Story
Meet our sweet girl Dallas, Dallas was found dumped on the side of her road with her littermates. Her mom was dumped with her but sadly had been hit by a car and did not make it so the litter was left to fend for themselves. Luckily a good Samaritan found them, but they ended up in a shelter. No place for these puppies so rescue was found for them. At first, she was so scared of people, but she loves kisses and pets from her foster family. She will sit for a treat and is down for lots of belly rubs. She's doing great with house training. She knows and responds to 'crate-up'. She is pad trained and will go to the door to go outside. She loves to play with toys and dog chews.... she is intelligent, loyal, eager to please, loves her people, and easy to train. She'll make quick friends with anyone who’ll give her a belly rub. So, if you’re looking for a furry companion who will love you unconditionally and keep you on your toes, Dallas might be the one for you. Dallas would do great in a home with another dog to help her feel secure and someone she can play with. Older children would be okay, but we would prefer a home with no young children as everyone in the home needs to understand boundaries with puppies. We hope you'll give her a chance.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.* Welcome Hannah!  This 2 year old, 50 lb pitbull mix has raised her puppies (our EE litter) and is ready to find her very own forever home!   Hannah is housebroken and crate trained, does well on a leash and in the car.  She loves to be outside in the yard, go for walks and also just enjoys hanging out with her humans and watching tv on the couch.  Hannah has proven to do well with other dogs and kids, but has not been exposed to cats at this point.  She would love a yard to run around in.  This girl would do best in a single family home, so no apartments or condos please. Hannah’s foster mom says she is a smart, motivated and loving girl.     Hannah is heartworm positive and will require heartworm treatment (provided by the rescue) so potential adopters should be within a 50 mile radius of Elgin.   Any potential adopters will speak to a member of our medical team prior to any meet and greet to fully understand what Hannah’s treatment will entail.  Hannah is also not yet spayed, however she will be (rescue cost) once her heartworm treatment is completed.  Potential adopters should be willing to continue working on training with Hannah so she continues to be a great canine citizen. Mothers day is just around the corner, and Hannah would love to have a home of her own in time to celebrate!   Hannah’s adoption fee is $350 (Includes microchip and age appropriate vaccines) *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.
