Story

Meet Theodore! Theodore is a Golden Retriever mix, about 1 year old, with a loving heart and a playful, joyful personality. He is neutered and fully potty trained. While he’s still working on his leash manners and can pull on walks, he enjoys getting out and exploring and will do best with a family willing to continue helping him polish those skills. Theodore is great with older kids and gets along well with other dogs and even cats. He still has fun puppy energy but also knows how to settle in for snuggles—especially since he’s convinced he’s a lap dog! A true lover at heart, Theodore thrives on companionship and being close to his people. His favorite activities include playing fetch, practicing commands, and going for walks. He genuinely enjoys training and learning new tricks, especially with positive reinforcement. Theodore is not a fan of crates or being confined and may cry when you leave the house, so he would do best in a home where he isn’t crated and where his family can help him feel secure. He also makes a great watchdog—alert and aware, but not overly barky. Theodore would be happiest with an active family who wants an engaged, affectionate companion and is excited to continue his training journey with him. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story

Letti is a sweet, loyal girl who loves being near her people — whether she’s napping nearby or happily chewing on her favorite toy. She’s a cuddle bug at heart and is always ready to snuggle up on the couch or ask for some one-on-one attention (sometimes a little enthusiastically!).Letti enjoys spending time outdoors, especially chasing leaves and exploring the yard. She can be a bit shy on walks, so a patient adopter with treats and a secure harness will help her build confidence.She’s a smart girl who responds well to redirection and enjoys training sessions — they’re a great way to engage her curious mind and strengthen your bond. Letti does best with slow introductions to new people and dogs and will thrive with someone who understands her need to feel safe and secure.While confinement isn’t her favorite, Letti does well when given a comfy space and the freedom to relax. She’s learning that being alone is okay and shows her gentle, loyal nature by waiting patiently for her person to come home.Letti is a loving companion who will blossom with a dog-savvy adopter ready to give her the structure, understanding, and affection she deserves. Once she trusts you, she’ll be your devoted shadow — always close by, ready to love and be loved.Interested in adopting this dog?

Mavis

Golden Retriever

Female, 7 yrs

Palatine, IL

Size

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

Details

Story

Introducing Mavis, a fine 7-year-old Retriever with the steady sweetness of a true American sweetheart. With her soft brown eyes and calm disposition, she’s the kind of gal who wins hearts without making a fuss—content to curl up on the couch, lean in for gentle affection, and keep the household running on good old-fashioned warmth. Mavis is a model citizen, fully house-trained and polite as a picture. She waits by the door when duty calls, stays trustworthy and quiet when left alone, and strolls along on her leash as if she were taking part in a Sunday afternoon parade. When the weather turns snowy, she lights right up—trotting around with that classic, carefree joy that never goes out of style. She’s got a playful streak too. Mavis proudly carries her stuffed toys wherever she goes, like a kid toting her favorite prize from the dime store. She gets along swell with dogs big and small, and she’s just as lovely with children—gentle, patient, and always ready to join the fun without ever overstepping her manners. Come nighttime, she settles onto her dog bed with the quiet contentment of someone who knows she’s safe and loved. Her foster says her greatest triumph has been the simple act of giving her trust—and what a victory that is. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with classic charm and the kind of heart they don’t make much anymore, Mavis is your girl. Interested in adopting this dog?

Buttercup

Golden Retriever

Female, 2 yrs

Palatine, IL

Size

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

Details

Story

Named after “The Princess Bride,” Buttercup’s soft coloring and gentle soul make it seem like she stepped straight out of Florin and into your heart.This beautiful girl is an absolute lover. If you stop petting her, she’ll politely nudge her head right back under your hand, making her wishes known in the most endearing way. Around people and other dogs, Buttercup is happy to roll onto her back as if to say, “As you wish.” She’s eager to please, adores all forms of affection, and bonds quickly with her humans, including kids.Buttercup does well in her crate (after a brief protest—no princess likes being confined at first) and enjoys napping on the couch, in her bed, or in her “royal chambers.” She’s still polishing some house-training skills and will benefit from a predictable routine. On walks, she’s enthusiastic and curious—especially when birds, squirrels, or rabbits appear—so continued leash training will help her master her courtly manners.Like any good adventure story, Buttercup comes with a little mischief: she’s a champion chewer and believes many household items are secretly chew toys. Durable toys, Kongs, and supervision will be key to her happily-ever-after. With guidance, patience, and love, this sweet princess is ready to leave the castle behind and find her forever family. “This is true love… you think this happens every day?”Interested in adopting this dog?

Story

Hi there, Charlamagne here!Let me introduce myself, I am happy, go lucky guy who loves life. At a few months shy of 9 years old, they say I am a senior, but I am young at heart and ready to enjoy life.Give me a toy, especially one that squeaks and life is good. I am not really interested in playing fetch, but I do like my toys. I also love spending time in the yard and if I get to chase one of those little critters, I think you call them squirrels that is super fun. Walks are nice too and I am practicing my manners when on a leash. When we are not playing a snuggle or a good belly rub is very nice.In the house I am a great guest, if I do say so myself. I will leave your stuff alone; I know to ask to go outside to do my business and if you think it is necessary I will sleep in my crate......though I would much rather sleep on the couch if that is allowed. A canine friend would be ok though I am not really looking for a playmate so would be happy to have all of your attention.As you can see from my pictures, I always have a smile on my face. I would love to meet you and spread some happiness at your house. Hope you come to see me soon.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story

Meet Selena! Possible Breed: Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix DOB: 5/18/24 Selena is a gentle, affectionate young pup who’s ready to find her forever home. She’s a quiet and well-behaved girl who loves to snuggle but also enjoys playtime and daily walks. Selena is very smart and gets along well with other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for both people and pets. Since being rescued from a dangerous situation, Selena has blossomed in her foster home. She loves toys, adores her crate as her safe spot, and has recently discovered the joy of curling up on the couch. When she’s not zooming around the yard, she’ll often stop by to give her foster mom sweet hand kisses — she’s truly a little lovebug. Selena would thrive in a calmer home environment and would do best with no children or with kids over the age of 12. A privacy fence is recommended for all her speedy zoomies! She’ll need a little time to adjust to her new home, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines through. Selena is seeking a home where she can feel secure and loved — with humans who will give her the patience and kindness she deserves to show what an amazing, devoted girl she truly is. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will bring warmth and love to your home, Selena is your girl.
