Story
Blue is my 5-year-old American Bully, and this is not an easy decision. I’m looking for the right home, not just any home. About Blue: Fully vaccinated Very mild-tempered and well-behaved Great with kids and other pets Affectionate, loyal, and loves being around people Truly a big baby with a calm demeanor Why I’m rehoming him: My schedule has become very demanding, and Blue is spending too much time alone. He deserves a home where he can get the time, attention, and consistency he needs. What I’m looking for: A stable, loving home Someone who has time for him daily Experience with dogs (preferred) Not a “backyard” or neglect situation Located in the south suburbs of Chicago.

Story
Freya is still patiently waiting for that ONE approved adoption application to come in. Freya has been with us for two whole years now. With no interest. Freya is still looking for her forever home or a foster family through a licensed rescue! She is current on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped. Her only flaw is that she doesn’t like to share her toys or food. Unfortunately miss Freya wants to be the only pet in her family’s house! She can be possessive over her food and her favorite toys so she will need to be the only pet in her home. She would also benefit from some more training. Some of our kennel girls have tought her the basics like sit, paw, and stay, but this girl is SMART and would thrive witheven more! Freya will love every human friend she makes! She just wants all the love and attention to herself 💜 If interested in Freya or if you think your reacue could pull her please give us a call!

Story
Meet Bella! 🐾 Bella is a beautiful young Cane Corso who is around a year old and full of life! This playful girl has a big personality, a big heart, and even bigger hugs to share. She absolutely loves attention and will gladly shower her favorite people with slobbery kisses and affection. Bella is still young and has lots of energy, so she’ll thrive with a family that can give her plenty of playtime, exercise, and love. Because she gets very excited and eager to play, she does best with larger dogs who can match her energy and will need slow, proper introductions to make new canine friends. Bella is a little too interested in cats and small dogs, so she is looking for a home without them. With the right match, patience, and guidance, this sweet, goofy girl will make a loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate best friend who will keep you smiling and never let you go without a hug, Bella may be your perfect match! ❤️🐶 Available at County Line Pet Hospital 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com

Story
Everyone meet Cookiedough!!!! This cute little lady was found as a stray walking herself down the road, leash and all! We were SO sure that was a good indicator she had a family looking for her….. unfortunately we were wrong 🥺 Cookiedough is as cute as can be! She’s around 1-2 years old so she’s got LOTS of energy. She is current on her vaccines and heartworm negative! Good with other dogs! Unfortunately she is very VERY anxious and stressed out. Who wouldn’t be in a loud noisy kennel?! It takes her a little time to trust new people as well but after some time she turns into the sweetest little lady who will melt at your feet! It’s clear she got little to no socialization before coming to us. She would definitely benefit from some time to decompress in a home and learn to trust again! Please share so she can get out of the kennels! Clphadoption@gmail.com 708-754-2351

Story
Meet Ruger, a handsome senior German Shepherd with a heart full of love and plenty of energy still left to share! Don’t let his age fool you—this sweet boy still gets excited for adventures, walks, and especially spending time with his favorite people. Nothing makes him happier than seeing someone he loves, and his whole face lights up when he gets the attention and affection he craves. Ruger is looking for a home where he can be your one and only canine companion, as he prefers not to share his space with other dogs. However, he didn’t seem too bothered by cats and may do well with a calm, dog-savvy feline friend given a very slow and careful introduction. This loyal senior is ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and a family who will appreciate his big personality and even bigger heart. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who still has plenty of life, love, and loyalty to give, Ruger just might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Levi! ❤️ Levi is an 8–9-year-old gentleman who is looking for a soft place to land and spend his golden years. A few years ago, Levi was adopted from us and thought he had found his forever home. Sadly, through no fault of his own, he was abandoned and eventually found his way back into our care. Despite everything he’s been through, Levi still has so much love to give. He enjoys the simple things in life—comfortable naps, kind people, and a peaceful environment. Levi would do best in a home without cats. He can be a little unsure around other dogs at first and will need slow, proper introductions, but he has done well with calmer, lower-energy dogs once he has time to get comfortable. Levi deserves a family that will show him the love, stability, and commitment he has always deserved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share quiet days and cozy evenings with, Levi may be your perfect match. Let’s help this sweet senior find the forever home he should have had all along. 🐾 He will come up to date on all his vaccines, microchipped and his Heartworm test is pending He is currently available at County Line Pet Hospital for adoption or licensed rescue pull Clphadoption@gmail.com 708-754-2351
