Any Medical or Special needs: She is heartworm positive and is currently undergoing treatment at our local vet! This treatment has a very high success rate, and Peyton is expected to make a full recovery! Heartworms are not contagious to people, or other animals and treatment is fully covered by the rescue!
Temperament with:
Dogs: Great!
Cats: Likes to chase the kitties and would do best in a home without cats
Children list specific ages:
Strangers: Nervous and will need slow introductions
Training Needs:
Crate Trained: Unknown, she is not crated while left home alone
Potty Trained: Yes
Peyton is a PRETTY Pittie mix weighing in around 55 pounds at about 3.5 years old! Sadly, it seems like Peyton wasn’t shown much love prior to rescue, and as a result she can be quite shy and nervous around new people or when she’s in new situations. This sweet girl will need a very patient family who’s willing to give her the time and space she needs to fully decompress. With consistency, gentleness, and a calm environment, Peyton will continue to blossom into the loving, trusting dog we know she can be! Once Peyton does open up, she is a LOVE BUG and highly affectionate! One of her favorite things to do is cuddle and smother her favorite people on kisses! As if she could get any sweeter, she is GREAT with other dogs and has no food, toy, OR water aggression towards people OR other dogs! She really opens up when other dogs are around to play with so having another furbaby in the home might help her to warm up in her future family!
Peyton is still learning what car rides are so be sure to buckle her in while on rides! While Peyton is still learning about car rides, there is one thing she does know: how to keep all four paws on the ground! Peyton is GREAT about not jumping on people, which is such a nice quality, especially for families or anyone who prefers a polite greeter. She’s gentle, respectful, and always tries her best to make a good impression! She thrives in a calm, predictable environment and would love a family who understands that slow and steady is the key to her heart. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, dog-friendly companion who just needs a little extra patience to feel safe, Peyton may be your perfect match! Once she trusts you, her loyalty and love are unmatched!
This beautiful girl is so deserving of a forever home where she can continue to grow, feel secure, and finally experience the love she’s always needed. Peyton is ready—she just needs someone willing to take that first step with her!

More about this rescue
MISSION
Our mission is to be a voice and a home for dogs and cats who do not have one. To provide love, care, and shelter for those who have never had it or have lost it. We believe all animals are deserving. We will rescue, protect, vet, and provide hope as we search for loving forever homes for all animals that come into our care.
PURPOSE
Ruby Whiskers Animal Rescue, based in Lemont, IL, is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. Operated by dedicated volunteers and supported by foster families and sponsors, our goal is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.
GOALS
Successfully rescue and rehome dogs and cats from kill shelters and other abandoned situations.
Spay/neuter all animals that come into our care.
Grow a foster and volunteer network.
Support and educate the community of the importance of spay and neuter.
Keep pets with their families by providing assistance with pet food, training, vetting, or any other pet related issue, in order to keep them together and out of the shelter.
Educate adults and children to build awareness, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay and neuter for all animals.
Advocate for stronger laws regarding animal welfare, cruelty, and puppy mills/pet stores.
Help decrease the homeless/abandoned animal population to in turn reduce euthanasia rates at shelters and animal control organizations.

Successful RWAR adoptions depend on strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers. Through these relationships we will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year and provide them with loving temporary care and carefully-matched forever homes.
SUPPORT
Best Friend’s Animal Society NO-KILL 2025 Goal
Reaching no-kill by 2025 means that every shelter in our country is getting the community support it needs to save every dog and cat who can be saved. *When a shelter is saving at least 90% of dogs and cats entering that shelter, it is designated as no-kill.*
