Story
Capone became a cherished part of my life when I adopted him from a local animal shelter almost two years ago. He was just a pup back then, with a pair of eyes that sparkled with curiosity. Now, at two years old, Capone has grown into a loyal and affectionate companion. He’s always ready for an adventure in the great outdoors. Regrettably, a new job opportunity in a city apartment has forced me to consider finding a new home for Capone. My heart aches at the thought of parting with him, but I want to ensure that he continues to thrive in an environment that suits his vibrant personality. Capone deserves a home with a yard where he can run and play to his heart's content, and a loving family that will cherish him as much as I do. Capone is full of energy and love. He needs a home with space to roam and a family that can provide him with the love and attention he craves. Capone is not just a pet; he's a source of joy and companionship, and he's ready to bring his exuberance and loyalty

Suzanna

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, adult , Special Needs
Franklin Park, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I originally adopted Suzanna from Animal Care League in May 2022. She is 6 years old and will turn 7 in April 2024. She's super chill and calm and likes to relax while in the presence of owners/family. She was recently diagnosed with diabetes in August 2023 and is currently taking insulin twice daily to keep her glucose levels balanced. She takes 3 units every twelve hours and need to eat prior to insulin shot being given. With her having diabetes she needs to be taken out to urinate very often throughout the entire day as she is not house trained and will urinate indoors if not given adequate outdoor time. She is very good with kids of all ages. She has never been around other animals so unsure of her behaviors around other pets. Looking for experienced adopters who have time and patience to continue providing medical care she needs with her recent diagnosis.

Story
Roxy will turn 3 years old on Nov 15, 2023. She is a mixed breed, which we believe to be German Shepherd and Pitt Bull. She weighs approx 45-50 lbs. She is mostly potty trained but does pee a bit when she meets new people. Other than that, she does not have accidents. She is crate trained and sometimes sleeps in bed with owners but is also fine sleeping in her crate. She is extremely afraid of all dogs even small dogs and puppies and will bark ferociously if she is in the vicinity of another dog. Roxy has been to dog training bootcamp and will walk very nicely on a leash as long as you use a pronged choke collar with a shock collar. She won’t pull as long as these items are used. The reason we are rehoming her is that she jumps on new or unfamiliar people when they come in our house. We have 2 young children in our house who frequently have their friends over. Roxy won’t stop jumping on them and knocks kids over and then barks loudly if you put her in her crate while kids are over.

Story
Unfortunately we need to give away our dog his name is Bullet. He was given to us and we are not able to keep him due to financial issues and because he needs to be in a home that has a fence where he can be free to run and play. He is about to turn 1 years old from what we where told. He is such a energetic boy pit bull. He loves any and all attention and is fully potty trained. He is very smart and knows a lot of commands such as sit, lay down, paw and the word wait when you give him his food. He loves to cuddle and play with fetch balls and pull on ropes. He doesn't like to be alone for certain amounts of time and needs someone to properly give him the attention and training that he needs. He doesn't have his shots due to financial issues and we just can afford it at this time to give him what he needs. This truly breaks my heart because he deserves better.
