Bobbin Robin is a spunky, fun-loving Jack Russell mix in search of her forever home. This cutie pie arrived at PAWS after being found as a stray on the streets of Chicago. Robin spent a few days at Animal Control, but luckily she was transferred to PAWS where she has found a second chance at life. This tenacious terrier recently spent a few weeks in a foster home, and made a fantastic addition to the family! Robin is good with most other dogs, and is house-trained and crate-trained. Robin loves to snuggle on the sofa and is great at amusing herself with toys. She also knows all her commands and is a wonderful walking buddy.
She's petite and playful, likes to curl up at your feet for a nap, and always prefers to be near her humans. Bobbin Robin is currently at the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center and ready to meet you today! If you are interested in Bobbin Robin, E-mail adoptions@pawschicago.org, or call (773) 935-7297 to arrange a meeting! Pippen Fasseas Adoption Center, 1997 N. Clybourn Ave., Chicago, IL 60614.

Young At Heart Pet Rescue was formed in 2005 to aid in the rescue and rehoming of older dogs and cats in the Chicagoland area. 100% of the animals we rescue come from municipal pounds with high euthanasia rates for older animals. Our mission is to find a new home for every adoptable older animal that comes through our door, to educate the public on the benefits of adopting older pets, and to decrease the euthanasia rate for older, adoptable dogs and cats in Illinois. Each dog or cat that we rescue receives the best veterinary care, and we do not turn away animals that need a little extra medical attention. All of our pets are vaccinated, tested for infectious diseases, are microchipped, spay/neutered, and the majority receive a geriatric screening and a dental. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with an all-volunteer staff, so all donations go directly to the care of our animals. It also means that we rely on the generosity of pet-lovers to support our mission and our rescued animals.

Wisconsin Adopt A Golden Retriever (Southeast Wisconsin) We routinely take in senior Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes. We are able to find forever homes for the majority of the seniors that we take in. If we can't find them a suitable home, we foster them until the end. A 501(c)(3) organization. One of the highlights of our site is our tribute to the seniors. We just love them!
Starr - #656 Starr is a beautiful 9-year-old female Golden who has been with WAAGR for a while so we could clear up a yeast infection. She also had surgery for entropian eye. She still has little outbreaks of itchiness from her allergies. Other than that, she is a sweetheart. Starr loves to snuggle, is very well behaved in the house, loves car rides and walks. She will always need to have a specific diet, no dairy, wheat or chicken. She is also a runner, so her forever home will need a fenced yard. She is not a counter surfer, does not beg at the table, is not much of a barker, and walks well on leash. She does not need much grooming as her coat is shorter that most Goldens. Her hair has all grown back in and her eyes are healed up now. She is just a wonderful loving dog! If you would like to find out more about this great senior golden, contact WAAGR today!
Kobie - #851 Kobie is a big, 9-year-old teddy bear looking for his forever home! He is a very laid back guy and and his foster dad said he doesn't act or look like a 9-year-old at all! He is very energetic and goes on long walks with his foster dad. He is very friendly and just wants to be petted all the time. He is just a very nice, well-behaved pet. Kobie was raised with young children and gets along well with kids. He was surrendered to WAAGR because the wife was in a bad car accident and the father was overwhelmed taking care of her, the three kids and the dogs. Kobie looks like a Golden but he has a little Newfoundland in him, having big paws and a big head! Kobie is neutered and updated on his shots. To find out more about this loveable guy, contact WAAGR.
