Story
TALLY 🖤If fun had a face… it would look like this.Tally is the kind of dog that walks into a room and immediately turns the energy up—in the best way.At around 2 years old and 28 pounds, this Pug mix is full of personality, joy, and just enough chaos to keep life interesting. She’s playful, silly, and always ready for the next adventure… or at least the next snack (because yes—this girl is very food motivated 👀).Tally didn’t get much structure early on, so she’s still learning the basics—but here’s the good part: she WANTS to learn. She’s smart, eager, and already showing how quickly she picks things up when there’s consistency (and treats… definitely treats).She would thrive in a home that’s ready to give her a little guidance and a lot of love. In return? You get a dog that will make you laugh daily and keep life anything but boring.She enjoys other dogs but can come on a little strong at first—she’s just excited to make friends. A tolerant dog buddy or a home where she can be the center of attention would both work great. Cats are likely not her thing.She’s doing well with crate training (may protest briefly, then settles and sleeps through the night), loves going for walks, and is working on housebreaking.And that face? Yeah… good luck saying no to that.⸻The details:• Approx. 2 years old• ~28 lbs• Pug mix (best guess)• 📍 Kewaunee, WI• Dog friendly (best with tolerant/playful dogs) ✔️• Cats: not recommended• Kids: older, dog-savvy ✔️• Crate trained ✔️• Leash skills: learning, but loves walks• Housebreaking: in progress• UTD on vaccines ✔️• Microchipped ✔️• Spayed ✔️💰 Adoption Fee: $450⸻Tally isn’t a couch potato—she’s your hype girl, adventure buddy, and daily dose of entertainment all in one.If you’re looking for a dog with personality… you just found her.👉 Apply at: www.biggiepawsrescue.org#BiggiePaws #RescueWithoutFluffDATCP # 494550

Story
The wonderful Canine Care staff is helping me deal with the loss of my guardian and they are giving me extra loving. I lived with a cat and I also get along with dogs. I love walks, that’s the perfect way to get some fresh air, discover new smells and even bark at the wind. I’m quite affectionate so always ready to get some petting or relax on the couch with you. Nights are lonely without a family so what about me being able to sleep in my own home tonight?

Story
Rose is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to see if you're a match! Where are our pug lovers? We found Rose at Chicago Animal Care and Control, after being found in an abandoned stolen car! She didn't belong to the owner of the car or the person who stole it, and no one came forward for her, so we brought her to Heartland for a fresh start! 9 year old Rose went straight to a foster home while we provided some dental and medical care. Thankfully, she is healthy and happy! Rose has wasted no time settling in to her foster's home and heart. She seems to be house trained and is crate trained. Her foster describes her as a playful and energetic pup who does not let her age define her. While her regular foster was out of town, Rose was recently in a foster home with a couple and their big dog, and Rose got along great with everyone! If you are looking for a companion who will be so happy to see you every time you walk in the door, greeting you with a full body wag, Rose is your girl. She is always down for a lengthy stroll with lots of sniff stops and a friendly bark to neighborhood dogs. Rose also loves to be a couch potato and must always have something soft to sit or lay on. We hope you will inquire about Rose today. With so much personality in a compact body, she is sure to win someone over soon! Rose’s adoption fee is $175 (and her adoption fee is waived for an adopter 65 or older as part of our Seniors for Seniors program). She is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative. Rose will need to come to our shelter on 5/13/26 for a dental with extractions with our vet, at no cost to an adopter.

Story
Pugsworth is a bundle of personality, playfulness, and love! This energetic guy is always ready for fun — whether it’s a romp in the yard, a game of fetch, or just zooming around to show off his goofy charm. When playtime’s over, Pugsworth is just as happy to soak up some affection and enjoy a good snuggle. He’s got a sweet heart and a fun-loving spirit, but he also marches to the beat of his own drum — confident, curious, and delightfully unique. He would do best in a home with adults and older children who are able to handle his energy and playfulness. Pugsworth is your guy if you’re looking for a pup who’s equal parts playful and loving, and who will always keep life interesting!

Story
This is a story that will tug at your heart. Hi. It’s me. Ava. Yes, I have the little squishy pug face. Yes, I am about six years old. Yes, I am soft in every possible way. They found me wandering around Calumet City. Just out there. Alone. I am a tiny girl and the world is big. Bigger when you cannot see it very well. We think I am blind. Or close to it. What I know for sure is that I navigate with my heart. The shelter was not the place for a girl like me. Too loud. Too fast. Too much. The rescue stepped in because no one wanted me trying to survive like that. I am not a high-maintenance diva. I am a calm, docile, snuggly little lady. I move slowly. I listen carefully. I memorize the shape of a room. Once I learn it, I am good. I will toddle around like I own the place. What I really want is a person. Someone patient. Someone steady. Someone kind. Someone who does not mind being my eyes. I will follow your voice. I will lean into your legs. I will curl into you like I have known you forever. I am the kind of dog who bonds deep. Not flashy. Not chaotic. Just loyal. Devoted. Yours. If your home is quiet and your heart is open, I think we might fit together perfectly. I am probably fine with dogs, cats and kids, but since I want a quiet home, I am going to try to be your solo love bug for now. Is that okay? Come be my world. I promise I will make you mine. Update - 03/19/2026:She is an attention seeker. She hears a voice and she jumps up to find you. LOVES FOOD. she does not like it if you take too long to get her bowl ready. She has started doing a low grumbling bark when she thinks your taking to long. Loves to cuddle and be close to her people. Can this girl get any cuter?We can't imagine what she went through when she faced uncertainty and is blind. Our hearts broke. We had to keep her safe and give her a chance at finding a loving home. Will you foster or adopt her? Please apply. She needs your love and care. ##2666687##
