Story
Donny Angel is a spunky little guy! He’s very mobile for his age and like to sneak off with toys and treats for a moment to himself. He’s very much a character! Donny Angel can be fearful and is triggered by quick movements or hands in his face, so we would want to pair him to an adult-only home. He is very much a lap dog and will give you a lot of companionship. He would prefer not to share his forever home with any other dogs. He wants to have your complete attention. This sweet guy is about 5lbs and around 10 years old.

Story
Poor Leo was abandoned by his family. They had set him loose outside when they no longer wanted him. He was found by a concerned citizen, and we learned what happened when we scanned his microchip and contacted his former people. He is very sad. When he came in his hair was matted and his frame was thin. Leo has been having some digestive issues with taking to dog food. He likely hasn’t had good nutrition in a while. He needs a lot of nurturing. He’s a good dog, he just needs someone who will take the time to focus on him. He is about 5 years old near 10lbs. He seems to be very friendly so Leo might be considered for a home with other small, kind dogs and possibly kind cats.

Story
Meet Misty, a 7-year-old Maltese x Shih Tzu looking for her forever home. Despite being kept in a cage for 18 hours a day with little human interaction, Misty is still friendly with everyone, including other dogs, cats, and kids. She’s had a difficult past that has left her with matted fur, overgrown nails, and overgrown fur hiding her beautiful eyes. At the rescue, we’re providing her with the love and care she deserves, including medical attention. We’re looking for a loving and caring family who can provide Misty with the attention and regular grooming she needs.

Story
Hello potential Doggie Adopters! At the moment Treasured Animal Rescue is experiencing issues with our website. We are aware our site is down, and we are working our little paws off as fast as we can so we can be back up & running to accept adoption applications. In the meantime, please complete an application via GoogleDocs and mail back to: info@treasuredanimalrescueinc.org https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_9KHhCF4StWkPYwVh7CaJ2eLV7WJVP1CHZGxk8Q1Kbg/edit?usp=sharing Hello! My name is Kirby and I would like to tell you my story. It started out sad as I was a stray but the middle parts are great. I'm about 8-10 years old. I was found as a stray and nobody knew who my Owners were. I went to a shelter. Let's just say I was a HOT MESS! I didn't get groomed in a long time. I had a hard time walking because I had so much hair. If it was the 60's you could say I looked like a Hippie ... hee hee! I am all settled in my foster home. There's other doggies and kitties that live here and I'm great with all of them. But there's one special pooch that is my BF. Well, okay let's call her my girlfriend. Her name is Sadie and she's a bit older than me. Sadie and I are like Peas n Carrotts! So, we are hoping we go together to our forever home. My Doggie Vet is not sure on my true age because I have only 2 teeth to guess by but I'm pretty playful. I love to go outside and run around with the other dogs. I have my favorite spots in the yard and of course inside my favorite spot is my doggie bed. Well, not really mine as I share my doggie bed with Sadie. I'm not the greatest in the potty training department. My Foster Mom thinks when I lived with my other owner I was allowed to go anywhere so I do mark. If you catch me and say "Kirby, no" I know I have to go outside which is weird because I love going outside! I know adopting two dogs together might be a challenge but think about it this way. Two dogs that are small really isn't trouble. I take care of Sadie and Sadie takes care of me. So, you'll be taking care of the Sadie-Kirby team. BTW Sadie only weighs 3#s. My Rescuers tell me one day I am going to have a family that will love me forever. They will take good care of me and when it comes to me going to the Groomers I don't have to worry about looking like a Hippie again. I like my handsome look, don't you? When I went to the Groomers the nice lady says I sat very well. So come on out to my foster home and come meet me & my GF, Sadie. We will be hanging out. Being cute. Cheers! Kirby Kirby is located in our foster home in Aurora. He and Sadie are bonded and need to be adopted together. Please complete our adoption application or any questions please send an email to: info@treasuredanimalrescueinc.org Their adoption fee together is $500. Sorry, but Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of Illinois Thank you for choosing to adopt!
