Story
Medusa is a 4 year old german shepherd (turning 5 in October). We took in Medusa when she was about 4 months old from a family friend. We were told she was a pure german shepherd although she didn’t grow to be as large as one. We suspect she may be mixed or perhaps a runt but from the way she looks you can’t even tell. Medusa is very protective and loving but can be very energetic and jumpy. She loves to be around people but tends to get too excited and has a jumping problem. She has been good around our children who are mostly older. She does have a problem with “fighting” our larger male dog but we presume it may just be for dominance reasons. As mentioned, she loves attention and in the past has even faked an injury so she can be near us. Medusas worst quality is her hatred for the vet. She has thrown huge fits and taken off muzzles. Recently with a new family member it’s been especially hard to care for her properly and we think it’s best she finds someone with more time for her.

Story
Fitzgerald (Fitz) is a sweet boy who doesn't shed! He loves long walks and is a sleeper. He is about 4years old and we have had him since he was a puppy. He is on 60mg of Prozac for anxiety. He is reactive and resource guards people and places. He is very protective of me and has bitten my 60 year old mother a few times when we are both in the kitchen and come in contact with one another. The vet believes he does not need to be put down but could benefit from a fresh start. He is ok with other dogs, but some times they stress him out. He is good with cats. Given his history I would recommend a home with no children or dogs. I can no longer keep him.

Story
I’m Manny, a 12 year old, 20 pound, male Corgi mix. I’m looking for a special home to spend my golden years. I’m very loving and get along with dogs and cats. I take my time warming up to new things. I am house trained. I am blind but get around fine and have no problem with stairs. In my past life I was very secluded and not cared for. That gave me some triggers. Well really just one — gates, any kind of gate. Because of Manny’s nervousness and past life, we will plan of multiple meetings. Also, Manny will need to be adopted within 50 miles of Flossmoor, IL. Manny is microchipped as well as up to date on vaccines, monthly preventatives. He has had a dental. Manny’s adoption fee is $150. If you are think you are Manny’s special someone, please visit heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your adoption application.
