Story
Zeus is an amazing dog, he is good with kids, cats, snakes and all sorts of breeds. It breaks my heart to have to rehome him but my daughter has been struggling through asthma. They recommended she not be around him but that's quite impossible as they love him. He turned 6yrs old December of 2025. We removed him off listing because it breaks our heart letting him go, but his brother got rehomed, and he needs more love than we can give him.

Story
I'm a sweet boy but am having issues with apartment living as I get older. My dad wants to give me a chance to have more space and opportunities for outdoor activities in my golden years. The vet says I still have the health and energy of a puppy. If you need a partner for outdoor adventures without the mischief of a puppy, I could be the one for you.

Story
Everest is a wonderful and hilarious companion. He is still growing and is a super lanky boy. He is about 6 months old! He is so sweet and can be just the best boy. He is playful and very vocal during (sounds like Chewbacca)! He is expected to be a large dog and needs room to run but in a tall fenced in area. He is still working on potty training but will let you know when he needs to go! He has been great with both dogs and cats and people of course! Divorcing has meant we are unable to care for the dogs alone with our current jobs. Everest deserves better than just one of us can provide. We are hoping to find an active family for this guy. He would also do great on a farm.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chop is an active and sweet boy. He is about 5 years old and was rescued from a neglectful situation. We were blessed to have him as a part of our family for 9 months. But unfortunately due to new circumstances and busy schedules we need to find him a new home. Chop needs to have an experienced owner with PLENTY of time to continue his training. Although he gets along with other dogs, he would do better in a home as the only dog as he likes to have all the attention on him. We love this boy so so much and that means we have to let him go to someone that can provide him with the time and focus he deserves. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INQUIRING: X does not do well kenneled X needs an experienced owner X preferred only dog in home X needs let out to potty every 4 hours X needs special sensitive stomach/skin food

American Pit Bull Terrier

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

Story
Lola is a sweet and cuddly girl. She gets along with our other male and female dogs. We adopted Lola from Sangamon County Animal Control in August of 2025. They estimated her to be 2 years old at that time. We had 3 other dogs and 6 cats and 1 bird at the time. Over time, her aggression has increased toward our bird and our cats. She hurt one of our cats, which is why we are seeking to rehome her now. We have enjoyed Lola. She loves cuddles, pets, and playing. You do have to be consistent with taking her outside or she will have accidents in the house. She is crate trained, but prefers not to be in her kennel. We no longer believe we are the best fit for Lola's home. We are seeking a home that will be a better fit for her. NO CATS. We don't have children, so we don't know how she would do with them. She is a good girl and deserves a loving home that fits her.
