Story
Tilly is mesmerizing with her icy blue eyes. This beautiful girl is 2 years old and 50 pounds. She is very smart. She would be great learning one of the many dog sports. She will make someone a great companion and she consistently "checks in" with her foster mom to see if anything is expected of her.  Tilly would thrive with an adopter who is "hands on". She is 1/3 border collie but also has small amounts of siberian husky/saint bernard/boxer/labrador retriever per her DNA results. A quiet home without small children would be ideal for her. Tilly is dog selective and it is unknown how she is with cats. She is crate and potty trained. Tilly is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is only $300.00. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1880121##

Story
Meet Marilyn 💕 Marilyn is a young, Border Collie mix with a beautiful black and white coat and an even more beautiful heart. After the passing of her beloved owner, Marilyn found herself in need of a fresh start. She’s currently being fostered and is ready to find a forever home filled with love and patience. Marilyn can be a little shy at first, but give her some time and you’ll discover just how incredibly sweet and affectionate she truly is. Once she warms up, she’s all heart — gentle, loving, and eager to bond with her people. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and she handled her vet visit with patience and affection. Because she can be timid initially, she would do best with a calm, understanding adopter who will let her adjust at her own pace. Kids are unknown at this time. She may need continued support with house training. Marilyn was born in November 2024, is spayed, and ready to start her next chapter. If you have a soft spot for shy, sensitive souls who blossom with love, Marilyn might just be your perfect match. Could you be the one to give Marilyn the safe, loving home she deserves? 🐾

Story
All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above. After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL: Park in the PetSmart (1606 E. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe: Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!

Meet Tana🐾Tana is a 1.5 year old sweetheart with so much love to give! She gets along wonderfully with other animals, people, and even kids.

Whether it’s snuggling on the couch or giving out endless hugs and kisses, Tana is happiest when she’s by your side.Tana is crate trained, although a bit dramatic about it at times😂, loves wearing her cute sweaters and shirts, and is very food motivated. She already knows sit, shake, and even responds to a stop cue when she gets a little too excited!She’s truly a big baby at heart who just wants to be loved— and she deserves a home to give her all the cuddles, patience, and care she has to offer in return!If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Tana might just be your perfect match!💕

Alice is thought to be a dutch shepherd/cattle dog mix but that is just a guess. She is 2 years old and 70 pounds. Alice is a quiet girl who is content to lay on the couch with you and chew on a bone. She does have short bouts of play. She is shy around new people and will try to hide her head. Alice is good with most dogs with slow introductions, has not been around cats. She is good on a leash, likes her crate, and potties quickly when taken outside.  Her adoption fee of $300 covers her spay, microchip with registration, vaccines, and current monthly flea and heartworm preventions.  Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply ##2596386##
