The shelter is critically over-capacity, meaning it is euthanizing good doggies due to lack of space!!! It is a crapshoot which dogs are chosen. Pure bred Shepherds are not adoptable through the shelter, Chicago Animal Care and Control, can only go through a rescue org, so harder to get out to safety, since the rescue orgs. need fosters (can be fostered or foster to adopt through a rescue org). The following info. about timid, but good boy Austin is from the rescue org: Is 2 years old, came in as a lost dog. He is a little more reserved and nervous when you first grab him from his kennel, but he does warm up, just takes him a little time. Austin takes treats gently and loves food, not really interested in toys. No issues with handling other than him being nervous to start. Did well with another dog. Mit Liebe German Shepherd Dog Rescue is taking applications for good boy Austin, if live in Chicago, north of Chicago, Wisconsin, and part of Michigan (https://www.mlgsdr.com/) and German Shepherd Rescue, Inc., if live in Chicago/Chicagoland area/part of Indiana (https://gsrescue1.org/ ). Please apply to whichever is applicable, even both, if within the boundaries. PLEASE, if can help Austin, apply! Once application sent, please email link below, so I can give them a heads up, but for specific questions regarding Austin, need to contact the rescue orgs. If process unclear, can also email the link below and will clarify. Thank you.
