1-2 year-old Male Orange Domestic Short Hair Dogs?: Unsure but can test! Cats?: Yes, but FeLV+ I have the true characteristics of a young cat - I’m a playful, affectionate, and love to be the center of attention. My typical day consists of playing with the other cats or lounging around. I may come off as a little shy, but once I know you I’ll be sure to give you cuddles! Feline Leukemia virus notice: Although I tested positive, this does not mean a death sentence! I can actually live a long, happy life with the right accommodations, such as high nutrition food. I can be an only cat or live in a home with other cats with FeLV. Application Form: https://famousfidorescue.org/machform/view.php?id=13808 show less

Hi! I am one of four of a beautiful family that would love to be adopted together! We have been together for a very long time and we are very attached to each other. We are looking for a guardian who would love all 4 of us! My family is Chloe, Boston and St George. I'm shy and quiet but very affectionate. I mostly like to observe the scene and get to know the humans around me.We came from another shelter so we're all ready for a forever home. We would thrive with a guardian who can love all of us together! We know we're a handful but we are so worth it. Unconditional love. 4 ways! When cats like me wind up in rescues or shelters, we spend a lot of time...just waiting. And waiting. Unfortunately, that is the BEST case scenario if we are not adopted. What most often happens to us is we have no time, but are disposed of to make room for other, normal, cats. I am one of the lucky ones: I was brought to Famous Fido, but still, I am waiting and waiting. You can help me with your monthly pledge or one-time donation. Don't forget to sponsor me! Biography & Behavior I am friendly with humans and like to be petted Advocate Please don't forget to advocate for me! Your visits would be so wonderful, and I would love care packages!! Please show my picture to your friends! Put me on your Facebook page! Talk me up to your animal-loving co-workers, and tell them about Famous Fido. Think of ways to advertise me among people who would make good human companions for me! But please! Never, never, never, never offer me on Craigslist. show less

**Buddy** Adult Male Pit Bull Approx: 65 lbs Dogs 🐕: with meet and greet Cats 🐈: Unknown but prefer, no. Kids 👶: Older kids possible. Buddy is a very sweet, smooshy faced, loving, power breed looking for a large breed dog-loving guardian! He's a ham and while sweet as they come, he is a strong guy who will need a confident and experienced handler. Buddy was sadly abandoned in the vestibule of Famous Fido, an experience that was quite traumatizing for him, and left him crying actual tears and full of anxiety. We are still getting to know Buddy, who was a bit fearful upon arrival (understandably) but is opening up and becoming a true Staff favorite! Buddy would do best in a quiet environment because he likes to just relax. Buddy snuggles up his big soft snuggly body into his kennel blanket and makes a sweet nest with it. He 'tucks himself' in when it's time to stare at his eyelids and catch up on some ZZzzz's. This sweet man is referred to as 'Beefy Baby' by Staff members and wants nothing more than to be touched. He gives the sweetest kisses and takes treats OH SO GENTLY! Buddy wants to curl up on the couch next to YOU! And so long as he is touching, he's the happiest camper in town. Chicago, IL show less

**ADOPTERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE TO CHICAGO, POSSIBLY MORE THAN ONCE-- if you live too far, please do not inquiry as animals will not be shipped** His Story For Cagney, he lost his entire world very suddenly when one of his guardian’s passed away, and the other moved into an assisted living facility. Sadly, his other family members did not want to keep him either, and when they brought him here, they took back his collar and leash as a memento. He’s been howling with despair without the bed of his loved ones to climb into at night, and really is desperate to find another home to give him that kind of special attention. He settles down with the company of other people, and doesn’t mind the company of other dogs of a similar size either. Cagney’s ideal home should have someone who can be home the majority of the day, to help ease his anxieties. He is a very sweet dog but can startle easily, and would do best in an adult only home, so he can relax and enjoy the rest of his golden years. show less

7-8 year-old Male Tan & White Chihuahua Mix Weight: Approx. 15 lbs. Dogs?: Small dogs, but prefers independence Cats?: Unsure but can test! Kids?: Older kids possibly in a quiet/calm home Charlie here! I’m a sweet, but feisty little alpha male. I am extremely playful and love fetch – even with a huge tennis ball almost as big as my head! I can even dance on my hind legs for a treat. Although I am crate-trained and know lots of basic commands, I’m still working on some behaviors and can’t wait to meet someone who will give me a chance. Since I can be fearful of new people and other dogs at first, please be aware I might nip if I get too nervous. As long as you don’t put your hands in my face though, I can warm up to you in no time! show less

He has been very confused and upset since losing his person, but still has spurts of playful moments with us. It will take time for him to open up fully and trust another human, so he will need someone who is patient and willing to do what it takes to allow him to settle in and feel at ease. Once adjusted, we believe that he will be a wonderful companion and cuddle bug. Because he is very easily startled, we do not recommend him for a home with larger dogs, cats, or small children. show less

Daisy is a sweet and beautiful five-year-old, 86-pound, female, fawn mastiff looking for a dog-loving guardian. Daisy looks like she's been bred in the past, but she is now spayed. She appears to be healthy and is now up-to-date on vaccines. She loves women and can accept men in time. At first they make her nervous. She doesn't respond to commands, but she takes treats gently and appreciatively from your fingers. show less

6 yr-old Male Tabby, Domestic Short Hair Dogs ?: Unsure but can test! Cats ?: Yes, but FeLV+ Hi, I’m Hank - I get along with other cats after the usual meet and greet. According to the people that currently take care of me, I probably did not have much interaction with people when I was younger, as I am fairly timid, and not all people are nice to cats when they encounter them outside. I need an experienced cat lover who can help me learn to trust people again. I know that I am safe here, but I would love the chance to bond with a special person so that I can learn to come out of my shell! Feline Leukemia virus notice: Although I tested positive, this does not mean a death sentence! I can actually live a long, happy life with the right accommodations, such as high nutrition food.

It’s been no doubt an incredibly upsetting experience for Jack Frost, as he had spent so long with his family, but when they welcomed another dog into the mix, Jack Frost and him did not get along, and so, he was surrendered to Famous Fido Rescue. He still has a lot of energy, and loves to play and jump around, but he does need a little guidance and would benefit greatly from some training. We’d love to find him a home where he could be spoiled in by calm family as an only dog. He does react out of fear at times, so we would not recommend him for a home with young children. But, he has a very sweet nature that will work with a patient guardian that wants to see him through for life. show less
