Samsun

Mastiff

Male, Young

Rockton, IL

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Samsun is a big, sweet boy who needs a Forever Home, boarding with me since New Years when his owner relocated and has since decided to surrender him. Samsun is big but very mellow and well socialized. Happy hanging out in fenced yard but otherwise keeps himself entertained with his toys when indoors. Playtime in yard seems to be enuf exercise - he would enjoy walks but I don't think he's a distance jogger. Great couch companion if you're a reader or work at home, or can take him along to office. Perfectly house trained and calm when left alone unkenneled for hours in LR; so a working family or responsible student probably fine if attentive when you are home. He's been good natured and friendly with animals he's met here through fences (cats, goats). I think he was raised Euro-style, riding along with owner for errands & visiting. Knows to sit & wait, and plays fetch, without jumping up on folks. Not a barker. Also available XL crate, bed, leashes, toys

Story

We rescued Jocko as a puppy from a no kill shelter almost 2 years ago. He is fantastic with other dogs and our three young kids. He loves to cuddle and go on walks with the family. Unfortunately, we discovered a few months ago that our 2 year old daughter is allergic to this breed and it has been causing her eczema flare ups for over a year. Ideally we want to see him go to a good home with children or active adults.

Story

Hello, this is Poppy. She is almost 2 years old. She definitely has a lot of personality and a lot of energy. She loves to go on long walks and play with her toys. She definitely has found a place in my heart and is the biggest goofball I've ever met. I love her to death but a recent incident in my occupation has caused me to rethink having her which I am heartbroken over. I love her to death but I just can can't keep and give her the love and attention that she truly deserves. I am unsure of how she handles well with kids or other pets. But she has such a sweet nature and loves attention. She does need a little bit more training on the leash. And a little more work on house training.

Thunder

German Shepherd Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Rockford, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Thunder was left with us in 2019 when my son’s friend asked us to dog sit for a few days and never came back. Thunder is very sweet, loves to play, howls at sirens, and is scared of thunderstorms. Thunder is up-to-date on her shots, is used to the occasional kennel/dog hotel during vacations, has a wide vocabulary of commands. Her estimated age is 10 years old, and she kind of has old lady hips when she’s going downstairs at other times she will be in the yard playing with toys like she’s a six month old puppy. I do not know what happened to Thunder in her life before joining our house, but she gets scared when voices are raised, sometimes does not like to go outside in the dark (I will go outside with her), and this all makes her disposition eager to please, she loves praise. I have to move for my job to an apartment in a large city on the East Coast.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Long story short, when we got her from her previous owner he didn’t disclose her behavioral issues/reactivity. We asked all the right questions but he lied about all of them. Unfortunately we are not in a financial situation to afford the training that she needs. She’s a sweet dog that needs the proper training. Please feel free to ask any questions!
