Story
Looking for a unicorn… Viola is a 6yr old bichon frise who is looking for her fresh start in life 🐾✨ She is cat and dog friendly and would prefer a home with at least one other dog to feel most comfortable. She is quite shy and reserved when it comes to new people but warms up to new animal friends quickly. She loves snuggling with the other dogs in her foster home and playfully running around the yard. She is potty trained and willingly goes in and out with the other dogs. Her ideal home will need a a fully fenced in yard as she is very skittish around people and will run away if startled. She has severe separation anxiety when isolated from the other dogs in her foster home but does well outside of her crate when left out with the other dogs unsupervised. Her foster home is working on training her to be more confident and comfortable by herself. She will need a patient home that is willing to continue helping her with her anxiety. She follows her foster humans very closely and can pose as a trip hazard because of how close she gets underfoot. She’s not a huge fan of being pet or picked up but will stay nearby and is feeling a tiny bit more comfortable around people every day. She does good for grooming and has high maintenance grooming needs. She will need professional grooming monthly as well as frequent brushing and combing at home to maintain her current hairstyle. Viola will be available for adoption this spring

Story
Teddy! Breed: Bichon Frise Age: 9 years old DOB: 10/31/2016 Weight: 24 lbs. Teddy is a sweet and social Bichon Frise looking for a loving home through Foster Pet Outreach! He enjoys being with his people and loves going places and spending time together. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or relaxing on the couch in someone’s lap, Teddy is happiest by your side. Teddy has a wonderful balance of energy — he’s happy to run around and play or head out for walks, but he’s equally content curling up for a quiet afternoon. He walks well on leash and is both housebroken and crate trained. He does well with dogs of all sizes and would love a canine companion. Teddy is not a fan of cats. He is good with older children but can be nervous around younger kids, so a quieter or semi-active home may be the best fit for him. A fenced yard is great, but he would also do well with someone committed to leash walks and outings. Teddy can be nervous at the vet, but he handles visits without issues. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves adventures just as much as cuddle time, Teddy may be your perfect match!

Story
Check out Theodore Jones (TJ) he is a 7 month old Shih tzu mix weighing in at about 8#. TJ will play fetch for hours, runs and jumps like a kangaroo. He is full of energy and needs someone that can play, walk, and run that energy off. He can jump on top of things and it wouldn't surprise me to find him on top of the kitchen table. TJ would love a high energy dog friend. He is kennel trained and keeps a dry kennel overnight, or while we are gone, but definitely still struggling on the potty training. If you have the energy for this sweet boy get your application in, I'm sure he will receive plenty, so make yours stand out. His adoption fee of $300 covers his neuter, microchip with registration, vaccines, and current monthly flea and heartworm prevention.  Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply ##2741481##

These pups are in Normal, Illinois too!

Story
Meet Benji, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu mix who weighs about 13 pounds and is equal parts gentle soul and devoted sidekick. He’s a friendly, outgoing, and adaptable little guy who finds his greatest joy in being close to his person. Whether he’s following you from room to room, curling up beside you for a nap, or soaking up all the pets you’re willing to give, Benji is happiest when he’s near his people. He enjoys short walks and spending time outside, though he prefers to keep things brief when the weather is too hot or too cold. He does well in his crate but has also earned the privilege of sleeping loose in the home. Benji does wear a belly band to help prevent marking indoors. He has done well with everyone he’s met, though he hasn’t been around children in our care. Benji also enjoys car rides and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, low-key buddy. Benji shares a special bond with his brother, Clark, and the two are looking for a home where they can stay together. Their connection is heartwarming, and they truly thrive with each other by their side. Benji brings a calm, cuddly presence, while Clark adds a bit of playful energy to the mix. Their combined adoption fee is $300, plus a $15 rabies transfer fee for McLean County residents. His minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
