Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Wynter
DOB 12/5/18. 9 weeks old
German Shepherd mix
PLEASE RESEARCH THIS BREED BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION
We want our applicants to be aware of their high energy levels, they are a working class breed.
Here’s our little girl Wynter. She is one of 5 siblings to come from a tough situation in Kentucky. Mom has puppies, puppies aren’t wanted. To the shelter they go. She is an active puppy who loves human interaction. She loves toys and play time. She would do well with another dog in the home (although not required) and an active family who enjoys walks, activity and lots of energy. She is being fostered in a home with other dogs, and children. She is working hard on her basic puppy manners. If Wynter sounds like a fit for your home, please submit an application today!
Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescue dogs. We are committed to finding them the perfect home. Together we can make a difference in the life of a dog.
The adoption process should be a fun and exciting times for families and dogs. Our goal is to place our babies in forever homes. The potential adopter needs to be dedicated to their care and training for life.
Understand that sharing your life with a dog can be a commitment of 15+ years. This would include feeding, exercise, training, vetting, and providing a loving home. Ask yourself, "Am I ready for this type of commitment?" If you are ready, we are here to help. We do have some requirements to help us find the perfect placement of our babies.
1. Apply online at https://www.foreverhomedogrescueil.org/
We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family (including other dogs) to approve an adoption. Only a final approval for adoption can take place after a successful meet and greet. This is done by appointments only. We will not proceed with the adoption if everyone has not met the dog. This will allow others the opportunity to adopt the dog.
2. Adopters MUST be 21 years old.
Information on all adults/members living in the home is required
We REQUIRE you to provide proof and vet reference that all current and past pets have been kept up to date on all routine medical.
3. Illinois law requires that all of our dogs and puppies be spayed/neutered within 30 days of adoption. In order to fully comply with this regulation and reduce the number of homeless dogs and puppies, we donot permit out of state adoption on unaltered dogs/puppies.
4. If you do not own your home, you must provide landlord contact information on the application and a copy of your lease that outlines the rules for dog ownership in your residence.
Large breed dogs will not be adopted into apartment settings or where there are breed/ size restrictions.
Puppies have special need and require a home where someone is available to care for, socialize, and give basic training. If you are gone for more than a couple hours at a time, please consider adopting a teen or older dog.
5. Adoption fees are $300. We accept checks or cash. (Prices are subject to change without notice).
6. All dogs and puppies adopted through Forever Home are fully vetted with age appropriate vaccines. Keep in mind once you take possession of your newly adopted dog, any and all future medical costs or care is YOUR responsibility.
