Story
Introducing Kenny, the charming, playful guy with a heart full of love and a sense of humor that’s sure to brighten your day! Kenny might start off a little shy around new faces, but give him a moment, and he’ll quickly show you his true, affectionate side. Before you know it, you’ll have a best friend for life, ready to share all the fun you can handle. Kenny's absolute favorite thing in the world is a good game of tug of war. He’ll run over to you with his favorite rope toy, tail wagging like crazy, and wait for you to play. But be warned—he’s a pro, and he’s always up for an epic tugging match that could last for hours! Whether it’s fetch or tug, Kenny is the ultimate playmate who never tires of the fun. If you’re looking for a loyal, silly, and all-around loving companion who’ll keep you smiling every day, Kenny is the one you’ve been waiting for! Weight: 73.4 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes!

They have never been crated while in foster care. Leash behavior: Working on it! They are still learning what the leash is all about and may have some behaviors that will require continued positive reinforcement training. Dog sociability: They like them! They enjoy the company of dog friends, but would be just as happy to be an only dog in the home. Cat sociability: They do not do well with cats! They will chase, bite, attack, or otherwise harm or frighten cats. Kid sociability: No kids, please! They are afraid of kids or reactive toward them, or they have a history of behaviors that make them incompatible with children. Likes: Playing tug, partying with his friends, making biscuits on his favorite blankie Dislikes: Huggers who don't ask first If you’d like to meet Kenny, please fill out an adoption application at animalcareleague.org/adoptions and send us an email at adoption@animalcareleague.org!

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jacque might have the look of a stern French headmaster ready to dish out a detention, but we can promise you this lab mix is as playful, friendly, and excitable as they come! Jacque’s favorite things are playing with toys (especially balls and squeakies), getting belly rubs, and walks. He loves every person he meets and adores being the center of attention. He will do well in a home with a family that can give him plenty of activities to get some of his energy out, then follow up with couch cuddles and movie nights. Are you ready for this handsome man to bring you plenty of love and laughs? Apply to adopt Jacque today!

Caper

Labrador Retriever

Female, 5 yrs 6 mos
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Caper the Sweetie came to us all the way from Tennessee. This quiet girl can be shy at first, but once she warms up, she is nothing but friendly, especially if she has a canine friend to bring out her tail-wagging side. Her favorite things are being outside, other dogs, and going on walks. She can spend an entire day hanging outside with her humans and dog friends and would do well with a yard or open space she can explore at her leisure. Caper is a medium energy dog, who would prefer just meandering around and exploring rather than playing or running. The ideal home would be a quiet, adult only setting where she gets to decide when she gets attention. She would do great with a patient family who loves her regardless of her shyness and understands that once she opens up, you're in: think lots of pets, belly rubs, and excited tail-wagging when you walk through the door. All she needs is a safe, loving home to bring out her endless sweetness. Caper loves every dog she meets and would thrive in a home with canine friends. While completely great with other dogs and humans, she can get spooked easily, so she may not enjoy a home with younger children. If you're looking for a sweet, friendly dog with a soft independence, Caper is just the girl for you! Apply to adopt this sweet angel today!

Labrador Retriever Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 4 yrs 10 mos
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
While Sparky has a forever home at Big Barn as one of our sanctuary dogs, we would entertain the right applicant who sees how special this spunky boy is. Sparky is a mischievous and handsome boy. His favorite things are playing fetch with tennis balls, snacks, and playing in the water. Rain or snow, hot or cold, Sparky will play and walk in all of it with no complaints. He is a medium to high energy dog who will be a great hiking companion-he loves walking, jogging, running etc., but he's also happy to lounge on the couch with you if it's a lazy day. He is potty trained and only uses the bathroom outside. Sparky's ideal home would be an adult-only, pet-free home, with owners who will respect Sparky and his special needs, which include sensitivity when petting him and being mindful of introducing him to strangers. Once he makes friends with you, he is an amazing pup who will accept pets and is sure to be your best friend. If you're looking for a hiking companion, jogging buddy, and a loyal, right-hand man, come meet Sparky at Big Barn!

Lisette

Labrador Retriever

Female, 1 yr 8 mos
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lisette was part of a hoarding case where close to fifty dogs were found living under one roof. The conditions were horrific and we can't imagine what she faced during her life before coming to ALIVE. Many of the dogs were being starved and left in crates twenty four hours a day. Given all this, Lisette is a happy, tenacious girl. What do we love most about this sweetheart? She is active, engaged, and soft as velvet. Her eyes are full of love and her heart is simply waiting to give back to her people. She will need a little patience in her first days at home but she is super smart and will pick up her training very quickly. Lisette is always down for adventures but wants a quiet place at the end of the day to relax with her folks. She loves other dogs, car rides, adventures to the beach, lazy Sundays, and a good toy. While she is fine being independent, she also enjoys quality time with her favorite people, whether that be long walks, snuggles, or running/chasing her human friends. With her high energy, Lisette is best suited to a home with a yard to run around in, or with an active owner who enjoys long walks. She has done great with older kids and is very good with other dogs once introduced. Are you ready to rescue this brown-eyed angel from Big Barn and show her what a wonderful place the world can be? Apply to adopt Lisette today.
