Story
Bada’s journey is one of resilience, joy, and second chances. This lovable pup came all the way from Korea, where he arrived to our partner rescue with a fractured front leg. Unfortunately, the injury became infected due to the extreme heat and humidity, but they knew we couldn’t leave him behind. After rescuing him, it was discovered that his bone had healed improperly, and Bada needed surgery to correct it. Now, after a successful recovery, Bada is living it up in Illinois as a happy, healthy dog who’s ready to leap, run, and enjoy life to the fullest! Bada has a bright, outgoing personality and is full of energy. He’s not shy about anything—he’s all about making new friends and jumping right into playtime! Whether it's chasing after a ball or running around with a fellow dog, Bada is always up for some fun. His exuberance and excitement are contagious! This sweet boy has a friendly nature that makes him warm up quickly to people. Bada is best suited for a home with energetic and playful dogs who can match his playful pace, as he can be a bit too much for more laid-back pups. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, joyful dog who’s ready to shower you with affection and never stops running with joy, Bada is your guy! His past may have been tough, but he’s ready to move forward with a loving family who can match his energy and give him the forever home he deserves. Ready to welcome Bada into your home? He flew across the world just for you! Hear what Bada's foster has had to say about him! "Bada seldom barks. He appears to be completely housebroken. There are have been no toileting accidents. He is a very calm spirit and seems perfectly happy just laying at your feet while you are working. He has interacted quite well on two play dates and was observed to initiate play with a somewhat smaller dog. Treats have been inadvertently left in accessible places and he has not bothered them. Leash manners need some work but was better with a no pull harness."

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 $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
"She ran calling "WILD.....FIRE"!! That is a haunting song.... I promise, though..I am not a HAUNTER!! But I may love to run around and around and AROUND :) I am a puppy! I am so sweet and cuddly, when i finish running around ;) I have plenty of energy so you HAVE to be ready to burn it off with mental and physical exercise. I am SMART too! Teach me who you want me to be and I will learn! I was found with 4 siblings living (dumped) at the Home Depot...but it was a LUCKY BREAK, cause we were seen by the husband of a rescuer and we got SAVED! Now I am in my foster home and learning the "ropes" ;) Potty training is getting better every day, I mean our foster mom takes us out often for potty control and I am really working hard to wait for the next jaunt outside! I also am crate training too! I don't like to pee or poop where I sleep- as long as I don't eat right before bed and go outside as soon as I wake up I am doing great!! I seriously am ready for my family, I LOVE to play and am great with all dogs big, small, old or babies. AND i have one half BLUE EYE!! The better to see you with, my new family! :) ADOPT ME SOON!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Oreo Cookies are da BEST cookies ever! And i are one of them :D So you now know all about me ;) Except the creamy center, which may explain why i am in a rescue looking for a furever home.. It isn't my fault ;( I mean, picture this..... there i was, minding my own business... and my mom and dad sit me down to tell me that they are getting a divorce :( And my mom, brother and I will be homeless soon :( :( what do you do??? I was lucky enough to find a rescue that was able to help me be safe and loved. (my mom and brother found a safe place too) So here i am at the rescue, just waiting to be discovered by my real forever family and I have some things to tell you about me.... I am cute, a little chunky and a little silly at times. But i am SERIOUSLY looking for that home. So if you like a chonky diva, I am yours!!! Adopt me and give me the home i deserve ;) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Splash is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos! We are so happy that Splash is a Heartland dog, because her story could have turned out very differently. A friend of our rescue, who is also the owner of Doggie Do Rite daycare and boarding in Northbrook, was scrolling online one evening back in April when she saw a post where someone was selling Splash for $200. The comments had her fearing for this poor dog's safety, so she contacted the seller and arranged to "buy" Splash herself, to save her from an uncertain fate. Splash had never seen a vet, so she had no vaccine history, no chip, was not spayed, etc. Vetting a pup can cost hundreds of dollars at a private clinic, so we were happy to take Splash in to our program and see to her medical vetting while she was fostered