Story
My family experienced housing/financial difficulties. Life is not always easy… Young kids kept me busy and so did another dog. I also grew up with cats. Let me tell you something, cat food is a lot tastier than dog food. Cats are gastronomes so I joined them to enjoy the pleasure of perfect food. I’m a super sweet boy, playful and quite sociable. I am also quite smart, sit, speak, down and out….and talking about speak, I love baby talk. Are you ready for a fun conversation? I'm back online because the cats in my recent home and I didn't get along…I’m ready for my next family so come on over.

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
TALLYFor SEVEN WEEKS Tally has been sitting in rescue wondering why nobody has shown up for her yet… and honestly? SAME.Because this dog wakes up every morning like she just drank three energy drinks and received life-changing news.Tally approaches every single day with the enthusiasm of a kid who just found out recess got extended.Fetch? OBSESSED.Car rides? LET’S GO.Backyard zoomies? Absolutely mandatory.Personal space? She’s unfamiliar with the concept because she loves her people THAT much.At approximately 2 years old and 28 pounds, Tally is basically what would happen if pure joy somehow became a dog. She’s goofy, expressive, adventurous, wildly entertaining, and always seems genuinely thrilled to be included in whatever’s happening.And yes… we still aren’t entirely convinced she sleeps.Her foster family swears every time they check on her, those giant eyes are already open and ready for the next activity. Honestly? Respect.Tally has made HUGE progress in foster care. She’s doing great with potty training on a consistent schedule, sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, rides wonderfully in the car, and has discovered that playing fetch might actually be her life’s purpose.She’s still very much a playful, energetic dog and would thrive with someone who enjoys adventure, walks, playtime, and a dog that actually wants to participate in life WITH them.But underneath all the silly chaos?Tally is incredibly loving.She wants attention. She wants connection. She wants to be part of the family. And despite being overlooked for seven weeks now, she continues waking up every day happy, hopeful, and ready to love people anyway. 🖤And honestly?That kind of joy deserves a home.✨ Approx. 2 years old⚖️ Approx. 28 lbs🐾 Possible Pug mix📍 Located in Kewaunee, WI💲 Adoption fee: $450✔️ Spayed✔️ UTD on vaccines✔️ Microchipped✨ Apply to adopt at:www.biggiepawsrescue.orgSome dogs bring peace and quiet.Tally brings laughter, adventure, and emotional support chaos. 🐾DATCP # 494550

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!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11:00-3:00pm 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 adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2735713##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bandit, a handsome young pug with an adventurous streak and a heart full of love! Born around May 14, 2024, this sweet 18.4-pound boy was found exploring a local subdivision, charming multiple neighbors along the way. While everyone wanted to help the little runaway, Bandit proved himself to be quite the escape artist, cleverly digging out of various yards in his determined quest to find the action! Bandit is a true social butterfly. His main goal in life is to be right where the people are. When he gets loose, he doesn't run away; he rushes towards companionship! He is looking for a secure yard and a family who will give him plenty of attention and keep him close by, satisfying his deep desire to be part of the pack. Bandit has been fully vetted and is now receiving treatment for anaplasmosis, a common tick-borne disease discovered during his initial exam. He is doing great and just needs to complete his 30-day course of medication. He's on the mend and ready for his fresh start. This resilient, people-loving pug is eager to trade his days of solo adventures for a lifetime of cozy cuddles and family fun. If you’re looking for a loyal, friendly companion who promises to keep you entertained and loved, Bandit is eagerly waiting to steal your heart! You can apply for Bandit at www.adoggie4you.org.  His adoption fee is $350.  This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
