Dogs in North Chicago Animal Care and Control needing help from rescues

Laney is the smaller of the two and she also loves to hang out with other dogs. These two don’t need to go together, but they do need rescue shortly. Contact: dandeu@northchicago.org (at northchicago.org), or call Dana at: 847-894-9796.  Blue was abandoned in an apartment with another dog named Laney. It’s believed these 7 to 8 month puppies are siblings. Blue is a great dog, a little larger than Laney and he gets along with other dogs. He’s a little underweight, but healthy. The dogs don’t need to go together.  Charlie lived with a dog named Fiona when he was in a home. He’s very high-energy and needs to spend timing wearing that off each day. There is a rescue interested in taking him but they need vetting donated.  View the list »
Kyra was rescued in January and has a sponsorship of $150. This sweet shy girl walked up to animal control still dragging her leash. She was emaciated, was covered with tumors and is very gentle and sweet. Her tumors were not cancerous and now this very sweet girl is in dire need of rescue.

General Pets newsletter

For the past seven months, dogs and cats that have landed at North Chicago’s Animal Care and Control have been getting second chances at finding a family. During that time, none of the animals that have come in have been euthanized for space – instead they’ve been connected with various rescues.

Now, North Chicago needs our help to keep that streak alive. Since the start of the year, over 30 animals have come in. NCACC has just eight kennels and the cat kennels are also in the dog area. The influx of souls is making timing critical for many of the animals that come into animal control.

Although North Chicago usually gets a mix of strays, there has been an influx of Pit bulls and pit bull mixes lately. More are expected in this week. There is also a black cat and four rabbits that have come in recently. If you’re a rescue, please contact North Chicago Animal Care and Control to save these lives.

If you belong to a rescue able to help, contact dandeu@northchicago.org or call Dana at 847-894-9796.

  • Malley is a favorite of the volunteers. This loving girl was in deep mourning her first week at animal control – crying constantly, a deep cry that comes from within. She also is a leaner and will lean against you for extra love.   
  • Colin is a handsome boy who is around one-year-old and he came in as a stray, trying to meet his neighbors in an apartment complex. He’s good with dogs, knows his basic commands and walks well on a leash. 
  • Four beautiful female rabbits looking for rescue as soon as possible. One of them is approximately 3 years old. The others are around a year or younger. They are all white with gray spots. They are so sweet.
