My name is Orson and I am a good boy. I am 2 years old and I am a black American Pit Bull Terrier mix and I was found near 6100 Block S Marshfield Ave in Chicago's West Englewood neighborhood. I have been waiting for someone to save me at Chicago Animal Care and Control since July 30. I am homeless and I really need to find my forever home soon. ⏳ Please come and visit me at the shelter. 🙏

Are You Thinking About Adopting Orson?
Helping Orson leave the shelter could begin with stopping by CACC and asking whether he is available for interaction that day.
Some visitors spend the interaction walking with him while others simply sit nearby and allow the dog to settle naturally into direct attention. Some dogs stay highly engaged with people throughout the visit while others spend more time exploring the environment around them.
Volunteers can answer questions about adoption procedures, foster placement support, surgery recovery expectations, and what the pickup process may look like once Orson is medically cleared to leave the shelter.
People with existing dogs at home may also want to ask staff about current recommendations for introductions, transition pacing, and allowing time for adjustment after adoption.
