*****AVAILABLE NOW-I am in Yorkville Il awaiting my forever family******* Hi Everyone, My name is Oscar and I would like to add some wags to your tail. I am a precious 7 month old Teddy Bear (Shih Tzu/Bichon) baby who is looking for my forever people!! True to the adorable-sounding name, Teddy Bear dogs are a hybrid or designer cross breed of a Shih Tzu and a Bichon Frise. They are also known as a Zuchon or Shichon. Teddy Bear dogs are small in stature, but they make up for it with big hearts. They are loyal, loving to a fault, and capture the hearts of anyone they lay their eyes on. These dogs captured the hearts of the world around the 2000s when the designer breed became truly popular. I am going to make an excellent addition to a loving family!! I am adorable, smart, loving and sweet as sweet can be. I have a great temperament!! Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am a breeder release due to the failing economy. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (Neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested if age appropriate, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Oscar 332500901402353J

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Kelsea Ballerini! Kelsea is a 2 year old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who weighs about 15 pounds. This cute lady loves other dogs and tends to look to the resident dog in her foster home for guidance and reassurance. We think she would love to find a home with another small dog to keep her company since she loves to cuddle up to a dog friend! Kelsea's foster family is working on helping her feel safe and comfortable in a home environment while also introducing things like potty training and leash walking. She loves her crate and treats it like her safe space! Since she's still learning to trust human friends, Kelsea will need a patient adopter and will do best in a quieter home environment. Submit an application if Kelsea is the dog for you! We promise that she will entertain you with her sock stealing and plushy toy carrying ways! Adoption fee: $625.

Story
Meet Tinker! She is guessed to be about 4 years old and weighs 10.5 lbs. She is a really sweet girl who will make a great companion. She's sweet, well-behaved, and lovable. She rides well in the car and does wonderful on walks. She would love her own fenced in yard with grass to roam and play in. She does have some narrowing of spaces between her vertebrae, Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). It will be important to ensure she does not jump on or off furniture, does not engage in high impact activities, or activities which could cause back strain- like sudden changes of direction, and that she maintains a healthy weight. Complications with IVDD can lead to paralysis and incontinence, so it is best to manage and prevent any back strain. Because of the IVDD she does have a slightly abnormal gait, but she gets around with no issues right now. Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (age appropriate), fecal tested and/or dewormed, and microchipped.

Story
Hi, I'm Lindy and I am so glad you are taking a look at me. I am currently in a foster home waiting to meet my forever family. I am a very sweet, loving girl who loves spending time with her humans! I can be a little shy at first. I am sensitive to touch so grooming/vet appointments can be a little stressful for me and I need time to warm up to new faces before I feel comfortable with petting. I am not the biggest fan of other animals and would love to be the only child of the household! An adult-only home without any other animals would be my dream home. Once you have gained my trust I will be your best friend - I love going for walks, car rides, and even to the store! If we sound like a good fit for each other, please contact the North Aurora location to set up an appointment to meet with me! For more information, email northaurora@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 80, and the staff will be happy to help you. I hope to meet you soon! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
