Story

Get ready to meet your new partner in crime! I'm Sabrina, a playful, adventurous gal who's all about playing, going on long walks, and, yeah, I might have a tiny foot fetish. I'm mastering my sits and downs, and I'm stoked to keep training to become the ultimate best friend. My foster mom, Miss Tina, thinks I'm a total whiz kid and would excel at training. As a crazy-active pup, I need a home with someone who can keep up with my energetic vibes. I'm killing it with crate training and doing pretty well with potty training, if I do say so myself. So, if you think we'd be a match made in doggy heaven, reach out to For Good Rescue. Oh yea and by the way did I tell you, Im really cute too! I was born around mid September and will likely be 50-60 pounds when grown. If I sound like your next addition apply today!! Love your new BFF Sabrina Please visit our website www.forgoodrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Betsy

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 7 yrs 3 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Betsy is one of those quietly special dogs who can be easy to miss in the bustle of a shelter — but once she’s in a calm, predictable home, her true self shines. She’s a classic German Shepherd in many ways: observant, steady, and happiest when her world feels consistent. In the home, Betsy is fully housebroken, affectionate, and loves being near her people — she’ll rest by your feet, follow you from room to room, and lean in for reassurance — but she’s not a cuddler who wants to be scooped up or smothered. She shows love in her own thoughtful, gentle way. She can be sensitive to changes or overstimulating moments, and may vocalize a little when she’s unsure. But with routine, a quiet place to relax, and someone who understands the softer side of shepherds, she settles in beautifully and becomes a wonderful companion. She’s also very easy to walk — steady on leash and happy to take in the world at a comfortable pace. Betsy can be polite around other dogs, but she doesn’t really want to live with them. She’s much more comfortable as the only pet, where she can fully relax and not feel pressured to interact. If you’re an experienced GSD home looking for a dog who appreciates calm, structure, and staying close without needing constant cuddles — a perfect match for someone who enjoys quiet, steady company — Betsy may be the perfect fit

Drita

Belgian Malinois

Female, Young

Vernon Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Drita was stray for several weeks before some very patient people were finally able to trap her and bring her to Animal Control. This poor girl is slowly coming out of flight mode and learning that people can be trustworthy and loving and safe. We'd love to find a patient home for her that can give her more than what we can provide for her here. She needs some time to decompress and warm up, but she will eventually make someone an awesome active and loyal companion. If you know the breed and understand the amount of exercise and mental stimulation they require, Drita could be a great addition to your home. Email us to find out: bombshellbullies@hotmail.com
