Story
Magoo is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Scroll through his pictures to see all of his cute videos! Magoo is a curious, playful pup who is learning that the world is a pretty wonderful place—and he’s getting a little braver every day! This handsome guy can be shy and nervous, especially when he’s somewhere unfamiliar. We can't blame him-- from the time he was just a few weeks old until this past summer, he grew up on the grounds of a rural rescue and sanctuary in Arkansas. Magoo was a beloved presence at the rescue down there, certainly by the many dogs he lived amongst, and the small group of staff and volunteers. But they wanted a better life for Magoo, so he made the long trip up north. Adjusting to his foster home just outside of Chicago took him a minute! Thankfully, his wonderful foster mom and her dog were there to show him the ropes. Magoo spent a couple of months in his foster home until work travel and other commitments picked up. Now he is ready for a bigger audience, and we felt it was time for him to try his luck onsite at our shelter! Magoo is often happiest hanging back and observing the action from a safe spot before deciding he’s ready to join in. Anyone who meets him will need to give him a little time to warm up. But you’ll soon discover a cuddly sweetheart who loves curling up on the sofa for movie time. And when his puppy energy kicks in? Look out! Magoo’s zoomies have been known to involve rearranging his entire toy collection. 😂 Magoo takes a lot of confidence from the resident dog in his foster home and had been doing wonderfully with his canine companion. He will need another dog in his forever home—a friendly, confident dog who can help show him the ropes and remind him that new things aren't so scary. Outside and on leash, Magoo can still be quite nervous, so his forever family should be prepared to patiently help him build confidence. He does best with a consistent routine and would benefit from access to a quiet, low-traffic area for potty breaks, as he can be hesitant to potty while out on walks. He's been doing well with housebreaking in his foster home when given that structure. Magoo has done very well crated or left to free-roam for a full workday. He had accidents in his foster home at first, but not after quickly getting the routine down. Magoo isn't looking for someone to rush him into being brave. He's looking for someone who will let him take the time he needs, celebrate every little victory, and give him the security of a canine friend by his side. In return, you're going to get to watch a pretty special transformation—from the shy pup sitting quietly in the corner to the silly, cuddly, zoomie-loving dog we know him as. Magoo's adoption fee is $300. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Auburn is a sweet young adult Boxer mix who is the perfect blend of independent and affectionate. Want a dog who can happily do her own thing? Auburn’s got you covered. Want a 50-pound lap dog who thinks she belongs in your arms? She’s happy to oblige! Auburn is fully house trained and can comfortably go 6+ hours before needing a potty break. She’s also an absolute dream on leash—you can walk her with just one finger on the leash! Talk about easy! She’s a wonderful, low-maintenance companion for someone looking for a dog who fits easily into everyday life. Auburn would ideally be happiest as the only dog in the home, although she has done well with dogs smaller than her. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing girl who can be both your independent sidekick and your personal cuddle buddy, Auburn may be your girl!

Story
Zeus is a 7 year old American Pit Bull mix My dad got him for my older sister and me, though later on I was given the responsibility to care for him. He’s the most playful boy, he loves people, other dogs, kids He’s not violent nor has ever bit anyone. He’s up to date on his rabies vaccine He’s an anxious dog, very hyperactive. He has a CCL tear along with Arthritis in his right hind leg. I recently moved and my landlord doesn’t want Zeus here, neither does my family. I’m looking for an experienced dog owner who has the patience and room in their home to take in a dog like Zeus. Please give Zeus a chance at a better life, since I can’t provide that for him 🙏

Story
Coal is a 6-year-old Pit Bull mix with the energy of burning charcoal, always fired up for play and adventure. He`s an avid frisbee enthusiast and carries his favorite red disc with him everywhere he goes. He loves going on long walks and playing fetch at the park or getting a drink at the water fountain. When he`s not chasing frisbees or going for walks, Coal loves to relax in the sun. He`ll often be found sunbathing in the yard, soaking up the rays.While Coal loves to play and run, he also knows how to relax. He`s a gentle giant who loves to snuggle on the couch. He makes for a great heater when these fall days start to get chilly! He`s been great with other dogs, including the resident senior male pit mix and a young female basset hound. He`s especially fond of playing tug-of-war and chase with his foster sister.This handsome boy is eager to please and has mastered a variety of commands and tricks, including sit, down, heel, off, paw, place, settle, and speak, especially when there`s peanut butter involved. He`s also crate trained and enjoys his nightly wind-downs in his cozy crate.Coal is a people-pleaser, but his enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of him. We think he`d do best with older kids who can handle his playful energy. He`s looking for an active family who can provide him with plenty of exercise and love.Interested in adopting this dog?
