Swiss's Story

Pal's Place recently rescued two of the sweetest, cutest, and most lovable little nuggets in town, and they're now looking for loving forever families. Swiss and Colby are precious lovebug littermates who were rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. They are currently in a loving foster home in Chicago, waiting to meet their forever families. Their mother is a purebred Boston Terrier; their father is unknown. The other half of their parentage may not be known, but whoever daddy is, he produced some adorable little fellas who have been described as looking like giant Boston Terriers or miniature Boxers! Weighing 35 pounds at 8 months of age, their expected adult size falls right in the middle of the size difference between these two breeds. Fantastic medium-sized pups perfect for urban or suburban dwelling! Swiss can be a bit bashful when meeting new people and is cautiously curious initially. A few gentle pats, kind words, and maybe a little yummy treat or two, and Swiss is fast friends within a few minutes! Like most puppies, he's energetic, playful, curious, and eager to explore the world around him. He'll thrive in an active household that can provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation throughout the day, plus the routine, guidance, and structure all developing puppies need to mature into the best adult dogs they can be. Swiss loves exploring on walks, wrestling with other pooches, collecting toys and bones, sunning himself on the porch, and snuggling with his humans. He is crate trained and making excellent progress with his housebreaking when on a regular schedule. Swiss has had a good start and a solid foundation but is still a young dog learning the ropes who just needs a little polishing work. Potential adopters should be willing and prepared to continue working with him on his housetraining and basic manners training. He's smart as a whip, very food-motivated, engaging, and eager to please, making training sessions with him enjoyable and fun. Swiss is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and started on monthly flea and heartworm. He's a healthy, happy fella ready to live life to the fullest. All he's missing is a family to share his love with. Interested in meeting this cutie patootie? Swiss is fostered in Chicago, and meetings can be scheduled by appointment once an adoption application is submitted and approved. His adoption fee is $475 and helps to cover his neuter and medical care needed to prepare him for adoption. <br/><br/>*For more information or to apply, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit our website at palsplacerescue.org.

Pal's Place's Adoption Policy
Pal's Place is a foster-based canine rescue serving Chicago and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state, provided potential adopters are willing to make the trip to Chicago to meet the dog in person before adoption. We do not ship or transport our animals. We rescue dogs from euthanasia at overturned and open-intake animal control facilities. They are placed in foster homes, evaluated, and fully vetted before adoption. If interested in adoption, please read the information below, outlining our fees and process for adoption. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, and vaccinated before being placed for adoption. An adoption application and contract are required. Our adoption fees vary by dog but are generally as follows: Senior Dogs $275 and up Adult dogs $375 and up Puppies (under twelve months) $475 and up These fees help to cover the expenses of vetting, feeding, and housing the dogs we rescue. We rely solely on donations to continue our work in rescuing needy dogs. HOW TO ADOPT: •Step 1: Submit an application through our website at http://palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ or email palsplace1@hotmail.com for our application in PDF or Word format. Be sure to fully complete the application and ensure contact information for your veterinarian (if you have current dogs/cats in the home or within the past five years) and/or landlords (if renting) is included. We do check vet references, and we do verify if dogs are allowed in rental units. Omitting this information will slow the application process down. Pal's Place has no shelter facility. All our dogs are in foster homes or boarding facilities while they await adoption. Dogs can be seen by appointment once the rescue has approved an application. Any information we know about our available dogs is listed in their bios below this information. Please read the dog's bio thoroughly, we will not respond to emailed questions regarding our dogs if the information is already provided in their bio. • Step 2: A volunteer will do their best to respond to your application within 24-72 hours of submission to schedule a meeting if approved. WE CANNOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY REASON. The sooner we place a dog into a loving forever home, the sooner we can bring another in desperate need of rescue into our program. Please do not apply unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. If you are expecting a response, please check your spam or junk folder, as correspondence from us may end up there. If you haven't received a response within 72 hours, please email Samantha@palsplacerescue.org to verify your application was received. • Step 3: Meet the dog! All adults living in the home must be present at your appointment. If all parties agree the dog is a good match for your home at the time of the visit, be prepared to take your new best friend home with you the same day. We send all our dogs home with a collar, a small bag of the food they have been eating, and their medical paperwork. An adoption contract and disclosure form will be completed at that time, and the adoption fee will be collected (each dog's individual fee is listed in the bio). Adoption fees can be paid via cash, check, Zelle, PayPal, or credit card via Stripe. In the case of litters of puppies, we can no longer hold a particular puppy for visits due to a huge increase in no-shows and last-minute cancelations of meet-and-greet appointments over the past several months. An effort is made to schedule visits with puppies in the order the approved applications were received. Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake, high-kill shelters in Kentucky. We often have very little information about the dog's past before rescue. Breed and adult size are often educated guesstimates, and we cannot guarantee either. We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Monetary donations are always needed and welcomed and fully tax-exempt in accordance with the law.
