Story
Ginger is the most beautiful, red girl! She is well socialized and absolutely loves anyone that will give her attention! She gets along with both puppies, big dogs and cats but she needs playmates that will be ok with some rough and tough play! She means no harm but we should've named this girl Rhonda Rousey as much as she likes to wrestle! She follows us around all over the shelter and we thing she would be a fantastic addition to an energetic family or one that likes to go for adventures! We don't believe she is house broke given her age but she's a smart girl and should catch on quickly! Her adoption fee is $250 and this will include her spay, 1 year rabies vaccine, microchip and heartworm test. Since we are not 100% sure of her age she will need to go out on a foster to adopt until she can be completely vetted. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet her! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application. Email us at: animalcontrol@unioncountyil.gov and make an appointment for a meet and greet! Address: Union County Animal Control, 385 Kaolin Road, Cobden IL 62920.

Story
Hey there my name is Lulu! I’m an easy peasy dog who is an absolute catch if I say so myself. I get along wonderfully with EVERYTHING! Between dogs, cats, people, and teeny tiny people, I love them all. I’m great on a leash but prefer slow short walks to jogging. A few things my foster mom loves about me are the little noises I make when I get pets. I LOVE baths and being brushed and don’t mind dressing up like a fashionista. I also let my foster mom know when I need to go outside. I’m great on car rides and love attending adoption events. I enjoy meeting the other dogs there and new people. My foster home has a big backyard and I live for going out back and rolling in the grass. One of my favorite things is napping on the couch and getting as close to my foster mom as possible. If you are looking for a laid-back girl who will be your sweet small shadow, I’m the one for you. Get your application in for me today!

Story
This dapper gentleman is Indy! He is a senior mixed breed - maybe 11-12 years young - and he weighs in at about 44 pounds. You'd never guess his age by the pep in his step and his zest for life.  Indy has been patiently waiting for the perfect home to spend his golden years - a quiet and loving home where he can be spoiled in all the best ways! He enjoys a nice stroll with lots of opportunity to sniff things out and he walks well with his Harness Lead.  Indy LOVES to play with toys and enjoys pulling them out of the toy box to collect them on his dog bed.  He does need to be supervised with toys to ensure he doesn't swallow any pieces fabric or stuffing.  Indy does a great job playing independently.  If he needs to be distracted from his toy, it's easy to do so with food and his Snuffle Mat.  He is food motivated and can be quite persistent when he knows you have food.  We feed Indy with a puzzle, maze bowl, or his favorite - the Snuffle Mat.  Indy is happy and sweet as pie...he loves to be close to his people and happily gives kisses in exchange for being petted.  He needs a home with no other pets and no children under the age of  12 years.   If you're looking for sweet and affectionate, Indy is your guy - apply today to adopt him!   Thanks to a sponsorship, Indy's adoption fee has been paid for an approved adopter.  There is a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents.  He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. To be considered for adoption, you must first submit the application found at:  http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm Wish Bone Canine Rescue  1303 Morrissey Drive Bloomington, IL 61701 www.wishbonecaninerescue.org           Since its our desire that you have a pet you can enjoy a lifetime of love with you, we take special measures to ensure that the pet is the best match for you and your family.  We require that you complete our online www.wishbonecaninerescue.org (Please give us 24 hours to verify your information).

Story
Hello, my name is Buster... short for Buster Brown... which seems to fit for me ;) I am a gorgeous color- like when you are painting things in school and you mix the burnt orange in with the brown paint- you get ME!!! I appear to be a Chow mix, my fur is medium length and somewhat fluffy and is so soft!! My face looks square and so KISSABLE!! I am about 70# so not a small boy, I know what I want in life. I have the personality of a goofy boy and smart, independent chow as well in that I LOVE my people, but can be a little reserved until I know I love them!! I came to the pound with horrible injuries to my back end, likely the result of a car accident or a drag accident. My legs were in pretty horrible shape and I was unable to walk for the first couple of days. Now my legs are completely healed over and I have totally forgotten why we are even discussing it!! I have a really strong spirit to have gotten through such awful injuries with the sweet countenance I have. I love my people and am pretty good with other dogs too. I am great in a crate, on a leash, in a house with a mouse too :) (Dr Seuss is my favorite author!!) I am ready for my forever family, I can be a little nervous with people in my face and would really be best with older kids but everyone else is cool!! Look me up and adopt me, you will never regret it- I will make all your dreams come true!! (ok, you will make MINE come true) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE.
