Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. âï¸ Noah âï¸ Noah is a 12-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix… and 100% lovable goofball. This fuzzy little lovebug is eager to please and just waiting for his forever person or family to choose him. What’s he like? Great with other dogs and loves to play. Equal parts Velcro pup and independent entertainer — he’ll happily dig through the toy basket and keep himself busy. Knows not to chew furniture or shoes, though socks and dryer sheets are his weakness (he’ll drop them when asked!). Can get overstimulated in chaotic environments and prefers slow introductions. He may take a minute to warm up, but he’s worth the wait. Once he trusts you, he is the sweetest snuggle bug who just wants to be close to his person. What can he do? Kennel trained (sleeps through the night and goes in on command). Fully potty trained with subtle but clear cues. Excellent in the car — calm, comfy, and observant. Recently graduated a 10-day obedience program! He knows “wait,” “place,” “come,” “heel,” loose-leash walking, and more. His perfect match? âï¸ Someone committed to continuing his training and staying consistent. âï¸ A confident, dog-savvy adopter who can guide him and help build his confidence. No cats please! Noah is smart, silly, and full of heart — he just needs someone ready to have his back forever. Please note: Project Hope does not perform DNA testing on our rescue dogs.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nori is a beautiful 4-year-old rescue, 51% Collie and 49% German Shepherd. She is incredibly intelligent, affectionate, loyal, playful, and forms very strong bonds with her people.As Nori reached social maturity, some underlying anxiety and behavioral tendencies became more pronounced, particularly around our other female dog. We have had her evaluated and have worked hard to understand and manage her needs, but despite our efforts, maintaining a peaceful environment between the dogs has become increasingly difficult.We believe Nori’s happiest life would be in a calmer, predictable home where she can be the only pet and live without small children. She would do best with an experienced, patient owner who can provide structure, consistency, exercise, and lots of affection.We love Nori deeply. This decision is about giving her the opportunity to feel secure, relaxed, and thrive in an environment better suited to her needs.

Elgin, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marigold comes to us from San Antonio TX with 4 other siblings. She is the baby of the group a quiet little soul who's been easy to overlook, but is slowly starting to show us there's more to her story. Shes often been the most disengaged of the five, but it may simply be because her more confident siblings tend to take the spotlight. She looks to Magnolia for guidance and comfort, following her lead in new situations. And as Magnolia has started to grow more confident, we've seen Marigold begin to blossom too. Its those small, connected steps that are so special watching her build courage through the trust she places in her friend. Marigold has started coming to the front of her kennel and venturing outside during playgroups instead of staying tucked away inside. Shes interacting more with the environment and observing the world around her, slowly finding her footing. She does allow handling, but because she tends to let others take the lead, she can still be a bit of a challenge to actively engage with. She isn't very treat-motivated though, to be fair, her packmates are usually quicker to snatch them up first! Marigold is: Dog-friendly and gains confidence from her companions Gentle, observant, and quietly progressing Beginning to explore more of her surroundings Independent in her own subtle way, just at her own pace Marigold will thrive in a patient home that understands shy dogs and will celebrate the small wins. A calm, confident dog friend especially one she can bond with will help her continue to grow. She may not demand attention, but Marigold is quietly searching for someone who will see her, believe in her, and give her the chance to bloom. Marigold and the littermates will be in Elgin, IL the second week of July. These dogs didn't have the opportunity to experience much of the world before coming into rescue, so they are under-socialized and lacking confidence. With patience, love and gentle guidance, we believe they will continue to make incredible progress.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mingo is the charming, scruffy boy of the group from a Texas kill shelter with big ears and wiry hair that give him an irresistibly unique look. He's the third most social of his pack, and with every interaction, you can see his confidence growing. Coming from a background with very little human contact, Mingo is learning step by step that people can be kind and safe. The progress hes made has been so encouraging, especially with the help of a trusted female handler. Through her guidance and participation in playgroups, Mingo has started to truly come out of his shell. He now regularly leaves his kennel to explore the yard, investigate new things, and spend time playing with other dogs. Even better, hes begun greeting us when we approach a huge milestone for a shy pup like him! While handling is still a bit of a challenge, hes clearly on a positive path and gaining confidence with each session. Mingo is: Dog-friendly and enjoys playgroups Slowly building confidence with each interaction Especially responsive to female handlers Curious, improving, and eager to explore Mingo will need a patient, understanding home that can continue helping him feel safe and secure. A friendly dog companion and a calm environment will go a long way in helping him keep progressing. With time, encouragement, and love, Mingo is going to be an incredible companion. Mingo and the littermates will be in Elgin, IL the second week of July. These dogs didn't have the opportunity to experience much of the world before coming into rescue, so they are under-socialized and lacking confidence. With patience, love and gentle guidance, we believe they will continue to make incredible progress.

Female, Young

Elgin, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meadow is the heart of her little pack -a gentle ringleader who shows the others what bravery looks like, one small step at a time. She and four other young dogs came from a property in San Antonio where they had almost no human interaction. The only person they knew was an elderly man who would step outside to leave food and water. Because of that, Meadow is still learning what it means to feel safe with people. Despite her shyness, Meadow is the most social of the group and the first to approach. Shell come up to the kennel, sniff your hand, and especially if you have treats she will gather the courage to get a little closer. Shes treat-motivated and will gently take them from you, which is a big step forward for a pup who's still figuring out trust. Right now, touch can still feel scary to her, but shes curious and willing and that's everything. With patience, kindness, and a calm home (bonus points for a confident dog friend!), Meadow has so much potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. Meadow is: Dog-friendly Curious and quietly brave Treat-motivated Learning to trust, one step at a time She deserves a chance at a new life, one where shes not just surviving, but truly loved. If you have a gentle heart and the patience to let her come out of her shell, Meadow will reward you with the kind of bond that only comes from giving a shy dog a second chance. Ready to help Meadow bloom? Reach out to meet her. Meadow and the littermates will be in Elgin, IL the second week of July.
