Tootie's Story
Tootie is a “sock toy” aficionado and official sweetheart hoping to find her forever home with a patient family that can build their relationship together at her pace. Described by her foster as an amazing girl, Tootie enjoys just being next to her peeps while they work, sleeping on her doggy bed calmly throughout the night, having belly rubs, and playing catch. Tootie has an endearing personality and will let you know when she’s super relaxed, as she will roll over onto her back and present her “polka-dot tummy” for all to see!
Tootie is a little nervous with new people, and would do best taking things slowly to help her feel comfortable with new situations and people. Once she’s relaxed, she’ll soon reward you with all her love and affection! Tootie’s a clever pup who loves enrichment activities, such as nose work and learning tricks!
Are you Tootie’s new family? If you’ve had some experience with dogs, and are happy to take introductions at Tootie’s pace, it won’t be long before you’ll be rewarded with the honour of giving her the belly rubs she loves and all the affection this sweet gal has to possess!

3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.
Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Why Adopt?
Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.
At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 5,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!
First Time Fostering? Learn More
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
