*PLEASE NOTE: We do not adopt out on a first-come/first-serve basis. Applications are accepted for a puppy and then a home check is scheduled. If there are multiple applications for a puppy, after all home checks are done, then the puppy is adopted out to the home that is the best fit for that puppy. ***** All breeds listed are a best guess or based on information from our rescue partners and are not guaranteed***** ******Chicagoland Dog Rescue reserves the right to restrict adoption of a dog to potential adopters who live within a fifty (50) mile radius of Schaumburg, IL ***** Hi, my name is Aster! I am a 12 year old gal who has accumulated many life experiences. Some have been good and some have been rough but through them all I have remained a sweet and gentle soul with some pep left in my step! What is my ideal day? Short leisurely strolls and a comfy place to sit and watch the world go by. When I was found stray a couple of months ago, I was diagnosed as being heartworm positive. The vet is going to treat the heartworms with a slow-kill method. This takes a while, but it’s much easier on my body. So that leave me looking for a long-term foster or foster to adopt home. I want you to know that I am an easy breezy dog just looking for a soft place to hang out ! I am dog-friendly and kid-friendly, too. Who am I trying to fool??? I LOVE all people! I’m crate-trained and housebroken and a HUGE fan of peanut butter! And being a lab, I am always happy taking a bath and wouldn’t mind a short swim in the lake from time to time either! My “food friends” at CDR are helping me add a little weight to my frame since my ribs are showing, but I love to eat so it should be no problem for me! I have some lumps and bumps from when I didn’t have a home and I was laying on concrete for months at a time. It doesn’t hurt and they are just a sign of my resilience! I can’t wait to meet my foster or foster to furever family! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a foster or pre adoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Love, Aster **The ADOPTION FEE for this pet is $400-450 which includes getting the puppy/dog up to date on rabies, distemper and bordetella vaccines, fecal test and deworming if necessary, heartworm test, spay or neuter (not including pre-surgical bloodwork) and a microchip.
