Meet Lucky Ducky

Mr. Lucky Ducky is a charming, affectionate, lovable, distinguished senior gentleman looking for a loving home! This adorable little old man was found as a stray and found himself at Chicago Animal Care and Control. A chaotic, loud, scary animal control facility is not the most comfortable place for any dog, but shelter life is especially rough on the seniors. Senior dogs should spend their golden years in comfort, surrounded by love and care, not in a small, cold, stainless steel cage or concrete run. Thankfully, a Pal's Place foster home spotted Lucky and immediately stepped up and opened their home and heart to him so we could bring Lucky into our foster program. Lucky appears to be a Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and is estimated to be between 10-12 years of age. His photos are a bit deceiving and make him look a little larger than he is, but our precious, petite little fella weighs just under 10 pounds. Lucky is a low-maintenance, easy-going dog who loves practically anyone he meets. He is a couch-cuddling champ with superior snuggle skills, a true lap dog! Lucky loves his food and snacks, going for short walks around the neighborhood, his warm, cozy sweaters, and the companionship of other dogs (but can be overwhelmed by very energetic young ones) and cats. What he loves most of all, though, is simply being with the humans he loves. Lucky is also well-behaved in the home and housebroken. His eyesight is not the best anymore, and he prefers to be carried up and down stairs, but overall, he's a hardy, healthy senior. He doesn't ask for much of his retirement home, just a warm, cozy bed and daily cuddles. What's not to love about this guy?! He's pretty much perfect in our eyes and will make one lucky household very happy. Lucky deserves a loving home that will love, spoil, and dote on him in his golden years. Could it be yours?  He recently had a dental cleaning and senior bloodwork (all good!) and is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm tested (negative). Lucky's adoption fee is $275. He is being fostered in Lake Geneva, WI, and can be seen by appointment once an application has been submitted to the rescue. You can complete our adoption application online at palsplacerescue.org/adopt/  For more information, you can email [email protected] or reach out directly to their foster mom, Sandi, at (773) 991-4004 • Lucky's adoption fee is $275. This fee helps to cover any necessary medical care to prepare her for adoption. Pal's Place relies solely on donations to care for the animals in our rescue. Your contribution also helps save other animals like Lucky from euthanasia. • Please email [email protected] for an adoption application and put the dog's name in the subject line. Please check your spam/junk folder; sometimes, the applications end up there! • All of our dogs are in foster homes and can be seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an approved application has been received. To receive more info, please email [email protected]. Email is the preferred method of contact and is the quickest way to receive a response. We cannot place holds on our dogs; please do not apply until you are prepared to adopt.

Adoption Process
The majority of our dogs are rescued from Hazard County, Kentucky. After rescue, the dogs are placed into foster homes in Chicago. Once in fosters, our dogs are fully vetted. This includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchips, parasite control and testing, heartworm testing and treatment if ncessary and any other care needed prior to adoption. All dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered before placement. Our adoption fees for senior dogs (8+) start at $175, our fee for adult dogs is $375 and our fee for puppies 6 months or younger is $475. An application is required to be considered for adoption and an adoption contract is signed at the time of adoption including a clause that any dog must be returned to Pal's Place for placement at any point if the adopter is unable to care for the dog.
