Adopt Me: Reed Will Steal Your Heart

Each week we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Reed is a dog among dogs, one who will steal your heart in an instant. He's a gentle, sweet and affectionate boy with a kind heart. "I'm polite and patient, and never rude," Reed would say if he could talk. "I'm fairly quiet, since I prefer to listen to all that is going on so I can better learn and understand. I'm very adaptable and agreeable, too. Beside human company, my favorite things are treats. I'll do almost anything for a treat, which makes me highly trainable and one who enjoys training. If you're looking for a very handsome guy with a positive attitude to complete your life, I’m the one for you!" Reed's Stats: C.A.R.E. to Meet Reed?

Dog Lovers 'Strut For Strays' Despite the Rain

The annual Strut For Strays brought dogs of all sizes--along with their owners--to Ladd Arboretum in Evanston for a walk to benefit the animal rescue society C.A.R.E.

Animal Rescue Needs To Rescue Its Building

Wright-Way Rescue will hold rally Saturday to raise awareness it needs a permanent home for dogs and cats awaiting adoption.

Cathy Anderson is worried about the puppies--the dark-eyed, tail-wagging beagles, labs and terriers sitting in spacious bays in her animal rescue shelter. They were due to be euthanized until the Anderson family brought them to this facility, where pet lovers can adopt them. The Andersons have saved the lives of 4,500 dogs and cats in their two years of operation, but they may not be able to rescue them much longer. Their landlord has given their shelter, Wright-Way Rescue at 7136 W. Touhy in Niles, a month-to-month lease. At any moment, he  could give them notice they have 60 days to move out. So they're holding a rally from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday to raise awareness that they need a permanent location. (Click on the video at right to see an…
