My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Twig, one of 8 Forest pups! A rescue person in rural Georgia found 8 six-week old puppies, left alone in the woods. After getting their shots and check-ups, they were brought to Chicago on an 18 hour transport relay set up just for them. Thanks to the care they received during the past 3 weeks, they are very friendly, well socialized, and love human attention. They have typical puppy energy, but as soon as you pick them up they melt in your lap.

Twig will be about 12 weeks old on September 1st, and currently weighs 15 pounds. She is one of the most outgoing pups of this litter, although she can be shy at first. She does well with other dogs and like to play with her siblings. Twig has the face of a hound and the speckles of a cattle dog, but that is only a guess at her parentage. Only those wiling to take pot luck in terms of her ultimate size and breed need apply!

Because she is so young, Twig will need a family where someone is home part or all of the day to get her on a regular schedule for potty-training, and to keep her exercised and socialized. Puppy obedience school is also required.

You can meet Twig at her current foster home, Wilmette Pet Center, 625 Green Bay Rd., during normal store hours (847-251-6750, www.wilmettepetcenter.com) Though you may want to take her home on the spot, please know you will first have to go through our normal application process.

Her adoption fee of $350 includes: vet exam, DAPP (distemper combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, microchip, deworming, flea and tick prevention, heartworm preventative and spay.
