Story
I know first impressions often matter but everything is so new…so I may appear a little shy but quickly warm up. I know everyone here is really nice and they all take great care of us. Going for a walk is just so much fun. Getting my little nose in action to smell everything is so much fun. I’m still not quite sure about the baby pool but when it is very hot, we don’t stay outside too long and then spend time in the A/C. Ready to “chill” with me and got a nice recliner or couch, then I want to meet you!

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.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2576154##

Story
Agnes is a sweet 7-year-old girl who is ready to find a family to spend her golden years with. She is an absolute sweetheart and so far has gotten along wonderfully with everyone and all of the dogs she has met! Agnes loves going for walks and is great on a leash. Right now, she is carrying a little extra weight, which means she gets tired a bit more easily. We have her on a special diet to help her safely reach a healthy weight, and as those extra pounds come off, we know she’ll be able to enjoy her walks even more! This girl is happiest simply being around her people. She loves lounging on the couch, taking cozy naps, and enjoying all the little things in life. She isn’t particularly interested in toys or playing, but she has plenty of love to give. Agnes does great with her potty routine, peeing outside and also using potty pads inside sometimes as she adjusts to her new schedule. She is still getting settled in and will benefit from a family who understands that it may take a little time for her routine to become completely consistent. Agnes would love a home with people who are willing to put in the time to help her reach a healthy weight, continue her walks, and give her all the love and comfort she deserves. She doesn’t need a busy or exciting life—just a soft couch, a nice walk, some good company, and a family to love. If you’re looking for a sweet senior girl who knows how to appreciate the simple things in life, Agnes may be the perfect girl for you!   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
If you’re looking for a laid-back, low-maintenance companion, Russ is your guy. This sweet senior knows exactly what he likes in life: a soft blanket, a comfy bed, and a human to relax beside. Give him a cozy spot and he’s in absolute heaven. Russ can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate side shines through. He loves gentle scratches (especially all over!) and will happily curl up next to you on the couch for a quiet night in. Don’t expect a toy enthusiast—Russ would much rather binge-watch your favorite shows with you than chase a ball. This treat-loving gentleman has a soft spot for blueberries, cheese, peanut butter, and pretty much any snack you’re willing to share. One of his cutest habits? He’ll rub his head into your hand to politely request more pets—it’s his way of saying “don’t stop!” Russ values his comfort and isn’t a fan of being moved once he’s settled in. He’ll let you know when something isn’t his preference, so he’s looking for an experienced dog owner who understands canine body language and will respect his boundaries. In return, you’ll get a loyal, calm companion who just wants to be near you. He would do well with men, women, and older children who understand his need for space. Russ isn’t very active and is perfectly content lounging the day away. Whether you work from home or head out during the day, he handles alone time well and will be ready to greet you with quiet sweetness when you return. At 10 years old, Russ is ready to enjoy the good life—filled with comfort, love, and plenty of snacks. If you’ve got a cozy spot and a gentle heart, Russ might just be your perfect match   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2716728##

Story
I got offered the opportunity to own a Xolo dog by my brothers uncle while i was visiting in mexico. It was towards the end of my trip and I got put in a position where I had to take him. I couldn’t be at peace knowing that if i left him in mexico he would be suffering a lot so i ended up taking him. I’ve only had him for about 3 months now and with my busy schedule he isn’t getting the attention he deserves. I’m also moving soon as well and I won’t be able to take him. I’m scared to give him away to someone that won’t take care of him the way he needs. My biggest fear would be him going to a bad owner.
