Story
Meet Raven — the senior Boxer mix with a heart as big as her gentle soul. Life hasn’t been the kindest, as she was found abandoned at an intersection, but she’s ready to find a soft, loving place to call her own. Raven is a shy lady at first, needing a little time to feel safe, but once she warms up, she shows her sweet, playful side. She loves people, enjoys exploring, and still has plenty of energy for walks and outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for a tender, goofy companion who’s equal parts snuggler and explorer, Raven is your girl.Dogs: No thank you! I find them annoying. Cats: UnknownKids: Older, respectful kids. Younger kids may be too much for me.

Story
Meet Brutus 💙 Brutus is 5-6 years old and is a deeply affectionate, people-loving boy who thrives on closeness with his humans. He loves cuddling, being petted, and will happily sleep next to you at night. Wherever you go, Brutus is likely to follow — often carrying his favorite soothing toy in his mouth for comfort. He is good with other dogs. Brutus knows basic commands and is fully housebroken, which makes settling into a new home much easier. He enjoys playtime, especially tug-of-war, and he takes his toy destruction job very seriously (squeaker toys beware!). He walks well on leash and does best wearing a harness, ideally a front-clip harness. He may pull a little and can bark when he sees people out on walks, but he recovers quickly and continues on. This behavior appears to be excitement or uncertainty rather than aggression, and with consistency, patience, and positive training, it continues to improve. Brutus is not a fan of being confined away from his people. He will voluntarily rest in his crate when it’s open and his human is nearby, but being crated while left alone is stressful for him. He would do best in a home that understands this and is willing to help him gradually build confidence with alone time. With stability, routine, and love, Brutus truly shines. He is a cuddly, loyal companion who bonds deeply and brings a lot of joy to those around him. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will help him continue to grow into the amazing dog he already is. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Lexa walked through our door about three months ago. She was fixed at SPCA in July of 2025. We think she's about 1-2 years old. Lexa got along with the rest of the pack right away. The neighborhood kids and my grandson love her. She tends to nip when she's excited and jump. Lexa is house broken. She will let you know when it's time for a walk, if you're home. Lexa does walk on a leash and pulls a lot. Lexa really loves to snuggle! Anywhere and anytime. She seems to have had some training. She knows hand signals well and also listens to verbal commands.

Roman: The Big Lug Looking for a Soft Place to Land Hi. I am Roman. I am a 65 pound Boxer mix with the kind of face that makes people smile even before I do anything. I am a big soft lug who wants a porch, a sofa, and a human who likes slow pats on the head. My energy is just right. I can hang out, go for a walk, sniff around the yard, then come inside and settle next to you. I walk well on a leash. I do not make things hard. I like being easy. I dont want any ruckus. I get along with male and female dogs. I am a gentleman until someone tries to boss me around. I do not start trouble, but I also do not let pushy dogs run the show. I usually get along best with female dogs. Having said that, I have a rescue buddy (male) here and we do great together. We move at the same pace. We enjoy the same simple things. So I guess, like you humans, it's if our personalities get along! People say I am the kind of dog who makes life feel calmer. I am not loud. I am not clingy. I am just present. Sit with me for two minutes and you will get it. I am the dog who leans into your leg and lets out a long breath. I make the world feel lighter. If you want a sweet older boy who loves porch time, couch time, and just being near you, I am your guy. I am ready for my home. Apply to foster or adopt me and let’s make some quiet, good memories together. A generous donor heard of Roman's story and has offered to help sponsor Roman's adoption fee. We are thrilled to announce that if you adopt Roman, your adoption fee is reduced to $250. Adorable Roman is ready for a loving home! Apply today. ##2537421##

Story
Meet Spoon. He’s a 2 year old boxer pit mix. I adopted him a year ago. He is truly the sweetest boy, and a big cuddle bug. He loves people with a passion. He’s always is up for an adventure, a run, or just playing with his favorite ball. Spoon has idiopathic head tremor syndrome. Which means when he gets anxious his head shakes, is on meds for his anxiety, and they have stopped his shakes. Unfortunately spoon is reactive to dogs, cats, and sometimes kids. Due to the fact that he is so excited and can’t calm himself down. I need to rehome him because I have a new job that has me at work more often than home. It is unfair to diminish his quality of life by keeping him at home. He truly is the best dog when he is on his own. He’s looking for a home where he can be the star of the show!

Story
Kane is a handsome, playful boy with a big heart for the people he trusts. He absolutely adores spending time with his person whether that means tossing a toy around, going for a walk, or simply curling up nearby for a well earned nap. Kane has received professional training and knows his basic manners. He thrives with structure, consistency, and a confident handler who can continue reinforcing the skills he’s learned. Because of his history, Kane will need a very specific home environment where he can feel secure and succeed. Kane must be the only pet in the home and would do best living with a single adult male with no children. He has shown aggression toward women in the past, so his adopter will need to be mindful of this and provide a calm, controlled environment where Kane does not interact with female visitors. If you’re an experienced, patient dog owner looking for a dog who will truly be your dog, Kane may be the perfect match.
