Falco

Age: 7 months old Sex: Male Breed: Mastiff Weight: 47 pounds Good In Home With: Dogs, Cats, Kids

At just almost 8 months old, Falco has already lived a story of survival and hope. Found abandoned in an empty building with a broken leg in two places, he was carried out and brought to Chicago Animal Care and Control—where his journey to a new life truly began. Rescued and given a second chance, Falco has shown us all what it means to be resilient, radiant, and full of love.

Falco isn’t just a puppy—he’s pure magic. A soulful old soul wrapped in puppy joy. He’s a cat whisperer, a human confidant, and a dog’s best friend all in one. Spend just a moment with him, and you’ll feel the glow of a bright star who sees the world with both wisdom and wonder.

When his injured leg could no longer be saved, Falco took the change in stride. Now a proud tripod pup, he proves every single day that three legs are more than enough to live life at full speed. Without the pain of his broken limb, he moves with comfort, confidence, and joy—showing us that sometimes, what we lose makes space for the best version of ourselves.

Falco is everything you could ever ask for in a family member, a friend, and a source of daily inspiration. He is proof that love and resilience can turn even the hardest beginnings into the brightest futures.
