Rat Terrier

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Mundelein, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Drifter is all about comfort and love. This gentle, submissive boy has a soft soul and a heart full of affection. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be close—your quiet little shadow, happily following you from room to room. One of Drifter’s favorite pastimes is gazing out the window, taking in the world from the safety of home. When he’s not on neighborhood watch duty, you’ll find him snuggled up with his people, enjoying pets, cozy naps, and maybe a good chew bone. He’s also more than happy to share his space with other dogs and does well with canine companions. Drifter would thrive in a home with someone who doesn’t mind a loyal sidekick—especially one who wants to curl up next to you at night and be your snuggle buddy. If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion who will bring calm, cuddles, and quiet companionship into your life, Drifter is ready to drift right into your heart. 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.

Wakanda

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos

Mundelein, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Wakanda came from a local hoarding situation. Due to this they do require a fenced yard as well as another dog in the home. Wakanda is one of the pups rescued from the Wauconda hoarding case and is just beginning to discover how good life can be. Wakanda tends to warm up more quickly to women and is still learning to trust men. He’s working with a trainer to help build confidence and ease his protective streak. While he’s still figuring things out, his sweet side is shining through more each day. He loves spending time outside, so a securely fenced yard is a must for this curious explorer. He’d do best in a quiet home with older kids who understand that trust takes time. With patience, love, and continued training, Wakanda is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. 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.
