Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This very sweet senior girl has been patiently waiting for a very long time for her forever home....since July of 2016. She's had a very rough life which we quickly saw after she arrived. She is a super sweet, laid back girl who is being passed up for all of the younger dogs. Everyone who meets her just loves her. She went to one of our events and met other dogs, children, people. Everyone loved her and she soaked up the attention. She is so sweet with not a mean bone in her body. She would love a family of her own to live out her years. Please read her story and consider making her part of your family and complete the on-line adoption application which can be found on our website at www.angelsonwheels.org
Jillie is a senior sweetheart and has years of love to give the lucky family who will welcome her home. This poor gal was found as a stray and ended up at an overcrowded Chicago shelter. She was born sometime in 2006 and her intake paperwork said boxer mix. Angels on Wheels Rescue saved her from the harsh reality of shelter statistics at the end of July 2016 and placed this wonderful girl in an Oswego foster home.
Her most favorite things involve food and companionship. She loves people and loves to be near the family and activities. Her handling temperament is excellent for everything from ears to tail. Has absolutely not displayed any form of resource guarding and takes treats gently. She's all about giving and receiving love and attention. From the tips of her ears to her ever wagging tail this girl is the epitome of the "All American Love Dog!" She greets everyone with warmth and enthusiasm. And her tail, it wags a mile a minute.
Jillie is not phased by any household noises, thunder storms, lawn mowers, passing cars or motorcycles. Enjoys riding in the car and looking out the window, prefers riding shotgun. Most times she loose leads walks. She will pull when she thinks we may be going for a car ride or something else exciting, or if that unexpected rabbit cuts her off. We haven't found any favorite toys or retrieve games that interests her yet. She does like interactive learning; has been working on sit, down, give 5 and touch. Jillie is living with larger dogs at her foster house and is polite with greetings and great with them. She is content laying by the others around the house, walks nicely in a group and enjoys some dog play games outside. She has not been feline or small dog evaluated. She has been through a lot of changes, procedures and infections when she first arrived, which have all been treated.
Jillie is housebroken. She may have an accident while sleeping at night so she is on an inexpensive medication to keep that from happening. Jillie does not like being in a crate. It creates anxiety and fear. We are guessing that possibly she was crated to long in her previous home. She takes treats from anyone and everyone very gently. This sweetheart at one time had a family. But somehow ended up in a very scary place in Chicago. She has so much love and life to give. She deserves her very own forever family who will never throw her away. She deserves to feel safe, secure and loved. Come meet this sweet gal, and let the love fest begin.
Jillie is a complete doll. I often find her snuggling on her blanket with a big smile and just wagging her tail at nothing other than she is just a happy girl. She is very responsive to positive reinforcement, food lures, verbal corrections. She is happy to learn and eager to be loving family member.
She has received full vetting including blood work, heartworm test was negative, fecal test was negative, DHPP vaccination, rabies vaccination, microchipped, spaying and extensive dental work with extractions, abdominal ultrasound, treatment for a urinary infection, multiple lump removal with benign biopsy results. Treatment for ear infection. Her diet is softer consistency and receives an incontinence supplement in the evening.
Her adoption fee is sponsored for the lucky family who adopts her with an approved adoption application and home visit. Adoption applications can be done on-line by going to www.angelsonwheels.org and clicking on the "applications tab"
