Story

Hi, I’m Kronk. I’m very loving and I love to cuddle. I can be very hyper. I need someone who is good at training me, and someone with patience. I need someone with a lot of energy, and it would be a bonus to have another hyper dog to play with if they were to get along. I need a yard to run in. I can be difficult on walks, and require constant attention to surroundings. If I get within 40-50 feet of another dog I’ll get hyper. I’m good at staying on my place when my owner eats dinner. It can be a challenge introducing new males in the house, but I’m better if the new person gives me treats. I like to bark a lot!! I don’t do well with being crated. I am fine in the house, up to 8 hours. I can be a really great dog given the right care. My owner just had some big life changes and is too busy to give me the love and attention I need.

Story

Harlequin is a loving 10lds ball of fluff, a true character,.He will follow you everywhere, do anything for a treat, spin to be let out, play games, but he hates big dogs. I rescued him from Atlanta GA in deplorable conditions and got him back to 100% Mainly had to shave about 50% of him. He was instantly a love. I couldn't imagine not having with me. He goes shopping, car rides, etc all like a gentleman. Rides on the foot rest of the store go carts. Or walks sometimes in the basket. He is an anxious dog and other dogs trigger this. I will have to medicate him for him to stay here and the German Shepherd has started retaliation. We've tried , separation with a gate and seperate yards is only thing that works, but that means 1 dog doesn't get attention, and that's not ok. Plus dude not ease Harley's anxiety. He is a wonderful ESA dog. And could be a service dog if trained. It breaks my heart to let him go but I will put his safety and emotional well being first.

Pickles

Rottweiler German Shepherd Dog

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Pickles was found at Horseshoe Lake State Park in Madison County, IL. in July 2025. As of today no one has claimed him and he has been fostered since then. We will no longer be able to care for Pickles so rehoming is critical at this time. He is both sweet and friendly as well as protective and obedient. Loves to travel and be by your side as much as possible. He requires time, patience, and a lot of exercise. He is no more than a year old according to the vet and up to date on all vaccines, as well as neutered. PLEASE SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! Due to so many people backing out at the last minute and causing unnecessary and in some cases extreme inconveniences we ask that the adoption fee be paid before agreeing to meet. Thank you for your understanding.

Story

Hi, I’m a 2-year-old cuddle bug with a heart that’s bigger than my head, and I have a HUGE head. All I really want in life is to be loved and to love you right back. If you're sitting down, theres a very good chance I’ll be right beside you (or on you), soaking up every bit of attention you're willing to give. I love people, I love other dogs, and honestly, I love just about anything that wants to be my friend. Scratches, belly rubs, kind words, Im all in. My start in life wasn't the easiest, but thanks to my foster mom who showed me what safety and love feel like, Ive learned that good things really do exist. Now I’m ready for my forever home. I’d thrive with a family who has a fenced-in yard where I can sniff and explore, or with people who enjoy cozy days cuddling on the couch watching nature documentaries. Whether outside or relaxing together, I’m happiest just being close to my humans. If you're looking for a loyal companion, a professional snuggler, and a best friend. I am it!
