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. We have a toddler and she doesn't get as much love as she used to before he was here. She needs a home who can give her the attention she deserves. She loves walks and goes potty outside.

I’ve had Rocky since he was 2 months old. He is currently 11 months old (12-22-24). Rocky is a sweet dog that loves attention and affection. He loves snacks especially peanut butter. Rocky is great around kids and other animals. He enjoys finding and playing with the biggest rock he can find & loves car rides. I am looking for someone who is kind to animals and has the time for him.

Story
Ringo is an almost 2 yr old blue heeler pup that is looking for a loving, new home! We had him since he was 6 weeks old, but unfortunately my partner has developed allergies towards dogs and we can no longer afford to keep him up to date on his shots. He is very loveable and playful, and has TONS of energy, so he will need lots of space and daily exercise. He also has some obedience issues, (like chewing and jumping) so someone who is experienced in training is preferred but not required! He is amazing with children, and knows to be gentle. I have 2 little ones that he likes to herd around on a good day! With that being said, I am unsure of how he would be around other dogs/cats. Along with Ringo comes his food bowls, a kennel, some hygiene supplies, toys, harness, leash and collar if interested. Serious inquiries only please!

Story
Unfortunately, due to my new job schedule I am looking to rehome my boy, Spike. He’s a 3 year old 55 pound Lab/Boxer/Am Staffordshire terrier mix. He’s neutered, potty trained, and listens well indoors. He loves to play and cuddle. He’s good with other animals, he’s lived with cats and been around dogs before. Spike is also a little shy and doesn’t like loud noises. He’s had all his shots and vaccines. I give him heartguard every month. He’s been very well taken care of. He was last seen at the vet in May. We just moved here from New Jersey a few months ago, so his main vet was at Wayne Animal Hospital in New Jersey and I’ve tried everything to make accommodations for him with my new schedule here in Illinois. $50 rehoming fee just to show you can pay for his food for the month (which I will be giving you a supply of as well as his toys, bed, and treats.)

Chloe

Jack Russell Terrier Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Young
Peoria, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chloe loves attention and can be affectionate when she gets to know you. She prefers to be the only dog and does not like cats. She is from a hunter lineage and should not be around small animals. (Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Squirrels, Birds, etc.) She needs an adopter that understands Jack Russell and other Terriers. When around strangers, she will bark. Her barking can be controlled with a Petsafe device. It may take a little while for her to get used to her new family, so be patient. She loves to sit on the sofa or chair and look out of the window. She will snuggle under a blanket and will put herself to bed when it is time. She prefers her owner's bed, but will sleep in her own bed (kennel) if necessary. She is not a big eater and will often leave part of her meal for later. Of course, she loves treats. If there is not enough activity to tire her out, a walk will make her happy. She also loves to ride in the car and may not want to get out.
