Story
Sweet, itty-bitty Zuma came to us skinny, quivering, and lost. We scooped her up to give her a new chance at life! Now that she is gaining weight and confidence, we love seeing her personality start to shine through! She loves being around the other dogs, getting treats of any kind, and gentle pets. She is still working on being a brave lady and has started to slowly adjust to leash walking. Zuma will need someone with lots of patience and love.Zuma is a known runner due to her scared nature. She will require an experienced owner with a full fenced yard. It is also best that she join a household that has an existing dog as she bonds well with other dogs. She will require multiple meet and greets and home visits are part of her adoption as well.

Meet Junior, our small chi/terrier mix weighing in at just 12lbs. He's got the cutest, biggest ears. Junior came to us from local animal control and is looking for a forever home now! He seems to enjoy the company of other dogs his size, though we haven't introduced him into any larger dogs. He's very sweet and enjoys walks. He would make a great companion for someone!

Story
Starlily lost her humans after spending 11 years with them. She is spry for her age and looking for a new home to spend her seniors years. Due to her age, she is a bit cranky and needs to be the only dog in the home and to be able to do her own thing. She does not appreciate being picked up or touched unless she is seeking attention on her terms. Who can open their home to this special girl and let her live her life as she needs to?November 26, 2023, 12:15 am

Story
Meet Wilson, the charming 1-year-old, 9-pound Chihuahua mix with a heart as big as his personality. Wilson is the quintessential lap dog, and his favorite place to snooze is right by your side or nestled under a cozy blanket. While he enjoys the serenity of cuddles, he's not just a couch potato – Wilson loves playing with toys and exploring the house. In his foster home, Wilson has shown a remarkable transformation from a shy and timid pup to a confident, happy companion. Although he may take a bit of time to warm up to new faces, his friendliness knows no bounds once he feels at ease. Wilson is especially fond of other dogs and relishes in playful moments with his furry friends. This little guy has a penchant for following his person around, making him the ideal companion for someone seeking unconditional loyalty. Wilson is well-behaved in the yard, but he does need a fenced space to roam freely. Given his initial shyness, a home with older children who understand the importance of giving him space. Wilson is not just a lap dog; he's a bundle of joy waiting to bring love and laughter to his forever home. With his adorable antics and sweet demeanor, Wilson is ready to become the heartwarming addition to a loving family. Could you be the one to make his dreams of a forever home come true? His minimum adoption fee is $295 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.

Story
He's just a baby. This poor boy arrived covered in fleas and ticks. Chase is a year-old, long-haired Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. He's 7.5-pounds currently, but he could gain a few ounces. He has been "deloused, and is surely already feeling better. No more creepy crawlies making him itch incessantly. This little guy likes to go in a crate for his "den but doesn't want anyone to reach in to get him out. It's kind of scary for him. However, once you pick him up he's butter in your hands. Chase rides well in a car, and seems to understand a leash. He also is getting along with other small dogs. We think small children would not be a good fit for Chase. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $345. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. We are located in Bloomington, IL We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state. Your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed/neutered, and on heart worm prevention year round. You must be at least 21-years-old to adopt. Please have your veterinarian and two non-family reference phone numbers ready. The app makes you start all over if you leave the page to look up numbers.
