Story
We look forward to your response in regards for this delightful gentleman, but when you do, please use our application at sparrowdogs.com, or tell us a bit about yourself please. Meet Otto, he is perhaps a Pugchi, part Pug and part Chihuahua. We think the Pug genes gave him his love for the sedentary life, appetite and some girth. His Chihuahua side of the family tossed in a little bit of spice into that mix and gave him just a dash of attitude. He is a man of leisure. He enjoys a fine meal and a soft bed. He prefers his blankets swirled around his portly frame. Occasionally his face will poke out, just for a sniff, perhaps there is a snack headed his way?? Or...one of the other foster dogs might need his stern guidance if things are getting a little willy nilly. He does not suffer fools lightly.(lol) Well, with that said, that is the reputation Otto tries to uphold. He wouldn't want anyone to know that he really has a fun side, ya know! He can be a little cantankerous on occasion, but all that amounts to is a few grumbles. He wouldn't want to admit it, but he has had a lot of fun running around with the playful dogs in the yard. Even at 8-9 years old, he can be a spunky guy. Otto enjoys spending his time relaxing on a soft bed. He is looking for a more laid back home, and one that will understand that he may need a little time to get to know you. He will do well in a a dog savvy home that understands that it takes time to develop some relationships, and those can be the best ones!! He can be fine with kids, but we think perhaps teens, no little guys. Otto is fine with women, but really prefers men, he would like a buddy to hang around with.

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
Penny is a 5 yr pug/Boston terrier mix. She is a snuggler, but also loves to play ball, tug, and is a watch dog. She is so sweet but wants to be the queen of castle. We got her in December and have had a few incidents with our other dogs. We were told she got along with dogs. She is crate trained but would love to sleep with you! She knows commands sit, off, leave it, shake, bed. She was never taught how to walk on leash but she learns quickly. She comes with her crate bedding and toys. I would like her to go to home where someone is home most of the day but not necessary.

Story
Meet Ringo, a 1-year-old English Bulldog/Pug mix weighing about 45lbs. Ringo has had a rough start and is looking for a patient, dedicated home to help him blossom. He is dog friendly and very curious about other dogs, we think it would be very beneficial to have a friendly, confident dog in the home. Ringo can jump or climb any barrier or fence. He cannot be off leash outside at all as he will escape and run away. Ringo is quite nervous and will need a couple meet and greets to get comfortable. Once he is comfortable, he thinks he is a lap dog and will jump onto staff or into their laps. His ideal home would be without kids and in a quieter environment, away from a lot of traffic.If interested in Ringo, please understand he will be foster-to-adopt as he will need time to decompress. We also have a behaviorist we utilize to help with the transition and adjustment.

Story
If you’re looking for sweet, snuggly, and just the right amount of sparkle… Etta might be your girl.    This darling is super sweet and enjoys long walks — she’s happy to explore by your side and then come home and curl up close. When she gets excited, she does the CUTEST little spin like a figure skater landing her big routine (yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds).   Etta at a Glance: • Sweet as can be • Loves her walks • Celebratory happy spins when excited • Total snuggle bug • Very food motivated (training win!) • Laid back and chill with other pups • Just starting to discover the joy of toys • Doing well with pottying outside.  If you’re ready for a laid-back cuddle buddy who adds a little twirl of happiness to your day, she’s ready to meet you. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2655061##
