Meet This dog 🐾

To bring This dog home, ask staff or volunteers at Chicago Animal Care and Control about the adoption process and any remaining medical procedures that may still need to be completed before they is ready to leave the shelter. Some dogs are available sooner while others still require surgery followed by recovery time.

Meet and greet visits may happen in one of the outdoor interaction yards or inside quieter rooms depending on conditions that day. Some visitors spend the interaction walking with them while others focus more on spending quiet time together outside the kennel environment.

Spending time together in person often provides a much clearer understanding of how they behaves once things become calmer and less crowded. Watching them explore the interaction area may help visitors imagine what life together at home could eventually look like.

Volunteers can also explain fostering through rescue organizations for visitors interested in helping them leave the shelter sooner while continuing to learn more about them in a home environment.
