Story

Meet Andi! Andi is a sweet, gentle 2 year old 40lb mix breed dog with a playful yet submissive personality and a whole lot of love to give. She adores being around people and other dogs and wants to be part of the household action, happily following her foster mom from room to room just to stay close. Andi is house-trained, crate-trained, knows basic commands, has excellent recall and is always excited for the next adventure, whether thats romping in the backyard, enjoying long walks, or curling up on the couch for cuddle time. Curious by nature, Andi can entertain herself and loves playing with the smaller dogs in her foster home. She is excellent at sharing her bones and toys and is just an all around sweet natured dog. Shes also curious about cats, but as long as they arent running, she shows no desire in chase. Andi would thrive in many types of homes, as long as she has a daily opportunity to stretch her legs and, most importantly, a loving person to snuggle with in the evenings.

Story

Ike is an adorable 16-pound puppy with a playful spirit and a personality that’s sure to keep you smiling. Our best guess is he is a Jack Russell Terrier mix, but his DNA is really a mystery. Born on 1/8/26, this sweet boy is full of all the classic puppy charm: energy, curiosity, affection, and just the right amount of chaos to keep life interesting. He’s the kind of pup who will happily bring joy, laughter, and a little bit of mischief-free mayhem to his forever home. As a young puppy, Ike will need a family ready to help him learn the ropes. He’s still at the age where house training, crate training, and basic obedience will all be important parts of his routine. Like all puppies, he’ll thrive with structure, patience, and positive guidance as he grows into a wonderful lifelong companion. Ike is very friendly, loves meeting people, and is ready to find a family to call his own. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy to add to your home, Ike may be the one you’ve been waiting for. His minimum adoption fee is $350 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

Sawyer came from a hoarding situation. He is a bit shy but with the help of our staff and a loving adopter he will make a great addition to any family. He needs to interact with people as he didn't get much interaction in the situation he was in. We are working on leash and potty training. He is 7 years old and fully vetted, heart worm negative and microchipped. He is in need of a loving family to love him so he can show them his love as well. Won't you please consider adding Sawyer as a new family member? These dogs are being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
