My story

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

Name: Willie
Breed: Rat Terrier Mix
DOB: 1/2/15
Good with kids: YES
Good with dogs: YES
Good with cats: YES
Foster location: Hampshire, IL
Adoption fee: $250
Fun Bio: Poor Willie and Nellie were dumped and abandoned in someone's yard on Christmas Day. We aren't sure if they are related (maybe father daughter?) but Willie is very attached to Nellie. Both Willie and Nellie are great dogs who, despite being abandoned, love life and being around people. They will entertain you for hours! Willie does have a heart murmur but blood work and xray results were great. He also had ten teeth removed but he's still a happy, healthy, little dude! 



If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one. 



We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!
Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with an adoption application. We require a reference check, vet check, and home check. Adoption fees range from $100-$325 depending on the pet. Meet-and-greets can be set up by appointment with the foster home. Our puppies and kittens are not adopted until they are spayed/neutered at the age of 12 weeks. The mixes listed on this site are our best guess - no breed is guaranteed as we do not know the history of these rescue pets.

Most fosters surround the area of Elgin IL. Since we work with fosters, meet and greets must be arranged beforehand!

More about this rescue

A Little R & R is happy to join the animal-loving community to help make a difference in the lives of pets both locally and internationally. The ultimate goal of A Little R & R is to have a facility to offer sanctuary to those pets that have been forgotten - perhaps less adoptable, not as cute, getting older, passed around too many homes - they will find peace with us.

While we work towards this goal, A Little R & R is operating as a small foster-network rescue with the ability to pull pets from high-kill shelters, foster, and adopt to verified individuals. Creating a foster network, rescuing, and adoptions will always be part of A Little R & R's mission.
