Shorewood, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Posey and her siblings came to WCHS a little under socialized but have already made great strides with time, love and patience. Posey is a pug/bulldog mix who is 6 months old and 33 lbs. She will take some time and patience to warm up to new people, but once she warms up is a goofy and affectionate girl! She has done well meeting some other similar sized dogs. Posey has also met a few older kids and done well, but they must understand she is nervous, so they will need to go slow, being gentle and calm, and allow her to come to them on her terms. Posey loves to go on walks, explore, and crawl into staff's laps to get love! We would love for her to go to a home with Pug and/or Bulldog experience.

Story
Rudy is a 3 year old, 45lb terrier/pug mix looking for his new home! He loves to walk around investigating the grounds and rolling around in the grass. He has great form with summersaults too. Rudy is a nervous dog who will need a less busy home with plenty of patience. We think it would be best for him to have a home with 1-2 people he can adjust to. We would love to find someone with experience with nervous dogs as he needs consistency and routines so he can comfortably expect what is coming. Once Rudy starts to feel safe, he will ready to give all his love! He is always rolling over for belly rubs from staff or giving a hug. This sweet guy just needs a safe place to land. Rudy doesn't seem to mind other chill dogs. He hasn't been interested in playing with other dogs but does fine hanging out around them or going for walks.

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.

Bing (PA) HAPPY Girl!

Pug French Bulldog

Female, Puppy
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bing is being fostered in PA, Bing is both blind and deaf. Bing is a blind and deaf little girl who was born on January 25, 2025. She is most likely a pug mix but we are not sure. A special adopter will be needed in order to help this bit of a wild child, as she needs to use touch, smell and taste to hear and explore her surroundings, people and other animals. At this time, it makes her wiggly and playfully nippy (and the nips can hurt) to hold until her excitement calms. This behavior will pass as she is helped by a patient family, she matures and becomes more familiar with how to appropriately get to know her surroundings. Aside from her overly excited behavior when around new people and things, she is a typical adorable puppy who loves to play, eat and sleep. Bing should not be in a home with very young children because of her tendency to mouth as she investigates her world. Bing will also need a very patient fur sibling because she is overly playful with other dogs and cannot hear their warnings to "back off". So far she has been indifferent with cats but the two in her foster home keep their distance at this time. She may be able to see light and dark and seems to be completely deaf. She will be having one of her eyes removed on May 23rd. After about 2 weeks recovery time, she will be all ready for adoption. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
