AVAILABLE DOGS

Tisha

Carolina

Tisha

     This is Trisha! She's a 3 year old Saluki mix originally from Oman. She came to the US in 2021. Her owner passed away & she sadly found herself with no one to care for her. Trisha is a super happy girl & is still very active! She'll need a fenced yard with at least a 5 ft fence & also a playful dog in her home. Because she plays rough, she'll do best with dogs at least 30 lbs & we'll say that she's probably not cat friendly either. 

She's currently being fostered in IN, but can travel for the right family! 

Cairo

Carolina

Tisha

 Introducing Cairo, the spotty boy with the kissy spot on his head. Cairo is a 2 year old podenco found abandoned on the street, but was lucky to have found our friends at SOS Podenco Rescue. He is shy with unknown people, but playful once he knows you. He is very social with other dogs & loves to play with them. Ideally he would need another dog to keep him company & he would do best with no men in the house. It would also be best for him to have a fenced yard and live in a fairly quiet area & at the moment he's still petrified with the leash & will need work to get him used to it. Smallish size, around 45 cm to the shoulders. Cairo is looking for a family of his very own! Don't miss out on this stunning boy. He's currently being fostered in VA, but can travel for the right family. 

Carolina

Carolina

Carolina

** ADOPTION PENDING! **

 Sweet little Carolina was at Casa de Postas for over a year with no interest. She's shy with people initially, but great with other dogs & we believe also cat friendly, but she's still working on that step. She's settling in well with her foster family & is now ready to take the next step to find her forever family. She prefers dogs who won't get in her face & will probably be happiest at home with an occasional trip out. 

Send us a message if you'd like to give her a forever sofa! She's currently being fostered in IN, but can travel for the right family. 

Faisca

Beckham

Carolina

 This sweet little (chubby) guy is Faisca! He's from Portugal & has been in the US for about 2 years now. He was originally placed with a family with cats, but has decided that cats are not in fact his friends. BUT the great news is that he's great with other dogs of all sizes. He will need a fenced yard with at least a 5 ft fence to play & get some weight off. 

What Faisca lacks in cat friendliness he totally makes up for with his people skills! He's super snuggly & would even love to sleep with you on the bed, if that's what you like. 

He's currently being fostered in IN but available to travel for the right family. Get your application in now for this total hunk! 

Beckham

Beckham

Beckham

 We'd like to introduce you to BECKHAM! This sweetie is an approximately 7 year old Italian greyhound (he is a biggy iggy at 16 lbs), who just arrived to the US a few weeks ago. So far, Beckham seems very sweet, and he knows how to do tricks for treats, like shaking a paw, so he was a pet at some point in his life before being rescued in S. Korea by our friends at Team Inch Sighthound Rescue.
Beckham can be quite the stubborn boy & will need a family who understands the breed & won't let him get the upper hand.
If interested in adopting Beckham, fill out an application on our website! He's currently being fostered in MD but can travel for the right family! 

Ernie

Beckham

Beckham

 What word best describes Ernie? Snugglebug! He loves nothing better than snuggling up with his person to watch a good movie or read a book. 

Ernie is 8 yrs old & came to us from our friends at Team Inch Sighthound Rescue. 

They rescued him there from dreadful conditions at a puppy mill. 

As you can see, he has limited vision in his right eye but it doesn't affect him at all. The vet said it's likely an old injury that wasn't treated properly. 

Ernie was also successfully treated for heartworm disease. 

He's currently being fostered in NY but can travel for the right family. Fill out an application today if you're looking for a great snuggle buddy. Ernie is great with other dogs & even cats & kids! 

Colmillo

Colmillo

Colmillo

 

This stunning Podenco arrived to Chicago a couple weeks ago from SOS Podenco Rescue & is ready for any & all adventures! He's 1 year old (just a baby!) & would be fabulous on hikes or even doing dog sports! He absolutely loves to please his people. He's also cat workable. He'll need a fenced yard for exercise along with regular walks. If you're looking for a dog ready to hang out with you for every road trip & adventure, this boy is for you! He's also great with other dogs. 

He's currently being fostered in IL but can travel for the right family. 

Submit an application today to be considered for him!
