Story
Say hello to Reagan. One interesting feature about Reagan is her tail. It may look like she is missing the tip of her tail, but she was actually born that way. Reagan can be a little bashful, but once she gains some confidence she crawls right into your lap for snuggles, her sausage-like tail wiggling away! As she has been building her confidence she has learned that the zoomies are really fun.Call Helping Paws to see if Reagan would be a good addition to your home!D.O.B: 8-31-25Siblings: Rumi, Randall, Ranger

Story
Howdy! I`m Gage. I was born in Savannah, Tennessee, where my mama says she gave birth to me and my siblings on a pile of trash, but don`t worry we are absolute treasures! That same day we were rescued by Animal Rescue Corps and brought to HP! I`m the big brother of my litter! I like to act like I`m big and tough when it comes to wrestling with my siblings, but once I roll over onto my back I play the victim! Maybe I just want to scratch an itch on my back, not have everyone pile on top of me! Gosh! One day, I hope to find my own place and catch a break from all my siblings! Call HP and save me from my family!D.O.B: 5-28-25Mom: FrankieSiblings: Barrington, Bayles, Mclean, Feme, Butler, Honey

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. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2594302##

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? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs.
