Story
Peppermint Bark is a spayed, cheerful girl with a sweet spirit and a happy outlook on life. Despite having a very difficult past—she was heartbreakingly left behind when her previous owners moved, with severely overgrown fur and mammary tumors—Peppermint Bark has remained loving, gentle, and full of joy. She is now receiving the care and love she deserves and is ready for a forever home of her own. She is potty trained and also comfortable using potty pads indoors, crate trained, listens well on a leash, and does well with other dogs. Peppermint Bark’s happiness is contagious—she expresses it with adorable “happy dances” on her back legs, big joyful stretches while lounging, playful air nips with clicking teeth, and a tail that spins like a little helicopter. Peppermint Bark enjoys food, relaxing on the couch (not sleeping—just quietly observing), being near her people without needing to be on top of them, and going for long outdoor walks when the weather is mild. She isn’t very interested in toys or playtime and prefers a calmer, more relaxed lifestyle. Her ideal home would be with people who enjoy companionship but also appreciate an independent dog who is content to explore, relax, and spend time looking out the window. She loves humans but is not a Velcro dog—just a happy, well-balanced companion. Because of her breed, Peppermint Bark will need a family committed to regular grooming to keep her comfortable and healthy. With her cheerful personality, gentle independence, and sweet presence, she is ready to settle into a forever home where she can continue to thrive.   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
Mushu- 4 month old shitzu mix who will likely be 15 pounds full grown. We do it know what day was or how much this girl will shed. A little pup full of joy! Sweet little Mushu only takes on her dragon persona when finding "treasures" to bring back to her lair! She loves her little collection of toys and socks, plays beautifully with other dogs and little kids, and is not a "hyper" puppy. She is still working on house training but goes potty well outside. She loves her crate, snacking on carrots, and finding little cuddle spots where she can chew on her treasures! Mushu is a happy little sweetheart who will make the perfect family dog and best friend!   Please visit our website www.forgoodrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Roscoe has been happily settled in his foster home for nearly four months now. He's comfortably gotten used to his foster family's daily routines. Most of his day is spent curled up on the couch, happily snoozing. Roscoe’s favorite person is his caring foster mom; he loves following her around. When she's not around, he patiently waits for her return. As soon as she walks through the door, he excitedly rushes to greet her with a big, happy welcome. Roscoe truly enjoys bedtime stories with his foster baby, cherishing those special moments of being close and even giving the occasional sweet kiss.

Story
Foster Update: "Here is what I know about them so far : 1. They Love their little crate they came in with . They want to be in there together 70 percent of the time. 2. Gino is more adventurous. 3. They are mostly potty trained . They go out to the yard and use the bathroom . They also use the pee pads . Gino will occasionally mark , but not terrible. 4. They used to bark and growl at my dogs in their crate whenever they saw them. I've been doing slow intros and they now are totally fine with them . They were just scared . I'd recommend slow intros and no teenage dogs /jumpy mouthy dogs for them. My Tilly (formally your Tilly ) 85 pound dog used to be so scared of them 😂 Now she's getting better :) They are such great easy dogs . They really love each other , so may be a bonded pair , but they are so little it's easy having two."
