So, have you heard about Ike?

So last week here in Chicago there was a strange site on the side of one of our busiest expressways - a dog running down the road. Not one morning, but two. He was followed by news helicopters and people were thinking they needed to catch him - but he appears to be a pit bull mix, so a lot of people were nervous (I don't know why - it isn't the dogs that are the problem, it is bad owners, but I digress). On the second day he was tired, and a police officer was finally able to grab him. As soon as he was in the car he fell asleep. They believe he may have gotten a little bit of a bump from a car on the run, but he was basically ok, just tired. They took him to a wonderful no-kill shelter in the area, where he was checked out (he had no chip or tags) and kept for a couple days to get him back into good shape (he was dehydrated and a little banged up but like I said, basically ok.) This was great news - I was afraid they would do something bag with him like send him to a kill-shelter. Well, Ike is doing great, ready for adoption and just went to his new foster home! He is SUCH a cutie too! Anyway, if you want to read about Ike, and see some pictures of him, you can go to the local news stations article on him HERE! We know Ike has tons of people asking about him, and he will have a great new forever home very soon!
