Story
Meet Alf! This 9-month-old Boxer mix is named after the lovable TV alien, but these days he’s much less “lost in space” and much more “life of the party.” Currently weighing around 46 pounds, Alf is growing into a happy, confident, and incredibly lovable companion. When Alf first arrived at a local animal shelter, the world felt overwhelming and he wasn’t quite sure how to navigate it. Fast forward to foster life, and this boy has blossomed in the best way. With patience, love, and a cozy home to learn in, Alf has discovered that life is actually pretty great, and he’s embracing it with full-body tail wags and a joyful spirit. Alf is almost fully house trained and does well in his crate, settling in nicely after a brief protest. He sleeps comfortably crated in another room and has proven to be a great mix of playful and relaxed. He enjoys everything from zooming around the yard and playing with toys to lounging in the house and soaking up attention from his people. This social butterfly truly doesn’t know a stranger. Alf is friendly with men, women, children, and dogs of all sizes, and he’s even good with cats. He’s been around kids as young as 3 years old and does wonderfully, though like many young pups, he can get a little excited and is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor when saying hello. Alf loves playing with his dog friends, whether it’s a game of chase or a snuggle break after. He’s respectful of dogs who prefer a calmer vibe and adjusts his play style accordingly. He also enjoys walks and does well on leash, though he may pause mid-walk in hopes of making a new friend because in Alf’s world, everyone is a potential best buddy. At the end of the day, Alf is the definition of a “happy dog.” He’ll greet you with his whole body wagging, follow you around like your biggest fan, and happily curl up on the couch for some quality cuddle time. Alf would do well in just about any home ready for a fun, affectionate, and social young dog. He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to his forever family. His adoption fee is $250 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Meet Gigi.She’s a sweet, loyal dog who bonds closely with her person and loves being around people. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up into a very affectionate and friendly companion.Gigi is smart and knows basic commands like sit and stay, especially with a little motivation. She does best with a consistent routine and would thrive in a home where she can get more time and attention.She is house trained with regular potty breaks and does best in a home where someone is around more often to keep that routine consistent. She’s never bitten, but does best being given space during meals. As most dogs do.Gigi would make a great fit for someone looking for a loving dog they can continue to grow with. If you think you might be a good match, reach out.

Story
Rory is a beautiful bully-breed mix with a soft white coat decorated in brindle spots. She’s got a gentle heart, a playful spirit, and so much love to give—once she feels safe and comfortable. Due to an unfortunate past, Rory has come a long way in learning to trust new people, especially men. Because of that, she’ll need a few meet-and-greets to warm up, but her affectionate and silly side shines bright once she knows you. She becomes a sweet, loyal companion who loves to play and soak up your love. Rory would thrive in a calm, cat-free home without young children. She’ll do best with experienced pet owners who can continue helping her build confidence and feel secure. With patience and kindness, Rory will show you just how incredible she truly is. This special girl is looking for a family who sees her for who she can be and is willing to give her the time and love she deserves. Could that be you? Rory is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines!
