Story
Meet Fresno, a spunky little guy with a soft side waiting to shine! Fresno is about 3 years old and full of personality. He is crate trained and currently working on potty training (cold weather is definitely not his favorite!). Fresno is a sensitive soul who can be anxious and nervous in new situations and is slow to warm up, which may sometimes come across as being a bit nippy when he’s unsure. Because of this, Fresno will need a child-free home with someone who has prior dog experience and understands how to work patiently with dogs who need time, structure, and reassurance. With consistency, gentle guidance, and continued confidence-building, Fresno has great potential to grow into a more secure and trusting companion. Once Fresno feels safe and bonded, his sweet side comes out—he enjoys relaxing and napping with his people and truly values quiet companionship. He would do best in a calm, predictable home where his boundaries are respected and his progress is celebrated. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a dog who will form a deep bond and reward your efforts with trust and affection, Fresno could be the perfect fit.

Story
Reed has made wonderful progress since arriving at Reach Rescue. His foster family continues to fall more in love with him every day—they describe him as incredibly cuddly, and just the right amount of attention-seeking in the sweetest way. Reed still adores all the simple things: treats, belly rubs, and plenty of snuggles. If you’re sitting down, you can count on Reed being right there beside you, happily soaking up all the love. After being rescued from a hoarding situation in southern Illinois, potty training was “ruff” at first but he is now fully trained on potty pads and becoming more comfortable with going potty outside! Reed absolutely loves other dogs and truly thrives with a canine companion by his side. He especially enjoys having a dog buddy to cuddle with and would do best in a home with another friendly dog where he can feel safe and supported. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Don’t let the name fool you—this little guy has a huge heart. Stuart Little is a young pup with an incredibly calm and gentle spirit. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people, soaking up all the love he can get. Stuart is sweet, happy, and friendly with everyone he meets, though he can be a bit timid at times as he continues to build his confidence. His favorite things? Being held, getting belly rubs, and enjoying short, leisurely walks by your side. While he’s still learning what toys are all about, Stuart is perfectly content just snuggling up and spending quiet time with his humans. He came into rescue underweight, so he’s currently on a routine of three meals a day to help him get back to a healthy, happy place—and he’s doing great! If you’re looking for a loving, low-key companion who will happily be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Stuart Little might just be a great match. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Shortbread is a gentle, sensitive soul who is still learning that the world—and humans—can be safe and kind. She is very shy and nervous around people, especially with loud noises or sudden movements, but with time and patience she is slowly beginning to come out of her shell. Where Shortbread truly shines is with other dogs. They are her comfort and confidence, and having canine friends helps her feel secure. She’s starting to show her playful side and loves treats, toys, and spending time with her dog buddies. Shortbread would thrive in a calm, low-energy home with other dogs and very patient, compassionate humans who understand that trust takes time. A quiet environment without children would be best for her, allowing her to build confidence at her own pace. With the right home, Shortbread has so much potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion—you just have to be willing to go slow and let her lead the way.
