Dear Friends of Petraits,
When I visited Chicago Animal Care and Control at 2741 S. Western Avenue in Chicago there were a number of wonderful dogs and puppies waiting for loving homes (Petraits attached).
Bear is an adorable, sweet and fun fuzzball of a 14-week-old shepherd/chow-mix puppy who is looking for a patient dog-lover with time and energy to devote to house-breaking and training a dog. He will probably be about 55 pounds as an adult.
Flower is a 50-pound, seven-year-old shepherd-mix who was found as a stray. She was obviously living with a family as he is trained in the commands sit and down … I’d guess she’s probably housetrained too.
Lottie is a shy and gentle, two-year-old, 55-pound black and white shepherd-mix who knows how to sit on command and takes treats gently from your fingers. Lottie’s ear tips appear to have had frost bite and fly bites from being left out in someone’s yard too often.
Midnight is a one-year-old 55-pound black Labrador retriever/basenji-mix with a curlie-q tail. He was relinquished to the shelter by his human. Midnight knows the commands sit and down.
Peaches is a well-mannered, active 65-pound, seven-year-old, female pit-mix who knows the commands sit and down and takes treats gently. She also walks well on leash and appears to be housebroken.
Rio is a four-year-old, 50-pound, plush-coated male cattle dog-mix. Rio knows how to sit on command and would do best as the only dog in the home.
Scout is an energetic, seven-month-old male, red Shepherd-mix with satellite dish ears. She loves to play ball and already knows the command to sit.
Spot is a eight-month-old, 25-pound, male energetic, tri-color rat terrier-mix puppy. He sits automatically when asked and takes treats very gently.
To meet and possibly adopt any of these great dogs, please visit Chicago Animal Care & Control in person at 2741 S. Western Avenue in Chicago. The shelter is open for adoptions Wednesday through Friday from 4pm to 7pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3, and 4 to 7. The dogs’ adoption fee is $65, which includes their spay/neuter surgery, rabies, distemper and bordatella vaccines, heartworm-testing, city license, de-worming and microchip.
If you’d like to volunteer to walk dogs, or socialize cats, or foster pets for CACC, please contact Kathy at kbwilson60612@yahoo.com
The next volunteer orientation will take place on Saturday, October 24 from 11:00AM - 2:00PM.
