Story
She is a beautiful dog and behaves very well. She is playful and five years old. His birthday is on January 5th. He has a lot of energy but during the day he likes to sleep a lot. I love her but I just had a baby and it makes dogs allergic. My heart hurts but I hope to find a family that loves her and takes care of her a lot.

Story
KYRA 2 years LYRA 1 year Attributes Bonded pair Dog friendly Adult-only home Not best for apartments Housetrained Need a fenced yard Kyra and Lyra are a beautiful, young, bonded pair of small girls who are ready to find a loving home together. They came from a breeder situation and are now discovering how wonderful life in a home can be. With each passing day in their foster home, they continue to grow in confidence and show just how special they are. These two are inseparable and share a sweet, devoted bond—they truly do everything together. Kyra, about 2 years old, is the more confident of the pair. Whether it’s heading outside or settling in for bedtime, she helps show Lyra the way. Kyra is curious and gently explores her surroundings, and once she feels comfortable, she enjoys back scratches, belly rubs, treats, and even following her foster family around. She loves cozy spots—whether that’s by your feet, on the couch, or snuggled up with a dog friend. Lyra, around 1½ years old, is a thoughtful and observant girl who still requires encouragement from Kyra and other dogs. While she is reserved, she is clearly interested in connecting and has already made progress—taking treats by hand and choosing to rest near her foster mom. With time and patience, her sweet personality will continue to shine through. Both girls have made good strides since arriving in foster care. They are learning to relax, enjoy a predictable routine, and feel safe in their environment. Because of this, they would do best in a home in a quiet suburban or rural neighborhood – apartment living and the hustle and bustle of city life is not for them! They would prefer an adult-only home, but a quiet home with calm, older children might also be a viable option. Car rides are not on their list of favorite things to do, but hopefully over time they will learn that car rides can lead to fun. They love having cozy spaces to unwind and will happily play, run, and wrestle together when they think no one is watching! Their playful side really comes out with each other and with other friendly dogs. Kyra and Lyra are housetrained with only occasional accidents and do best with regular outdoor access, so a fenced yard will help them continue to succeed. They haven’t yet learned leash walking but are making progress every day in building trust and confidence. These gentle, loving girls are looking for a patient and understanding home that will continue to nurture their growth. In return, they will offer a special bond—not only with each other, but with the lucky family who gives them the chance to fully blossom into the happy, loving companions they are meant to be. NOTE: Dogs may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
Meet Gus! 🐾Gus is a handsome 2-year-old neutered male pitbull with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love. This sweet boy has been through a lot, but he continues to show everyone just how resilient and affectionate he truly is.Gus does have some special needs, and he is looking for a committed adopter who will help him continue thriving. He takes daily Prozac to help manage his anxiety, and it has made a wonderful difference in helping him feel more secure and relaxed. He has undergone laser therapy on both of his back stifles due to a previous injury, and he has responded very well to treatment and can walk with ease now! With continued care, gus is expected to keep improving!In addition, Gus has food allergies and is currently on Hill’s Science Diet z/d, which has been working great for him. Staying on this diet will be important to keep him feeling his best, along with allergy medications.Gus would do best in a patient, loving home and giving him the support he needs! 💜

Story
A husky and a pit bull - sure, this produced one of the most stunning dogs we've ever seen. He's brilliant, loves to watch planes fly overhead and learn about everything going on. But he is incredibly strong, and requires an experienced handler. He is also LOUD as he inherited the husky vocals. Not everyone will understand why a dog is barking or howling at them, he will need someone who understands that he's just trying to communicate something all of the time. Only one year old, he will calm down significantly in another year or so. But right now he wants to run and explore and play hard. He also wants to sleep right beside you. Remmy remembers being abandoned from a car... and breaks down a little if we drive him somewhere without another dog in the car - we think he is afraid he will be left behind. Remmy might have a hard time on that last car ride to his adopter... and he might be guarded for a while like he was with us. We have taught him that hugs and pets are good, and nurtured his loyal side. We aren't sure anyone will be good enough for him, it is purely up to Remmy - the right person will understand, and show him that there is a Happily Ever After beyond his foster home. I believe we convinced him when he was given up... we need someone to help us with his final transfer because between Remmy and me, I worry about the tears there are to shed... Remmy comes fixed with his rabies vaccine and distemper shots. He was dewormed, and on topical flea prevention. His blue eyes will steal your heart - I wish someone had warned me, so I am warning you.

Story
Tellie is about 8 years old. He likes his space but also loves to be petted and taken for short walks. He currently lives with two adults, and 8 year old and a 23 year old, along with a two year old boxer. Recently, our 23 year old tried pulling something out of his mouth, which should not have been done, and Telllie bit her finger. I’m sure an experienced dog owner would never do this, however, we have an 8 year old who has friends over and we simply don’t feel comfortable after this incident, for the dog to be around kids. It’s very unfortunate and we feel very sorry to have to do this. However, we take no chances when it comes to the safety of our children.
