Home just in time for #nationalcatday so I can celebrate with my two utterly ridiculous kitties. To be honest, I never thought I’d have cats, I was always a dog person. But, then I fostered these two and they were my gateway to becoming the bonafide cat lady I am today!

National Pit Bull Awareness Day is pretty much eve

National Pit Bull Awareness Day is pretty much every day for me, but it’s officially celebrated today (or celebrated on 10/24 depending on the source!) Each of these dogs was once a resident of @chicagoanimalcare but is now living the good life. Thank you to all the staff, volunteers, fosters, and adopters who give this blocky-headed dorks a chance!! If you have any pit bull questions... drop them below 👇🏼

This is me transporting a very good dog from the shelter to a foster home today 🤗. Want to know the process of getting dogs out of the shelter? As an intake coordinator for @secondcityk9 I get to help choose dogs for our program. I go to @chicagoanimalcare with another volunteer (hayyy @girlwiththepitbulltattoo) and evaluate dogs. Usually, we take out around 20 dogs to walk, handle, and test with other dogs.

We pick a few that we love (it’s hard not to pick them all!) and then we get to work finding fosters. This is why fosters are SO important! Without them, we can’t take dogs out of the shelters.

After fosters are found, we arrange for transportation from CACC to the foster’s home. Our medical, supply, and volunteer coordinators work together to set the foster up for success. It takes a heck of a lot of teamwork and coordination, but it’s so worth it. Thank you @patlately for fostering this boy Pepe Le Pew and letting me obsess over him. He’s so happy to be your FIRST foster dog!

If you are interested in fostering, please let me know and I’ll connect you to a rescue that fits your needs!

Earlier this summer, I was at @chicagoanimalcare when this really sweet girl came in as a stray. Unfortunately, her owners never came for her so we made her an @secondcityk9 pup. She was very stinky so @jumpferjoy and I gave her a bath at CACC and then I took her home with me until she was able to go to her foster @misssassysam. I fell in love with her in a matter of 24 hours and she was by far the best house guest with her manners.

She was adopted a few weeks later by her foster’s sister and they’re absolutely obsessed with her. Marley is still the cutest, sweetest girl and she knows it. Congrats Marley on your forever!!

A long but wonderful story... Back in February, my

A long but wonderful story... Back in February, my husband and I went to a wedding in Hawaii. While there, I came across three cats living on the resort property including this orange and white boy. After speaking with hotel staff, I was told these cats are viewed as pests and handled by pest control.

Unfortunately, Hawaii is overpopulated with cats so the fate of these guys was not a good one. So, I went to work calling and networking with local cat TNR groups. Thankfully, @catopiahawaii was happy to help and immediately set to work trapping. We were able to grab the grey boy and baby kitten who then flew to Seattle with another guest of the resort who adopted them. We said we would foster the orange boy but he was harder to trap and eluded us while we were there.

After we left, volunteers were able to trap him and he went to a wonderful foster until he could fly to us here in Chicago. @thecatcade offered to bring him into their rescue so we were all set... and the COVID happened and airlines stopped flying pets. So, we waited.

Well, it’s no surprise that this boy was so happy and sweet in his foster home that they adopted him! This foster was only supposed to watch him for a few weeks, but is now became his home. Congrats Koa on your forever! I am so happy so know you are so loved and safe. Thank you to everyone who helped get this kitty off the streets and into a home ❤️

On the blog: Rescue isn’t just felines and canin

On the blog: Rescue isn’t just felines and canines, meet some equines. RJ was a racehorse who then sold to a family who used him as an Amish road horse. When he was no longer able to work because of his hooves on pavement, he was sold to a kill pen. Thankfully, @amazinggraceequinesanctuary stepped in and paid for him and now this sweet, sensitive boy is safe at their barn. RJ only has one eye but it hasn’t changed his outlook on finding his forever home ❤️

Last week I met this amazingly gentle sweet boy at @chicagoanimalcare. His name was Milo and he had one of the worst eye infections I’d ever seen. I sent his videos and pics to @dice.and.his.mama who immediately loved him and signed on to foster him with @secondcityk9. Milo is now Russell and it’s obvious that he’s adjusting well to the good life and his eyes already look so much better! Thank you Heather for fostering this hunk and sending me updates that make my day. He’ll be available for adoption in a week or so! Thank you @cacc_transferteam for pointing him out and thanks @girlwiththepitbulltattoo for being my pulling partner in crime so we can save all the smushy pitties. If you want to foster and save a life, let me know!

I met Root Beer last summer when she was part of @aliverescue Introvert for Life program. She was pretty feral when Alive took her into their care and she was unsure of other dogs and people. Luckily, she found the best foster in @angelavitzthum where she could frolic in her very own yard as she learned to trust and love humans. It was such a perfect fit that Root Beer was officially adopted recently by her foster mama and it’s safe to say this feral lady is enjoying the plush lifestyle. Congrats Rootie!! ❤️
