The Suitcase Squad

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgMeet The Suitcase Squad: Small but Mighty Heroes Looking for a Fresh Start Arriving July 12, 2025 Chicka, Mikasa, Sailor, Tomo, Akira, Itachi, Naruto, and Goku may be named after iconic anime characters—but their real-life origin story is even more dramatic. These tiny pups were found abandoned in a suitcase at a park, just days old, with nothing but a heartbreaking note that read 'life sucks didn't know what else to do.' But despite the cruel start they were given, these babies are proving to be resilient, full of heart, and ready to write a new story—this time with love, safety, and forever homes. The Anime Litter will be arriving at 6 weeks old and must remain in a minimum of pairs until they are 8 weeks old and officially ready for adoption. During those first couple of weeks, they’ll lean on each other for comfort and confidence as they grow, explore, and begin to experience kindness from humans. These little warriors survived something unthinkable, and now they’re ready for the love and security they deserve. If you’re interested in opening your home and heart to one of these puppies, stay tuned—they’ll be ready to go home at 8 weeks old, but applications will be open before then! For now they need foster homes. Because life doesn’t have to suck—not when you have puppy kisses and second chances.
