Story

Hi, I’m Knuckles. I’m a little guy rescued from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and I’m looking for something very special—a family willing to love me for however much time we have together. The rescue believes I’m looking for a hospice home, but please don’t let that scare you away. I’m still here to love. Still here for cuddles. Still here to wag my tail when I see my people. I don’t need anything fancy. Just a warm bed. A gentle heart. And someone who will make sure I never feel alone again. The best part? My adoption fee is completely sponsored. Maybe my happily ever after isn’t measured in years. Maybe it’s measured in love. ##2766716##

Story

Meet JC, she is an approx. 10 year old Jack Russell. I don't know too much about her background but she is sweet yet timid. When I go to pet her she will flinch so I think someone was not very nice to her. She's a small girl at only 21 pounds and due to her age, she will not get any larger. On a past transport she was almost left behind in the shelter most likely because of her age but we could not do that. She was so happy to be picked to come. JC will follow me everywhere. She gets along well with the other dogs here, she just kind of keeps to herself, she likes to go in the car and stick her head out the window so I have to lock them. JC does have some hearing loss so she has to be kept closer either on leash or fenced yard. After having her for a few days, we did blood work to check everything because of her age; most all came back well but it was found she has cushings, a condition that sometimes affects both cats and dogs. She was drinking excessive amounts of water and peeing more. She is now on medication that has helped tremendously. It does cost about $50.00 per month thru Chewy. Due to this Rover Rescue has waived her adoption fee. She will do best in adult home or with older children. A fenced yard would be ideal so she can get frequent potty breaks thru the day. She does sleep quietly thru the night in her little kennel with comfy bed. I'm hoping someone will be able to provide for her and give her the best thru her senior years. If you think you would be interested in a new best friend forever long that may be please call Jody at 708 268 6965. The adoption fee will be waived for the family who is willing to give her the great life she deserves. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story

Meet Oliver! Oliver is a 3-year-old, 21-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines brighter every day. This handsome little guy is the perfect combination of playful and laid-back. He loves heading out for walks, exploring the world with his nose, and then settling in for a cozy afternoon by your side once he's had his exercise. Oliver absolutely adores his people and is happiest when he's close to them. Belly rubs, kind words, and being reminded that he's a "sweet boy" are some of his favorite things in the world. And if you happen to have a piece of cheese, you'll win him over in no time! His affectionate nature and loyal spirit make him a wonderful companion who loves being part of the family. He's done an amazing job learning his potty routine and has figured out that putting on his leash means it's time for a fun adventure. Oliver has also become increasingly interested in meeting new people and would likely enjoy making some canine friends with proper introductions. Oliver is looking for a family that will continue helping his confidence grow. New environments can feel overwhelming at first, so he appreciates patience, encouragement, and positive reinforcement as he settles in. He loves being with his people and can become anxious when left alone, so he will need to be crated when unsupervised. A home where someone is around more often, such as someone who works from home, would be a wonderful fit. Once Oliver feels safe and secure, he blossoms into an incredibly loving, loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless affection and devotion. Stop in and meet Oliver in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

Buddy

Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Adult

Plainfield, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Small, spunky, and full of personality, this 1-year-old possible Jack Russell mix male pup is ready to wiggle his way into your heart! Buddy loves toys, zoomies, making new friends, and soaking up attention from everyone he meets. Whether it's a game of fetch or a fun training session, Buddy is excited to be part of the action. Buddy is house trained; crate trained; and knows the sit command. He sleeps through the night quietly in his crate. He’s working on not jumping when greeting people and walking on a leash. Buddy has been diagnosed with early arthritis in his front leg; however, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Keeping Buddy at a healthy weight (25 lbs.); on joint supplements; following veterinarian's recommendations; and balancing activity with rest will help him stay comfortable and happy. He may not be training for the Dog Olympics, but he's absolutely going for gold in cuddling, making you laugh, and stealing your spot on the couch. If you're looking for a pint-sized comedian with a huge heart, this little guy is ready to be your favorite sidekick. Buddy is dog/cat friendly. He would do best in a household with older 8+ years old respectful kids, if any and a secure fenced-in yard. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will be in touch The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
