Foster brothers Tater and Scotch would like to remind you all that some of their friends are waiting on foster (or better yet, forever) homes.
Nova, in the upper right hand corner, is a wonderfully sweet girl who loves people and even other animals. Nova has a dominant personality (not to be confused with aggressive, as people sometimes do). This means that after a few weeks in a foster home, she can get bossy if allowed to. She is a very smart girl and if you give her an inch, she’ll take a mile. She needs someone who will be a leader, set her ground rules and guidelines and be consistent with her on a daily basis. She has met a lot of our volunteers and even gone to meet Curtis Scott Dog Trainer. All agree she’s a great dog, extremely friendly, loves to cuddle, not at all fearful.
When we say a dog needs a strong leader, that does not mean that she needs someone who is going to be a harda**, or mean, or put her in a pinch collar and walk around popping it – not even close. It means a person who is simply committed to working with her everyday. Exercises and training activities to keep her mind engaged, keep her focused on her person, and let her know she doesn’t have to lead because her home already has a leader. Nova truly is a sweetheart and anyone interested in her should know that we will provide training support.
Lower right hand is Nico, still waiting on a home. Nico is very sweet, affectionate, takes treats gently, good on a leash and likes to go for walks. No really little kids and a calmer (I’m not talking a monastery, just not overly active) environment, since being blind in one eye can make him a little bit skittish.
And Rufus, poor guy in the lower left hand corner. We are still trying to find a foster home to get him pulled from the shelter. He is visually impaired after suffering some abuse and is absolutely petrified. We need to get him in a loving home ASAP to help him begin to heal.
Fostering costs you nothing but time and patience and love. For more information, please contact us at ABRAangels@gmail.com.

Jane’s last sighting was in Crete, IL, near intersection of Klemme and Water Tower. Crete police have been wonderful with helping, lots of neighbors and friends as well. Foster mom is devastated. PLEASE be on the lookout if you are in the area and SHARE SHARE SHARE! We just got Janie on Friday, the 5th . We did have her microchipped. Her little collar is pink with yellow. If you see her, please contact us at 219-508-4835 ASAP. Thank you.
Just a few of our many incredible adoptables. All ages, all sizes, all incredibly loveable, and all looking for the perfect forever home. Even if you are unable to adopt, you can continue to support our cause and help these animals find health and happiness. We have taken in a total of 18 new animals in just the past week. Every animal immediately goes to our vet for a check up and receives any medical care that is needed. With so many dogs and cats, we are always seeking ways to pay down our vet bill. If you are able to donate, please visit the link below or feel free to call our vet (219-627-3264 Animal Care Center of St. John, located inside Alsip) to make a medical donation directly to the ABRA, Inc. account. Every little bit helps and no amount is too small.
