Details

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

Story

Hi! My name is Ace! I acquired my name from the lost boys from the movie Hook. I will be 4 years old this June. I really love tons of attention. I love baking in the sun and rolling around outside. I was born in Texas, so I love the heat. I do get cold very easily so my momma always has a fleece on me in the winter months and a T-shirt on inside. I’ve been living in Illinois since I was 8 weeks old. My family of 5 humans (3 children), my best friend Ruffio (Olde English Bulldogge), weird little creature Finn (Orange Tabby) and two fish. I am house trained and sleep in my crate. I will say though, I can’t resist human food and I’ve stolen a few pizzas off the counter when my humans left the room. I’m in need of a new home because my canine brother and I haven’t been seeing eye to eye the past two years. Even though I’ve been with him since I was a pup. I have a ton of energy and well he just doesn’t like to play as much. I’m assuming I will need my new home to be just for me.

Clyde

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Hinckley, IL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Clyde came in with his friend Bonnie. These poor dogs were left in a public restroom tied up. Clyde had chewed through his leash but didn't leave Bonnie. That being said, now that they are safe and comfortable they really aren't that attached and would probably do better separated. Clyde does best with dogs his size or bigger and needs a slow introduction, he would be great all by himself, soaking up all the people attention. He loves to play, especially fetch and has tons of energy to burn off. He still needs some work on his manners but is doing much better on his chewing and seems to be housebroken and is working on his basic commands. He has not met a cat yet and is most likely too much for them. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500 To adopt Clyde email us at kakf3133@gmail.comNovember 4, 2024, 2:12 pm

Story

Remington

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Hinckley, IL

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Remington is a Australian Shepherd mix who turns 11 in Jan 2025. He would do best in an active home or with a "job". He knows all of his commands and will proudly show you all his tricks for a treat. He has a great coat that is easy to manage compared to most Aussie's and is a sweet heart for grooming. Remington needs to be in a home without small kids, he has had little exposure to kids and can be reactive to quick motions. We do believe with time and training he can work through it. Once he has adjusted he becomes a cuddle bug. He has lived with other dogs his whole life but can be selective of new dogs. He does not seem interested in cats but to our knowledge has never lived with them. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Remington, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comDecember 22, 2024, 10:02 pm

Buck

Labrador Retriever Border Collie

Male, Young

Hinckley, IL

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Buck is a complete goof ball, he flops around with a huge smile on his face. He loves following around other dogs and would benefit from a friend to learn more commands from. He would spend all day chasing other dogs in the yard if he could. Buck is crate trained and mostly potty trained. He does not chew or tear apart toys. He does great with kids but is a puppy still (Turns 1 in Oct 2024), so he might be too much for little kids, and he doesn't understand how to be gentle with cats either and does try to play with them (which they usually don't like). Buck is still a bit skittish, but once he warms up he is a loving lap dog. He knows "inside" and "crate", but is still learning other basic commands. Buck overall is just a happy go lucky pup! He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. His adoption fee is $500 To adopt Buck, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comNovember 4, 2024, 2:12 pm
