Story
1-Year-Old Border Collie Mix | Neutered | Up-to-date on Vaccines Wrigley is a happy, high-energy pup with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! Always ready to greet you with a big smile, he’s never met a person he didn’t adore. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or tug-of-war with a favorite chew toy, Wrigley brings enthusiasm to everything he does. He’s also been doing an amazing job with his training and would thrive in a home that can continue helping him build on that success. He can be a little overzealous when meeting new dogs, but once the ice is broken, he’s the most loyal playmate around. For that reason, Wrigley would do best in a home with a fenced yard and another large, playful dog to romp around with.  If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who’s ready to be your adventure buddy and cuddle partner, Wrigley might just be your perfect match!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2379502##

Lincoln

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos
Barrington Hills, IL

Story
Meet Lincoln....... Lincoln is an adorable young boy, thought to be a Border Collie Mix. Like Border Collies, he’s very smart, a quick learner, very alert and quite energetic!! At age 9 months, he weighs 38 lbs. It is most important to note that we cannot be 100% sure of his adult weight, but our best guess is about 40ish lbs. This handsome boy joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. He is thought to have been born around December 23, 2022. He was a scared little puppy when entering our rescue program but has come out of his shell and has evolved into a playful, sociable, and somewhat mischievous boy. Lincoln is great with dogs outside of his foster home, but can be protective of his home and human, indoors. Most likely Lincoln would prefer being an only dog, receiving all the attention he deserves. However he could to ok with a calm easy-going female. He would probably be far too energetic for a senior (dog or human!) An ideal family for Lincoln is one able to assimilate the energy of a young boy into its lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Lincoln to be his best self! A secure, above-ground fenced yard is important. Lincoln would not thrive as an apartment dweller. Lincoln is crate-trained and is working on good house manners (housebreaking). He is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative. He is neutered and microchipped as well. . For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in the far NW suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to this area.

Story
Meet Sweet Baby. She is an active and intelligent Border Collie mix and weighs 40 lbs. She’s a shy girl at first but once she gets comfortable she is the sweetest most loving girl who just loves attention, especially a good brushing or some petting time. She gives tons of kisses to her foster mom and likes to show off by standing on her hind legs doing a little dance for a treat or two. Zoomies around the yard and going for walks are her thing. She would even love to go on a run or join in on any other outdoor activities. True to her breed she would thrive in an active household with a lot of stimulation. She would be her best self with some training. Another doggie friend to show her the ropes would be amazing, but she would be fine as an only pup as well. She is housebroken, if kept on a routine, walks well on a leash, likes car rides, and to snuggle up after a day of fun.Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Meet Toast! She is great with other dogs and even participates in a doggie day care program. She was teased by children in her prior home so a home without kids would be best for our little Toasty. She's a great little play buddy and will make a loving companion for someone. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Toast would be a good match for you!
