Story
Hi my name is Jingles. I am 5 year old easy going Beagle. I am always excited to see you walk through the door and do a little happy dance when you get home. I love to cuddle up on the couch with you or go on an evening walk. I do well on leash and interact good with strangers and other dogs when on our walks. I am potty trained to go outside when provided the opportunity. I keep my barking to a minimum and try to only do it when I need to go outside to potty. My current parents have a toddler, cat, and another dog at home who I do very well with. When my current parents go to work, I do well in my kennel. I am up to date on all my veterinary needs and my parents have the paperwork for you. Unfortunately my parents are taking on a new job, want the best for me by making sure I go to a home that has the time for me. I look forward to meeting my next family. My current parents are willing to send my kennel and harness/leash with me when I go and let you know what food I like.

Meet Link! 🐶💙 Link is a 1-year-old Pit Bull mix bursting with playful energy and irresistible charm. This handsome boy is athletic, active, and always ready for his next adventure. If there’s fun to be had, Link wants to be right in the middle of it! He loves playing outside, stretching his legs, and sniffing around to see what exciting discoveries the day might bring. Curious and bright, Link is always exploring his surroundings and taking it all in. He would thrive in a home that can keep up with his active lifestyle and give him plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Link also enjoys spending time with his canine friends and has a blast playing and socializing. He’s the kind of dog who would love a buddy to romp around with or regular playdates to burn off that happy energy. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, athletic companion who will keep you smiling and moving, Link is ready to be your new best friend. He's available for foster or adoption at the Animal Protective League, located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m.

Story
Meet Dutchess! 💕👑 Dutchess is a beautiful 3-year-old Lab/Pit mix with a calm confidence and a heart full of love. She’s a smart, independent girl who catches on quickly and takes everything in stride. Whether she’s learning something new or settling into a routine, Dutchess is always paying attention. She’s incredibly sweet with people and truly enjoys being around her humans. At the same time, she appreciates having her own space now and then — the perfect balance of affectionate and self-assured. Dutchess is quiet, thoughtful, and carries herself with a gentle grace that makes her such a special companion. The outdoors is her happy place! She absolutely lights up when it’s time for a walk and would love a home where she can explore, sniff, and enjoy fresh air regularly. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and easygoing best friend who will happily walk by your side (and then relax nearby at home), Dutchess is ready to start her next chapter with you. She's available for foster or adoption at the Animal Protective League, located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
