Story
Meet Lake! Lake is a 5 year old, 12 pound, Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. Lake came to TNT from a hoarding situation, so he is still decompressing and getting accustomed to life in a home as a family dog! He does well with other dogs, but he's still nervous about new people. His foster family is helping him along the way, including starting to work on training. Slow and steady wins the race! He is looking for a forever home with a family that will be patient as he learns how to feel comfortable with them. He would love to have a confident resident dog who can show him the ropes! He's already started to show us that he wants love - he approaches his foster family for pets and paws gently for more. We are sure that with more guidance and love, he will understand that his life has really just begun! Let us know if your home could be a good fit for Lake! Lake's adoption fee is $400

Story
This little pup 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. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2460452##

My fashion is the scruffy look, this way I can roll around and have fun and when I get up, I still look the same. Ha ha! I’m also kind of a whiz at playing fetch, you know it’s a great way to stay in shape while having fun. Sometimes I’ll even stick my tongue out, so you know what this means….drop the treat! I’d love to be your “catch” so let’s meet soon!

Olivia is full of spunky charm and bright-eyed enthusiasm, is a delightful ball of energy and affection. At almost 1 year old, she's in the prime of her youthful exuberance, still retaining much of her puppy playfulness while beginning to settle into a more refined routine. Rat Terriers are smart cookies! Olivia picks up new tricks and will learn house rules quickly, thriving on positive reinforcement and mental stimulation. Behind all that energy is a heart of gold. She adores snuggles, especially after a good play session, and will form a strong, loyal bond with her family.
