Story
Monty is ready to find his forever home! This handsome boy is much smaller than he looks, weighing in around 30lbs. We do not know what type of doggie he is but he seems to be some sort of golden mix (no guarantees). Monty has a heart full of love waiting to be shared with an understanding family. He loves nothing more than being by your side, whether it's hanging in the backyard or lounging together on lazy afternoons. Monty is a loving and playful companion who thrives on affection and belly rubs. One of his hugs will warm your heart right up! He is the perfect snuggle partner to unwind with at the end of the day. Despite his past, he has shown incredible affection for people who show him kindness. Monty has got along with just about every dog that he has met (if another dog growls at him first he tends to hold a grudge). He can also be a little bratty at the vet, but hey, it can be scary for doggies! We'd recommend no cats or small animals - unfortunately he "played a little too rough" with a bunny in the yard once. We also think that he would be best in a family without small children - Monty needs his space and he needs to be left alone until he can trust. Monty is heartworm positive and his adopters will have to working with us while he is undergoing treatment. Heartworm disease is NOT contagious to you or your other pets, and despite what you may read online it is not extremely challenging to manage. Monty just won't be able to go running with you until he is heartworm negative. Vet appointments will be in Lisle, IL. He is a total sweetheart and would be a great addition to your family. Please consider applying to adopt this gorgeous boy today! sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: despite what Petfinder, AdoptaPet and other aggregation services say, the FIRST STEP is to submit an application on our website, not message us through their online portals. Thank you!)

Story
Meet Ms. Scooby! This sweet girl is an adorable young adult (estimated birthday 10/21/2024) who weighs about 40 lbs and is ready to charm her way into the perfect home. Ms. Scooby is potty trained, playful, and full of curiosity. She has an adorable habit of tilting her head as if she’s truly listening to every word you say! Ms. Scooby can be shy when meeting new people, especially men, but she warms up with patience, routine, and gentle encouragement. She never shows aggression—she simply prefers to take her time deciding who gets to be part of her inner circle. Once you’re in, you’re in. She loves kids and gets a little excited around them because she has a big heart and lots of energy to share. She’s also been around cats with no negative reactions, and she enjoys playing with other dogs—especially her current canine buddies. Some of Ms. Scooby’s favorite things include: > Snuggles and praise (she beams when you tell her she’s a good girl!) > Her green squeaky alligator toy > Head scratches, belly rubs, and being close to her people > Keeping tabs on everything—she’d make an excellent “private investigator” of the household > Running and playing in the yard for as long as you’ll let her She may back away if you’re holding something unfamiliar—like a magazine—so a calm, reassuring home will help her continue to build confidence. Ms. Scooby would thrive with a patient adopter who will let her come out of her shell at her own pace. A home with another playful dog or active humans would be a huge bonus—this girl loves to move, explore, and be part of the action! If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a goofy, inquisitive spirit, Ms. Scooby might be your perfect match.
