This is Zeus he was left with us his owner left him behind, I already have 2 dogs and just can't keep him. He is a wonderful sweet dog I know he's big but it's all heart! He just needs someone to love and snuggle on the couch with or go for a run as long as he's with you he'll be happy! He sits, lays down, and shakes hands. He loves all other dogs and loves the dog park. All he needs is a best friend.

Story
8 month old Pomeranian puppy AKC purebred - He is potty trained (whines/barks to go out), loves other dogs and people, very trainable, will stay quiet in kennel at night, LOVES to play and LOVES the outdoors. I’d prefer to home him with a family who has another (small) dog to play with and plenty of time to give him outside. Comes with kennel, bowls, food, harness, stroller, car seats, mesh backpack carrier, airplane mesh carrier, bones, treats, starter food, collar, leash, and outdoor agility training kit. He has had shots up to rabies, will provide medical records, no health problems, he is not neutered. 900 or best offer

Story
Miss Sadie was found outside our workshop in rural Saline County IL. She was cold, wet and HUNGRY! We have had her a few months looking for her owners. She is up to date on shots, has now been spayed and healed and has gained some weight. She is such a good girl, she gets along with our other dog and both cats that we are fostering and our grandchildren love her. We can’t keep her however due to our small house and already having one LARGE dog. She does like to be outside a lot too but has to be on a lead or in a fenced area or she will put her nose down and wander off. She will come with her bed, a bag of her favorite food and treats.

Story
I got Hank when he was a puppy from the shelter in Bloomington while I was in college. He is about a year and half old now (he will be 2 in March). Ideally Hank should be with someone who has a yard or land for him to explore. He is a high energy dog and loves to try to chase small animals like squirrels and rabbits. He’s a very loyal dog & protective of his owner & house. Some adjectives I would use to describe Hank are sweet, loving, funny, weird, anxious, protective, friendly, and loyal. Hank has some behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and some aggression towards other male dogs. He barks a lot when he is by himself because of his separation anxiety. This resulted in many noise complaints at my apartment. I would recommend whoever is interested in adopting Hank either works remote or has a house where noise complaints aren’t as much of an issue & can cage-train him. The adoption fee includes a cage, food, a dog bed, & his toys. He is up to date on all vaccines/neutered

Story
Luna is a great little puppers and in search of her furever home! She was an owner surrender due to no fault of her own and she would definitely make someone a fantastic family dog! She was in a home with a toddler and a baby and she reportedly did great with them! She is also so good with all the other dogs and would love nothing more than a family who has some doggo siblings for her to play with! She is also a bit scared of cats so a home with them would be totally fine since she just wants to stay far far away from them LOL! She's fantastic on a leash, does well in her kennel and her favorite trick is to shake your hand every chance she gets! She loves to play with toys and is such a good girl for still being a puppy. She doesn't even chew on things except for her toys or bones! She is super smart and undoubtedly would be a quick learner with literally anything! Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her DAPPV booster, deworming, spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine, heartworm test and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to set up an appointment to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Moose is the best name possible for this big boy considering he's as big as one! Talk about a GENTLE GIANT! He is your typical mastiff that is cool, calm and collected in any scenario. He NEVER makes a peep and just goes with the flow with everything you throw at him. He walked some of the parade and that was probably a week's worth of exercise to this lazy butt LOL! He loves going outside for about 10 mins then he's ready to come right back in, find a good spot on the floor and take a good, long nap. He is so patient and kind and would be phenomenal in a house with kids of any age. They can lay all over him or roll around the floor with him and it's not going to bother him in the slightest. As long as he's getting pet, he's one happy camper! He does awesome on a leash and even for his big size, a child could easily walk him since he stays in a heel position and never once pulls! He NEVER potties in his kennel so he is more than likely very house trained! He does fantastic with most dogs as long as they are as chill as him. He doesn't care much for dogs that are hyper and after him to play all the time since he's more of a couch potato! His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his DAPPV booster, deworming, current flea/tick, neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine, heartworm test and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come meet him! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.
