Story
Meet Your New Best Friend! Hello there! I'm a playful pup who loves car rides and snuggling up in my foster mom's purse. I adore playing with toys and get along wonderfully with other dogs. Right now, I'm staying in a warm and safe foster home in Buffalo Grove, IL. My foster mom is taking great care of me until I find my forever family. Please note, I'm still learning the ropes of potty training, just like a little baby! I'm looking for a lifetime commitment from loving adopters. If you're interested in adopting me, please apply atthecharlieprojectdogrescue.com. Once approved, you'll pick me up in Buffalo Grove. Important Information Adoption Fee: $800, which includes my microchip, vaccines, deworming, and spay/neuter at our rescue vet. If you prefer your vet to handle the spay/neuter, well reimburse $100 with proof, provided it's done before I'm six months old. An enforceable contract will be signed to ensure this. If you're renting, please have your landlord ready to email us confirming that dogs are allowed in your home. We're eager to find a forever home, but please apply through our website, as we do not respond to emails from Petfinder. Thank you! Please visit our website www.thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Eddie just can’t seem to catch anyone’s eye or heart. He’s a precious boy, estimated to be 10 years old, weighing about 20 lbs. But for Eddie, age is just a number!! He’s an active, fast-moving, but cuddly guy. He is looking for a family who will play with him, play ball, and make sure his toy box is overflowing with toys of all kinds. Once he’s finished playing, he will want to cuddle under the covers with his person! Eddie absolutely needs another dog or even two, in his family. He’s more of a follower than a leader! He gets along with dogs of all sizes and loves to out-sprint everyone, racing around the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. Older kids (12++) may be ok but he’s too energetic for younger ones. Eddie is housebroken; he does not need to be crated when left home alone. When his person is home, he absolutely loves to be nearby!! Eddie is in overall good health, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and heartworm negative/on year-round heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adding this precious pup to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in Barrington IL, and adopts only local to our area.

🥜 Meet Butternut! 🐾 Butternut is currently at a Texas shelter looking for a way out. He needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to make the trip June 2nd. This adorably curious gentleman is Butternut — a medium-sized, full-hearted pup with ears so big they might pick up satellite signals 📡 (okay, maybe not, but they are impressive). When he perks them up, you know something exciting is happening — like a squeaky toy sighting or the crinkle of a treat bag. 👀 Butternut is a sweet-natured boy who loves a good petting session and will happily soak up your affection. But if you’re busy, no problem — he’s got plenty to explore and will politely investigate all the sights and sounds around him like a canine detective 🕵️‍♂️. Toys? He’s more of a “sniff and observe” connoisseur, but hey, every toy needs a fan club, right? He might bark a little when you first approach his kennel, but it’s just his enthusiastic way of saying, “OH HI FRIEND!!” — definitely not a complaint, just pure excitement with a sprinkle of manners. Butternut walks beautifully on leash, is easy to manage, and takes treats so gently you'd think he’s royalty (Sir Butternut of Snackington, anyone?). He knows how to sit like a pro and is doing a fantastic job learning his potty skills. Tricks? Not quite yet. Charm? Off the charts. 📈 With a low to medium energy level, Butternut is the perfect sidekick for someone who wants a little adventure, a lot of love, and the occasional goofy grin. 💛 Come meet Butternut — he’s got ears to hear your secrets, eyes to melt your heart, and a whole lot of love to give. 🐶✨ 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝: Rat Terrier/Staffordshire mix 𝐀𝐠𝐞: 1 year old 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫:Male 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞: 37lbs 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐲/𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝: Yes 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝: Unknown 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝: Unknown 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬:Good 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬: Yes 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐬: Unknown 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬: Unknown 𝑻𝒐 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑨𝑫𝑶𝑷𝑻 or 𝑭𝑶𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑹: www.muttlife.org Adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter procedure, up-to-date dewormer, vaccinations, heartworm prevention (age appropriate), and certified veterinarian inspection within 30 days of adoption. __________ Review adoption requirements and ensure you meet the necessary criteria to apply! https://www.muttlife.org/adoption-policies _________ ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.)

Story
My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. Clicking on my picture is the first step in getting to know me! Potential adopters always ask a lot of questions about me. Here are the most common ones:Q: What is your back story?A: I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. I am on the shy side, but with love, patience, and encouragement, I continue to gain confidence.Q: Are you housebroken and crate-trained?A: Yes to both! In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. Q: Are you good with dogs, cats, or kids?A: I am dog-friendly. I am timid so children would be too scary for me. It’s okay if they visit once in a while as long as I have a quiet place away from all the activity. I am not sure how I would be with cats.Q: Do you chew furniture, etc.?A: Nope. Not at all. I spend most of my day curled up in my doggie bed under a blanket. I’m so quiet that you hardly know I’m there!Q: Can you be left home alone?A: Yes! Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper.Q: Do you need a fenced-in yard?A: Yes. I do not potty on a leash so I will need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one. Besides, I LOVE running around the backyard and having fun!Q: What is your ideal forever home?A: In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly or cuddle-bug that wants to meet everyone. An overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming. Q: Anything else we should know?A: I am up-to-date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, neutered, and in overall good health. I weigh about 15 pounds. Oh, and I LOVE cheese!Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence o
