Story
Nina is Mexican. She came to our family 5 years ago, when she was 7 weeks old. She's a covid baby, and this, along with her breed characteristics, make her easily frightened of other dogs, but not agressive (when we travel she has stayed with people with other dogs and she only evades them and adapts... with some warnings from time to time) She's an amazing house dog. She loves people! If you pet her, she's yours forever :) She's not noisy, she's obedient, not destructive and loving and needy. She's not very active, because of her fear, she prefers shorter walks but she loves walking in the woods. From time to time she pees inside but other than that, she's a very good dog. She only needs love and belly rubs. She's healthy as well. She has never bit anyone or been aggresive. She tolerates kids but she's not a fan; especially if they're intrusive to her space or peace... if not, she's nice and loving. She's tender and nice. She needs more attention than this family can give her.

Story
We are looking to rehome our sweet 8.5 year old lab/corgi mix. She is a really sweet pup but cannot be in a house with small children or other dogs. We have had Lulu for 6+ years and she has always been fearful and a bit nippy at children. - not good with other dogs or children. -She is good with our cat- Lulu loves walks but is reactive to other dogs, crossing the street and using her vibrating collar is necessary. She needs a confident owner who can walk her and get her back on track when distracted by dogs. Does best with fenced in yard -2 chronic (easily managed) medical conditions, for thyroid and seizures. Daily medication necessary and easily given. Medicine is inexpensive. -loves pets, belly rubs and to cuddleWe will provide the remaining medicine food/treats, and her vibrating collar, leash, beds, treats, flea/tick medicine that we haveLulu truly is a wonderful dog but needs a different environment as she cannot be around children

Story
Meet CashCash is a sweet, loving Goldendoodle who simply wants to be near his people. Whether you're working, cooking, watching TV, or relaxing, he'll happily lay nearby and keep you company.Cash loves walks, playing fetch, and exploring the world around him. He's curious, energetic, and enjoys being active, but he also settles down nicely indoors and is a calm, well-mannered companion. He is house-trained, sleeps through the night, eats well, walks nicely on a leash, and gets along with children and other dogs.

Story
Meet Oscar! He is currently located in Des Plaines, IL. He is 5, and we've been told he is a lab mix, though we're pretty sure he is some type of terrier (Boston, Bull) mixed with boxer. He is 50lbs. He is goofy, very well-trained- he was crate-trained as a puppy, and he is amazing on a leash. He is pretty scared of a lot of things, so he needs someone who is confident to lead him. Older kids could be okay-so long as they've been taught how to care for dogs. My kids were 12 when we adopted him at 7 weeks old.He was raised with a cat, but other dogs intimidate him unless they are super chill. It's best he's the only dog. He has sensitive skin and allergies to chicken and legumes. He has taken to having his kibble mixed with Honest Kitchen re-hydrated food with warm water. If its just kibble he will not eat it. (We use Stella & Chewy's legume-free Beef.)He's not overly fond of the snow, so that's hard. He is a sun worshipper; if you have a sunny spot, he will find it, and it will be his!

Story
One year old Syberian Husky. She’s the sweetest puppy that you can find. Playful, loving, and super full of energy. A little crazy as well and will occasionally talk back. Enjoys her walks and playing fetch. We’re looking to rehome her as we’re not able to care for her anymore. We’d love for her to find a loving home with parents that will spoil her and give her the attention and love she deserves.
