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##

Story
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!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Kylie And yes, it’s true — I may be one of the sweetest, calmest puppies you’ll ever meet. I don’t mean to brag… okay, maybe I do a little. I’m about 5 months old, a Lab/Feist mix (probably… mystery makes me interesting), and I’m a big fan of the finer things in life: mind-stimulating games, cozy cuddles, and pajamas. After I play with my sister Kendall, my foster dresses us up in the cutest outfits and we snuggle for HOURS. It’s basically a puppy spa day, every day. I’m working hard on potty training and learning new commands, and I take my studies very seriously (treats help). I don’t bite, I’m not mischievous, and I’m really just a gentle little love bug who wants to be near her people. Kendall and I are honestly the full package — sweet, affectionate, well-mannered, and ridiculously cuddly. I truly don’t understand how no one has fallen in love with me yet… but I’m hopeful you might be the one. I can’t wait to meet my forever family and start our happily-ever-after.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Kendall And yes… I have officially come out of my shell. Surprise! It turns out I’m fast, playful, petite, and powered by pure puppy energy. They say I'm a Feist/Lab mix but my foster says I'm 100% cute! I'm almost 5 months old and still waiting for a forever family! I’m basically made for an active family — especially one with a yard where I can zoom like a tiny rocket. I love other dogs (they’re my people), and I’m OBSESSED with playing with my sister Kylie. She’s my partner in crime, my bestie, my wrestling buddy. We love to cuddle in our jammies after a play sesh! At night? I’m an angel. I sleep through the night in my crate with zero accidents (please clap). During the day… okay, I’m still learning. Sometimes I miss the memo, but I’m getting better every single day and I’m figuring out how to tell you when I need to go outside. Progress, people! I’m sweet, lively, and just the right amount of silly. My fosters say I'm calm for a pup my age! Hey, I'm mature! I was born 7/11/25, which makes me young, cute, and totally ready to steal your heart (and maybe your socks). Don’t wait — apply to adopt me at projecthopearf.org I promise to bring joy, zoomies, and lots of love.  born 7/11/25   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 21, 2025, 3:18 pm
