Story
🌼 Meet Meadow 🌼 Meadow is a beautiful 2–3 year old girl looking for a fresh start and a family of her own. When meeting dogs, Meadow was very stiff, unsure, and clearly stressed, so she is looking for a home without canine companions. However, she did great with cats during her evaluation! We always recommend slow introductions, but we are confident she will do well in a home with feline friends. The shelter environment has been a little overwhelming for Meadow, and she’s still learning that the world can be a safe place. With patience, understanding, and plenty of love, we believe this sweet girl will blossom into an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a cat-friendly best friend who just needs someone to believe in her, Meadow may be the perfect match. ❤️ She will come up to date on her vaccinations spayed and microchipped! Her heartworm test is pending. Available through County Line Pet Hospital for adoption or licensed rescue pull. Clphadoption@gmail.com 708-754-2351

Story
Buzz was found in Oklahoma chasing neighborhood cats with is pal Woody. This landed him in doggy jail! Once his stray hold was up he went right to the euthanasia list. The shelter is so crowded he was living in an outdoor kennel.. But that didnt break his spirit. He was transported last moment to Illinois and is starting a new chapter. So far we are told by fosters that Buzz is smart, affectionate and ready for adventure! They say his name suits him because he willing definitely love you from infinity to beyond! He absolutely loves people. He is going to make a family so happy! So dont wait, let that be you!!

Story
Woody was saved from euthanasia at an Oklahoma shelter. He was originally found as a stray chasing cats with his pal Buzz. That landed him in doggy jail where he stayed in an outside kennel for weeks. A wonderful foster offered to help him when we learned he was scheduled to be put down. Now Woody is with a loving foster. He has been treated to his first pup cup and child's baseball game. Somehow Woody just fits! He really is a loving family member who wants to be with you no matter what. If you think you need some big love in your life Woody is definitely your guy, from infinity to beyond!
