Story
Maddie is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart—and then naturally makes herself part of your life. Sweet, steady, and deeply affectionate, she has a calm confidence that makes her feel instantly familiar, like a dog you’ve known much longer than you have. At about five years old, Maddie is a medium-sized mixed breed with an extraordinary history of care and devotion. She arrived at Adoptable Friends with her eight puppies and was a patient, gentle, and unwaveringly attentive mother. She was a calm, nurturing presence for her litter, guiding them with ease and kindness. Maddie is incredibly people-oriented and greets life with an open heart. She doesn’t hesitate with strangers—she assumes they’re friends. She enjoys being part of daily life and is happiest when she’s included, whether that’s quiet time at home, walks through the neighborhood, or simply being near her people as the day unfolds. She would do best in a home that wants a true companion dog—one that includes her in everyday routines and sees her as part of the family, not just a pet on the sidelines. Maddie is adaptable, affectionate, and eager to connect, making her an easy fit for someone looking for a steady, loving presence in their home. Maddie is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed. Her adoption fee is $400. Maddie is ready for the kind of home where she can finally belong fully—not just as a rescue dog with a past, but as someone’s chosen companion moving forward. In return, she offers something simple and rare: steady love, quiet joy, and a dog who is truly happy just to be with you.

Story
Meet Fiona: the gentle girl who will quietly steal your heart. Fiona is a 45-pound mixed-breed sweetheart with a soft spirit, a goofy smile, and an incredible talent for making people feel loved. Shortly after meeting a new friend, she quietly walked over and rested her head in their lap. That’s Fiona: affectionate without being demanding, social without being clingy, and wonderfully gentle. Give her a good butt scratch and her whole face lights up. Stop petting, and she may lean her body into you as a subtle request for more. Talk to her and her tail starts softly wagging. She loves sniffing, walks, treats, cuddles, zoomies - and will even do zoomies on command! She takes treats exceptionally gently and seems eager to connect and learn. She keeps her kennel very clean and may already be housetrained, though her home manners are still unknown. She has done well with the dogs she has met and especially seems to enjoy puppies. Fiona was born around April 2025, and she has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is extremely healthy and ready for her chance at a forever home. Her adoption fee is $400. If this sweet, kind-hearted girl sounds like your kind of dog, please apply today! Fill out an application at: https://www.adoptablefriends.org/adopt

Story
Moe is a young Boxer mix with a big personality and a loving heart. He’s potty trained, crate trained, listens well, and does great with other dogs. Moe is generally good-natured and likes to stay close to his people—he enjoys being part of whatever’s going on. Moe loves toys and snuggles and has an active, playful side that will thrive with an engaged family. He would do best in an active home that can provide structure, exercise, and continued training. Because Moe can get mouthy during play, he should not be placed in a home with small children. Moe will need an experienced dog owner. While he shows no signs of aggression in daily life, he has reacted with little warning when medications are applied to his ears or skin during treatment for infections. Outside of these situations, he is affectionate and stable. His future family should be comfortable working with a veterinarian and using management strategies for medical care. One thing to note—Moe is curious and a known countertop surfer! Food should be kept out of reach, as he won’t hesitate to help himself if given the chance. Moe is looking for a knowledgeable, active home that understands his needs and will love him for the fun, loyal companion he is. With the right fit, Moe will be a devoted sidekick ready for adventure, play, and plenty of cuddle time.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Dudley is an adorable German Shepherd mix puppy who is almost 4 months old and ready to find his forever family! Dudley came into rescue with his sister, Dora, and is now getting to enjoy all the fun that comes with being a puppy. He is affectionate, curious, playful, and full of puppy energy and love. Like most puppies his age, Dudley is still learning all about the world and what it means to be a good dog. His new family should be prepared for all the fun—and occasional chaos—that comes with puppyhood, including continued potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, chewing, playtime, and plenty of naps! Dudley is expected to grow into a large dog, so his family should be prepared for a big pup who will need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training as he grows. German Shepherd mixes are often smart and active, and Dudley will thrive with a family who is ready to help him learn and keep his growing mind and body busy. This handsome boy is looking for a family who will be patient, consistent, and committed to helping him become the best adult dog he can be. In return, Dudley promises to fill your home with puppy kisses, goofy antics, zoomies, and lots of love. If you're ready for the adventure of raising a big, lovable puppy, Dudley is ready to meet you!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2843648##

Story
Meet Stevie Nicks! At just about 5 months old, Stevie Nicks is already stealing hearts everywhere she goes! This absolutely adorable Terrier mix is the perfect combination of sweet, cuddly companion and fun-loving puppy—and she’s ready to find her forever family. Stevie’s story didn’t start out quite as happily as she deserves. She was called in as a stray and ended up at a shelter, but thankfully her story didn’t end there. Now she’s getting the chance to show everyone what a wonderful little girl she really is. Stevie is working hard on her potty training and making great progress! She is already crate trained, does well on a leash, and has good leash manners for a puppy her age. She also enjoys playing with other dogs, so having a canine friend could be a fun bonus for her. But Stevie’s favorite thing? HER PEOPLE! She is incredibly sweet and cuddly, loves attention and hugs, and would be very happy snuggled up next to her favorite human. Of course, she is still a puppy, which means she also has an energetic side! Stevie loves to play, chase her toys, and break out into some serious puppy zoomies.  Her favorite things include: Chew toys Zoomies Cuddles and attention TREATS… TREATS… and MORE TREATS! Stevie would love an active family who wants a dog to join them on walks, hikes, runs, and all sorts of adventures. But after a day of fun, she’ll be more than happy to curl up with you for some well-deserved cuddle time. Her perfect family will also understand that puppies are still learning. Stevie is going to need patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and a little grace as she continues learning her manners and growing into the amazing adult dog she’s meant to be. Stevie may have had a rough start, but this sweet girl has so much love, fun, and puppy happiness ahead of her. If you’re looking for an adorable little adventure buddy who will happily trade her zoomies for cuddles—and probably a few treats along the way—Stevie Nicks might just be your girl.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2835391##
