Story
Pickles was found by a crew of Site Conservation Technicians at Horseshoe Lake State Park in Madison County, IL. In July 2025. As of today no one has claimed him and he has been fostered by one of the technicians since then. The technician position is a temporary job and they will be out of work soon and will no longer be able to care for the dog so rehoming is critical at this time as all other shelters are full. He is both sweet and friendly as well as protective and obedient. Loves to travel and be by your side as much as possible. He requires time, patience, and a lot of exercise. He is no more than a year old according to the vet and up to date on all vaccines, as well as neutered. He has a basket of chew toys, food & water bowls, bedding, winter dog boots, and a harness. I can also accommodate with an outdoor run/lead system if necessary, keep in mind he is short haired and can get cold.

Story
Meet Bea! She is a friendly, cuddly, playful young lady (about 7 or 8 months old). Treat motivated and eager to please, Bea loves frisbee and fetch, walks well on a leash (unless there are squirrels or gusts of dry leaves) and will sit and stay. Adopted Bea from someone who had her in a tiny cage outside all day, but they had children who she was very good with. I work 50-60hrs a week, so she is lonely and training is going very slowly. She knows to go potty outside and that she gets a treat after doing so, but she is not house trained yet. Bea is a little territorial and will growl/bark at new people & dogs. After her initial concern, she is all tail wags and tummy exposure. She is super excited to make friends with my cats, but they are not used to dogs and have not let her very close. She seldom barks when inside. I would love for Bea to be with a family. I think she would thrive with more activity. She still puppy nips, so if you have babies, Bea may not be a good fit.

Willa was picked up running the streets. She was microchipped but no owner could be located. If you are looking for a super sweet soul mate, look no further. She is the perfect girl to just lay and cuddle, take a stroll or even a much loved car ride.

Story
We need to re-home our family dog due to a change in household dynamics. Patch is a very loving dog, who is playful but also calm in response to his owner’s emotions. Over the last few months, his environment has changed from a home with a few older kids, to a home with several small kids. Unfortunately, he is having a difficult time coping in the new environment. Patch has been our family’s dog for 9 years, and will make an excellent addition to your home if you have older kids and adults. All vaccines and wellness checks are current. Name: Apache (Patch) Dog Breed: Lab, black Gender: Male, neutered Age: 9 yrs Health Condition: Excellent Temperament: Playful and calm If you are interested in adopting Patch or know someone who might be, please let me know!
