colors. Would you be the quiet, patient home she needs?

Looking for a dog with the looks of a supermodel and the soul of a stand-up comedian? Meet Darcy—a sleek, athletic, and slightly dramatic (in the best way) young lady who’s here to steal your heart and your socks.

At just under a year old, Darcy is basically a teenager: high energy, socially savvy with other dogs (she’s the cool kid at the dog park), and still figuring out this whole “humans are weird but nice” thing. She’s great with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and astrological signs. Cats? Well, TBD. But canine friends? 100% her jam.

New people and places can give her a bit of the “hmm, I don’t know about this” face—but give her a minute (and maybe a treat), and she’ll be nuzzling your elbow like you’ve been besties since birth.

She’s crate trained and housebroken, but her foster still crates her when leaving the house—not because she’s bad, but because she has ambitions… like seeing if remotes taste like bacon. (Spoiler: they don’t.)

Darcy would thrive in a home with another playful pup, a patient human or two, and someone who gets that bravery is a journey (and sometimes that journey requires belly rubs).

Apply to adopt Darcy here:
https://applications.ildoberescue.com/plus/start

If you're a previous adopter (applied within 5 years and still at same address) please email us at [email protected] to learn more about Darcy!

Adopt Darcy—because every superhero needs a sidekick, and this one comes preloaded with zoomies and love.

Luna is a very good girl and has been waiting quite some time for her forever home!

Meet Luna, a beautiful 2-year-old black and tan Doberman who weighs 60 lbs and is ready to find her forever home. Luna was surrendered to IDR+ after her family had a baby, and unfortunately, she struggled to adjust, eventually being moved to the garage.

Luna is a sweet princess at heart, and she absolutely loves to snuggle, especially enjoying belly rubs. She has good house manners, doesn’t bother anything, and crates nicely if needed. Though Luna has a gentle, affectionate nature, she can be dog selective. She gets along with smaller dogs and completely ignores the cat in the household, but she doesn’t get along with other dogs. She may be best as an only princess in her forever home.

Luna is housetrained and would benefit from some fine-tuning with her leash manners. She would love a home with a securely fenced yard, preferably a privacy fence for added comfort.

Apply to adopt Luna here: https://www.ildoberescue.com/adopt/applications/doberman-application/

If you're a previous adopter (applied within 5 years and still at same address) please email us at [email protected] to learn more about Luna!
