Dumbledog

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 mos

Joliet, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Dumbledog, our three-month-old Pittie puppy with a magical name and an even sweeter personality. This handsome little guy was found as a stray and brought to us after his finders were unable to locate his original owners. Now, Dumbledog is ready to start the next chapter of his story — one filled with love, stability, and a forever family. Dumbledog is everything you’d expect from a puppy his age. He’s incredibly snuggly and happiest when he’s curled up close to his people. When he’s not soaking up cuddles, he’s busy being a playful, curious pup who loves his toys and enjoys a good chew session. He’s learning about the world one paw at a time and approaches life with enthusiasm and puppy charm. As adorable as puppies are, they are a lot of work. Dumbledog will need a home committed to training, patience, consistency, and structure to help him grow into a well-mannered adult dog. With the right guidance and plenty of positive reinforcement, he has all the potential to become an amazing addition to a loving family. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful energy, and a lifetime of loyalty, Dumbledog may just be the perfect match for you. His adoption fee is $280, which includes his age appropriate vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current flea prevention, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed! Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL

Skellington

Husky

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Joliet, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Skellington! Skellington is a four year old Husky available for adoption. He was found a few weeks ago as a stray with a black hoodie on with skeleton bones and we were surprised that no one called looking for him. We checked our records and online reports and unforunately came up empty handed. Skellington does well with other dogs and wouldn`t mind a friend at home. He loves treats and likes to zoom throught the snow (of course). Yes, he is a handsome boy and an absolute goofy boy but he is also a Husky. Huskies like to run and need to be worked with. They like to go on long walks, can play for hours, and have the sassiest attitudes on top of everything. Skellington is doing well at the shelter and is very affectionate but don`t let his looks fool you. He has all the Husky attitude and sass and can be quite naughty! Huskies can be on a whole other level at times but with discipline, exercise, and training, they can be very rewarding and great companions! His adoption fee is $100, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed! Contact our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL

Puddin'

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 11 mos

Joliet, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Puddin’, a ten-month-old Pittie mix with a personality as memorable as her name! Puddin’ arrived as a timid stray and made quite the first impression by throwing up remnants of Hot Cheetos all over our floor — poor girl couldn’t resist the spicy snack, and it definitely didn’t agree with her stomach. Once she settled in and realized she was safe, Puddin’ began to blossom. Now, Puddin’ is a silly, comical, and energetic young dog who loves to zoom, bounce, and wrestle. She’s full of life and enthusiasm and is always ready for fun. Puddin’ is what we lovingly call a bit of a bulldozer — she’s strong, playful, and still working on her manners, so continued training will be important for her success. Puddin’ is looking for a home without small children (10+), cats, or small dogs. She does enjoy the company of larger dogs and tends to do best with male dogs, though she may do okay with a female with proper introductions. With structure, patience, and an active home ready to guide her, Puddin’ will make a wonderfully entertaining and loyal companion. If you’re looking for a goofy, high-energy pup who will keep you laughing, Puddin’ might just be your girl. Her adoption fee is $200, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay. She is already fixed! Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL.

Joliet, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Shamwow, a three-year-old Pit Bull Terrier with a personality just as bold as his stunning bright red brindle and white coat. Shamwow was brought to us as a stray and, sadly, no one ever came to reclaim him — but he hasn’t let that dim his joyful spirit one bit. This handsome boy is incredibly outgoing and absolutely loves to play. Whether it’s running around the yard, romping with doggy friends, or soaking up attention from his people, Shamwow is always ready for fun. He does great with other dogs and would love a home where he can have a canine buddy or regular playtime. Shamwow is looking for a family who will appreciate his playful energy, affectionate nature, and one-of-a-kind good looks. If you’re searching for a loyal, happy-go-lucky companion, Shamwow may be the perfect match for you! His adoption fee is $200, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed!

Sidra

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

Joliet, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Sidra, a sweet three-year-old Pittie with a heart as gentle as her eyes. When she came to us as a stray, Sidra was thin, full of parasites, and showed signs of a rough past. Now, with the care and love she deserves, she’s thriving and has discovered the joy of simple comforts—her own blanket, regular meals, and a safe space to call her own. Sidra adores affection and treats, and she loves earning them before plopping down beside you for some quiet companionship. She’s friendly with other dogs, so a mellow canine friend at home would be a great match. No small dogs or cats. Sidra is ready to find a loving family who will shower her with the care and attention she’s always deserved. Her adoption fee is $200, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay. She is already fixed!
