Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Mahala is located in Stillman Valley, IL**
Hi my name is Mahala. I am a Shepard mix and approximately 8 months old . I love people of all ages and I 'm very gentle with the 1-year old my foster mom babysits. If you're laying on the floor I am going to cuddle right up next to you . I have 3 other dogs that I live with and 2 parrots. I never pull on the leash. I know the sit command and I am really close to being fully potty trained. I am a puppy so I am curious as a puppy is. Although I have never chewed anything up I will sneak into my 7 year old foster sisters room and swipe a stuffed animal or 2. I like you to throw the ball but I am not sure why I should give it back . They call it "Fetch". I say I got it I 'm keeping it. Please consider adopting me into your family. If you have any questions feel free to email my foster mom at Michelle@thomasonmachine.com
Fill out an adoption application at http://www.illinoisanimalrescueinc.org/adoption-application/view/form.html.
All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, current on their vaccinations, heartworm tested if age appropriate; treated for fleas/ticks and urgently awaiting adoption!
The dogs and cats are so very appreciative of your support. Together we can save these forsaken loving 'innocents' who are condemned to death.
