American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Xena is a stunner and knows it! She prefers that new people take their time to get to know her rather than falling in love with her good looks right away. After that, she can hardly contain her excitement about having a new friend. She loves to show off her toy collection and go for walks with her people. Once she gets her zoomies out, she's happy to lounge around and cuddle while watching some TV. Her foster family can't speak highly enough about her and cannot believe she is still waiting for her forever home!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ivy is a wonderful dog with a calm and gentle presence that makes her a pleasure to have around. She settles easily into her environment and brings a peaceful energy to everyday life. She enjoys going on walks and does very well on a leash, making her a great companion for relaxed outings. One of her most charming habits is how much she loves rolling around in the grass. It often looks like she is swimming through leaves, and it is sure to make you smile. Ivy has excellent house manners. She has not had any potty accidents and is comfortable spending time in her crate. After she has had enough interaction, she will even choose to go into her crate on her own to rest. Ivy is an easygoing, sweet dog who is ready to find a home where she can continue to thrive and share her calm, loving nature.

Suzie

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos
Riverwoods, IL
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Suzie is a small but incredibly resilient girl who is still learning how to navigate the world. Because she came from a hoarding situation, her life experience has been very different from that of a “regular” dog. New sights, sounds, and people can feel overwhelming to her. Suzie finds great comfort in the presence of other dogs and would truly blossom in a home with a confident canine companion to help show her the way. She looks to her dog friends for reassurance and safety. She will need a patient, kind, and understanding adopter who can move at her pace and celebrate the little victories along the way. With gentle guidance and lots of love, Suzie has the potential to grow into a devoted and quietly brave companion. If you have a soft heart, a calm home, and maybe a friendly dog to be her buddy, Suzie just might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Havok! This small but adventurous guy loves going on walks and exploring the great outdoors. He’s a little shy at first and can be a bit picky, but give him some time and the right treat and he’ll show you just how much he can love (and eat!). Havok is all about earning trust and affection at his own pace. Once he’s comfortable, he’s happy to give kisses when you let him love you, of course! He also enjoys playtime, especially with toys that are just his size. If you’re patient and ready to win over a sweet little explorer, Havok will reward you with a whole lot of love.
