Story
Hennessy was born November 24, 2018, he is 7 years old. Really sweet dog and playful, he has been around 3 kids from a baby to a toddler, and now to a 15 year old. Really protective over the family, and a good guard dog. He has never bitten anyone nor fight with other dogs. Looking for someone to keep loving him and give him a great home. Unfortunately due to marriage problem and not being able to take him with me(dad) and mom not able to take care of him anymore, have no other option but to rehome him.

Story
We brought Zola home a year ago as a foster from a rescue agency. When we first met her she was a few months old, terrified of everything, and just skin and bones. We were told that her and her siblings were found in the woods in Tennessee after the flooding there. She had been fostered in another home prior to us taking her in and we were told things didn't go so well there. When we first brought her home she was sick, went through 3 rounds of deworming, and we nursed her back to health. She was afraid of everyone and everything and had clearly been abused. She has come such a long, long way and is truly a healthy, happy, sweet girl now. She does have anxiety, especially with new people and experiences, and is on medication for that. She is afraid of men and we believe she was likely abused by a male. She loves to go everywhere with "her person", walks well on a leash, and absolutely loves to cuddle. She would do best in female home with another dog to play with.

Story
He is a sweet, patient boy and his birthday is Christmas Eve. He's good company and great protection. He minds his manners pretty well and will listen to you. We have had other dogs and cats before and he gets used to them just fine. We have little kids and our living area is small now so we no longer have the space, but we decided it would be best to give someone else a chance to love him and be loved by him, as he is in very good health and has never had any health issues. Since he listens well, he would exceed in guard dog training school; or he could just be a cuddle buddy for you all day. He is the best of both worlds, and would do whatever he could to see you happy.

Story
Lucy is a loving, energetic, loyal dog that loves to ride in the car. She forgets how big she is and will try and sit on your lap. She is highly trainable and once corrected does well to listen. She thrives in an environment that allows her consistency in her schedule and she feels safest when she knows where her space is. Lucy is crate trained, but even when her kennel is left open she will lay in there and nap. She has been in a home with children and other dogs. She loves to be brushed and will become your shadow if you pet her head. There is no cost to adopt Lucy; I am just looking for a home that will love her the way my late father did.

Story
Name: Luna DaisyBreed:  Chihuahua MixDOB:  18/8/2025Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Wheaton, IL Adoption fee:  $400 Fun Bio:  Meet Luna Daisy – Your Future Snuggle Buddy! Luna is a 12-week-old sweetheart who was born on Christmas Day, making her the perfect little holiday gift that keeps on giving. With her adorable face and calm personality, Luna has already stolen the hearts of everyone she meets. This laid-back girl has a wonderfully chill temperament and absolutely loves being around people. She’s happiest when she’s close to her humans, whether that’s hanging out during family time or relaxing nearby while you go about your day. Luna is already showing what a smart pup she is:     •     Great with kids     •     Walks nicely on a leash     •     Doing very well with potty training She would do best in a home that matches her easygoing personality. Luna would likely enjoy having another calm, laid-back dog companion, but she doesn’t do well with very hyper or high-energy dogs. While she hasn’t met cats yet, we believe she would likely adjust well with proper introductions. Luna is the perfect mix of playful puppy and mellow companion, and she’s ready to find a loving family to grow up with. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, and loyal little friend, Luna might just be the perfect match! 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 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. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time! Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing (done at 26 weeks), deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.   ##2677560##
