Story
Meet Skittles! Skittles is a young pup (under a year), that does not shy away from playing with his canine companions. He is about 20lbs, and we believe he'll be about 25-30lbs as an adult. He made his way to the Mutts of the Midway crew in March, coming all the way from one of our partner shelters in Laredo, Texas. Skittles is a little shy with people but has been opening up each day in his foster home. He loves to be outside, and his favorite activity is playing fetch in the backyard. He is learning that people are good and does well observing and learning through interactions from other dogs, so he would be a great addition to add to an existing pack. Skittles is ready to continue to learn through the play, training and patience that all young pups need! He's ready to find his people and can't wait to meet you!

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dante is a rescue from Indianapolis that we drove from Chicago to get in June of 2018. Since then, we've gotten him neutered and somewhat house trained. He doesn't have many accidents in the house, just needs to be let out/walked like any other dog. Dante has a dominant personality but can easily learn, through positive reinforcement, to co-exist once taught so. Good with kittens and our cat too, good with children.

Story
Poppy is a sweetheart! She is your companion. Poppy wants to be with her human, next to you on the couch or in your lap. Preferably in your lap, getting belly rubs. Did I mention that she is a sweetheart! She likes to go for walks and walks very well on a leash. Poppy likes to go places with you and she rides very well in a dog car seat. She is doing fairly well with her house breaking but still needs work, time, and patience. She is not a barky dog. She will bark a little when you leave (protesting) the house but stops after you pull away. And she will bark, of course, when you come home and she stops once you come in the house. She is still a little shy and timid. She needs to feel safe with you and looks to you for guidance and reassurance. When she feels that from you, she warms up pretty quickly to other people.! Poppy came to us after she was released from a breeder. She is a dachshund, DOB 4/25/17, is 11 lbs, and was just spayed, got a dental, up to date on shots, micro-chipped, and fecal and heart-worm tested negative. She is friendly and good with other dogs. She also is super affectionate and loves to be near people. She would do best in a home with kids over the age of 12.

"Get your motor runnin'! Head out on the highway! Looking for adventure and whatever comes our way!!!" That is one pawsome song right? My name is Wanda! I am a year old lowriding dachshund MIX :) looking for an ACTIVE family! They say I'm a very smart cookie, that sounds amazing!!! Who doesn't like cookies?! I know sit, fetch and learning to drop it. I have doggie friends and I've met the kitties and they are ok too! I am still a little nervous with new people and sometimes like to bork at them so they know I'm there. Foster mom is teaching me so many cool things all the time. I am crate trained and I LOOOVE belly rubs! I would do great with an active family that likes to go on hikes, adventures and give me lots of chewy toys and stimulate my growing mind! If you like to have a good time like me, have your people get with my people and let's get this pawty started!!!

Story
Hi my name is Cookee, and I'm the sweetest treat of a pup that you'll ever meet. People say I remind them of cookies and cream when I give them sweet kisses on the nose or bump up and snuggle with them when they're feeling down. I am a Dachschund/Standard Smooth Hair mix, 8-years old, and medium sized (20-59lbs). Sitting on people's couches or laps is my favorite pastime as I get to snuggle close to the people I love, which is practically everyone! As I am a bit on the older side and lived on the streets until I was saved with my babies in my tummy. I have been living at the rescue and am ready for my forever HOME!! I will need a patient and loving family to give me a good life of exercise- LOL, playtime, treats, love, affection, and belonging. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Lloyd! Lloyd is a handsome, smart, and friendly Chiweenie! With his long noodle body and fun Chihuahua energy Lloyd is the life of the party! Lloyd is good with dogs, would pair better with older children, and hasn't experienced any cats yet. He is crate trained and working on potty training, but doing well! Lloyd was found on the street full of fleas with his partner in crime Harry, was pretty much just running the streets, owners readily gave him up when asked who he belonged to. Lloyd is a super energetic dog who's ready to run right into your life and be your new best friend! Some basic information about Lloyd; he is 1-year(s) old, male, Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
When you hear the name, Chloe, what do you think of?? A cute girl with piggie tails and happy smiles? Or do you think about a mature woman with a penchant for tea and crumpets? I honestly think about the old chick, but I don't like tea and what are crumpets anyway?? SO, you guessed it- my name is Chloe! I am more of a middle aged gal (5 yrs old or so)with lots of love to give, and although I can be nervous with the wild kind of kids running around, I am PERFECTLY comfortable with a fire, popcorn and a good movie :D I am looking for a home that is relatively quiet and maybe a little boring, I am great with other dogs and would prefer to have a friend to hang out with- big or small... but no kids, sorry but I am not a kid loving girl, they just make me nervous and I react. Not sure if I was hurt or harassed by kids in my past life, I just know that in this life I am happy without them. And when it comes to cats... well cats are cats and there are some that I don't mind and there are some that I just plain don't like. I have been with cats in my foster home. A few are kind to me and some, well we would just rather not be in each others areas if you know what I mean. So when it comes to cats we are going to say that I am ok with cats if the cats are okay with me. Would I prefer a home without cats, yes. BUT every cat is different and who knows maybe one day we could grow to like each other given time, space and time. I didn't have the best life before I came to the rescue, now the rescue wants to find me THE BEST LIFE EVER! I have so many fun cool little dogs with me in my new foster home. We run and play and show our foster moms whats up! I am a cute girl, if you like dachshunds you will understand my personality perfectly- I love my people and am low to the ground. So adopt me, we can be the best of friends and that is the BEST home ever!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of State adoption fee is $450 transported to you.

These pups are in Chicago, Illinois too!

Meet Marshmellow, affectionately known as Mork in his foster home! Marshmellow is 2 years old and about 15lbs. He loves canine companions, big or small. He is a little reserved with new people but has continuously opened up in his foster home, learning to trust more and more, everyday! He is a smart and food motivated dog! He would do well in a home where he can continue to learn from a fellow canine companion.

If you are ready to open your home and heart up to cuteness and some quirks, Marshmellow is the guy for you!
