Chicago residents get ready for the big adopt-a-thon this weekend and through the 23 of July! I checked out the PAWS website and looked at the dogs available for adoption. Whenever I do this with any rescue or animal shelter, I wish I could adopt all of them. Each dog is adorable and I know would be a joy to have.

Here are some of the dogs waiting for forever homes:

Big Moe has a face that is so cute it makes me want to kiss his droopy mug. He’s a one year old Boxer.

Anthem looks just like my Apollo. I saw him and shouted to my dogs how Anthem looks just like Apollo. My dogs had no reaction to my outburst and continued to gaze out the door. Anthem is a one year old Labrador Retriever. He was found with Medley as strays and they are very bonded. They need to find a forever home that will adopt both of them.

This is Medley and her sad face is so sweet. She is a two year old Lab/Pit Bull Terrier mix.

What happens when a Lab and a Sharpei fall in love? You get Midnight, who is an 8 year old male.

Ham is a six month old Shepherd puppy. After arriving at PAWS, it was discovered that Ham did not have full use of his hind legs. As he grows, he has become stronger and is a very playful pup, who loves to chase after tennis balls and wrestle with other puppies.

There are many more cute canines waiting for loving homes at PAWS, visit there website to see if one captures your heart.
