Story
Meet Jillian, an 8 year old Belgian Malnois mix who recently came to us from another shelter. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and with Jillian you won't have to! This girl is super smart and knows a variety of commands! She knows sit, down, paw, drops her toys when asked, and waits when asked. THIS is why older dogs rock! Don't let this white face beauty spend her golden years in a shelter. She's the loyal companion

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kimber is sweet, lovable, curious, playful and talkative. Kimber loves being around people. She has a lot of energy and loves to run and play outside. She enjoys going on walks and does well on a leash. She will bark and/or run to the back door and nudge it or a bell to go to the bathroom. She loves to share an apple and enjoys some carrot and celery bites in her breakfast. Toys that are furry or have stuffing seem to irritate her and make her cough a lot. She loves toys that squeak. She likes other dogs but sometimes gets pushy when they don't want to play anymore. She plays best with a dog her size that has strong alpha tendencies. She does not get along with cats

Story
Due to the recent fire at our shelter, all of our animals are in foster homes. All animals are still available for adoption, please submit an application online so you can meet your new best friend!Cookie came to us in pretty bad shape. She had an awful skin infection, giant mass, and luxating patellas. Cookie has had a rough time at such a young age! After multiple surgeries and plenty of TLC by her lovely foster mama, she's now ready for a home! Cookie can be slow to meet new people, so she will need a quiet home with no children.

Doyle (Foster Home)

Collie

Male, Adult
Tinley Park, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We first introduced you to Doyle, a 1-year-old collie back in January. He was just starting to come out of his shell and we knew he would just blossom once in a home and guess what...he is! Doyle went into foster with one of our amazing volunteers and they confirmed that he is. He does great with other dogs and is getting more and more playful. Doyle would benefit most from another social dog around to help him continue to come out of his shell. He is pretty much house trained just needs some coaxing sometimes to go out. He is still frightened of loud or sudden noises. Doyle loves to go for walks, once coaxed out the door. He is also crate trained. He's getting more and more affectionate...once he knows you.

Story
SUPER sweet Bandit is an affectionate, curious, bouncy good boy. He's crate trained and eager to learn commands. He enjoys walks, loves playing and zooming with his fur-siblings, and likes to be the little spoon during cuddle time. He's a bit nervous when meeting new people and needs help building his confidence in his new home. If you like a lap dog and don't mind puppy kisses, Bandit might be your guy!
