Famous Fido Rescue

Our Mission

Famous Fido's Rescue mission is to save as many animals as possible. We work together to build towards a no more homeless, no-kill Chicago.

Each day, thousands of dogs slip through the cracks and are put down. People think this is better for the animal, we at Famous Fido disagree. By working together we can find a solution to this terrible fate.

Famous Fido is currently working to establish foster care programs, and building an Alliance to come up with viable solutions for these dogs. We are working with shelters and individuals to help these homeless animals.

Famous Fido is a temporary support system and foster facility that gives veterinary care, attention and love to homeless dogs until they can be provided with a great home that fits with the animal.

We at Famous Fido are dedicated to bringing forth a new way of thinking and building an alliance of like-minded people to find solutions for these animals, once and for all. No dog should be euthanized or locked in a cage for months on end. Famous Fido is determined to move this city past this unfortunate reality.

Who is Famous Fido?

Famous Fido Rescue and Adoption Alliance is a no-kill rescue, foster and adoption facility founded by Gloria P. Lissner. Lissner has been rescuing and adopting dogs to the right homes for more than thirty years. Famous Fido works with dogs that are abandoned, homeless and would otherwise be euthanized.

Famous Fido fosters dogs until they are healthy. They are then placed into homes with families that are the right match for them.

Adopt Princess!

"Princess"
Pekingese Female


Princess is incredibly sweet and friendly. She was dropped off at Animal
Control with her puppies. Her puppies were "rescued" but she was left behind!
Help this girl find a new family to love, she really is one of those special dogs
that will make your life better!

She is spayed and has all her shots.

Happy Endings!

HARPER HAS A NEW HOME!

What a great weekend! Harper, our little star and
Apple-Pincher Terrier found a home this weekend!
She's been with us since September of last year.

She has two new doting owners, and two fellow
pooches to keep her company! Lucky dog!




HUGGY BEAR HAS A NEW HOME!


Huggy Bear went into a loving family also! Many thanks
to these wonderful women for providing our girls with
amazing, loving homes...



"Bear" and her new companion...

A little love overshadows Neglect...



Rocky was rescued from Animal Control after spending many days
in a cage watching families pick out dogs that looked better than him.
Sherri Berliner, a photographer and volunteer that works with Famous
Fido, brought Rocky over for a trim and bath. After a few hours of
removing dirt, food, dreadlocks and general neglect off of the dog, the
original Rocky appeared! Malnutrition, dehydration, bites and infections
became pretty evident once the fur was gone. Sherri hopes to place
Rocky in a good home, and Famous Fido will help her efforts as well...




If you want to help dogs like Rocky receive medical treatment, good
food and the possibility of a good home, please consider a donation
to Famous Fido Dog Rescue. Rocky thanks you...



Three Dogs without a Home!

They have missed a summer, Thanksgiving and
the winter holidays without a loving family - and
they could use one soon!

(Good News! Harper found a home!)
