Our mission is to turn the underdog into your favorite dog! Saving dogs since 2001.
About us
Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation exists to give homeless animals a second chance at a forever family. We always root for the underdog! CCR was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in Chicago. To date, we have proudly saved the lives of over 6,000 dogs, cats, kittens (yes, we have started helping a few felines each year, too!) and puppies. The dogs in our care come to us from open-intake facilities, from a handful of rural partners who lack the resources for adoptions, and from families who for a variety of reasons, can no longer care for them. Our team provides specialized medical treatment, emotional and behavioral support, and adoption services to each animal that comes into our care. CCR assists the animals that are the MOST vulnerable in our city – the dogs and cats that are searching for a home because they are too old, too young, too injured, have disabilities or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters. While special needs dogs have a huge place in our hearts and our program, many of the dogs CCR assists are healthy, family dogs who lost their homes purely due to unforeseen circumstances. We provide a safe landing place for dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds, and work hard to match them with their perfect family.

Happy Dogust 1st! 🎉🐾 Today, we celebrate the universal birthday for shelter dogs! Approximately 3 million dogs enter shelters each year, and we don't always know their birthdate when we adopt. However, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate them! Let's celebrate our beloved shelter dogs by showering them with extra love, treats, and everything in between. If you're considering adding a dog to your family, consider adopting from your local shelter. Every pup deserves a loving home. 🐶❤️ #Dogust #AdoptDontShop #ShelterDogs #DogLovers

This past weekend I volunteered with the Chicago Canine Rescue at Taste of River North, an incredibly rewarding experience. It was heartwarming to see firsthand this organization's impact, rescuing thousands of animals each year and finding them loving homes. We even had some previously adopted dogs pay us a visit! #AdoptDontShop🐾
