Story
Meet this sweet senior Chihuahua mix! This lovable little guy is looking for a patient, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. He may be a bit shy at first, but once he trusts you, he's an affectionate cuddle bug who loves belly rubs, pets, treats, and relaxing by your side. He enjoys walks and is happiest when he's close to his favorite person. He can be vocal if left alone or crated in a separate room, so he'd do best with someone who is home often and doesn't mind having a loyal little shadow. He can live with calm, respectful dogs that will give him space, but he isn't a fan of dogs that are overly playful or pushy. Because he guards his food and treats, he'll need an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children who understand and respect his boundaries. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will reward your patience with endless love and snuggles, this sweet boy may be the perfect addition to your family. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $150. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Hi there. My name is Rosie I. am a 2-year-old Lab/Pug/Chihuahua mix. I weigh 25 pounds. I am very timid and shy. I may take days to get used to new surroundings and people. I love my comfort duck toy and will run around with it. I get along with dogs. I am learning to play with my foster pack and with my foster parents. I like laying at your feet once I get comfortable around you. I have not been around cats. I do not like crates. At night, I sleep on a dog bed so I can watch my foster family. I am working on my house-training. I am not good on a leash, so I would prefer a fenced in yard, so I can run. I know sit. I love chicken treats. I like people, but you need to have lots of patience with me till I am comfortable. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Meet Peanut – Your future sidekick! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling every day, Peanut might just be your perfect match. This cutie’s estimated birthday is 9.24.2023. This active, playful pup absolutely loves being around his people. He’ll happily trot over for pets, lean in for cuddles, and soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. One of his cutest quirks? If you pick him up and gently pet his head, he’ll drift right off to sleep—an instant heart-melter. Peanut is potty trained and does well with both men and women. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to romp around with. He doesn’t seem to mind cats, either. He’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s going on walks or chasing after his favorite ball. As a higher-energy pup, Peanut will thrive with an adopter who is committed to continuing his training and keeping him active and engaged. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you do and can sometimes be a little vocal or have trouble being alone, so he’ll do best in a home where he gets plenty of attention, interaction, and structure. If Peanut had a job, he’d be your enthusiastic assistant—always by your side, ready to “help” with whatever the day brings (or at least supervise it!). Peanut’s ideal home would include an active household with other playful dogs. He’s sweet, silly, and full of love—just waiting for the right person to make him part of their life. Ready to meet Peanut?

Thank you! <3]

Story
Meet Scout, an adorable 4-year-old, 20lb Terrier/Chi/Cattle Dog type mix. He is a sweet boy who loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows sit and paw and will happily offer those commands whenever you would like, sometimes even when you are not asking for them. Scout has lots of energy and is working on leash manners. Because of his dog reactivity, he will need some work on walks. A fenced yard would be great for him. He does love to run around and sniff in the grass. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. He is looking for a home with no children or other pets.

Story
Meet Chewy, a 3-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing about 13 pounds. He was found as a stray and never reclaimed, so now he is looking for a forever home! Chewy is very nervous and was mortified when he first came to us. He has made tremendous strides, though, and now enjoys pets and hanging out with his people. Chewy will need patience as he adjusts and gets to know you and starts to trust. Fast movements can spook him, but we have made lots of progress as far as leashing/unleashing and petting. He loves to go outside with his people to run around, sniff, and play with squeaky plush toys. He does chase the toys when thrown, but he likes to hold them instead of bringing them back. Chewy has met a few similar sized dogs and done okay. He does tend to match the energy of the other dogs, so if the other dog isn’t a fan, neither is Chewy. He has run around outside in a run next to one of our medium dogs and seemed to get excited when she got the zoomies. We are hoping with time and patience in a home, he will blossom! Chewy is looking for a home without children. It would be beneficial for an adopter to have experience with nervous dogs or finicky chihuahuas.Chewy has some allergies that were causing him to have a lot of skin irritation and upset stomach. He is now on a fish-based diet (Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach- Salmon and Rice) as well as Apoquel, once daily, which helped tremendously. He will need to be on this long term.
