Story
Resin is in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Resin is a truly special dog with a heart full of love. He’s what many would call a “velcro dog,” happiest when he’s right by your side and soaking up all the attention he can get. Around 11 years old, he loves being touched, is calm and affectionate, and has a gentle, kind nature that makes him an easy companion to have around. Resin is also fully house trained and settles into a routine quickly.In his foster home, Resin does well overall in his crate (he may take a few minutes to settle) and rarely barks. He’s content lounging on the couch when you’re home and relaxes easily. While he’s still learning basic commands, he’s eager to please and thrives on being close to his person. On walks, he does best with a harness since he’s strong, and he may chase small animals if given the chance.Resin would do best in a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and secure. He can be sensitive to raised voices and may shut down if there’s yelling, so a patient, gentle environment will help him shine. With his incredibly sweet and loyal personality, Resin is the kind of dog who will quickly become a devoted best friend.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. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area.

Copey is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Copey is simply learning to be a dog as a dog should be – loved! Who could honestly resist his big brown eyes? Copey is in need of a seasoned family that will enjoy teaching him to enjoy the “dog’s life” as it should be. He can be skittish, but never aggressive. Copey has been great with kids above four.Curious about other dogs of all sizes, Copey will show interest in a passive way. He loves to sleep with a favorite toy, but needs to learn all the joy that comes from playing with those toys, too. He loves being outside, so a yard will really benefit his growth.Copey eats well and is not picky. He sleeps in a crate and feels comfort in it, but only with the door open. Don’t, worry, though. He gets in no mischief, has had no accidents, and uses the doggy door regularly to do his business. This sweet, quiet, timid boy is in need of love, play, and patience and he so deserves that! Come meet Copey and see if he is your match.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. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background.

Oriana is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Oriana’s name means “new beginnings,” and it fits her perfectly. Despite everything she’s been through, she is a gentle, loving dog who just wants to be close to her people. She loves to snuggle on the couch, enjoys being pet, and does great with kids and other dogs, showing a sweet and submissive personality.Thought to be around 2 yrs old, she’s doing well learning routines in her foster home. Oriana is making good progress with house training, knows commands like “sit” and “paw,” and is comfortable in her crate. She enjoys being outside and going for walks, though she’s still working on leash skills and can get distracted. She’s generally calm and rarely barks.Oriana would do best in a home where she can continue to build confidence and be part of the family. She may need a little help with manners, but her affectionate, loyal nature makes her a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly companion who will reward your care with endless affection, Oriana might just be your perfect match.We love our dogs.

Peggy is currently at the SCCR Adoption Center. If you would like to meet her, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.My name is Peggy, and I promise I’ll always peg you as my favorite human. I have dark short fur and ears that perk up every time a treat bag opens up. I’m about 9 weeks old and am expected to be 40–50 lbs because I’m a shepherd mix. I’m a gentle little shadow who loves following people around, learning routines, and curling up wherever the sunbeam hits.We love our dogs.

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 our adorable herb garden litter! We are happy, playful puppies who got a second chance thanks to a kind Samaritan who found our mama living under a tree, where she had dug a little hole to keep us safe. That’s how we got our gardening herb names! Our foster mama says we are sweet, high-energy love bugs who are always ready for fun and cuddles. We love everyone — kids, other dogs, toys, and playtime are totally our jam! Our mama appears to be a Lab mix, but since we all look a little different, we’re not exactly sure what breeds make up our adorable crew. One thing we do know for sure: we are super cute and ready to find loving forever homes of our own! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
