Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Kasey Kasey is seriously the sweetest little guy! This adorable 3.5-month-old maybe Shih Tzu/Cockapoo/Pittie mix loves to play, but he also thinks snuggling with humans is one of life’s greatest activities. Kasey is the goodest boy — he’s wonderful with kids, great with other dogs, and has such a loving, happy personality. Both of his parents are under 30 pounds, so we expect Kasey to stay on the smaller side too! If you’re looking for a playful best friend with a cuddly side, Kasey may just be your perfect match.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Apple Pie! I’m 6 months old, and I’m already trying out for best boy ever When my fosters first met me, I was the very first one to crawl over for cuddles and start handing out sweet puppy kisses—like free samples at Costco! With my soft fur, squishy little face, and loving personality, I’m pretty hard to resist. I’m not just cute—I’m smart, too! On walks, I’ve been very well behaved, and I’m practicing commands like sit, stay, and come like a little overachiever. (I might even remind you about homework ) I’m still working on potty training and getting used to foster life, but I’m trying my very best. In my crate, I’m a perfect gentleman—no mess, no destruction, just patiently waiting like a good boy. I LOVE to play and romp around, and I’m a really good house guest. One of my favorite things is snuggling—there’s nothing better than pressing into your lap for cuddles. I also love walking around with a bone in my mouth, just happy as can be I have so much love to give—I just need a foster or forever home where I can keep growing into the amazing dog I’m meant to be. ✨ Apply to foster or adopt me at projecthopearf.org ✨  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 23, 2026, 2:03 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey there, I’m Dalilah! I’m a 64-pound Boxer mix, professional squirrel chaser, and part-time nap enthusiast. My puppies have all been adopted (you’re welcome, world), and now it’s my turn for a forever home! ✨ When I’m not running off squirrels and bunnies like the neighborhood security guard ️, I’m usually lounging around looking adorable. I’m fully potty trained — zero accidents, 100% good girl. ✅ I love walks, tennis balls, and kids (especially the ones with snacks). I might borrow a stuffed animal or two… purely for emotional support, of course. Cats? Hard pass. They look suspiciously like bunnies, and I take my duties seriously. Car rides aren’t my fave — I prefer a cozy crate where I can grumble quietly about the traffic. Oh, and fun fact: I’m a surprisingly good swimmer! ‍♀️ (Baywatch who?) I get along with most dogs and promise to bring love, laughter, and a little chaos to your life — in the best way possible. So come on — take a chance on your new favorite girl! Apply at projecthopearf.org before I chase my next squirrel! Born 10/6/2022  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 23, 2026, 2:03 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lacy is one of our newest arrivals and this sweet little 3-year-old Chihuahua mix made her way to us all the way from Arkansas. She can be a little hesitant at first, but if you take things slow and let her come to you on her own terms, she warms up quickly and shows her sweet personality. Lacy prefers not to be picked up, but once she trusts you, she is happy to curl up in your lap for cuddles — as long as she’s the one making the first move. Her foster also discovered that Lacy willingly jumped right into the car, so we think it’s safe to say she may enjoy car rides too! Lacy is settling in nicely and learning that life can be full of kindness, comfort, and love. We can’t wait to watch this little girl continue to blossom. apply at projecthopearf.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 23, 2026, 2:03 pm

Story
https://www.collierescue.org/dogs/8 NAPERVILLE, IL Kirby is a gentle, mahogany sable Rough Collie who brings a calm, comforting presence to any room. This mellow, house-trained senior girl loves staying close to her people and would thrive in a quiet home that can support her slower pace and mobility needs. Kirby is a 11-year-old Rough Collie whose sweetness and easygoing nature shine through in everything she does. She’s fully house trained, rarely vocal, and content with a simple routine that includes short, regular walks and plenty of couch time. Kirby prefers to stay near her adults, soaking up gentle affection and companionship rather than high-energy play. She’s learning to loosen up and play a bit from her foster siblings, but her favorite role is quiet, loyal shadow. Due to significant muscle loss in her rear legs, Kirby has difficulty with stairs and getting up, so she needs a home that can accommodate her mobility challenges. She’s doing better with supportive care and supplements, but still benefits from a safe, stable environment where she can move at her own pace. A fenced yard is always desirable but she doesn’t require it as long as she gets age-appropriate exercise. Kirby moves carefully around seniors and would be an ideal match for a calm, patient household ready to offer her comfort, consistency, and love in her golden years.
