Story
ATTENTION, LADIES... Wakanda would like a word. Single? Married? Retired? Crazy dog lady? Doesn't matter. If you're kind, patient, and hand out treats, Wakanda is pretty sure you're wonderful. Gentlemen... he's going to need a little more convincing. Wakanda definitely plays favorites. If he decides you're one of his people, congratulations—you've just gained the world's most loyal 16-pound shadow. He'll happily follow you from room to room, snuggle under a blanket, and proudly carry around his beloved emotional support lamb like it's the most valuable possession on Earth. Strangers, however? They're currently on his "I'll need to investigate this further" list. As the self-appointed Neighborhood Watch Captain, Wakanda believes it's his civic duty to let everyone know when someone new arrives. His résumé includes: Carries his emotional support lamb everywhere Olympic-level blanket burrower Toy collector extraordinaire Treat enthusiast (bribery works) Walking buddy Professional snuggler Fiercely loyal best friend So why is he this way? Wakanda was one of more than 50 dogs rescued from the Wauconda hoarding case. He didn't grow up learning that people could be trusted or that the world was a safe place. Everything he knows about being a dog, he's learning now. And honestly? He's doing an amazing job. He's crate trained, potty trained with reminders, loves walks, adores women, and has discovered that blankets are one of life's greatest inventions. He just needs a family willing to keep helping him build confidence. His forever family should have: A quieter home with a securely fenced yard Older kids or adults Patience and consistency A commitment to continue working with a trainer to help him become more comfortable around strangers and new situations Every week Wakanda gets a little braver. Every week he trusts a little more. Every week he discovers something wonderful that most dogs have known all their lives. Now all he needs is someone willing to finish the journey with him. He didn't get to choose how his story began... but together, we can make sure it has the happy ending he deserves. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a huge heart, an emotional support lamb, and enough personality for three dogs, Wakanda is waiting to meet you. P.S. Ladies, you'll probably be his favorite by the end of your first date. Gentlemen... bring treats. Lots of treats.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 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 adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2460452##

Story
Savvy is a beautiful, fun-loving girl who is ready to find an active family to keep up with her adventurous spirit! This sweet girl is spayed, potty trained, and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion for a family ready to continue helping her thrive. Savvy loves being active and enjoys going on walks, playing with her dog friends, and spending time with her people. She also knows how to relax after a fun day—her favorite activities include napping, soaking up attention from humans, enjoying treats, and showing off her toy-destroying skills! (She believes toys are much more fun once she gets to the inside of them!) Savvy gets along with most dogs, but like many dogs, she has certain dogs and people she feels unsure about and can be reactive in those situations. She will need a family committed to continuing her training and helping her build confidence and positive associations. She can also pull on leash when she spots exciting things like birds and squirrels, so continued leash work will help her become the best walking buddy she can be. Savvy loves children, but because of her size and strength, she should be supervised around them to make sure everyone has the best experience. A home with cats is likely not the best fit for this girl, as she enjoys chasing and engaging with things that catch her attention. Savvy would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, hikes, runs, or other adventures and is willing to continue working with her on her reactivity. She is a smart girl who has so much potential and will reward her family with loyalty, affection, and plenty of fun. Savvy has experienced one seizure, and we want to be transparent with her future family. We are currently evaluating the cause and closely monitoring her health. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who loves adventure just as much as she loves a good nap, Savvy might be your perfect match! Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 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 adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2716756##

Fizzy is full of fizz and fun! She has plenty of energy and loves to play, especially with other dogs who can keep up with her! She’s also a total cuddle bug once playtime is over. Her favorite things include playing with dog friends, treats, getting attention, and going for walks. Her dream home would be an active one where she can stay busy and, if she has canine siblings, they’d better be ready to PLAY! Fizzy is a very sweet girl who’s ready to bring lots of fun, love and personality to her forever family.
