About

Meet Lotus

Pal's Place Rescue would love to introduce you to one of our newest and cutest rescues, Lotus, a social, silly, and sweet pup looking for a forever family. This adorable gal is estimated to be 4.5-5 months old (as of 8/15) and weighs in at 25 pounds. Pal's Place rescued Lotus and her three littermates from an open-intake shelter and overburdened animal control facility in Kentucky. An overcrowded, chaotic, stressful pound is no place for very young pups, so we scooped these sweethearts up to bring them to a wonderful foster home in Chicago to find their families. Lotus's breed mix is unknown, and without a DNA test, we can not say for certain, but Lotus and her siblings appear to have some Shepherd, Border Collie, hound, and possibly some terrier breeds in their family tree. True super mutts! Given her current age and weight, we anticipate she will mature into a great medium-sized pooch, most likely in the 40-50 pound range. Lotus is a gregarious, happy girl who is curious, inquisitive, and energetic. She loves meeting people and other dogs and will be a perfect match for households looking for a playful companion. She's attentive and eager to please and looks forward to learning about and exploring the world with her new humans.  We anticipate Lotus and littermates will be energetic, intelligent dogs who will thrive in active households. Puppies are adorable and fun but require a tremendous amount of time, patience, and energy during their first year or so. Puppies this age and size need potty breaks every 3-4 hours, along with lots and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. Lotus will do best in a house where someone is home more often than not and in a household prepared to take on crate training, housebreaking, and basic obedience training. Please consider if you truly have time for a puppy before applying, and please consult with all family members in the home before applying. Lotus and littermates are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and started on flea and heartworm prevention. Their adoption fee to the rescue is $475. These guys are being fostered on Chicago's north side and can be seen by appointment after an adoption application has been submitted and approved by the rescue. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for any reason once they are available for adoption.

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.
