Story
Buttercup is 18 months old. She is very shy and has been ever since she was a puppy. She is a very good dog and gets along great with our two Bernese Mountain dogs and our grand kids. She is crate trained. She does keep our 3 cats on edge but especially our male Ragdoll cat. It causes him to not want to use his littler box. That was not an issue until Buttercup showed up. For that reason we need to move on. It’s not fair to either animal. We hate to see her go but it’s unfair to have her in a cage just so the male cat can move around the house. Looking for a loving home that’s willing to work thru her shy tendencies. She has so much potential. Thanks Neil

Story
Name: Artemis NKA HazelBreed: Great PyreneesDOB: 11/24/2022Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Lombard, IL Adoption fee: $300 Fun Bio:  Meet Hazel Hazel is a beautiful, laid-back 2-year-old girl who’s been through a lot of change recently and is now searching for the loving home she truly deserves. This gentle soul weighs around 120 lbs and is every bit as kind and loyal as she is big-hearted.Hazel has a calm, easygoing personality that makes her a joy to be around. She loves being brushed, petted, and just hanging out nearby — happiest when she can be part of your day, even if it’s simply resting quietly by your side. She enjoys leisurely walks where she can take her time to sniff and explore, sometimes full of energy and other times perfectly content to wander slowly. She’s friendly and social when introduced properly, plays well with other dogs in group settings, and even has a doggie best friend she’s spent many peaceful hours with.Hazel is food-motivated and loves treats (training comes easy when snacks are involved!). She does need to eat separately from other animals, as she prefers her own space during mealtime. And don’t be surprised if she pauses mid-meal and comes back later — that’s just her quirky little routine.She’s strong and playful — tug-of-war with her leash is one of her favorite games! With a bit of consistency and patience, Hazel will make an amazing walking buddy and devoted companion.It wasn’t easy for her previous family to say goodbye — she was deeply loved. But long work hours meant they couldn’t give her the time and attention she deserves. Hazel is ready for a fresh start with someone who can make her feel included, loved, and part of their everyday life. Could you be that person for Hazel? She’s ready to fill your home with loyalty, calm companionship, and unconditional love.#AdoptHazel #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop #GentleGiant #RRsanctuary #RescueLove If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home.
