Story
Courtesy Post Hello Everyone, My name is Happy and I’m a sweet lil 35lb Pittie X baby girl who could really use a loving forever home. I am looking for my happily ever after. I was rescued from a rural shelter. I am deaf but that doesn’t slow me down at all. I already know 8 hand signals. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I’m good with other older children who understand my special needs. I do prefer to be the only fur baby in the home as I want all of the lovings to myself! I’m a lil selfish that way. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil girl who just wants to be loved. Please add a lotta unconditional love, a wiggle butt, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. Love and Kisses, Happy

Story
Hello Everyone, My name is Rocco and I’m a 4 mo old Golden Retriever/American Bulldog mix baby boy who is as sweet as can be. I love to play and sometimes other dogs don’t appreciate that because I can be annoying. That is why I’m looking for another home. I have driven my senior furry friend crazy 😢 I am looking for my happily ever after. I would benefit from training and confidence building as I’m just a baby. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am a sweet, loving and smart lil baby who just wants a loving forever family. I am happy, playful and an absolute lover of life. I love playing and I am right at the perfect age for lots of training. I am good with older children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Rocco

Story
Are you looking for a perfect "Pomski"? Look no further! Dakota is here and available for adoption, and he would really like to find his forever home soon. Dakota is a senior Pomeranian x Husky mix, born 3/27/15. You would never know he is 11.5 years old by looking at him. He is active, healthy, and loves to play and go on walks. He enjoys human attention and soaked up all of the love at our recent adoption event. Dakota has been cat and dog tested, and overall does really well -- but can be the fun police and a bit of a grump with other dogs at times. We think he could live with dogs in the right home, but would also be happy as an only dog. Dakota is housetrained, rides great in the car, and is just an all around good boy. He is ~40 lbs and is a heavy shedder. Dakota's adoption fee is FREE and he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call or email: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov with any questions, or stop by the shelter at 802 W John St. Yorkville, IL to meet and adopt.

Freya

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Size

Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Freya is a nearly 2 year old female mixed breed dog, who came to the shelter due to no fault of her own. Her previous owner cited her being unable to contain Freya as the reason for surrender. She came to us heavily pregnant, and within a week of drop off, had a litter of 5 healthy pups. She was excellent with staff through the whole process, has been a great mom, and is now ready to find a great home of her own. She is medium sized, and once back to her normal body weight, she will likely be a 50-55 lb dog. Freya lived with other dogs in her previous home, and got along with them but has not been great with strange dogs here (but had puppies with her and/or pregnant) we are now beginning to explore dog meet and greets with her to see how she will do. She lived with children in her previous home, but recommend older children or adult only household now that we've gotten to know her. Her adoption fee has been paid by a generous donor, so she is FREE to an approved adopter. She is now spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Please stop by the shelter to visit and adopt, or call/email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov
