Story

Ruby is a very sweet, passive playful girl! We took her in when her former owner could no longer keep her in order to prevent her from getting left at a rescue or animal control. She has all of her shots including Rabies and has an appt on March 12th to get spayed at our cost. She is around 11 months old. She is very playful and is not aggressive with our other 2 dogs at all. We cant keep her because are other dogs are older with health issues and we just cant take on the needs of a young playful energetic puppy at this time.

Story

Brody is a very friendly boy when I comes to kids and people! He does well with female and neutered male dogs but does not care for unnuetered males. He needs somewhere he can run. I mean he is technically a farmer dog. When I got him, I was unaware of how much exercise and attention his breed needs. He loves cuddles & attention!

Story

Companion Seeking Peace Nami is a soulful survivor who deserves the absolute best life has to offer. I rescued her after she was abandoned at a local park. I successfully tracked down her previous owner, but he officially forfeited ownership. Became clear that Nami was looking for a fresh start with someone who truly values her. Why Nami is Special: Gentle Soul: She has a heart of gold and has been wonderfully patient and gentle around my newborn niece. Versatile: She currently lives peacefully with a variety of dogs, ranging from a 10lb small fry to a 70lb+ male. The Sweetest Babe: She is truly one of the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever encountered. Ideal Match: Nami has been through a lot of transition & "big" life changes. She deserves a home rooted in kindness and compassion. would thrive as an only dog (to soak up all the love) or with one calm companion. I’m surviving a situation where I can't care for her the way she deserves & my only goal is to find her the peace she deserves

Vader

Labrador Retriever Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Adult

Wood River, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Vader was adapted as a rescue as a puppy 9 years ago. He has been with only my family. My husband passed away last year and since I work long hours and have no one to help he spends most of his time shut in our basement while I’m away. This is unfair to him and makes me feel guilty about something I have no power to change. He needs a home with someone who has more time to spend with him. He would prefer to be an only dog. He doesn’t make messes or chew things or dig. He is food motivated. He tolerates chickens but has no patience for cats or squirrels. He has no food allergies or special food requirements. He eats Purina Dog Chow and any snacks or treats you are willing to offer. He really is a good dog. However, I am no longer a good pet mom, and his life would be better with someone who was.
