My story

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

***In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society's physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***

Wilco is a 5-year-old Plott Hound who we've owned since she was a puppy. She is spayed, house and crate trained, and has been in extensive obedience training and LOVES to practice her skills. She's about 70 lbs. (large for her breed). She does not have any dietary restrictions other than being a little picky (she likes some stock on her dry dog food) and her health has been top notch her whole life. She currently takes Prozac to help with her anxiety, which she's had since we moved to Chicago in 2021.

Wilco is good around other dogs and hasn't spent much time around cats. She is nervous around small children, which is why we need to rehome her - she's been very cagey and a little growly around our baby, and we think she'd do better in a house without small children (under 5). She's totally fine with older kids and humans. She gets 60 minutes of exercise a day, loves pets but not to cuddle, and won't try to sleep on your bed (she prefers her crate).
