Jordan- Male Rottweiler/ Pointer Mix Meet Jordan! Jordan was adopted as a puppy from TAPS Pekin, IL, but was recently returned when a child in the home developed allergies.This 7-year old is a friendly boy that could stand to lose a few pounds.😚 Jordan enjoys walks, so a committed adopter shouldn’t have any problem getting him back into top form. Jordan keeps a clean kennel, so we are assuming he is potty-trained. Let’s get this boy into a FOREVER home. Go to tapsshelter.org to apply. — at TAPS Pekin, IL.

Story
Sox is an 8-month old male terrier mix that is shy but very loving. He is currently in a foster home and thriving. He does well with our large and small dogs. He needs a home that is not super busy and without children (younger ones at least; quiet, older ones who can give some space may be acceptable to him). If you have a calm, predictable home, he may be a good fit as he needs to feel comfortable with his surroundings to open up. Once he does, he loves to collect all the toys and chew bones, cuddle with you, and give sweet little kisses. Sox Male Terrier mix
