Story
Heya! I'm Ollie, a young shepherd mix boy full of energy and love. I'm super friendly and curious about everything. Personal space. What’s that? I’m always ready for a new adventure. I love going on walks and car rides are the best! I'm house trained and really into treats, which makes learning new tricks fun. I might be a bit goofy, but that just adds to my charm. I'm also quite brave, and down to and down to try new things.

Story
Bear is looking for his furever family and we're praying to find someone with GSD experience to take this extremely smart boy! He would do best in a home with experience dealing with either GSD or working breed knowledge. He is a lot of dog but if you're patient and consistent he would be one of the best dogs you've ever had! He does awesome on a leash, loves to go for rides and is a frisbee catching machine! He is also kennel and house trained! now for the not so good... Bear is a big boy and he knows it. He prefers to be the dominant dog of the household so a home of either all female dogs or submissive males would be ideal for him. His true to breed prey drive also makes him not a fan of cats. He will also resource guard his food if you give it to him then take it away which we do not do so we don't have a single issue. This is just what we were told by the owner. At his young age this can definitely be something that could be trained out of him and surely after being neutered it would correct some of his issues as well. His adoption fee is $275 and this will include his DAPPV booster, deworming, current flea and tick, neuter, 1 year Rabies vaccine, microchip and a heartworm test. Please call 618-833-4915 to come see him! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application. Email us at: animalcontrol@unioncountyil.gov and make an appointment for a meet and greet! Address: Union County Animal Control, 385 Kaolin Road, Cobden IL 62920.

Story
What can we say about Charlie... Charlie is beautiful.  Charlie is young.  Charlie is smart.  Charlie needs a parent who is smarter than he is.  (Charlie knows all of us are beautiful).  Charlie is AMAZING with children.  He LOVES his Jolly Egg.  He loves all the people.  With the right training and time invested, this young man is capable of great things!   Charlie is not a huge fan of other dogs, and thinks cats are beings put on this earth purely for his own personal enjoyment, with not much enjoyment in it for the cats.   Charlie is not suitable for a 1st time pet parent, and someone with experience in GSD or similar is preferred and encouraged.  July 27, 2025, 4:04 pm
