Story
Introducing Wyatt! Wyatt is 10 month old Shepard Mix. He is young, spunky, and full of fun energy! He enjoys going on long walks and playing with toys. He will need some help with his obedience training, but he is very smart and a fast learner! He would make a wonderful family dog, as he gets along with other dogs and children. Thank you! The NAWS Dog Adoption Program operates as a rescue versus a shelter. We believe in matching the right dog with the appropriate family based on each specific dog or family's needs. To achieve this, we believe in spending the appropriate amount of time with each family to allow for enough interaction time with potential adopters. This cannot be achieved if people stop by unexpectedly to meet our dogs. Please submit an application at www.NAWSUS.org under the Pet Adoption tab to setup a day or time to meet with one of our adoption counselors and our potential adoptees. Thank you!

Meet Quincy! This handsome 2 year old came to us all the way from Tennessee! He keeps his crate very clean and gets along well with other dogs. He has a lot of energy and loves to play, but also calms down and just wants to snuggle. Quincy would make a great addition to any family!

Story
Rehoming my dog is truly one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. Due to personal medical reasons, Im no longer able to give him the full care and attention he deserves, and I want to make sure he finds a loving home where he can continue to thrive. Milo is almost 6 years old (born December 20, 2019) and I’ve been his only owner since the day he was born. Hes grown up around my three young children (ages 3, 2, and newborn) and does great with them. The only time he gets a little agitated is when his sleep is interrupted & he might show his teeth to say “I’m tired!” but he has never bitten anyone. Milo is a playful, loyal, and cuddly boy with such a big heart. He lives for dog park visits, absolutely hates bath time (be prepared for the dramatic struggle 😂), and loves any kind of toy; especially his lamb chop plushies. Once he feels safe and comfortable with you, he becomes incredibly affectionate and will happily snuggle up next to you.

Story
FOSTERED IN: Chicago, IL 60619 ESTIMATED DOB: 2013 WEIGHT: 9.5 lbs KIDS: Older DOGS: Yes CATS: Yes HISTORY: Motor came to us from a local Animal Control facility where he was turned in as a stray. ABOUT: Motor’s foster mom said he is a “pretty regular dog.” Motor is cuddly and loves attention. He is smart and quickly and easily adapts to your schedule. He is very food motivated for any training needs. His foster mom says he sometimes “doesn’t hear you” the first time you ask, but does as asked if you repeat yourself. Motor is good on leash and enjoys going for walks. He also enjoys lounging outside when the weather is nice, but isn’t a fan of very hot weather. He is a little anxious in the car and gives a quiet whine until he gets to the destination. Motor knows both sit and come. He also enjoys stuffed toys (especially if you play with him), but the rope toys with stuffies on the end only collect dust. Motor has been fine with everyone he has met both inside and outside the home, he seems to be pretty easy going with new people and doesn’t get overly excited. He seems to look to his foster mom for guidance on how to act with new people. Motor’s foster mom keeps him gated in one room of the house when no one is home, but even at 13 he has come up with some creative solutions to get under or over it. His foster mom said “I guess you can say he is really not closed off” 🤣 Motor is being fostered with a cat and other dogs and he has done well with both. Motor is not being fostered with children, but his foster thinks he will do fine with kids old enough to be respectful of a senior dog. Motor is housetrained, but like many male dogs he likes to do the occasional recreational peep, but he is agreeable to wearing belly bands to control this. Motor will bark to let you know he needs a potty break. Being a senior fellow, Motor will probably thrive in a home with a reasonable amount of routine and consistency. Are you looking to add an easy going, friendly, “regular” guy to your home? You can find our adoption application on our website: www.luluslockerrescue.org. Motor knows better than to bother a cat: https://youtube.com/shorts/VY6qgxavOp8
