Deeno

Chihuahua American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Aurora, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Deeno is 9 years old and understands (primarily) Spanish and English. He loves to run, spin, roll-over, jump, play catch (with 2 toys), sunbathe, nature-watch, and hear music.During his first few years, we were able to take care of him as we all had similar and consistent schedules. But now, we all have different, busy schedules and one less family member. As a result, Deeno's been lacking routine and proper socialization (with people/animals).Deeno is not trained to be unleashed outside. He needs a bit of leash training as he does pull, a bit of resource guarding training, and grooming training (he hates teeth brushing and nail clipping). Deeno is 60% blind on his right eye. Due to his little socialization, his behavior around others may be unpredictable, but with all the times he’s socialized, he's always curious and playful but eventually gets anxious, irritated, or snappy after a while (1+ hours).Deeno needs active and attentive owners who will train him and stimulate his life.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nacho is about a year and half old. He is a short stocky bully. He is very playful and loves cuddling and scratches on his belly. We brought him home from the shelter and were hoping to make him part of our family, unfortunately there have been difficulties with our toddler and we are having to rehome him for the benefit of Nacho. Our toddler still has some learning to do with animals in the home. We hope to find a home for Nacho with older children and more time to devote to playing and continue training him. He is primarily potty trained and listens to commands with his name and sit. He is a good dog and deserves a good home with all family members to love on him.-microchipped-neutered -heart worm negative

Tank

American Bulldog

Male, Adult

Aurora, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Tank is roughly 3 years old he does good with kids an other animals he doesn’t bark although he has a pretty cool bark he just doesn’t bark very playful an friendly he was giving to me from a breeder then kept him in the cage most of the time, so it had been extra challenging to break his cycle of just going where he sleeps..it would be best for the adopter to atleast have a yard where he can openly go possibly someone that has a doggy door when he needs to go as it has been challenging on him letting u know when he needs to use the bathroom since he doesn’t bark has been the most difficult thing for me, he only eats once a day right in the morning and he doesn’t eat for the rest of the day. He can’t be in the heat for long periods of time because of his breed so he mostly should be indoors for the summer time except quick trips out cannot be left outside in the summer he will die, he loves the winter he loves the snow running an playing in the snow is pretty fun to watch him disappear

Story

🐾 Hi everyone! My name is Cheyenne, and I’m 7(ish) years old! ❤️My mom says I’m the best dog! I’m completely housebroken, great with cats, neutral with new people, and do well with respectful dogs. With slow introductions, I may enjoy a dog sibling, too!I love walks, snow, being brushed, snuggles, watermelon, lamb chop toys, watching TV with you on the couch, and especially CAR RIDES! 🚗I’m looking for a new home because my family has fallen on hard times and can no longer comfortably afford my medical care. 💔 I have perianal fistulas, arthritis from hip dysplasia, and liver inflammation. I take cyclosporine twice daily, need a sensitive-tummy-friendly kibble, and could benefit from a joint supplement.Stairs are getting harder for me, so a home with fewer stairs or plenty of main-floor living space would be ideal.I know I need a little extra care, but I have so much love to give! Could you be my happily-ever-after? 🏡❤️ Message to meet me or ask questions!
