Story

Dre is 5 years old and is a lovable goofy dog. He was brought from Georgia and has been raised since a puppy with me. He loves to go on walks and sunbathe whenever he gets the chance. He loves to play tug of war and do his zoomies. He is house trained with no accidents and knows how to tell you when needing to go out or attention. Knows simple commands and is trained to need permission before eating. He is leash trained and does not bark at dogs walking by. Dre needs a loving home as he will give you the same love. Unfortunately I no longer have time anymore to take care of Dre and my mother was helping but is unfortunately unable to do the same. Breaks my heart to separate from him but I want what is best for him and for him to be happy/comfortable. If possible temporary rehome until I can have a better situation for him and I will pay for all expenses, food, vet, baths, and toys!If he finds a forever home that would make me happy too!

Story

Hi, I’m Millie! I’m a sweet, loving, and active 5-year-old girl who absolutely adores snuggles and being close to my people—I truly think I’m a lap dog. I’m potty trained, very intelligent, and I already know quite a few skills.I would do best as the only dog in the home so I can soak up all your love and attention. I haven’t been around small children, so I’m not sure how I’d do with them, but I would be a wonderful companion for older kids and adults. I promise I’ll be your most loyal friend and always stick by your side.My family loves me very much, but due to an upcoming marriage and relocation, they are looking for a new home for me. I would make a great addition to a loving family who can give me the attention and care I deserve.

Oso

Cane Corso

Lake Villa, IL

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We got Oso when he was a puppy. He had his ears cropped already and he loves to play. He does follow commands, but if he gets to excited he tends to get overwhelmed and is confused on what to do. But he loves playing tug of war, or running away with his favorite toy and you chase him. He needs someone whose willing to give him their time and isn't afraid to command and lead him. You need to be stern with him, while giving his command. He doesn't eat unless you tell him to eat. He will get excited if he meets another dog, but he just wants to play with them, but people think he's attacking them because he's so big and makes noises. Needs someone who is experienced with big dogs and who could love him like their own. I can't take him with me, I'm getting re-stationed to Japan. He doesn't have a kennel, but I got plenty of dog food to give.

JJ needs a companion and a home without children, he ok with other dogs , he has been with our 2 others just fine and visits with family dogs.
