Holly

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Great Lakes, IL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Holly is a very energetic loving dog. She loves to play fetch and loves to play with other dogs. She is obsessed with water and will drink until she pops. She loves to drink out of toilets. She doesn’t know the difference between dog toys and kid toys. She will chase after birds and squirrels. She loves to be outside, especially at the dog park. I recently found out I am already to her so I have been unable to give her the love she needs. Her energy is also too much for my 4y/o daughter and she can get a little rough playing with my daughter. Holly will follow my daughter around everywhere outside, so she does like kids. She would probably do better with older children. She would come with whatever food is left, collar, leash, food and water bowls, shampoo, tooth brush items, dog bed, treats, and some toys. Adoption fee is negotiable.

Story

Hello everyone, We are making the incredibly difficult decision to rehome our beautiful Akita, Khaleesi. We are a military family being relocated to Spain. Unfortunately, Khaleesi currently requires CCL surgery. Between the recovery time she’ll need and the strict international quarantine requirements, making this move would be incredibly stressful and unfair to her. We want to do what is best for her and find her a loving home where she can heal comfortably. About Khaleesi: Temperament: She is an absolutely wonderful, gentle dog. Kid-Friendly: She lives with our one- and two-year-old toddlers and is fantastic with them. Dog-Friendly: She gets along beautifully with other dogs, both big and small. Health: She is fully up to date on all her shots through Banfield Pet Hospital. I have all her medical paperwork on hand for proof and transparency regarding her leg. If you or someone you know might be the right fit, or if you have any questions at all, please reach out!

Story

We have too many coyotes come visit our property. She deserves a safer environment.Hi, my name is Tallula, sometimes humans call me Lulu. I’m pretty amazing. I love roadtrips, sleeping under blankets and sunbathing. My greatest asset is my long legs. I throw them up high when it’s time to play. I’ve lived with free range chickens, cat, horses and a Great Pyrenees. My mom said I have too much freedom living on a farm. Sometimes there’s hawks and coyotes that visit and I prefer to be independent and lay in the sun.

Story

Nicholas is a gorgeous puppy. He loves to splash in the little pool with his puppy friends. Nicholas is learning how to walk on a leash, go up and down the stairs and to be comfortable with people. He and his littermates are perfect examples of why it's important to spay and neuter pets. They were part of an 'oops' litter. The owners were lucky that we were able to take in the puppies. Now it's time for them to find their forever homes, Whoever adopts Nichiolas will have a wonderful, sweet dog._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Nicholas is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET NicholasThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Nicholas and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
