Story
This is Cleo, a 9-month-old, 35-pound bundle of joy that is completely devoted to her humans. Affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s right by your side, Cleo takes cuddle time very seriously and never misses a chance to join in. Cleo can be a bit choosy about her canine friends and prefers slow, careful introductions, or to be the only dog in the home where she can soak up all the attention. She’s also not a good match for a home with cats. Around her people, though, Cleo is loving and attentive and proud to call them her own. Potty training is going wonderfully, and she’s almost there! Cleo is also working on her manners, including polite greetings (no jumping!), leash skills, and fine-tuning her “sit.” She’s smart, highly treat-motivated, and eager to learn, making training both fun and rewarding. With her big heart, quick mind, and devotion to her people, Cleo is ready to bring endless love and joy to her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your biggest fan, Cleo just might be the perfect match. (Born April 2025)

Story
Hey there! I’m Jackson — a 10-month-old male Shepherd mix weighing 40 pounds of energy, love, and loyalty! 🐶 I’m full of playful spirit and LOVE kids , car rides 🚗, and all the toys you can throw my way. I’m potty trained ✅, crate trained 🏠, and treat motivated, which makes me a quick learner and super fun to train! While I can be a little shy at first and need a bit of time to warm up, once I do, I’m all in. I’d thrive in a home with a yard or space to run and explore 🌳—but I’m also happy to chill as your favorite couch cuddle buddy. I adore people ❤️ and I’m ready to find my forever home where I can play hard and love even harder!

Story
"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Lucky for you, he's right here in the Peoria area and looking for a family!! Romeo is an adorable 3ish month old mixed breed cutie. Romeo is a professional snuggler. In spite of his hound looks, this boy hardly makes a peep. Romeo is a bit timid and a little shy initially, but nothing a few cuddles and kisses won't fix. Romeo would do great with another dog in the home to help build his confidence or a family committed to taking him to puppy training to help build those skills. Romeo is a lover -as his name suggests- of all. He gets along well with cats, dogs, and kids of all ages. Romeo is still working on housebreaking, as should be expected at this age. Romeo is a sweet, sweet boy who would make a great addition to any family. He is expected to be around 50-60 lbs fully grown. If you are looking to have a great companion for your summer adventures, get your application in for Romeo now.
