Story
Rico was brought to the shelter after being dumped in the country in late November. When he came to us he was an insecure, under socialized, and terrified puppy. After spending the last seven months with him, we’ve had the privilege of seeing Rico come into himself! After settling into a routine with staff, and spending some time in a foster home, he’s grown into a dog that is confident in himself and his people. He is kennel trained, loves to play, and is the #1 lover of tennis balls. He gets along well with other large dogs, loves to run and laze in the grass, and tolerates bath time with the appropriate amount of puppy dog eyes. Rico is a dog that shelter staff have grown to love as their own, but he is in desperate need of a foster home or an adoptive home. Rico's adoption fee is sponsored!

Brownie came to us as a stray after finding himself at a rural farmhouse. He is extremely sweet, very well mannered, and doesn't know a stranger. Brownie seems to like other dogs and dog savvy cats. Eager to get in the car and go wherever you're heading, Brownie would make the perfect travel buddy or everyday companion.

Story
Reed Timmer is believed to have been dumped in rural Dewitt county! After running for five days, he was finally able to be caught just before tornado warned storms hit the area! Reed is a loving guy who can be a bit wary of strangers at first. When he realizes you aren’t going to hurt him, he settles right in and demands all the love you have to give! He seems like he would do well with other dogs, but a meet and greet is always recommended! He does great at keeping his kennel clean and walks well on a leash! Reed's neuter is scheduled, but in the meantime, he would love a foster home!

Titus

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 7 yrs 1 mo
Clinton, IL
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
There’s a lot to love about this big guy! He walks well on a leash when wearing a harness and after getting his zoomies out. We don’t remember a time that he has ever had an accident inside, and he loves being outside sunbathing! He loves any and all toys you gift him, although his favorite thing is to pull the stuffing out of squeaky toys. He’s a master couch potato and would love a bed to call his own! He would do best in a home with no other animals but could potentially do well in a home with other dogs with a dog savvy owner.

Story
This bouncy, playful, and handsome young man is Buckaroo! Buckaroo came to the shelter after he had to be trapped here in town! He was real scared on intake, but with time and love he has become a whole new dog! Buck appears to have been a very loved dog in the past, coming to the shelter with perfectly trimmed nails and a shining coat. He does awesome at keeping his kennel clean, and loves a good game of fetch. He seems like he could potentially do well with other dogs, but a meet and greet us required. Being such a young guy, he is still full of energy, so we are working every day on our leash skills and manners!
