Story
Meet Lucille, a 46 pound 2 year old Doodle who came to us with her sister, Ethel. Lucille's foster dad says she affectionate, but reserved in expressing that affection. She loves to play with toys and is especially excited when she has a sock to toss around. Lucille enjoys going for walks and just being outside. She gets along well with both small and large dogs and is playful with her sister and the foster's dogs. Lucille is crate trained, is working on her housetraining. Both girls are looking for a quiet home with a patient family that can give them time to adjust and learn to trust them. A family without small children is best, as Lucille and Ethel can be startled by noises and fearful in new situations. Ethel and Lucille are timid with new people, but they have already come to trust their foster family.  They would both benefit from having another dog in the home to give them confidence.  A fenced yard is required. Lucille's minimum adoption fee is $250 plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Cooper is a one-year-old Goldendoodle weighing 48 pounds, and he’s the perfect mix of sweetness, energy, and playful curiosity. Still very much a young dog, Cooper loves to run, play, and explore the world around him. He enjoys spending time outside, whether that’s chasing toys in the yard or engaging in a quick game of tag with another dog. Cooper is fully house trained and has done a great job keeping his foster home clean, even when given free rein in a gated area overnight. This friendly boy gets along beautifully with everyone he meets—men, women, children, and dogs of all sizes. He’s especially fond of playing with other dogs and is always ready to make a new friend. His gentle, affectionate personality shines through when he’s around kids, and his foster family describes him as a “very good boy” who just wants to be part of the action. Cooper does well in the car and enjoys going on little adventures. While he’s still learning his leash manners and isn’t a big fan of wearing one yet, he’s eager to please and will thrive with patient, consistent training. He’s also crate trained, though he needs a bit of encouragement to go inside; once there, he settles down and sleeps through the night. Because Cooper is still young and full of energy, he would do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can run and play safely. He’ll need a family ready to give him the time, attention, and love he deserves. With a little guidance and a lot of affection, Cooper will make a wonderful lifelong companion for anyone looking for a happy, loyal, and loving dog. His minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Donner, a 3-year-old Golden Retriever mix who weighs 53 pounds and radiates pure sunshine wherever he goes. This happy boy is joyful, friendly, and always ready to make a new friend. Donner keeps a clean run here at the shelter, and we’ve been told he is good with both dogs and cats. He was also reported to be good with kids as young as 5 in his last home. With his sweet temperament and gentle enthusiasm, it’s easy to imagine him fitting into a variety of families. True to his Golden heritage, Donner loves to play and has plenty of energy to burn. He’ll thrive with an adopter who enjoys an active lifestyle and can provide him with the exercise, engagement, and fun he craves. Whether it’s yard zoomies, adventures, or simply being near his people, Donnor is all in. If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate companion who will bring joy and motion to your days, Donner is your guy. He can’t wait to meet his forever family. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
