Story

Taz is a 1-year-old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He's a very thin 8-pounds, but he's already filling out with good food and lots of love. Taz was terrified at animal control, and with his foster for the first couple of days. He needs to figure out you're not trying to hurt him, and then he will come BEGGING for the love and belly rubs. He still gets a little overstimulated at times. So, you just have to follow his signals. He will crawl into your lap and lick your face until you're sure you have no face left. Ha! No young children in the home please. This poor guy has suffered enough in his short life. All he needs is a loving home with pawrents who can continue to help his trust of people grow every day. Taz gets along well with other small dogs, is pretty quiet so far, and rides fine in a car. He does well on a leash also. Taz has really come out of his shell. He loves playing with other small dogs, and has filled out nicely. He is now a healthy 10-pounds. This young cutie is going to make someone very happy!

Clyde

Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos

Normal, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We can't have a Bonnie without a Clyde! Clyde was terrified at animal control, and he showed teeth to just about everyone. He LOVES other dogs, and quickly started to trust his foster mom. Sometimes, they just need patience and love. This is why foster families are SO important! Clyde was at risk of euthanasia due to his fear-based aggression. This poor little guy was just misunderstood. He is only a year old, and he is a little plump at 12-pounds. We think he's likely a Chihuahua/JRT mix. Clyde must have another friendly dog in his forever home. He would be best in a family without young children. Someone who can continue to help him to trust strangers would be ideal. Clyde is good on a leash, in the car, likes to cuddle, and he likes to play. He is fine in a crate, but you have to let him come out on his own time. He is terrified if you try to pull him out manually. Can you help bring joy to a little lad like Clyde? If so, he promises to return that love in spades. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $325. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.

Molly

Chihuahua

Female, 8 yrs 5 mos

Normal, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Behind those sweet little eyes, miss Molly has had quite the past before being rescued. Molly is a 5-year-old, 7-pound Chihuahua. She was recovered from a hoarding home that had caught on fire. When officials pulled Molly from the home she was not breathing, and her gums were blue from lack of oxygen and smoke inhalation! She was rushed to our vet clinic where she was hospitalized to save her life. While there they discovered she was pregnant. She recovered well with vet care but unfortunately, she lost her puppies as they were born premature due to the stress of the fire and her rescue. Molly is still shy and prefers to watch the action from a safe and comfy blanket. But, she is opening up a little more each day. Molly will come snuggle next to you for some pets and attention (especially if treats are involved). She would be best in a home with another dog who is confondent and friendly. Molly does well with dogs her size but has not been around large dogs, cats, or small children due to her nervousness. She can be crated, doesn’t mind car rides, and likes time out of doors. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog Her minimum adoption donation amount is $325. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea and heart worm preventatives.

Zoey

Miniature Schnauzer

Female, Senior

Normal, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Zoey is a 12-year-old miniature schnauzer mix weighing 21 lbs. This lovely senior girl does have a grade 4/6 heart murmur, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life’s little pleasures. Zoey is low energy and perfectly content with short strolls, a little time in the yard, or a cozy car ride. She’s house-trained (goes potty outside) and also paper trained, making her easy to manage. She doesn’t use a crate in her foster home. She gets along well with other dogs and is curious but respectful with cats. While she hasn’t been around kids in our care, her gentle nature suggests she could adjust to a calm, patient household. Zoey is described as friendly, adaptable, happy, and playful—though she does take a little time to warm up. Once she feels safe, she’ll happily follow you around, ask for treats, and even get a little playful. She loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom and will reward patience with loyal companionship. Zoey would thrive in a home where her people are around more often, but she also does well being left alone if she has other dogs for company. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted friend to share your days with, Zoey would love to be your little shadow. Zoey is heartworm positive. Wish Bone will continue to provide treatment through our vet or by providing the medication to the adopter's vet. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

They’re looking for a forever home that will keep them together and shower them with the love they so freely give. If you’ve got space in your heart (and on your couch) for two tiny lovebugs, BayBay and Poco are ready to fill it. 💞 Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog The minimum adoption donation amount for both together is $550.
