Ike's Story

Ike -male. Pit Mix Dogs, Cats, kids. 1 Year 45lbs. Ike was found alone and injured on the Eisenhower Expressway in Chicago. He had a fractured pelvis and couldn’t walk. He was brought into the emergency vet by a Good Samaritan. He was so grateful to be rescued he barely acted like he was in any pain. The wonderful men & women at VEG nursed him back to almost full health (he’s still talking it easy for another couple weeks), and then asked us to take over. He was so adorable that one of his vet tech caretakers at the ER, offered to foster him. While Ike still can’t run and play like a young dog his age would like to, he’s still very much enjoying his new life. His foster dotes on him. He’s also been able to make friends with her cat and several dogs in the building she lives in. She’s been keeping him busy with puzzles and bones, which he can’t get enough of. He is crazy about his frozen Kong he gets daily along with some other time taking treats his foster has created for him to help pass the time. While he still has a short time left where he needs to continue taking it a little easy, he is ready for his forever chapter now. He would love an active home. He could have fur brothers and sisters (feline and/or canine) or be the only dog. He fits into more scenarios than not. He’s just happy being included.

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.
