Story

I got Hank when he was a puppy from the shelter in Bloomington while I was in college. He is about a year and half old now (he will be 2 in March). Ideally Hank should be with someone who has a yard or land for him to explore. He is a high energy dog and loves to try to chase small animals like squirrels and rabbits. He’s a very loyal dog & protective of his owner & house. Some adjectives I would use to describe Hank are sweet, loving, funny, weird, anxious, protective, friendly, and loyal. Hank has some behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and some aggression towards other male dogs. He barks a lot when he is by himself because of his separation anxiety. This resulted in many noise complaints at my apartment. I would recommend whoever is interested in adopting Hank either works remote or has a house where noise complaints aren’t as much of an issue & can cage-train him. The adoption fee includes a cage, food, a dog bed, & his toys. He is up to date on all vaccines/neutered

Shiba Inu

Female, Young

Springfield, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Winnie is a one year old Shiba Inu. We took her in to give her a place to stay until she could find her forever home. We considered adopting her premaritally but our life situation doesn't allow us to have another dog. She needs to be with her forever family. She is very shy and takes a little while to warm up to new people. But when she does she will sit with you, let you pick her up and be very loving. She has proven to be an escape artist, which is part of her breed. Might be a good idea to never take her out without a leash. We just want what is best for her and want a home for her where she will be loved.

Meet Weston, aka Moo! Age: Born approx. July 2023 (~2+ years old) Weight: ~70 lbs (currently on a diet to reach a healthier weight) Moo is a lovable, playful, and loyal companion! He adores food, enjoys adventure, and also loves cuddle time. He gets along well with other dogs and is very social, though he does have natural hunting instincts and likes to chase cats. A home without cats would be ideal. Moo is used to sleeping in bed with his human, though he is being trained to sleep elsewhere for homes that prefer furniture-free pets. He has some allergies and is currently on Apoquel, which keeps him comfortable. He knows sit, down, paw, place, and stay. He gets excited, but learns fast. Moo is a devoted dog who thrives on attention, structure, loves meeting new people, and will make a fun, loving addition to the right home.

Story

Daisy is a super cute, sweet, and calm dog. If you are looking for a pet to follow you everywhere (will walk by you silently to and from places in the home if you are her main attachment parent) and the best Lounge partner; literally lovesssss sitting/sleeping next to her main caregiver; vaccinated ; but potty troubles mostly Due to laziness and lack of consistency on the owners part….as she has high anxiety and dislikes when her main caregiver leaves her ( this is when she may behaviorally pee inside). I have not tried anxiety medication or formal potty training yet I do believe she is very smart and would be responsive to both.
