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.   *Please Note: Our adoption event on May 2nd will start at 1pm* 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.    *Please Note: Our adoption event on May 2nd will start at 1pm* 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.

Story
Kellie is a gentle, sweet girl who is just beginning her journey of learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She recently arrived from Kentucky and is still settling into her foster home, where her quiet, tender personality is starting to shine. Kellie would thrive in a calm, patient home with another confident and friendly dog who can show her the ropes and help build her confidence. She can be wary of men, loud sounds, and fast movements, and she may get skittish when she sees people while out on walks, often wanting to move away to feel safe. Because of this, she’s hoping for a quiet home with someone who can be around much of the time to help her continue to adjust at her own pace. While she’s still figuring out toys, Kellie already knows she loves cozy couch time and being close to her person. She also enjoys a good chew and relaxing near the people she trusts most. With patience, love, and a steady canine friend by her side, Kellie is sure to blossom into a devoted little companion.   *Please Note: Our adoption event on May 2nd will start at 1pm* 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.
