Wilson

Pug

Male, Puppy

River Forest, IL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We bought Wilson from a breeder when he was a puppy. He is now 3.5years old and needs a family who will have time to train him and play with him. We have another older dog in the home and the two have been battling for alpha in the home by way of marking. Wilson does well with urinating outside but if left to freely roam in the home he needs to be monitored for urinating. He gets overly excited when he sees other dogs and barks at them. He has started biting the fence when the neighbor dog comes outside. He has a lot of energy and it is difficult for us to take him for walks with 2 young children. He has not been properly trained which we think he would benefit greatly from. He sleeps with our son in his bed and does well with the kids, but again is overly excited most of the time. We are hoping to find a home where he will get more attention and walks to be able to enjoy his life to the fullest.

Story

This is Bruno, he is just under two years. I got him from a family I believe at 6 months. I don’t know his breed I can only guess. I asked the vet for a DNA test to find his breed and they said they don’t do that. His birthday is March 30th. He is a very special dog and it pains me to give him up. I am relocating and I can’t find a place that accepts dogs. By the looks of it we will both be homeless, come April 1st. I rather he go to a good home than the both of us on the street. Landlords are being so strict these days. I had 2 cats and life was perfect until it wasn’t. Bruno loves to play and cuddle, he will follow you to the end of the earth. I’m really loosing my best friend, I’m crying writing this post. He is house trained, knows English and Spanish commands like sit. Down. Paw. He loves long walks, toys treats etc.. great with kids he just wants love and attention. He has a lot of love to give. Love that I will miss dearly. Text me for a faster response (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Special Needs

Graham

Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Male, Adult

Franklin Park, IL

Size

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

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Graham is 4.5 years old. He loves people, playing fetch and back scratches! When he is not playing or wanting pets he is an independent dog who likes his space. He's smart and a pro at solving dog puzzles! He would thrive in a house with a yard. As a puppy, graham had menengitis which has resulted in anxiety/reactivity. While he is currently free of any symptoms there is a risk he could relapse. Because of his menengitis, his vets have medically advised he not get vaccinations. In the future it is possible to get vaccinations, but there are risks of a vaccine triggering symptoms. While healthy and active now, his health as a puppy has resulted in Graham being dog reactive. He would do best alone or with a family willing to slowly introduce Graham. Additionally, he is on anxiety medication for separation anxiety. Graham is potty trained, working on crate training, and knows all basic commands. He just needs a home willing to be patient and work through his reactivity and separation.
