Story
Meet Stormy!  Don't let the name fool you — this girl is pure sunshine! Stormy is an absolutely adorable Chow/Lab mix, weighing in at around 30 lbs of boundless energy and heart. Stormy is about 2 years old, and she is just hitting her stride and ready to find the person — or people — she's going to love for the rest of her life.  Stormy is the kind of dog who will be right by your side whether you're hitting the trails, exploring a new park, or just making a run to the coffee shop. She's your co-pilot, your adventure buddy, your biggest fan. This girl has loyalty written all over her, and once she's yours, she is yours — the kind of dog you'll wonder how you ever lived without.  She's fully housebroken and ready to settle right into your home and your routine. She's got the energy to keep up with an active lifestyle and the heart to wind down with you at the end of the day.  Stormy would absolutely thrive with a playful dog friend to match her enthusiasm, or with active owners who love getting outside and making memories. She's the dog who shows up for every single adventure — and a few cozy nights on the couch too.  If you've been waiting for a loyal, loving, fun-sized adventure companion, Stormy is ready to write that story with you.  Think Stormy might be your perfect match?

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.

Story
This is Nuka! Nuka is an 11 year old neutered male Chow Chow who was surrendered as he was not doing well with children in the home. He has been a model citizen here at the shelter, and is looking for a Chow savvy home to spend the rest of his days with. He weighs 56 lbs, is currently receiving much needed grooming services, was already neutered & microchipped, and is now vaccinated and heartworm negative. As you can see in his last photo, he does have issues with his eyes --- entropion in both eyes that needs to be surgically corrected. We are happy to do so when we have a rescue or the right adopter secured! We are told he does not get along with other animals, but has met dogs without issues here at the shelter. We do think he has some hearing loss but no issues with ear infections, etc. He will make a great companion for an adult-only household, especially one familiar with his breed. His adoption fee is $150 and includes everything above. Please call or email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov

Story
Hear what Ilona's foster has to say about her! "Meet Ilona! Ilona is a sweet, independent girl who loves the company of other dogs more than anything. She’s happiest when she has a playful canine companion to chase, so she’d thrive in a home with another dog who enjoys an active playmate. If her foster sisters are lounging around, she’ll let them know it’s time to play. In Ilona’s world, playtime is the best time! Though she adores her dog buddies, Ilona is a quiet and low-maintenance companion for people. She’s easy going around kids, but far more interested in playing with dogs than people. She’s an independent pup who prefers to nap solo rather than snuggle. She’s also content entertaining herself with a toy, the broom if you start sweeping, and her own tail! She’s doing great with potty training and will usually let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s crate-trained and a calm passenger on car rides. Ilona’s biggest love (besides dogs) is peanut butter! She’s so in tune with her routine that when she hears a phone alarm, she knows it’s peanut butter time. And if she doesn’t get it right away? Well, Ilona isn’t afraid to be a little diva about it! She also has a picky side. If she doesn’t like a certain food, she’ll be sure to let you know! Smart and observant, she’s picking up basic commands and loves exploring her surroundings. If you have a playful pup looking for a best friend, Ilona might be the perfect fit. Could she be the missing piece in your home?" Please note this pup has some medical conditions that our staff will be happy to speak to you about.
