Canyon's Story

Canyon Shepherd Mix Male 65lbs 1.5 yo Dogs, kids. Wolf or dog, either way majestic and one of a kind. Have you ever wondered what a magical, kind creature from a fable looks like if they crawled off the page into reality? That's Canyon. Found running wild in Kagel Canyon of Los Angeles, and finding his way to the safety of our Pack in Chicago, this guy is an absolute dream. We can go ahead and say it, he's gorgeous, but combined with his heart, mind, soul, and footprints that may as well be glitter— he's other worldly. He's phenomenal with other dogs. Great indoors. Great outdoors. His golden wolf eyes touch your existence like a wand to stardust. Canyon is looking for human(s) filled with wander lust, and seeking adventures, while committed to teaching and learning about constant growth and development of best self for all. He's waiting for you to call Forever. Fill out an application now— mcprescue.org

Mission Compassion Paw Rescue's Adoption Policy

MCP is a Chicago foster based rescue. We focus on dogs who need extra advocacy, including: Pit bull-type dogs, senior animals, animals with medical or behavioral needs, and bonded pairs. We don’t view adoption as placing animals, we view it as welcoming new humans into our Pack. Because of this, our process is intentionally thoughtful and hands-on. Many approved applications ultimately result in us recommending a different dog with stronger match potential. This is part of our responsibility as advocates and something we are known and respected for. Our adoption process typically includes at least three meetings (often more) to ensure a strong, lasting match. These meetings allow time to build a relationship, communicate openly, and support a healthy transition. We are full disclosure, we know our animals well and are honest about their needs. We're hands-on from first meet-and-greet through decompression and beyond, and we are comfortable saying no at any point if the fit isn’t right. We look for organic connections and humans who understand that successful Forever relationships take time, patience, and commitment. Going slow matters to us, for our animals and for our humans. Important Adoption Expectations: All potential adopters are expected to meet their match at least three times with all household members participating in the process. Out-of-state adoptions may be considered for exceptional matches only. Multiple visits to the Chicagoland area are required. We do not ship animals. We do not allow: Gifting animals, surprise adoptions, or any adoptions without full household involvement. Adoption Fees: Dogs: $600 | Bonded pairs: $900 | Cats: $250, $325 for a pair We hold our animals and our humans close. Quality over quantity. Always.
