Chico - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Meet Chico! This sweet young guy is ready to get out of the shelter! Chico is a social boy who can be startled by all the sights and sounds in the shelter but has shown a great deal of affection to humans during his time here. He was reported to be a high energy guy in the home so he could definitely benefit from exercise, enrichment, and structure. Chico is bravely dealing with a chronic ear infection which makes him one of our Special Care pets, but Chico wants to assure potential families that it really isn't that big of a deal to him! Chico is ready to be on a couch again... could it be yours? Thinking about adding a friend to your family? This sweet guy is currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interested in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know! If you would like to meet Chico and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and our team will guide you through every step of the adoption or foster process.
