Story
Oreo arrives in Wisconsin on August 2nd. Oreo is an adorable pug with the classic pug personality that makes this breed so loved. Because pugs have unique personalities and medical needs, Oreo requires an adopter who has previous experience owning pugs and understands their specific care requirements. In his Texas foster home, he has experience living with lots of other dogs and is used to using a dog door, which is common in Texas. Oreo is a happy boy who is ready to find a forever home with someone who appreciates all the wonderful qualities of this special breed. Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Mimi is an adorable Puggle with a charming personality and an independent spirit all her own. She's currently working on potty training and is crate trained, but she's the type of girl who likes to do things on Mimi time. While she may not always be the most attentive pup, Mimi enjoys being near her people and can often be found lounging on the back of the couch, quietly keeping an eye on the household. She's still adjusting to her new surroundings and learning what life as a beloved family pet is all about. One thing Mimi is very enthusiastic about? Food! She's highly motivated by people-food and has been known to climb onto chairs and even tables in search of a tasty snack. Her future family will need to help her learn appropriate boundaries and keep tempting treats out of reach. Mimi also has an adventurous side. She's frequently found checking out the front door or garage door, seemingly dreaming about her next expedition. Because of this, her family will need to be extra mindful when coming and going—if she spots an opportunity, she may try to sneak out and explore. Mimi is looking for a patient family that appreciates her independent nature while helping her continue to build good habits and settle into a routine. In return, she'll provide plenty of entertainment, companionship, and her own unique brand of affection. If you're looking for a quirky, clever Puggle with a big personality and an adventurous spirit, Mimi may be the perfect fit for your home!   Due to our participation in the Vernon Hills 4th of July Parade, there will be no adoption event on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Instead, come visit us the following weekend at Libertyville Dog Days of Summer on July 11 & 12! Stop by to have some fun, meet our amazing adoptable pets, and say hello to the Reach Rescue team. Please note: There will also be no adoption event on Saturday, July 11, 2026, as we'll be at Dog Days of Summer.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2735713##
