Story
Toby is a sweet and playful Australian shepherd saved from a kill shelter. He loves playing with other dogs and needs a home that has a playmate for him. Toby also needs an owner with an active lifestyle who can help him get all his energy out everyday and also requires a home with a fenced in backyard! Here's the truth of it: Toby has a bite history. Toby will be very loyal and friendly to his family he knows but he WILL display protective behaviors when visitors come over and if not crated or kept on leash will bite them. We are looking for an adopter who has experience with dogs and of course no small children in the home.November 6, 2024, 12:11 am

Capone was saved from a kill shelter. He is a very big and strong guy! He's super friendly and loves to carry around stuffed toys. Capone gets along with other large breed female dogs and requires a fenced in yard. He does NOT do well with cats or small breed dogs.November 6, 2024, 12:11 am

Story
Meet Jimmy Age: 2 years old Breed: Cattle Dog / German Shepherd Mix Coat: Merle Location: Iroquois County Animal Rescue 815-429-4028 | iroquoiscountyanimalrescue@hotmail.com Jimmy is a stunning 2-year-old with a unique merle coat and a loyal heart waiting to shine. A mix of Cattle Dog and German Shepherd, Jimmy is as intelligent as he is beautiful. He was sadly surrendered through no fault of his own—his previous owner faced health complications and could no longer care for him. Jimmy previously lived with two small dogs and did well with them. Since arriving at the shelter, he has shown signs of nervousness—kennel life can be overwhelming for a sensitive soul like Jimmy. We're confident that with patience, love, and a quieter home environment, Jimmy will come out of his shell and thrive. This boy would do best with someone who understands the needs of herding breeds and can give him both structure and compassion. He’s looking for a second chance—could it be with you? Interested in adopting Jimmy? Please call 815-429-4028 or email iroquoiscountyanimalrescue@hotmail.com for more info or to schedule a meet-and-greet.August 19, 2025, 1:13 pm

Story
Shadow is a very cute but clingy puppy. She extremely playfully an wants to be the center of attention. She would do well with older kids. Not babies. My adult daughter brought the pup to our home and left her. We have an elder recently blind dog and my husband is not well. We are raising 2 granddaughters, that are my adult daughters daughters. I am not in the position to have a puppy, I did not ask for a puppy, yet here is a puppy. She is a good sweet girl that deserves a forever home that is not this one. . She has been to the vet twice and is up to date with vaccinations. She is 8 months old and weighs 10.5 lbs. She will need some extra training. She is outside potty trained, she can sit and maybe give a paw, she stand up on her hind legs an gives hi fives for a treat. Any other questions I will answer. She comes with her kennel, collar, leash, bowl, & toys.

I am a sweet older gal that is still up for an outing. I currently go out with a play group of dogs and have a blast! However, I would be more than content just hanging out with you. I need a retirement home to live out my golden years!
