Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation’s Dog Park in the Sky is a special way to honor those that are gone from our lives but never absent from our hearts.
By giving a donation to CCR as a tribute to a loved one, the fate of thousands of the most vulnerable animals in our city can be changed in their honor.
For a donation of $100 or more, your beloved pet’s photo and a memorial message will be posted as a permanent tribute to a beloved life. You may also gift this memorial to a friend or loved one so they may honor their own pet.

To Tip. Thank you for being the best little dog our family could’ve asked for.
You were the sweetest, loveliest friend. I will miss you so much. We had so many wonderful times together. You struggled through illness with dignity and strength. I will miss our walks and lament when you could no longer walk. Your life was too short but memories of you will always bring me joy. Rest in peace my sweet girl.

For almost 16 years, we had the most perfect girl. Kiyoshi was the happiest, sweetest, spunkiest pup who loved everyone she met and would give kisses to anyone who would let her. We love you more than words can say and will miss you always!

In memory of our beloved Aggie. We could not have been luckier than to have you in our lives.
In memory of Biscuit, the best dog anyone could have, ever. For 10 years, you filled our lives with love and joy and smiles and laughter. We wish it could’ve been longer but we know we must be grateful you were with us at all. I close my eyes and imagine you running and romping in a big, beautiful meadow in doggy heaven, with plenty of rabbits and squirrels to chase, and a large, cool swimming hole. We will cherish our precious memories of you forever, and our love for you will never fade. Farewell sweetheart.
Cole, we miss you so much. You are such an important part of our family. We were so lucky to have you in our lives for the last 15 years.
In memory of Chewie. You were the best girl anyone could ever ask for and will always have a special place in our hearts. Love you always, Momma, Daddy, Jerry and Melanie

Missing you always, Bruce Wayne
Jack was the best companion who enjoyed long walks and close cuddles. His ears always expressed everything he was thinking and feeling. We will miss his “shark bumps” with his nose to get our attention and his playful attack on treats he was excited about. We are so grateful for the time we had with him and hope he is enjoying endless treats and blankets for burrowing. 💙
In memory of Maddux, the best handsome boy
Chapo thought breakfast should be steak and eggs, lunch should be steak and dessert must be peanut butter. He believed the snow was made for him to run around in for hours. He was suddenly taken from his Mom, Mika, due to a tumor.
Bastian, we adopted you 11 years ago and have had an amazing companion ever since. You’ve been there for our family during the highest highs and lowest lows and always showing unconditional love. We miss you so much buddy.
In memory of our Rocky – we miss you every day and will love you forever. Love Mom & Dad – Mary and Gerry.
Hugo
You could not have been a better companion. Thank you for all the love Henry. We miss you!
To my favorite Frisbee buddy. When my daddies adopted me, you were my best-est friend in the whole wide world. We played together, we snuggled together…and we got into trouble together. You were the best big brother a little girl could have. Love you always…your little sister, London.

To my baby Buddy – we will walk together again. Love, Mommy
Fabio was adopted in September 2017. He came with a list of medical issues but none of it discouraged me once I saw him. I had him only a short 4.5 years but his adorable grumpiness made its way into my heart as if I had him 20 years. He is very very missed by me in so many ways.
In honor of my sweet girl, Tess. May you continue to shine bright and beautiful, sniff around in the park, get all the treats your heart desires and cuddles galore. You will always be in my heart and I’m always with you. Love and hugs XOXO. RIP, 2006-2021.

Dr. Watson was the most special friend you could ask for and a true miracle of a dog. There wasn’t a bad day when he was there. He brought that same joy to all of the friends, family and strangers he met along the way, and for that, we have to be grateful.
Cam, you were such a joy and life with you was wonderful. You were very strong through your illness. You are loved and missed.
Ronnie Boo – 7/4/03 – 10/9/18 – a Chicago Canine Rescue alum and sweetest little pug boy ever (next to Gracie, his Dalmatian girlfriend, also a CCR alum). Thank you CCR for trusting him with us!
