Sonny

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Male, Adult

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sonny is the sweetest, little dog you will ever meet. He is house trained and so loving. He follows the baby around the house, snuggles and just wants to be pet all day. He is super chill. We’re hoping Sonny can be adopted with his brother so that they can stay together and go on walks, run around a yard and be loved on and snuggle and sleep all day. We just want them to have the best life and get all the attention they deserve.

Story
We rescued Cooper when he was 1 year old. He is a sweet dog who loves to go on walks and snuggle. He is very chill and will sleep most of the day. Now that we have small children, he has become very anxious around them, that’s why we’re hoping to find the perfect family to help him live his best life. We’re hoping he and his dog brother (different breed) can be adopted to a loving family together. Where they can go on walks, run around a yard and snuggle and sleep all day. Cooper also doesn’t love strangers coming into his home and trying to pet him. He’d do better in a quiet home. If a stranger tries to pet him he will bark his head off at them. Once he knows you he’s good but it’s best for new people to leave him alone and let him come to them once he’s comfortable. If he gulps down water quickly (after being outside) he’ll throw it up right away. To prevent this we just keep his water bowl outside.

Bruno

Pitsky German Shepherd Dog

Male, Puppy
Crystal Lake, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
A family friend rescued Bruno from a hoome where he had been mistreated as a puppy back in August of 2023. She was unable to keep Bruno where she was staying so we offered to watch him until she found an apartment of her own. Thankfully, our friend has settled into a new apartment but they do not allow pets over 20 pounds (Bruno is approximately 40 lbs). We have an 8 year old Yorkshire Terrier who does not share the same energy level as Bruno and they are getting on each others nerves. We love Bruno and want him to have a good home where he will be loved and taken care of. No adoption fee is required. If Bruno is a good fit for you and your loved ones, he will come with a 48x30x32 inch crate, food bowl/stand, food bin, leash, and treats. Thank you!

Story
Pablo is an adult dog just turned 7 years old. He is well trained and active. Likes to play fetch and take walks. Sit stay and lay down are his basic commands. Reason for rehome is Pablo’s fear of young kids. We have two toddlers and he gets skiddish and scared around all kids. Better for adult only interaction

Story
Auggie and Fiona have had a great start into this world! The pups are a bonded pair from the same litter. DOB 05/25/23. We've worked hard at socializing them with other dogs and humans so they are very adaptable. We've provided a nurturing home and have gone through most of the puppy growing pains since adopting them. They are up to date on vaccinations neutered/spayed and healthy! They are occasional "campers" at Camp Bow Wow for socialization. We think they'd be a great pair to adopt out together but may be willing to adopt them out individually.  They are very playful with each other which helps them burn off some of their energy. Auggie (brown lab) is goofy kinda floppy and loves to snuggle. Fiona (black lab) is sweet joyful and playful but a little more independent. We hope to adopt them out to a family with a decent size yard. We will be moving oversees and it gets a bit complicated. Fee is $400 for both is negotiable once we confirm they will be with a good family/home.

Story
Lancelot has grown to be a big boy now. He loves playing fetch with tennis balls and loves going on walks. He would do better with a family who is very active with him or another dog who is female to help him play. He always wants to be involved in doing what you're doing or rough housing.March 23, 2024, 2:24 pm
