Story
Phoenix is finally feeling like herself - and now she’s ready to find the forever home she’s been waiting for. At 8 months old and around 35 lbs, this sweet girl is fully vetted and full of potential. She’s still learning how to “dog,” so she’ll thrive with a patient, loving family to show her the ropes. Phoenix can be a little shy at first, but give her a minute (and maybe a treat), and she’ll warm up quickly. She’s gentle, kind, and has shown no food or toy guarding- she takes treats so gently from people - just a soft, loving soul. She would do amazing at doggy daycare as she loves dogs of all ages and sizes, but she does have some separation anxiety when left alone. She has been cat tested and chicken tested and did fine with both. Best fit: • Fenced yard • Playful dog friend(s) • Patient, loving home She’s come so far already…now she just needs her person.

🌶️ Agnes Spicy Don’t let the name fool you, I’m more sweet than spicy…with just enough sass to keep life interesting! I’m a 7-week-old female Pittie mix with a playful personality, a social heart, and an expert-level puppy wiggle. I love toys, people, and making new friends.

Story
Hello friend, Nugget here! They call me brave, but I just think of the world as a giant playground waiting to be explored. Loud noises? Vacuum monsters? Puddles of unknown origin? I look them right in the eye, give a little tail wag, and say, 'Is that all you got?' When it is time to play, I bring my A-game. Fetch is my part-time job, zoomies are my full-time passion, and squeaky toys don't stand a chance. But don't worry - once we conquer the backyard and save the living room from imaginary squirrels, I turn into the absolute best couch snuggle bug. I am looking for a co-pilot for life who loves fun as much as I love a good head scratch. Personality: Fearless, high-energy, joyful, and silly. Superpowers: Zoomies specialist, professional tail-wagger, expert at puppy dog eyes Ideal Home: An active human or family ready for daily walks, playtime, and a loyal shadow. Stats: vetted, 3 months old, 15lbs (expected to be medium-large adult), dog, cat, kid friendly Apply to adopt: www.dogs4u.org Fostered in Cedar Lake Indiana

Meet Draco! 🤍 I’m a 1-year-old male Maltese/poodle mix with a heart full of love! At just 11.5 pounds, I’m the perfect size for snuggles, belly rubs, and carrying my favorite toys around. I absolutely adore people, get along great with other dogs, and will happily soak up all the attention you have to give.

Story
Meet Tate: professional people hugger, certified “Patient of the Day,” and living proof that life doesn’t always go according to plan…but it can still be awesome. 1.5 year old Tate was adopted and thought he had his happily ever after, but after being diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia, he found his way back to us. We left no stone unturned - multiple veterinary consults, X-rays, and enough poking and prodding to earn him Patient of the Day at the vet. (He accepted the honor with tail wags and kisses.) His X-rays even revealed old birdshot pellets scattered through his back legs from sometime before rescue, but the good news? The specialists all agree that right now, Tate just needs an inexpensive otc joint supplement and to keep doing what he loves most: being a happy dog. And happy is exactly what he is. At nearly 70 pounds of pure Lab-energy, Tate believes everyone is his new best friend. Dogs? Love ‘em. Kids? Absolutely. Strangers? Give him 30 seconds and he’ll probably be sitting in their lap. He lives for tennis balls, snacks, and convincing everyone he’s actually a 10-pound lap dog. Tate doesn’t need a perfect body - he just needs the perfect family. One that sees past a diagnosis and falls in love with the goofy, joyful, resilient dog he’s always been. Apply to adopt: www.dogs4u.org Fostered in Tinley Park, IL
