Story
Diamond is a 2-year-old Doxiepoo weighing about 20 pounds, and she truly lives up to her name. This sweet girl is the perfect blend of playful sparkle and cozy calm. Want to squeeze in a midday nap? She’ll happily curl up beside you. Feeling energetic and ready for fetch? She’s already trotting over with a toy. Diamond is wonderfully go-with-the-flow and just wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. She absolutely adores kids — especially her 2-year old foster sister, Lucy, who she thinks is the greatest invention since peanut butter. Diamond is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in family life. She’s also perfectly content entertaining herself with her beloved stuffed toys or lounging nearby like a polite little cloud with paws. Bonus: she doesn’t get into things around the house and has excellent manners. Diamond is house-trained and crate-trained, though she may offer a short opening performance of “Sad Puppy: The Musical” when first crated. Her true preference? Snuggling up in bed with her humans for a full night of cozy companionship. She’s a smart cookie, too, already knowing sit, shake, and lay down. While she can be a bit submissive at first, once she feels safe her friendly, outgoing personality shines. She’s happy, adaptable, playful, and affectionate without being clingy. Want cuddles? Yes please. Need space? She’ll quietly relax nearby. She really is the best of both worlds. If you’re looking for an easygoing, family-friendly companion who can match your energy, Diamond might just be your perfect match - she's ready to shine in her forever home! Her minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Vienna is fostered in Lansing, IL.   Meet Vienna.  She is a black and tan, 8 lb, Mini Dachshund and Miniature Pinscher mix who is full of life and loves cuddling with all humans and other dogs. She is playful, smart, loyal, goofy, and independent. Her foster dad calls her his little lemur; she loves to leap and play and has some serious distance! Her forever home should be ready for everyone to stop you on walks to admire how adorable she is! Her date of birth is 8/29/2025. She is super snuggly and very affectionate once she gets a few minutes to get to know you. Then, she is as loyal, gentle and snuggly as they come. She enjoys time on her human's lap (especially warm ones), being carried around, and sunbathing. At night I want to be under your comforter snuggled into you. Vienna is still learning how to alert/inform her humans how she needs to go outside to potty, and making good progress. Her foster dad says she just needs to keep working at it in her forever home.  A schedule for potty training needs to be continued for success.  What Vienna says about her life before coming to rescue: "I lived with a really big Doberman, as well as a German Shepherd and a cat along with 2 children under 10 years of age. I had lots of fun there, and would love to live with small humans or furry (or feathered) friends again. Now I’m living with my foster Dad and his female Australian Shepherd. When Dad leaves, he allows us both to have the run of the house, though we typically just lounge around and nap. My foster Dad has taught me that being inside a crate isn’t all that bad. I’ll eat my meals in my crate and will occasionally stay in one for a few hours to continue to learn to like it. I’m also good with nail trims. When I get introduced to new people or dogs, I like to just have a moment. I’m shy at first and need to feel things out for a few minutes. Once I feel safe, it’s game on for lots of fun!  I really enjoy car rides, especially if I get to be next to or on someone warm. I enjoy sitting in a cart at stores and welcome meeting people if they move slow around me. Don’t let my size fool you, as my foster dad calls me his little Sprite. I kinda agree with him here. :) I’d prefer a home with lots of love from my humans, fun dogs to play with (cats are fine too) and share beds and bones with.  Vienna is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed and is taking monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org   ##2639030##

He gets so excited to see his people that his whole body wiggles with happiness, and it’s honestly the cutest thing ever. Henri loves kisses, cuddles, and especially being held like a baby. He’s a total snuggle bug who thrives on affection and being close to his humans. And one more very important thing to know about him: Henri LOVES food—treats, meals, snacks… if you have it, he’s interested.  Because he has some vision difficulties, he can occasionally bump into things, but he navigates life well with a little guidance and consistency. He does best when taken outside frequently for potty breaks, and he’ll need help being carried down stairs. Henri also has allergies and takes Apoquel daily, which he will need to stay on long-term to keep him comfortable and healthy. Henri is sweet, loving, and full of personality—he’s truly a special little dog who will bring so much joy to the lucky person or family who welcomes him home.  Henri is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken with regular trips out, and neutered.  This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today!  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!

Story
Meet Mulan, this precious little dachshund-beagle mix with the biggest heart and the sweetest soul  Born in October 2025, Mulan is already winning everyone over with her gentle nature and happy spirit. She’s expected to be around 30 pounds fully grown — the perfect medium size for cuddling on the couch, joining you on adventures, or curling up at your feet. Mulan absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine sibling.  Her affectionate, easygoing personality makes her a wonderful companion for families, couples, or anyone looking for a loyal best friend. This smart girl is already potty-pad trained and crate trained — she settles nicely in her crate and is well on her way to being a polite little housemate. For a young puppy, she’s impressively adaptable and eager to please. Before coming into rescue, Mulan was living outside and was sadly hit by a car, resulting in a broken leg. She had surgery to repair her leg, and has healed beautifully and is doing great! She’s resilient, strong, and ready to leave her past behind her for a safe, loving forever home! All Mulan needs now is someone to show her what it feels like to be cherished for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and snuggly companion with a brave little heart, Mulan might just be your perfect match! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
