Hamilton's Story
Hamilton is a sweet young pup, who’s super cute, energetic, playful, and has the most adorable floppy ears! Hamilton is still a young dog, and would benefit from more basic training, with lots of positive reinforcement and yummy treats to help him on his quest to be the best boy. Hamilton can get a little excited when meeting new people, but he’s super friendly and playful, he just needs a little more training on meeting and greeting. If his new family can continue to work on clicker training with him that would be an added bonus!
And as he’s such a bright spark, Hamilton would not only benefit from physical activities, but also mental stimulation too; nose work, learning tricks, or agility training would be a great way to channel Hamilton’s natural energy and enthusiasm and help build a fabulous connection with his family too!
Are you Hamilton’s new family? Hamilton is a very sweet young pup, so if you are an active family, and can offer this sweet boy love, time, training, lots of treats and Kongs to keep this young boy engaged, then Hamilton may be the pup for you!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, there are few steps you must complete before scheduling an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center:
1. Please start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to their needs!
2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.
3. Finally, schedule an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center! During your appointment, you’ll be able to meet all currently adoptable animals at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center and walk through the adoption process with our staff and volunteers. Appointments are not required but encouraged for a more efficient visit.
Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet during your first visit to the Adoption Center, please feel free to schedule another appointment.

Why Adopt?
Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.
At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 5,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!
First Time Fostering? Learn More
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 1,921 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
