Hi, I’m Reese 🐾
I’m about 3 years old, and while I haven’t had the easiest start in life, I’ve got so much love to give to the right person.
I’m a loyal and protective guy—once I bond with my person, I’m all in. I’d do best in a home with just one human, someone who understands that trust takes time but is worth every moment. I’m not nervous around strangers, but my heart belongs to my person, and I take that job seriously.
I get along great with other dogs and even cats, which is pretty cool, right? I enjoy having a calm, safe space to call my own, and I definitely need a secure 6-foot fence because I like to explore—but I always come back to the ones I love.
If you’re someone who’s patient, understanding, and looking for a deeply loyal companion, I might be your perfect match. I’m ready for my forever home—somewhere I can finally feel safe, loved, and at peace.
This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason.
If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius.
Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval.
Breed and Age Information:
Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners.
Adoption Fee:
$0
The adoption fee includes:
Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue)
Microchip
Rabies vaccine
DHPP vaccine
Bordetella vaccine
4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease)
General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention
Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care.
Spay/Neuter Policy:
We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breeds projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues.
The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as 16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure.
