We rescued our Aussie and were told she was negative and had all tests done. It wasn’t until after we paid for her we were told she was exposed to an intestinal parasite on top of Coccidia but she was treated and negative for that. Fast forward to 3 days and we sent in a stool sample before her wellness exam just to make sure, along with our other rescue from a different humane society, and he was negative but she was positive for giardia. The rescue mom asked US what we should do and what med our vet gave US and how she noticed one of her other litters having diarrhea and she told me after we paid for our dog that she let the two litters play together and that’s how she got sick. She told us to not bath her when we got home to let her scent be around the apartment to make her comfortable but she had dries fecal matter in her tail we had to cut out, dirt all over so we bathed her immediately with flea/tick shampoo since she didn’t have any preventative yet and the water that ran off her was dark brown. The company did not want to accept that the foster was negligent until I sent screenshots of my conversation with the foster and then they said they would talk to their board member about reimbursement for the extra medical visit, medication which in total is $200 in fecal floats since it is $51 for each dog. 2 since we have to make sure our current Aussie is clean, our new rescue needs a follow up. We understand there was a lot of pups who were in a shed and needed help immediately but when I went to meet our rescue the foster moms house was a mess. You could barely walk in it, our rescue and her litter mates were in a kennel outside where one of them was eating mud and I saw dried poop all in the yard, the kennel did not look like it was taken care of and I just do not understand how when you foster, you do not have spare time to make sure that the litter your fostering who have already been through so much don’t have a clean space where they don’t have to worry about getting sick. The company told us they have a very low price compared to others but our current rescue Aussie came from DCHS and he had the same medical treatment as our new Aussie, was given Albon like our current rescue was given but he was given the powder medication afterwards as they knew that could also be a potential for giardia. He was sent home with a cone, all the meds he needed and we got a follow up from the humane society asking if he was okay and there was any other medical treatment he needed. They let us know about his medical issues before we got him so we could discuss if we could financially give him the life he deserves, not AFTER like the our current rescues foster did. It’s been a day since they said they will talk to their board member and I have yet to hear back but something tells me that they think this is all our fault and they won’t take the severity of doing home checks if where pets are being fostered …. The I only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because they saved those pups and they were patient with us when we were having difficult with our current rescue.

Can't say enough good things about NLOL Chicago! I adopted Teddy from them 8 years ago, and to this day they still keep in touch with me and help me with any questions I might have! They are 100% volunteer run so they don't have an actual shelter facility, just their homes and their hearts. They genuinely enjoy hearing his updates and even seeing him at events over the years! If you have other pets in the home, of course they should be spayed/neutered to adopt another. That's a known fact of most reputable rescue organizations. :)

I first found NLOL Chicago through friends who adopted their pup through them. This is the most extraordinary group of folx that go above and beyond for the dogs in their care. I started out as a foster for Patch, but quickly fell in love with him. He had a lot of medical issues, but the rescue paid for his treatment and were committed to making sure that he was well taken care of. It has been a year since Patch joined our family and I am so thankful.

We are good dog owners. But because we have made the vet/personal decision to not alter our male dogs, we are automatically bad dog owners. We do NOT breed our dogs and take all the proper actions to prevent accidental breeding, but they don't care. We are automatically label as bad pet owners. All the dogs needing homes but yet you won't even give people a chance unless they meet your list standards. Part of the problem far as far as I'm concerned.

Places like that need more recognition in our days. Act of kindness will save human in our cruel time. Stop by and feel the vibe, the hope for our loved once, it’s amazing gesture to help with what you can! Be kind

Amazing heart from this team. They pulled my dog, Mr. Jarbles, the absolute love of my life. I wish them all the best and will help them however I can in the future.
