Story
Koda is an 18lb Shih Tzu/ yorkie terrier, 6 years old, up to date on his rabies shot, house trained! Loves to relax does not need to be walked very much. He is the perfect lap dog. He has some medical needs (seasonal allergies) that we are not currently able to afford and continue with due to our growing family and financial situation changing soon. He has such a great disposition and calm demeanor at home. He would be so great for a family with older children or a couple that like to relax or even work. He does not need a lot of exercise since he is older and just needs some attention at the vet. We are so sad to be making this change but at the moment we just can’t afford what he needs for his extreme allergies. Other than that he is just not great with other dogs. Fears include fireworks and thunderstorms. He also sheds a lot but other than that he is a fantastic dog! So sweet and loving!!

Story
Meet Blinky! Small Dog, BIG Personality! Blinky may be tiny, but don't let her size fool you! This adorable little girl, estimated to be about 1 year old, guessed to be a maltese/shitzu mix is packed with puppy energy, personality, and just the right amount of crazy! Blinky had a rough start. She was found wandering alone with a severely injured eye. Thankfully, some wonderful people stepped in to get her the care she needed. Although her eye couldn't be saved, Blinky hasn't let that slow her down one bit. She's too busy enjoying life! Now safe and happy in her foster home, Blinky is making up for lost time! She LOVES toys, chew bones, playing with other dogs, and most of all, her people! If you're willing to get down on the floor and play with her, you've got a friend for life. She's a little wild child who loves to run, romp, and play, but she also knows how to settle down, snuggle up, and even watch a little TV. Blinky gets along great with other dogs and does well with cats, too. She's pretty good about using pee pads, although she's still learning that rugs and pee pads are not the same thing! She's also working on outdoor potty training. Blinky is looking for a family who understands that she's still very much a puppy! She needs plenty of playtime, toys, chew bones, patience, and someone who will enjoy all her silly puppy antics. Because Blinky is so tiny, she'd do best in a home without very young children, simply for her safety. She'd be happy in a home with older kids or adults who are ready for all her puppy energy and playful antics! Blinky has already overcome so much, but you would never know it from her happy, playful personality. She's a little bit mischievous, a whole lot of fun, and full of love. One eye, a huge heart, and enough personality for ten dogs! 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 dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2886797##

Story
Meet Moondrop—5 pounds of puppy energy with an irresistible little underbite! Rescued by Waukegan Animal Control in heartbreaking condition. Another stray thrown away by the peole who originally wanted a cute little fluffy puppy. This tiny Shih Tzu is now safe with us and letting her playful personality shine in her loving foster home. Moondrop loves zooming through the house, playing with toys, and romping in the yard—as long as it’s warm! She enjoys other dogs and eagerly invites them to play. Once she’s worn herself out, she’s ready to curl up with her foster mom for a cozy nap. She’s crate trained, but housetraining is still a work in progress. Her ideal family will be young, active, steady on their feet around a speedy little pup, and ready to provide plenty of patient guidance as she learns. Moondrop is looking for a lifetime of love, playtime, and a lap to call her own. Could this tiny girl be your perfect match? Contact REACH Rescue to learn more!

Story
Meet Reese, a handsome pup around 7 yrs old with a heart full of love and a serious appreciation for sunny nap spots! This sweet, snuggly little gentleman has been through a lot, but he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and enjoy the good life he deserves. Rescued from CACC, Reese arrived severely neglected and painfully matted, requiring sedation to safely shave away his coat. His hair is growing back, and before long, this chocolate-colored cutie will be looking as handsome on the outside as he is on the inside! His hearing and vision aren`t what they used to be, so he needs a little extra patience as he settles into a new environment. New places can take some getting used to, but he’s already made wonderful progress learning to feel comfortable and safe.His favorite things? Gentle pets, snuggles, toys, and finding the perfect sunny spot for a nap! Reese is a quiet, easygoing guy who rarely barks and enjoys a simple routine. He likes to take care of his business outside, do a little sniffing, and then head back indoors where the comforts of home await. He’s also working on his house training and making good progress. Reese gets along with other dogs, especially those who are his size, and can coexist with cats. He does well with older children and teens, too. He’s comfortable being crated at night and when his people are away, although he may need a few minutes to settle in. Reese would love a calm, loving home with someone who is home often, friendly canine companions, and plenty of cozy, sunny spots to snooze the day away. He doesn’t ask for much — just a little understanding, a gentle touch, and the chance to feel safe and loved.Could you be the one to show Reese that his golden years can be his best years?Interested in meeting this dog? Fill out an application and we will be in touch.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
