Story
Cletus is a silly 4yr old Shih Tzu from Texas that will always greet you with a wagging tail. Cletus likes playing with other dogs, snuggling up next to you & romping around the yard. He likes to chase cats but doesn’t hurt them, so a home with dog-savvy cats would be ok. Cletus is kid friendly but doesn’t like to be approached quickly by small children. For this reason, a home with children under the age of 10 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. He is crate trained & is doing well with potty training as he has only had 1 accident in the house since being in foster. If you are looking for a snuggly & happy go lucky and silly companion, Cletus is your boy.DATCP#483538

This handsome boy is Jack, he is a Havanese who is 13 months old and weighs about 12 lbs. He is doing good working on potty training and sleeps all night in a playpen. Jack is being fostered with other dogs and cats and does good with them all. He would do best to be in a home with a fenced in yard, but we are working on leash training. Jack loves to cuddle next to you and gives great puppy kisses. Jack is being fostered in McHenry Illinois by Carol. If you are interested in Jack, give me a call at 1-815-263-1152 or email me at cjb21051@gmail.com Adoption fee of $650 required.
