Adopt a Pomeranian in Illinois

Pomeranians are bold, fluffy, and lively toy dogs with personalities much bigger than their bodies. They appear in rescue when grooming, barking, or small-dog syndrome become too much. A rescued Pom is a charming, alert companion that fits anywhere.

Illinois has a large rescue dog community, with Chicago and the surrounding suburbs home to dozens of active rescues and shelters. Downstate organizations in Springfield, Peoria, and Champaign also serve large populations. A rescued Illinois dog typically comes from an active, well-connected organization.
