Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Moët had all the feels when he arrived. Drooling, shaking, avoiding, hiding even outside. He’s just a baby. Even if his previous situation wasn’t great, coming to the shelter is still trauma. Moët comes around a little more every day. Instead of hiding in his kennel, he is making eye contact and wagging his tail. The more time we spend with him, the more sweet and silly pup we start to see.

Chicago Animal Care and Control is located at 2741 S. Western Ave., Chicago, IL, and is open from 12pm to 7pm daily. Walk-in visitors are welcome and helped on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are planning to adopt the day you visit, please plan to arrive before 5:30pm. Visitors arriving after 5:30pm will still be able to view animals in Pavilions A-B-C until 7pm.

All dogs will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated before adoption.

All household members should be present to meet dogs (especially those under 18 and any decision-makers).

We recommend and can arrange dog-to-dog meet and greets for your current dog(s) to meet a potential dog sibling at the shelter. You will need to show proof of up-to-date rabies vaccination for your dog(s). Slow, cautious, and appropriate introductions are recommended after you allow time for decompression for the shelter dog.

If you have any questions, please email caccpetfinder@gmail.com
