Hello, potential adopters! My name is Bug, and I'm an enthusiastic 2-year-old Boxer mix eagerly looking for my forever home. At 63 pounds, I may be a big guy, but I'm filled with love and excitement that I can't wait to share with my new family. My friendly nature makes me a social butterfly-I love meeting new people and making friends wherever I go. I'm always ready to wag my tail and greet you with a big smile on my face. Energy is my middle name! I absolutely love going for walks and exploring the world around me. With my boundless energy, I'm the perfect companion for an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures. Not only am I eager to have fun, but I'm also a bright pup who loves learning new tricks and cues. I'll happily participate in training sessions, especially if it means earning tasty treats and your praise. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours.

Weighing in at an impressive 99 pounds, Bo is ready to find his forever home where he can thrive and spread his love. Bo's journey hasn't been without its challenges, especially when it comes to meeting other dogs.

Hello! I’m Dylan! Don’t let my gorgeous Shepherd-like coloring fool you, I’m a petite little girl and may only get as big as maybe 25-30 pounds. I am a young pup who is SUPER smart as I learned how to use the bells on the door to let my foster mom know I need to go outside to potty. All within just a few days without anyone even showing me how! I LOVE to play and especially love to chase my foster siblings around the yard. An active family or even better, one with another playful pup would be great for me! I can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but I quickly start to trust with a few treats! I’m I am crate trained, doing great with my house training, and I’ve even learned to sit for a treat without needing to be asked. I take those treats gently too, so the little neighbor kids don’t worry about getting their fingers nipped. Think that I’ll make a great fit for your family? Fill out a preadoption application today and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quickly as they can! Kisses and cuddles-Dylan

Hello!  My name is Grizzly and I am the perfect pup looking for a new furever home!  My current human companion's health has taken a turn and they won't be able to care for me anymore.  I am much loved and well behaved so I know I can make another person or couple a great new friend.  I am a dog-friendly guy who hasn't spent much time around kids...sure, I have seen them when out on my walks but never actually hung out with any.  And speaking of walks, I LOVE it!  I think that means I could be a wonderful walking or jogging partner.  I will come to my new home fully vetted, up to date on shots, neutered and housetrained.  No puppy shenanigans from me! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a pre-adoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Tail wags and kisses-Grizzly

**COURTESY POST** Please call Danielle directly if interested.  847-452-7742 This is Odyn. Odyn is looking for a spiffy new home and someone to call his best friend!  Odyn came from an out of state high kill shelter and we haven’t been able to find a foster or forever home for him in over a year! He has spent most of the past year in a kennel facility and he deserves better. He is about 45lb, maybe 5 years old. We believe him to be a Dutch Shepherd/Pitty mix. He’s gentle and sweet with a little bit of sass. He loves humans and will do anything for a treat. He loves playing fetch with his ball or squeaker. He is a big snuggler and will melt into your lap if you let him. Odyn is very smart and knows most of his basic commands. He loves his crate and goes into his crate on command, does well in the car and on a leash, is potty trained, and does not have destructive habits. He seems fine with other dogs and cats while on a leash or through a fence as shown in the video, but we haven’t been able to successfully introduce him to other animals when he meets them nose to nose and no fence. We could possibly consider homing him with well balanced dogs the same size or smaller if introductions went well, but prefer him to be the only animal in the home. Odyn needs to be in a home with no children because he lacks a bit of confidence and the unpredictable behavior of children could make him nervous. He has not been behavior-tested with children. He would do best with a gentle, but structured human who can help him feel confident and secure, and one who is willing to continue any necessary training needed to build his confidence, if needed. When you meet Odyn, his gentle eyes and sweet demeanor will snatch your heart right out of you. If you can’t commit to adoption, he is in need of a foster home as well! Located Elgin, IL Please inquire today and come meet this deserving boy! Please contact Danielle to 847-452-7742 to meet Odyn ##1294602##
