Honey Bun is an absolute sweetheart with a loving and playful personality. She adores playtime just as much as she loves giving sweet kisses and snuggling up for cuddles. Honey is fully house trained and will even let you know when she needs to go outside. She already knows basic commands like sit and stay, showing just how smart and eager to please she is. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, making her a great addition to a multi-pet household. Her ideal family will appreciate plenty of kisses, cozy cuddle time, and relaxed short walks together. Honey can be a little vocal when she’s politely asking for something she wants or needs — just one more charming trait in her delightful personality. All around, Honey Bun is a truly special girl who will bring so much love and joy to her forever home. 🐾💛 The adoption fee for Honey Bun is $350. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue.

Meet Ducky~ about 6 months old, not fully sure what breeds, any guesses? Heard daschund, corgi, basset. He is good with dogs, very playful and looks to the older dogs for guidance. We dont know about cats. He is great with kids, Hlhe has attached himself to the families daughter. He is in a home with 4 kids age 10 and up and 2 dogs. Housebreaking: Accidents have slowed down but they still happen. Yesterday we were accident free right until bed time. Keeps crate dry, goes in without a fuss and sleeps until it’s time to get up. We are working on leash training. Doesn’t pull but doesn’t want to walk. He loves exploring the back yard. He’s very sweet. Loves to snuggle, be held like a baby and get pats on his belly. He has lots of energy but settles down when it’s time. Has a lot of fun playing with the other dogs and the kids. LOVES tug of war. If you would like to meet him please go to our website Www.atailof4paws.org and fill out our adoption application

Story
Click here for Arnold's Facebook Album DNA results are in and Arnold and Dempster are 86% Beagle with another 6% Bassett and Labrador. They do have longer bodies like a Bassett Hound but sound all Beagle. Arnold, Dempster and Queenie as seen in their original Memphis, TN shelter video: https://youtube.com/shorts/FdASOSHTyP4?feature=share were dumped by family members after their owner died. All 3 tested positive for heartworms and all surely have tick borne disease and I can only imagine how bad Queenie's teeth are. They are all now safe in the Chicago area after a transport out of Memphis on 9-26. These 3 dogs have suffered some neglect besides their health care neglect, but with some time and patience they will learn to trust humans. Queenie has moved to her own foster. Arnold and Dempster just need a lot of human interaction and cuddles to help build their confidence. They are great with other dogs so a foster with confident well socialized dogs in the home will help them adjust to kindness. We need some exceptional fosters or foster to adopt homes that will help with their heartworm slow kill treatment plan. If you can help a frightened, neglected Beagle over come some serious neglect and learn to trust humans again, please PM me. Our foster or adoption application can be found at www.helpibr.org If you would like to help with their medical expenses, we have PayPal at www.illinoisbirddogrescue.org VENMO with @illinoisbirddogrescue and ZELLE with info@illinoisbirddogrescue.org If you would like to help, please click HERE to submit a foster to adopt home application.

Story
Click here for Dempster's Facebook Album April 2026: Little Dempie has been in foster care since January. He was a timid little guy back then but he is doing so much better now and getting more confident everyday. He is even starting to come up for pets and is getting used to being loved on. Because of my dogs he has learned that coming to pet for lov'n is kinda nice. Helping a frightened dog can be very rewarding and I hope I can find someone like me in the Chicago area that has time and patience to help him continue to learn to trust that some folks are nice. DNA results are in and Arnold and Dempster are 86% Beagle with another 6% Bassett and Labrador. They do have longer bodies like a Bassett Hound but sound all Beagle. February 2026: I've had Dempie in temp foster care for a few weeks. He's still a bit shy and unsure of me so he would really need a very patient, loving person willing to work with him. Using food has been helpful but he feels most safe when he is around my dogs. He loves to play, so a home with a playful buddy would be ideal. He is mostly housetrained and he feels safe in a cage. We will be DNA testing him soon to see what else is in his mix. Arnold, Dempster and Queenie as seen in their original Memphis, TN shelter video: https://youtube.com/shorts/FdASOSHTyP4?feature=share were dumped by family members after their owner died.
