Story
I adopted Sadie from an animal shelter and she was only 2.5 months old at the time. At the shelter they said she is a border collie poodle mix. My girlfriend and I were hoping for a low shedding dog because she has severe pet allergies. Sadie is unfortunately not low shedding which is why we are looking to rehome her. Sadie is now about 1.5 years old, has a lot of energy and love. She loves playing fetch in the yard and she is very friendly with other dogs so she would be great for a household with another dog or an active person. She is house trained and knows basic commands- sit, lay down, paw, and leave it. She’s never shown any signs of aggression and doesn’t really bark. With most people she is good at staying down, sometimes she gets overly excited and can try to jump up to say hi. I haven’t introduced her to many children but she is smart and I think would be great with kids over time. She’s an awesome dog and we are heartbroken we have to rehome her.

Sunny Spayed Female 2 years old 45lbs Breed Guess: Border Collie / Great Pyr Sunny is just the best… we’re beyond smitten! This girl is SO sweet and submissive. She’s a loving family dog who lived in a home with children and did great with them. Most unfortunately, her family gave her up because she was too rambunctious with their free-roaming chicken. You can tell she’s just meant to be in a home and the shelter is such a scary place for her. She’s wonderful with people and dogs alike, and just wants to be your BFF.

Story
Meet Jolene! This girl is just full of puppy energy and joy! The beautiful Jolene is already quite the accomplished girl at 9 months old. She is already potty trained and has started working on desensitization as she does get very excited when she sees other dogs... Jolene has had a couple of successful play sessions with other dogs while in the shelter and would probably love to go to a home with other dogs who she can play with to expend her wild puppy energy. Jolene is definitely still learning the ropes as an adolescent girl but is sweet, eager to please, and a big lover of cheese! If you would like to meet Jolene and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and our team will guide you through every step of the adoption or foster process.

Meet Rosemary! 🐾 Rosemary is a 14-month-old, 48-pound, spayed female looking for a loving new home. She was originally adopted from Wright-Way Rescue at nine months old, but due to a change in her owner’s work and travel schedule, he’s unfortunately no longer able to give her the time and attention she deserves. Rosemary is an amazing dog—and if I didn’t already have two dogs of my own, I would happily keep her myself. She has a relaxed, easygoing temperament, balanced with the normal bursts of puppy energy. She’s incredibly social, friendly, affectionate, and loves to play. She is great with kids and other dogs and currently lives with two Great Pyrenees, whom she loves playing with, managing, and occasionally trying to corral despite being half their size. A few quick facts about Rosemary: * 14 months old * 48 pounds * Female and spayed * Up to date on all vaccinations * Great with kids * Great with other dogs * Social, playful, and friendly * Generally relaxed and easygoing

Story
Lobita is a pet that was given to my sister in 2020💖💖💖. She is very playful. She has a lot of energy. She grew up with my daughter who is now 4 years old. Unfortunately, my sister moved to Ohio in 2022. I saw Lobita again in 2025. My sister does not have time to take care of her. She is neglected so I decided to have her but my renter does not allow me to have her with me. She needs a home where she is loved and receives basic care😢
