Bullboxer Pit puppies and dogs in Normal, Illinois

Meet Atlas, a handsome Pittie mix puppy with an estimated date of birth of 4/9/26 who's ready to grow up with a family of his very own! Weighing about 18 pounds, Atlas is everything you'd expect from a young puppy: playful, curious, affectionate, and powered by equal parts zoomies and naps. Atlas loves to play, loves to snuggle, and when he's finally worn himself out, he's happy to curl up for a well-earned puppy snooze. He's making great progress with potty training and is already learning that good manners go a long way. Like any young pup, he'll need continued guidance as he grows, but he's eager to learn with patient, positive reinforcement. One thing Atlas would really benefit from is having a well-mannered canine role model in his forever home. A playful adult dog who knows when it's time to wrestle and when it's time to settle would be the perfect teacher. Left to his own devices, Atlas would happily keep the fun going all day, so having a dog who can gently say, "Recess is over," will help him continue learning appropriate boundaries. His foster mom has set him up for success by giving him his own gated puppy space, and Atlas has done wonderfully with it. He sleeps through the night without whining and hasn't had any nighttime accidents, proving he's already building some great habits. Atlas is looking for a cat-free home where he can focus on being the best puppy he can be. If you're looking for a sweet, silly puppy to raise, train, and make unforgettable memories with, Atlas is ready to be your loyal sidekick. With consistency, love, and plenty of playtime, this little adventurer is sure to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. His minimum adoption fee is $325 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.

Cece is an 2 year old mixed breed who weighs about 35 pounds. Beneath her initial shyness lies a sweet, playful, and loyal companion who just needs a little time to feel safe. Cece is nervous in new situations and takes longer to warm up to men, but once she trusts you, her loving nature shines through. She craves companionship and will follow her favorite people around the house, happily curling up in your lap or entertaining herself with toys. Cece loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine friend to help her build confidence, though she may need some time to adjust to new doggy pals. Cece enjoys running around in the yard, playing with toys, and getting the zoomies once she feels at home. While she hasn’t started leash walks yet due to her fearfulness, she’ll likely benefit from long walks and other forms of exercise to meet her energy needs. Cece needs a quiet, experienced home with a fenced yard to ensure her safety, as she is prone to running when scared. While her interactions with kids have been few, we believe she could adapt to a home with calm, patient children. With time, love, and understanding, Cece will blossom into a devoted and affectionate member of your family. Cece's adoption fee has been sponsored.  There is a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Chili Dog is a 7½-year-old Boxer mix with a gentle heart and plenty of love to give. For the past five years, he was a devoted companion to his owner and enjoyed the comforts of home life. Now, he's looking for a new family to share his loyalty, affection, and companionship with. At 67 pounds, Chili Dog is a big boy with an even bigger heart. He's more of a laid-back, low-key guy than a social butterfly, so busy adoption events just aren't his scene. The crowds, noise, and activity can be overwhelming for him, which means he stays behind at the shelter and misses out on meeting many potential adopters. Given a quieter environment and a little time to settle in, Chili Dog's sweet personality really shines. Chili Dog would love a home where he can relax, enjoy the simple things in life, and be someone's loyal companion again. If you're looking for a steady friend to share your days with, Chili Dog may be the perfect match.
