Story

Meet, Olaf! This sweet, sweet, boy! Olaf recently arrived to us as an owner surrender for no fault of his own. He is a BIG puppy (currently weighing in at 90 lbs and will likely still grow some) who is in need of guidance and training, and an adult only home. He will do phenomenally with someone with Shepherd experience. He has recently been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is heartworm negative. He appears dog friendly at this time but can be selective with energy levels. We are not sure how he would do with cats at this time. He is reportedly housetrained and rides well in the car. Olaf's adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in adopting this boy, and putting in the time and effort he needs to be his very best, please stop by the shelter or call/email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov. Who wouldn't love this sweet face?

Story

COMING SOON - VERY HANDSOME GERMAN SHEPHERD! Hi. My name is Valor. I’m two years old.Male.German Shepherd. People say I’m very handsome. I won’t argue with that. But what they usually notice first is how much I love people. I’m the kind of dog who leans into you for affection. I stay close to my humans. I look up at you like you are the most important thing in the room. That loyal German Shepherd heart? I have it in full supply. My previous owner's life changed and they could no longer care for me. Angel Dog Alliance stepped in to help me find a new home where I can be safe, loved, and part of a family again. Recently I had surgery to remove a tumor that was growing between my toes. The vets took great care of me and were able to save my leg, though one of my toes had to be removed. I’m healing beautifully and getting stronger every day. My playful spirit and loving nature never left. Honestly, I’m still the same dog I’ve always been. Sweet. Affectionate. Loyal. Ready to walk beside my person wherever life goes. I’m wonderful with people and great with kids. Other dogs are still being evaluated, but introductions can absolutely be arranged. I will be available for foster or adoption starting March 25th, and I’m hoping that somewhere out there is a family who wants a devoted companion with a big heart. And if you’re looking for a loyal friend who will stand beside you through everything, I think we should meet. ##2643043##
