My story

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

We are so proud of how far Wanda has come! She is currently spending some time in foster, and her foster family has great things to say about her:
"Wanda the wonderful has been such a joy to foster in our home. Although she can be shy around people, she is quick to warm up to other dogs. She enjoys napping, curling up with blankets, and figuring out what toys are. Belly rubs, head scratches, and treats are her new favorite hobbies. This little lady loves to mirror what her companion does, which is helpful when crate training, eating out of a bowl, and learning to be house broken (she is still learning!). When you aren't looking, she loves to figure out what you are doing, so don't be shocked if you find her spying on you. She'll be a great addition to another dog who enjoys having a little shadow of their own, playing in a group or being a couch potato."

More about this shelter

We serve the pets and people in Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin. Our mission is clear: To take responsibility for each and every orphaned, abandoned, abused or neglected dog and cat which reaches our doors; to take them in and shelter them; to provide the best medical and physical care possible for them; to nurture them back to health if need be; and finally to place them into warm, loving, adoptive homes where they can enjoy the lives they deserve.
