Observe. Take it all in.And then one day… she decides you’re hers.And that’s when everything changes.The first time she trusts you enough for cuddles?You’ll understand exactly how she got her name.She melts into you.Leans in.Stays close.Not because she has to — because she chose you.⸻Cuddlebug is a 25 lb wire-haired beauty with the most soulful brown eyes and those big, expressive ears you won’t forget. She’s got a unique little mix that gives her both softness and personality — the best of both worlds.She’s:✔️ Spayed✔️ UTD on vaccines✔️ Mostly housebroken (will use puppy pads if needed)✔️ Good with dogs✔️ Kid friendly✔️ Working on leash skills and confidenceShe loves:• Lounging in the sun• Playing with her dog friends (with a little sneak-attack energy 😏)• Chew toys• Quiet cuddle time on the couch or in bed⸻This is not an “instant best friend” dog.This is a slow-burn, earn-it kind of love.The kind that unfolds quietly…and then suddenly feels like it’s always been there.If you want a dog who chooses you —not just anyone —Cuddlebug is that dog.⸻Adoption Details:• DOB: 9/15/25 | ~25 lbs | Terrier mix (per paperwork)• Adoption fee: $500• Located in Kenosha, WI👉 Apply to adopt at www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
ARROW 🤍Born to love. Just waiting for someone to love back.Arrow is what happens when you mix a little fluff, a little muscle… and a whole lot of heart.At 6 months old (DOB: 09/15/2025) and around 30 pounds, this sweet girl is equal parts cuddle bug and happy, playful pup. Her breed? Your guess is as good as ours—maybe a little Shih Tzu, maybe a little pit, definitely 100% adorable.She came to us with her sister (another total cuddle bug 💜), and while these two made it to safety, there are still 11 more siblings waiting for their chance.So yeah… this one matters.Arrow is already off to a great start—she’s housebroken, crate trained, and has really nice manners for a young dog. She settles well when you’re away, but when you’re home? She’s right by your side, soaking up all the love she can get.She loves kids, enjoys other dogs, and has that easy, happy personality that makes her fit right into family life. She’s still working on leash skills, but she’s eager to learn—and if you pick her up instead, she’s not going to complain.⸻The details:• 6 months old (DOB: 09/15/2025)• ~30 lbs• Mixed breed (Shih Tzu… pit… something in between 😄)• 📍 Kewaunee County area• Kid friendly ✔️• Dog friendly ✔️• Cats: unknown• Housebroken ✔️• Crate trained ✔️• Leash skills: in progress• UTD on vaccines ✔️• Microchipped ✔️• Spayed ✔️💰 Adoption Fee: $500⸻Arrow isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for someone to love as much as she already knows how to.👉 Apply at: www.biggiepawsrescue.org#BiggiePaws #RescueWithoutFluffDATCP # 494550

Story
Wesley is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Meet Wesley, a sweet senior Shih Tzu with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. This affectionate “velcro dog” loves being near his people and will happily follow you from room to room just to keep you company. Wesley is completely house trained and will politely paw at you or scratch at the door when he needs to go outside. Though he’s partially blind and a little hard of hearing, he gets around well and approaches life with a trusting, easygoing attitude.Thought to be around 11 years old, Wesley has wonderful house manners and does not need a crate—he actually dislikes them—but he behaves very well when left alone. He’s happiest relaxing in a cozy bed on the floor, often with a favorite stuffed toy he likes to gently carry around and cuddle. He enjoys being outside, especially rolling in the grass on warmer days, and on walks he’s curious about the world (and the occasional squirrel!). He knows “sit,” loves his meals and snack times, and especially enjoys back, chin, and ear scratches.This loving boy gets along nicely with other dogs and may enjoy having a calm canine companion, as he likes to nap beside his foster siblings when his people are away. Wesley is friendly with everyone he meets and has a quiet nature, rarely barking except to remind you if dinner is taking too long. With his sweet personality and loyal heart, Wesley is simply looking for a peaceful home where he can stay close to his people and enjoy his golden years surrounded by love.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!
