My story

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

Pickles was found by a crew of Site Conservation Technicians at Horseshoe Lake State Park in Madison County, IL. In July 2025. As of today no one has claimed him and he has been fostered by one of the technicians since then. The technician position is a temporary job and they will be out of work soon and will no longer be able to care for the dog so rehoming is critical at this time as all other shelters are full. He is both sweet and friendly as well as protective and obedient. Loves to travel and be by your side as much as possible. He requires time, patience, and a lot of exercise. He is no more than a year old according to the vet and up to date on all vaccines, as well as neutered. He has a chew toys, food & water bowls, hoodie & PJ's set, and a harness. I can also accommodate with an outdoor run/lead system if necessary and a large bag of food. PLEASE serious inquiries only! We are running out of time and too many people have given us false hope already. Thank you.
