Every single dog kennel at @chicagoanimalcare is f

Every single dog kennel at @chicagoanimalcare is full. That means some tough decisions will have to be made unless we can get dogs out of the shelter quickly. Dogs like Nevada come in every day to CACC because CACC is open-access or what some people call “kill shelter.” The problem with calling it a kill shelter is that it completely demoralizing those working hard day in and day out to save lives there. In truth, CACC is an open access shelter. It takes in every single animal that comes through its doors in need of help regardless of breed, behavior, or health. Euthanizing animals for space isn’t a shelter problem, it’s a community problem. So, if you can foster/adopt, please let me know or head to @rescuechicago and fill out our foster survey. Consider donating if you are able. Share this post and encourage others to do the same. Help us help dogs like Nevada get their chance at forever ❤️

Sunday scaries but make it cute. Yesterday I went

Sunday scaries but make it cute. Yesterday I went to walk dogs at @chicagoanimalcare and came home with kittens. With shelter populations up across the country, I just couldn’t leave these faces behind with an open home. They’re going to head off to a new foster home tomorrow but they’ve been an absolute pleasure and I love them already. Thanks @thecatcade for letting me snag these three and taking them into your program. Sure, one has a gross paw, one is hissy, and the other is a teeny monster, but they’re perfect. Can’t wait to see them all glowed up at The Cade soon!

I haven’t done a photoshoot in a while for plent

I haven’t done a photoshoot in a while for plenty of reasons (new job, old mental health struggles, scheduling, etc.) but I’ve got a few in the works and I’m so excited!! In the meantime, it’s been a while since I introduced myself, so, hey 👋🏼 I’m Christine. I started Rescue in Style more than 4 years ago to spotlight the animals in rescue. I incorporated fashion because I wanted to reach a new audience that might not be aware of all the animals in need of a home. From caring for injured bugs, to volunteering at @heartland_animal_shelter in high school and my failed attempt at veterinary medicine, animals have always been a central part of my life. Creating this community has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling I’ve done so far in my 33 years. I can’t wait to get back in front of the camera and introduce you to more animals looking for their forever homes. Until then, enjoy this photo that I never shared before of Samosa from @chicagopitbulls. Thanks for being here and all the love and support!! 📸: @margaretrajic

My favorite kind of posts: I met Liaden a few weeks ago at @chicagoanimalcare and fell in love. Thankfully so did @woofgangrescue and now she is out of the shelter and on to the good life! Congrats Liaden!!

True story: When I was 10, my parents bought me a

True story: When I was 10, my parents bought me a guinea pig and I named her peanut. Later, we got another guinea pig from family friends and we named her Buttercup. A few weeks later, Buttercup became fat and then one morning I woke up and there were now six guinea pigs in the cage. Turns out, Peanut was a dude. So, we raised the babies and then gave them to friends and then I took Peanut to the vet and he got neutered. I’m not kidding, I neutered my male guinea pig so him and Buttercup could live together in peace without making more babies. To this day, I still love guinea pigs and when I see them in a shelter, I always want them. Photo: @margaretrajic

Yep. Small animals need rescue too! On the blog: how to find and adopt a small animal when you want to add another creature to your home.

Swipe for kitten attack. Sure my bracelets say Ado

Swipe for kitten attack. Sure my bracelets say Adopt Cheese, but they’re two totally separate thoughts so no, you can’t have Cheese. But, you can get a bracelet from @frannabella_beads with your pets’ name on it or anything your heart desires. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to @rescuechicago which supports animals of @chicagoanimalcare. Just like little Bloomsdale here, a CACC alum who is now at @thecatcade and available for snuggles and adoption thanks to @wearekittensmitten fostering him from just days old!

Dan needs a foster home! This stunning Galgo (Spanish Greyhound) boy has had some bad luck finding his forever people. Dan was dropped off at @fundacionbenjaminmehnert as a puppy along with his 8 siblings. All went on to their forever homes but Dan wasn’t as lucky. Adopted and then returned, this boy couldn’t find his people in Spain so @adoptagalgo brought him to Chicago as we have many more adopters here. He has been waiting patiently, but needs a home where he can be comfortable and truly relax.

His ideal home would have no dogs or an easy-going tolerant dog. Dan would do best in a home with older children or no children. If you’d like to foster this sweet boy, please reach out to @adoptagalgo!

Walking dogs at @chicagoanimalcare is my happy place. Each time I go, I fall in love with someone new. So, meet my newest love… Glory. This 5 year-old came into CACC as a stray and is just the sweetest thing. She walks flawlessly on leash, takes treats gently, and just wants to cover you in kisses. Glory is available for foster or adoption and yes, you need her.
