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
Meet Bart Simpson! Don’t let the name fool youthis Bart is much sweeter than mischievous! This adorable, scruffy little guy is a happy, outgoing, curious puppy who loves everyone he meets. At just 4 months old, Bart is full of puppy energy and is always ready to see what his foster family is up to. If there’s something happening, you can bet Bart wants in on the action! Bart is crate trained and working hard on his potty training. He loves kids and gets along great with other dogs. His favorite activities include playing with toys, romping around with his doggy friends, following his foster family from room to room, and squeezing in as many snuggles as possible. He is incredibly affectionate and just might be the sweetest little Bart Simpson you'll ever meet! Like most 4-month-old puppies, Bart is still learning the ropes. He doesn't particularly enjoy being left alone and is learning that his people really do come back. His new family will need to be patient and understanding as he continues learning about potty training, crate time, basic manners, and all the other important lessons that come with being a puppy. Bart would do well with a family who has the time, patience, and commitment to help a puppy grow into a happy, well-mannered adult dog. Continued training, socialization, positive reinforcement, and plenty of playtime will help this little guy thrive. Bart may be named after Springfield's most famous troublemaker, but his biggest crimes are likely to be stealing toys, sneaking in extra snuggles, and following you everywhere you go.  If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy who wants to be your sidekick for all of life's adventures, Bart Simpson is ready to meet you. Just be prepared for lots of puppy kisses, zoomies, and a whole lot of love!   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 ##2843637##

Story
Meet Kibble! Kibble is a sweet 2-year-old Terrier mix with a happy personality, a playful spirit, and so much love to give! She came to rescue from Tunica, Mississippi, and is ready to find a patient family who will continue helping her learn, grow, and thrive. Kibble is potty trained, crate trained, and does great with other dogs. She loves being around her people and enjoys having dog friends to play with. She happily plays with her Chihuahua foster sibling and isn’t intimidated by the big hound mix in her foster home. Kibble truly just wants to be part of the fun! Kibble’s favorite things include: Her Toys  Chew toys Neighborhood walks Playtime with her people and dog friends Companionship and being included in family activities Giving lots of kisses! Kibble may be 2 years old, but she still has plenty of puppy energy! She is curious, playful, and sometimes needs reminders about what belongs to her and what doesn’t. She may try to “help” herself to tissues from the Kleenex box or mistake a harness for a chew toy, so she will need a family who can provide supervision, appropriate toys, and continued training. Kibble is not a big fan of her crate and may cry at first, but she settles quickly. Her foster family has learned she does best with safe collar and harness management, as her curious nature can sometimes get her into silly situations. Kibble would thrive with someone who has the time to play with her, exercise her, and give her the attention she loves. She is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys both human companionship and the company of other dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion with a little puppy mischief mixed in, Kibble may be your perfect match! She’s ready to bring her kisses, wiggles, and fun personality to her forever home.   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 ##2843377##

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.
