Story
Rosco is the type of guy that may seem unimpressed when you first meet him. He has "resting sad face" with sweet brown eyes and his shiny black velvet coat. Once you get to know him, you start seeing subtle signs of when he's happy. Like when his ears perk up when he sees his favorite people. He's an excellent walking partner and is the ultimate car rider - he hops right in and will sleep like a baby. Sometimes you can even hear him snoring! Rosco has been in 2 foster homes where we have learned a lot about him. He is house trained! He is cuddly when he trusts you, but we recommend taking that slow as he can be sensitive being touched in certain places. Rosco has some resource guarding tendencies; which means he can be protective over things he loves. This means food, and even furniture. Rosco will need a dog savvy owner who will be patient, give him a routine, and teach him that he doesn't need to guard things, because of this we do think Rosco would be happiest having his family to himself. Rosco comes with 3 sponsored training sessions with Wise Dogs! He is a sweet boy who will repay your patience with unconditional love and devotion.

Story
Adoptable Sprinkles is a TV star! In case you missed it, Sprinkles had her big debut on WGN TV's Adopt-A-Pet segment! She's been patiently awaiting her forever home for over a year. She is as sweet as her name implies; her loving affection is really how she got it, as well as because of her cute, caramel sprinkles on her nose. This gal is spunky, fun loving, and ready to be your co-pilot in life. She's incredibly affectionate, too! She goes on lots of field trips with her favorite volunteers and especially enjoys car rides. She also knows some basic commands and is housebroken - what a bonus! She has a huge fan club at the shelter who are hoping her special day comes soon. Sprinkles is looking for a pet-free home, but with as much sweetness as this girl has, she's the only pet you need! All of her adoption fees have been sponsored, so don't miss out on welcoming a celebrity dog into your home!

Story
Look at that smile! Shadow loves people, adventures, fetch, toys, fun, cuddles, and is just a happy-go-lucky dog who loves life. He is looking for a family that will embrace his silliness! Shadow has a pretty big fan club at the shelter and goes on lots of fun outings with his volunteer friends where he always does great. He's been to the park, swimming with our friends at Splash Dog, and lots more! After his most recent field trip, his volunteer buddies said: "Shadow loved the woods and walked very nicely with his harness on. We walked past a few dogs and he showed interest but kept going. He was able to sit nicely and focus on treats while a dog passed us by on the trail. On the ride back, he settled down and was very affectionate and gave lots of kisses and cuddles." One of the best things about Shadow is that he is treat motivated and is very attentive, which will be great for his scholarship with a local trainer! Come meet Shadow today and see why we love him so much!

Story
Sami is doing awesome in her foster home, but looking for her forever home! She is crate trained, potty trained, and the best snuggler around. While she love, love, LOVES her family, she doesn't always love visitors and would do best in a low-traffic home that can help her pick and choose her friends. Sami is smart and loves to train for treats, which is also the quickest way to her heart! Dog friends are easier for her to get along with than human friends (same, right?) and she has done well with her foster's three dogs as well as other visiting dogs. If you're a homebody looking for a dog that embodies a weighted blanket, Sami is waiting to meet you! Sami comes with 3 sponsored training sessions with Wise Dogs! To meet Sami, reach out to our Foster Coordinator at foster@orphansofthestorm.org!
