We firmly believe that there is a perfect dog for everyone. This doesn't mean our dogs will not have accidents in the house, bark, or chew on your good shoes. They are dogs and they will require training and structure, but their personality traits make them truly unique, beautiful, and "perfect" for the right family. Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency (PPAA) is a Chicagoland based non-profit 501(c)3 dog rescue that was founded in December of 2012. Our dogs come from local animal controls, owner surrenders, breeder releases and transports from under-served communities. All of our dogs live in foster homes prior to adoption, which enables us to get a great idea of their personalities and what situation they would be best suited for. We are dedicated to working with each family to ensure we try to find a dog that will be a mutual match. We are an all breed rescue, but we do focus a majority of our effort on the chihuahua breed- the 2nd most euthanized breed in the shelter system. Our pooches are rescue dogs that deserve a second chance at a wonderful life. Please consider opening your heart and home to a new companion today!
Step 1: Complete an adoption application. Step 2: EMAIL the completed adoption application to info@perfectpooches.org OR FAX to (630) 423-9641. Step 3: A Perfect Pooches adoption coordinator will contact you via email or phone to ask any additional questions. The application will be processed (i.e. references called, information verified, etc). Step 4: Based on available animals and application/interview, an adoption coordinator will try and match you with your perfect pooch. Step 5: If a potential match is found, a home visit is scheduled where we bring the dog(s) you are interested in to your home for a meet and greet with family members and existing pets. Step 6: After meeting the dog and finding one you like, we require a minimum overnight waiting period for both parties to consider the decision. Step 7: If a match is made the adoption will be finalized, which includes signing of an adoption contract and exchange of medical history on the pet.
