Story
Meet Wiley! Wiley is an approximately 1.5 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) with a happy personality and a very smart mind. He is an active boy who is always ready for his next adventure and would thrive with a family that understands the needs of intelligent working breeds. Wiley is high energy and will need a breed knowledgeable owner committed to continuing his training and providing both mental and physical stimulation. He is eager to learn and already does pretty well on a leash. With consistency and structure, Wiley has the potential to become an incredible companion. He would do best with an active family that enjoys walks, outdoor activities, training, and keeping their dogs engaged. Wiley is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in life right alongside his people. Wiley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Now, before we go any further into my story.... let me warn you...it contains heartache and then some puppies, and fear and even some hopelessness. We do go to the top of the mountain as well, so hold in for the wild ride of my life:) maybe you will get to be my happily ever after.... So I was born a poor border collie mixed pup, in the miserable heat, in a disgusting backyard. To a mama that could have been so beautiful, if she had been brushed and cared for.... Fast forward thru almost 4 YEARS of misery and puppies, we were saved!!! I was saved with 9 newborn puppies and my sister/daughter/ cousin, etccc Princess and HER 9 PUPPIES TOO! We landed safe and sound at the rescue! We are now gorgeous girls and all pups grown and adopted! Now its time for me!! I am a single gal, and really don't like other dogs in my business. I want to be the Queen of the house :D Adopt me and I will fill YOUR home with my love and devotion. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there... I'm Dixie. I'm quite literally the best girl, according to the staff and volunteers here at the rescue. About me: I LOVE the water—I could swim all day! I'm fully potty and house trained, and I'll even let you know when I need to go outside by crying at the door. I walk nicely on a leash and absolutely love playing fetch (at least until my age catches up with me. I know my name, and have excellent recall. I seem to do okay with larger dogs, but smaller dogs I do not like.  I am a quiet, gentle soul looking for a forever home to call my own. While I may be a little older, I still enjoy playing with my toys and spending time with other dogs when the mood strikes. My journey here has been quite the adventure. During a big storm, the local fire department found me in the water and brought me to the rescue. They later realized they had actually been trying to catch me for months, believing I was a stray. But it turns out I wasn't always on my own. I once had a loving owner, but after he passed away, I was given away because his mother was no longer able to care for me due to her own health challenges. I'm already spayed, fully vaccinated, 4DX tested (positive for heartworm), and up to date on my ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. I am heartworm positive right now, but I’ve already started treatment. I’ve been on antibiotics and am going through the ProHeart 12 protocol approved by the American Heartworm Society. The good news is that with this treatment, I should test negative in about 8–10 months. My adoption fee is $250, and you can apply to adopt me at www.adoggie4you.org. I'm currently in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), and locations along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, I cannot be transported to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 29, 2026, 11:45 am

Story
Greetings, Humans! I`m so excited! Please allow me to reveal a bit about myself in hopes that you will want to come meet me!I think my name Ronaldo (of Romance-language origin) conveys a lot about my personality. I`m spirited, bold, confident, gallant, like a swashbuckler, dashing. Ooh, that`s it! Dashing totally describes me! Not only my handsome appearance, but also the fact that I happen to run like the wind! There`s no better feeling that I`ve ever experienced!Around a year old and 30 lbs. I also like slower-paced walks, since during those I get to walk alongside my human (ok, maybe I pull them just a little bit) while having the chance to investigate and do some serious sniffing. I am a friendly guy. Little humans, big humans, boy or girl humans - I like them all. I`m drawn to other dogs my size or larger; I am checking them out to see if they might make for a good playmate. Inside the house I have gotten the hang of going to the back door, so you`ll know that I have to go out. And I`ve learned that when I am told sit, it often means that something special and yummy might be offered to me! And if you have any of these types of toys in your house, that would be the bestest, because I like to keep busy, busy, busy! Chew toys, rope tug-toys, squeaky toys I like them all. If you would play WITH me, now that would make my playtime the best of all.I need my forever home to include another playful dog and a fenced in yard for us to play in. Ohhh, and no cats in my life, please.So why don`t you come meet me? Can`t wait to show you my dashing nature!Interested in meeting this dog? Fill out an application and to find out how to meet this dog.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dogs` individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don`t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

