My life has changed a lot since my days as a stray on the streets of Puerto Rico. I was shy and cautious when I first arrived in Chicago, but with the TLC I have received at my foster home, I have blossomed. At forty-two pounds, my foster mom describes me as “sweetness in a tiny body.”
I get anxious when I am locked in a crate, but I am comfortable being gated in a safe area. I have two canine foster brothers and am always willing to share their toys with them! I’m not sure what a c-a-t is, so I don’t know if I would like sharing my house with one. My favorite game is playing tug of war with my squeaky alligator and I love going on car rides especially when the windows are open and my ears are blowing in the wind. My foster brothers and I go on four jaunts around the neighborhood each day. I am a very good leash walker and I never pull. I am friendly to all the people and dogs we see along the way and everyone we meet tells me what a sweetheart I am. My Foster Mom agrees!
Since I probably lived on the streets for most of my life and I am still a young dog, I have had a little difficulty with learning the proper place to go potty. However, I have improved a lot recently and given a little more time and encouragement, I will be perfect! I’m usually pretty quiet, but if a stranger comes to the door, I will bark several times to alert my family. Then I will give tail wagging greetings once Foster Mom assures me we are safe.
I love children and would be a great companion on walks, in the yard playing fetch and just settling in to watch a little television together. At bed time, I will race to get the best bed position for some ear scratches, cuddling and some end-of-the-day attention. Are you ready for a little night time competition for the optimum spot?
I need another dog and someone who is home a lot in my forever home.

Our new vendor is Aspen Lane Wine Company in Aurora. This company was started by a man who had a disabled child and wanted to help non-profit groups raise money for their cause. His son is now deceased, but he continues his efforts and we are honored to be a part of this program that distributes all profits to their participating partners.
The wine and candles will make unique gifts for the holidays. There will be a selection of wines in three bottle sizes, and the candles are 100% soy wax which makes them eco-friendly. The winery will ship or orders can be picked up at the winery.
Only TWELVE can be our TOP DOGS so vote for your favorite and support our rescue efforts.
Thank you to everyone that submitted photos! Your dogs are all winners!!
