Story

Looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly dramatic new best friend? Meet Mounds, a sweet and sassy Husky with a heart of gold and a love for soft couches (and even softer stuffy toys). This gorgeous girl is a total people pup — she adores human attention and is especially gentle and affectionate with kids. Mounds is a bit of a diva when it comes to other animals and prefers to be the one and only furry queen of her castle. But don’t worry — she’s got more than enough love, personality, and fluff to fill your whole home! While she enjoys a nice walk to stretch those legs and sniff the neighborhood, Mounds is truly a couch potato at heart. Her favorite activities include lounging, snuggling, and having long, expressive “conversations” once she knows and trusts you. (Did we mention she’s a Husky? She’s got stories to tell!) If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with a love for lazy days, squeaky toys, and heart-to-heart chats, Mounds might just be your perfect match.

He’s always up for outdoor fun—whether it’s long walks or play sessions in the yard, he brings a joyful energy that’s contagious.

Clifford

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Clifford! Clifford is a loving, playful boy whose true personality shines outside of the shelter. While the shelter environment has been tough on him—especially being around other dogs—he blossoms beautifully in a home setting. Once he feels safe and relaxed, Clifford becomes the fun-loving, affectionate companion he was meant to be. In a home, Clifford is polite, housebroken, and crate trained. He especially loves spending time at the park and playing fetch—his favorite way to bond with his people. While he’s not a fan of most other dogs (which adds to his stress at the shelter), we’ve been working with him, and he’s making great progress. He tends to do better with dogs who enjoy being chased and give him space, rather than those who are overly forward. Clifford is a sweetheart at heart—he just needs the right family to take him away from the stress of shelter life and give him the patience and love he’s so ready to return. If you're looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion who thrives in a home and lives for playtime and connection, Clifford is ready to meet you.

He lives for belly rubs, ear scratches, and all the pets he can get. A total lovebug through and through, Deep Dish is the kind of companion who makes every day brighter just by being himself.