Story
Bluey is an absolute gem! 💙 From the moment he saw me, we were friends. He was so happy to see a human coming toward him that he did a little tap dance — he simply couldn’t contain his excitement! And yet, despite being so happy, he was incredibly respectful of personal space. Bluey is perfectly content just trotting along beside you, and it’s absolutely heartwarming to see him check on you every once in a while, just to make sure you’re still there at the other end of the leash. 🥹 Walking him is a true pleasure. He’s gentle on the leash, doesn’t pull, and happily stops every now and then to sniff and explore. He will politely sit and wait for a treat, and he takes them so gently. He was completely unfazed by bicycles on the trail and paid no attention to other dogs or squirrels. Trust me when I say this, as someone who has four dogs of my own: Bluey is as easy as it gets! What this sweet boy really needs now is someone who will give him a nice bath so he can finally feel comfortable, a little patience while his skin heals and his gorgeous coat grows back, and most importantly, a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. And in return? You will become his whole world. ❤️ Bluey literally just wants someone to love and someone to hang out with. He doesn’t ask for much — just a person to call his own. He truly is a gem, and he deserves to be someone’s very best friend. 🐾💙

Story
**Meet our forever puppy!** ❤️🐾 At 11 years old, this handsome hound mix still has the heart, spirit, and energy of a puppy. Outgoing, goofy, and always ready for fun, he's the life of the foster home. Even though he's one of the oldest of all our senior foster dogs, you'd never know it by the way he keeps everyone playing, smiling, and on their toes! His absolute favorite thing in the world? Other dogs! He thrives with canine friends and would love a home with another playful pup to keep him company. His joyful personality is contagious, and he brings so much happiness wherever he goes. Like many hounds, he's got his own quirky charm and would do best with someone who understands and appreciates the unique personalities of his breed. If you know hounds, you know they're equal parts lovable, stubborn, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. We're honestly shocked this sweet boy is still waiting. He's handsome, full of love, and has so much life left to share—yet he rarely gets applications. We know his perfect person is out there, and when they finally meet him, they'll wonder how they ever lived without him. Could you be the one to give this forever puppy the loving home he's been waiting for?

Story
Here is what the foster has to say! “ We have fostered Santa Flash since he was returned to BTR through no fault of his own. He is ridiculously affectionate to family and to people he knows. He plays hard, and he sleeps harder. He learns quickly and adjusts to new routines (like being on vaction) easily. He is house trained crate trained (see below for details) sleeps through the night dog friendly (see below for details) walks nicely on a leash rides nicely in the car treat motivated We put him in the crate for a few hours during the day, even when we’re home. He was crated while his original adopter worked, and we have continued that routine so he is used to being crated. He also sleeps in his crate at night. He would be fine sleeping in our room, but since we often have the 4 family dogs in our room, he’s in his crate. He definitely sees his crate as a safe space, and often goes there on his own. We have traveled with him, and having his crate with us made it easy for him to adjust to new environments. When we’re not in the home, he is always crated—he will pick up pencils and socks. He likes other dogs, but not all other dogs like him. Of our family dogs, 2 like him a lot, and the other 2 really don’t. When we were on vacation, he was boarded with a trainer, and he got along fine with her dogs. He is shy of strangers, so slow introductions are important. We have a routine when new people come over, which works really well. Sometimes, if a visit is going to be quick or it’s a worker, we just have him go in his crate, and he’s always content there. If you’re looking for a dog to go to brewpubs with and you have lots of company frequently, he’s not the right dog for you. But if you are willing to take things at his pace, he will be very loving with friends. Although he likes children, he startles easily, so he is not a good fit for a home with small kids. He is not a barker most of the time, but he does like to look out the window, and occasionally will bark when people walk by. He will usually bark when people walk up to the house. He’s easy to please—he likes all toys, all dog friendly fruits and vegetables, nylabones, and ice cubes. Flash has so much love to give, and some lucky family is going to be lucky enough to receive it all.”