at Doggie Do Rite. Splash is still a puppy, and a super smart one at that. (Have you scrolled to watch her video where she is training? She picked all of that up in less than one week!). Splash is highly food and treat motivated, and she will need an adopter committed to exercising not just her body but her brain, too! She is a cattle dog through and through. Cattle dogs were bred to herd, using their mouths, and Splash may use hers to herd her people! She needs to work on not expressing her excitement with her mouth, and impulse control, so we do feel she needs an adopter with some degree of familiarity with the breed or these particular traits. Splash may still have an accident from time to time, but she knows to go potty outside. However, she is not used to going potty while on a leash yet so needs a secured area where she can relieve herself off-leash while she learns. She is crate trained, and after she is well-exercised both physically and mentally, so she settles easily in her crate with a frozen Kong and keeps to herself or naps. Splash also loves other dogs, and is a dainty player with dogs! If adopting Splash sounds like the perfect way to "cannonball" into summer, please come in and inquire about her! Splash’s adoption fee is $450. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative. The adopter of this special dog is entitled to a training scholarship worth $250. We are not able to pay this upfront; rather, once you have attended classes or had in-home or virtual training sessions, you can send us an invoice or receipt and we will reimburse you via check up to $250. Please note: the trainer must be a positive reinforcement trainer!

Story
Alpha and Omega are at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet them during open hours! Scroll through each of their pictures to see their cute videos! Alpha and Omega have been here before. Back in 2022, they were young pups (then known as Zach and Cody!) who spent a few weeks at our shelter. Our staff loved them then, just as we do now! These boys were adopted into a nice home together, but sadly their adopter passed away suddenly and recently, and Alpha and Omega were left without a home. They wound up with Northbrook Animal Control, who thankfully traced their microchips back to us, and reached out. As you can see from their videos, the boys have adjusted very well to their new reality. They are a testament to the resilience of dogs! We are sure the transition has been easier because they have each other, just as they always have. Though littermates can have their share of issues when kept together for so long (you may have heard of "Littermate Syndrome"), these two are *such* well-adjusted and happy pups! While some bonded pairs of dogs can have an "us vs the world" mentality, these two are happy to socialize with all of the dogs and vacillate between co-existing and throwing play bows during play group, which is just so adorable to see! And of course, Alpha and Omega each have their own unique personalities! While we were not initially fans of these names (and some of us still call them Zach and Cody!), we can see why their adopter named them as such: Alpha is bigger in size and is the more independent and serious of the two, while Omega has that "I'm just happy to be here" energy and is always wagging, wiggling, joyful and smiling! Alpha doesn't beg for attention but he likes to come right beside you and present his hind quarters for scratching, which is his favorite thing! Omega has the fluffy, wavy coat of an un-sheared sheep and he loves pets and full body scratches! There are SO many great things about these two in particular, and about dogs their age in general! Alpha and Omega have been living in a home the last few years and that shows, by which we mean they are housebroken, not destructive, social, polite, well-mannered, and overall so easy-peasy! They were so good for their baths, nail trims, and vet exams. Best of all, these two walk GREAT on a leash together. Walking both of these boys is way easier than walking one of some our other dogs, ha. We love that they still have some playfulness, too. Not just with the other dogs, but with each other and especially with their stuffies! They love a new stuffy, and get so excited when we toss them a new one. They never rip them up, just carry them around and put them in their beds. We know that getting one larger dog adopted is a challenge these days, let alone two. And while we are not sure that they are totally bonded, meaning neither of them will panic if the other is out of sight, we feel we owe it to them for now to try to keep them together. We hope that someone is out there and willing to take on two amazing pups who are going to ease into their new lives so seamlessly. ***We are open to a foster or a foster to adopt arrangement for these boys! Anything to get them back in a home where they belong! Their adoption fee is $300. They are neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
