Story
**COURTESY POST** Please call Danielle directly if interested.  847-452-7742 This is Odyn. Odyn is looking for a spiffy new home and someone to call his best friend!  Odyn came from an out of state high kill shelter and we haven’t been able to find a foster or forever home for him in over a year! He has spent most of the past year in a kennel facility and he deserves better. He is about 45lb, maybe 5 years old. We believe him to be a Dutch Shepherd/Pitty mix. He’s gentle and sweet with a little bit of sass. He loves humans and will do anything for a treat. He loves playing fetch with his ball or squeaker. He is a big snuggler and will melt into your lap if you let him. Odyn is very smart and knows most of his basic commands. He loves his crate and goes into his crate on command, does well in the car and on a leash, is potty trained, and does not have destructive habits. He seems fine with other dogs and cats while on a leash or through a fence as shown in the video, but we haven’t been able to successfully introduce him to other animals when he meets them nose to nose and no fence. We could possibly consider homing him with well balanced dogs the same size or smaller if introductions went well, but prefer him to be the only animal in the home. Odyn needs to be in a home with no children because he lacks a bit of confidence and the unpredictable behavior of children could make him nervous. He has not been behavior-tested with children. He would do best with a gentle, but structured human who can help him feel confident and secure, and one who is willing to continue any necessary training needed to build his confidence, if needed. When you meet Odyn, his gentle eyes and sweet demeanor will snatch your heart right out of you. If you can’t commit to adoption, he is in need of a foster home as well! Located Elgin, IL Please inquire today and come meet this deserving boy! Please contact Danielle to 847-452-7742 to meet Odyn ##1294602##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.* Meet 2-year-old Banjo Blue,  an approximately 90 lb, American Pitbull Terrier.   Banjo Blue was brought into rescue when he was still a young pup in 2022. He was found very thin and needing help to thrive. One of our rescue partners took him in and nursed him back to health. He is a gentle giant that seeks love and affection. Banjo Blue does well with other dogs and loves kids, although he still thinks their lap is bigger than him. Banjo Blue is housebroken, crate trained, does well on a leash, and knows basic commands. He is very treat motivated and willing to learn. He also loves to spend evenings on the couch, watching tv!   Banjo would love a yard to play in, go for walks, car rides, and camping. Due to his larger size and exercise needs apartments/ condos are not best for this boy.  Banjo would be a great dog for a first-time owner or a family that's open to teach him new things and show him a life of love and adventure. Banjo Blue’s adoption fee is $350.00 (Includes microchip and age appropriate vaccines) *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.* Meet Brittany Ears! Her floppy ear, curly tail and sunny personality will always bring a smile to your face. Brittany (Britt for short) is approximately 9 months old (DOB approx 4/13/24) and weighs about 20 pounds. She most likely has a bit of lab, German Shepherd, with a touch of terrier, and a sprinkling of mystery mutt. (We do not DNA test). Britt is crate trained, house broken, microchipped, up to date on her shots and is learning basic commands. She loves playing outside with the other dogs in her foster’s home; chasing balls, playing tug, splashing in her water bowl and drinking from the hose. While she had played well with her foster siblings, she does need to be the only dog in her forever home. Britt has a lot of puppy energy and would probably do best with older kids who understand how to give her space when needed. Obedience training (to help Britt be her best self) and maybe some agility training (to challenge her) would be very beneficial. Brittany Ears can’t wait to find her forever home and share adventures with her forever family. Brittany’s  adoption fee is $400.00  (Includes microchip and age appropriate vaccines) *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.
