Story

Looking for a loving forever home for my sweet girl, MarLei Giselle aka MarLei G. 🐾🤎 MarLei is an 8-year-old Cane Corso mix with the biggest heart. She is loving, loyal, cuddly, protective, and very family-oriented. She absolutely loves kids, treats, walks, long car rides with her head out the window, and being close to her people. She has never bitten or attacked anyone. She would do best as the only dog or with very careful introductions. She knows leave it, sit, stay, free, cage, and go home. She is crate trained and house trained with a consistent routine. MarLei needs a loving but firm owner who understands large breeds and can continue helping her with leash manners. She does best with a martingale collar and harness. She is up to date on vaccinations and receives Cytopoint injections every 3 months for allergies. I’m willing to travel for the right home. Meet and greet required. Serious inquiries only.

Story

Callie and Trixie are looking for their new home in the Chicagoland area after their father had a stroke and is no longer able to care for them. They are both 11 years old and have been bonded for 10 years, so they must be adopted together. They have no known medical issues. They are well-trained, obedient, loyal, and extremely sweet. Perfect adopter would have a house with a fenced yard, with or without kids, and who can spend time giving these girls love while they adjust.

Story

Coco is a sweet companion. She mimics her owner. She loves to have fun, yet many times you may find her just lying about. She loves to snuggle. I got Coco from Evanston Animal Shelter in September. She is 5 years old but has such a young spirit. Coco needs someone who will give her attention and still allow her to relax. She is self sufficient on her own for a bit. She needs a wonderful friend who will love her and keep her company. She is super friendly with people. Coco is kind, affectionate, energetic and wholesome. FUN FACT: Coco has one blue eye and one brown eye

Story

Ever seen a scruffy guy transform when someone finally shows him kindness? Hi, I’m Fred! I used to wander the streets of Chicago all alone—just me against the world. When they found me, I was a tangled, matted mess. Nobody had taken care of me in who knows how long, and honestly, I’d learned that the world wasn’t always a safe place. But I’m working on that now. Every day, I’m learning that not all humans will let me down. It’s a process, you know? I’m building trust one gentle interaction at a time. What helps? Walks! I absolutely love going on walks—they make me feel free and happy. And once I know you’re one of the good ones, I turn into a total snuggle bug. There’s nothing better than curling up close to my person after I’ve learned they’re safe. I also love playing with my stuffies. They’re my treasures, and watching me toss them around, you’d never guess I spent so long just trying to survive. Here’s the thing though—I’d really prefer to be the only pet in the house. After everything I’ve been through, I need a home where I can have all the attention and patience to myself while I continue working on trusting this new life of mine. If you’re willing to give a guy like me a chance and help me finish my journey from scared stray to beloved companion, I promise I’ll be worth the wait.
