Story
Hi friends! My name is Henry and I am a dachshund mix! I came from a local animal control after they pulled me from a home that was not in great condition. There were too many dogs and the condition of the home was not good for anyone. I was loaded with fleas and needed medicated bags, but the kind people at animal control helped me with that. Some of my siblings ended up at sister rescues where they are getting medicated baths and getting better. I wish them all the best as they find forever homes too! I’m now all better and I’ve been fixed, I’ve gotten all of my shots, and I have a clean bill of health! My foster mom says I am cat friendly, I am dog, friendly, and I was good with kids at the adoption event last weekend. I’m also housebroken and crate trained. At six years old, I am full grown at 13 pounds. My favorite thing to do is to cuddle with my humans on a chair or couch. I’m also really good in the car and like to go for car rides. I walk pretty well on a leash as well. I can live in a house or I would be OK living in an apartment because I’m a pretty quiet guy. I don’t need much but a little bit of love and sometime. If you’re looking for a happy little guy like me, I would love to meet you! Applications are now being accepted! #pupsofpeoria #petpackrescue #petpackpeoria #doxiesofinstagram #doxie #DoxieLife

Story
Hello My name is Luna, I am a 2 years old chiweenie (dachshund/chihuahua). I love to run in the yard with my foster siblings. I love to give kisses and snuggle with my foster family, I am good with kids. I have lived with other small dogs but act tough around new dogs so a slow introduction would be needed. I do sleep in my kennel all night and I am good on a leash. I am working hard on housebreaking. Luna's adoption fee of $300 covers her spay, microchip with registration, vaccines, negative heartworm test, and flea & heartworm prevention. You can apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##2831589##

Story
Sweet Tart is a 1-year-old Dachshund mix who tips the scales at just 8.5 pounds. She's a little sweet and a little tart, but that's only because this tiny girl is scared and still figuring out the world around her. She needs an adult-only home, a secure, fenced yard, and a patient adopter who will give her time to decompress, learn about life as a family dog, and discover what it means to be loved. A confident canine companion may help her adjust, too. Sweet Tart needs someone willing to let her blossom at her own pace and show her that life can be pretty sweet. Her adoption fee is $300, plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents if she is 4 months or older. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Belle is 14 years old and has been with our family 11 years. Unfortunately, our kids have all moved out and our new home and schedule do not allow us to keep her. She is super sweet. She loves people. Due to her older age, she does sleep a lot. And will occasionally have an accident. We are very unsure about her breed. We got her from a shelter.

Story
Meet Lady, a wonderfully sweet and gentle soul (around 8 to 10 years young) who is looking for a soft place to land. This low-rider gal may have a bit of arthritis slowing her step, but don't let that fool you—she still has plenty of love and a happy pep in her step! ​Lady’s favorite place in the world is right beside you as a cozy couch potato. She is fiercely loving, deeply calm, and best suited for a quiet home with older kids. She does well with other calm dogs who respect her space after a proper, slow introduction. Lady does like to guard her food and treats (from both people and other dogs), so she’ll thrive with an understanding family who can give her safe, undisturbed space during mealtime. ​Lady has so much warmth left to give. If you have room on your couch and in your heart for a gentle senior lady, she’s ready to fill your home with pure devotion.
