Marley is a sweet dog but needs a home without other pets or children. She is a great lap dog and wants love all day.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Cleo, a 9-month-old, 35-pound bundle of joy that is completely devoted to her humans. Affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s right by your side, Cleo takes cuddle time very seriously and never misses a chance to join in. Cleo can be a bit choosy about her canine friends and prefers slow, careful introductions, or to be the only dog in the home where she can soak up all the attention. She’s also not a good match for a home with cats. Around her people, though, Cleo is loving and attentive and proud to call them her own. Potty training is going wonderfully, and she’s almost there! Cleo is also working on her manners, including polite greetings (no jumping!), leash skills, and fine-tuning her “sit.” She’s smart, highly treat-motivated, and eager to learn, making training both fun and rewarding. With her big heart, quick mind, and devotion to her people, Cleo is ready to bring endless love and joy to her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your biggest fan, Cleo just might be the perfect match. (Born April 2025)

Story

Meet Ivy ! This shepherd, possibly Doberman, mid is a beauty! She’s approximately 6-8 months old is crate trained, potty trained, except when she meets new friends, she gets the excited pees. After a couple days of the same old people those go away! Ivy is great with all dogs, kids, and cats too! She’s an excellent listener and is very motivated to please her humans! She loves snuggling and is hoping to find someone who loves it just as much as her! Ivy would prefer a home with no adult men most of the time as they seem to scare her based on past trauma. She absolutely thrives in a home with a mom or moms and is great with kids, cats, and dogs!

MAEVE

Chihuahua

Female, Senior

Peoria, IL

Size

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

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sweet MAEVE is proof that learning to be loved after so many years and disappointments can take a bit. We are not out of the woods but we are getting close! Maeve means "the cause of great joy" and I am hoping that she will be someone's greatest joy til the end of her days. Also, her pure joy still shines through even after people have let her down so horribly. We are waiting on blood work. She does have a heart murmur (not unusual in an older dog). She has gained some much needed weight and best of all.....she was released for a BATH. I love giving a foster the first bath in rescue. You can see the calm and change as their old life is washed away making room for a fresh new start. Maeve enjoyed the warm water and the oatmeal shampoo. She is now snoring on her bed! More to come!

Ava

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Peoria, IL

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Do you want a family dog but think you don’t have the time? Ava is the perfect dog for your busy family! At 7 years old, she already has the basics down and is quick to learn the daily routines. She’s potty trained and can be trusted to be left alone for hours, peacefully napping until her humans get home. Don’t let her age fool ya, she’s still got energy for daily tug-a-war and loves a round of fetch. She doesn’t need much, but loves the attention when she gets it. She is very persistent about going at her own pace when on a leash, and at 60lbs she’ll need a leaseholder that can help guide her. She loves children and will give kisses to any face that comes into range. Note that, she is on a hydrolyzed protein diet due to food allergies, so she may do better in a home with older children that understand no table scraps. Must be an only dog and unsure how she is around cats. This loving couch potato is ready to claim your lap as her own.
