Rescue Pack
🐾 Meet Pila, a sweet girl who didn't even know what a toy was until she landed in foster care.
Because of where she came from, toys were a foreign concept. She was scared of them at first… until her foster brother showed her the pure joy of absolutely destroying one. Now? She's a toy-shredding machine, and she needs the tough stuff to keep up.
That's where our friends at BARK came in. Their recent toy donation went straight to Chicagoland Bully Breed Rescue, who said it best: "These toys from BARK are so perfect!"
To BARK - thank you for helping dogs like Pila discover what it means to just be a dog. 🧡

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms — human, foster, and four-legged 🐾💚
To the women who:
✔️ Share their bed with “just one more” foster
✔️ Have fur on every outfit (and wear it proudly)
✔️ Never forget to fill every bowl before their own plate
✔️ Love fiercely, give endlessly, and somehow always say yes again
You are the heartbeat behind every full belly, every wagging tail, and every second chance.
Today we celebrate YOU — the snack providers, the cuddle experts, the ride-to-the-vet coordinators, and the real MVPs of rescue life. 🐱🐶

A miracle in the making. Meet Juliet ❤️ 🐾
About two months ago, our partners at Bonafied Resuce pulled a near-death girl from Humane Indiana. A GSD/Chow mix with a body score of ONE (the lowest possible). Her skin was destroyed. Her paws had been so neglected from confinement that the toes had actually rotted and fused together.
Today, Juliet has gained about 14 pounds. Fuzz is sprouting where bare skin used to be. Her paws are healing (and her rescuers joke she might just turn out to be a great swimmer).
Bonafied has been carefully feeding her with the Instinct Raw puppy food and Blue Buffalo provided through Rescue Pack. As her foster shared with us, "If we had to pay for great food, her vetting wouldn't have been something we could afford and she most likely would have been passed over at the shelter."
That's exactly why Rescue Pack exists. Premium food in the hands of small, grassroots, 100% volunteer rescues means dogs like Juliet get a real shot.
And Juliet? She is SO nice. She gravitates toward children with complete trust - her foster suspects kids may have snuck her food and kindness during her hardest days. She'll be ready for adoption in the coming months once she's a bit "meatier" and spayed.
We'll continue to share her journey while she heals and waits for her forever family. 💛

Every pet deserves a second chance.
This Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, we’re celebrating the incredible shelters and rescues that we support - and the people who choose love over convenience.
When you adopt, you’re not just gaining a companion, you’re saving a life and making room for another animal in need.

We’re bringing the fun to Tails on the Trails at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL and you DON’T want to miss this one…
🎯 Guess the Kibble Challenge**
Take your best guess at how many pieces are in the jar for a chance to win a $200 gift card 🎉
🎁 Giveaways at our very first Rescue Pack booth!
But beyond the fun, there’s a bigger mission behind it all 💚
Every year, millions of pounds of quality pet food go unused - and we’re here to change that. Rescue Pack works to get that food into the hands (and paws) of rescues and families who need it most because every bowl filled is a life saved 🐶
Come find us, take your guess, and learn how you can be part of the impact.
