Story
Sadly we are having to REHOME our sweet girl, due to the space and with a growing family, not being able to meet her attention needs, she has had one litter of 12 gorgeous healthy puppies, (on accident) she has bright orange eyes, and beautiful silky black color! She is a year and a half. She is an extremely sweet dog and loves everyone! Very protective over kids present, but not aggressive. We are so sad to have to rehome her, so good homes only!! She is a family dog for sure and loves to be around people.

Story
Archie was an unclaimed stray saved from our local pound. He is fun and goofy...LOVES to play with his ball and (in warm weather) splash in his baby pool. He's good in the house and not destructive - but he has a serious mistrust of strangers. He will warm up to them after a session of ball throwing - but would need to be heavily managed at first. He'd be a great companion and protector for a woman. For more information - call or text 217-473-9044; or email scottcountydogrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Hi, this is blue. He is a very good boy. He is about 1-2 years old and he loves people! I do not have the funds for him, nor another dog. I will say, he absolutely needs another dog in the home with him, because he cant be alone. When he is alone, he goes potty inside and eats anything he can get his paws on. He really is the most amazing dog besides that flaw. He needs a yard with a fence because this boy loves to play fetch! He knows to sit, stay, lay down, get off, and load up (get in the car). Please reach out because this guy needs a new home badly! Thank you.
