Story
Meet Inari, a 5-year-old Akita mix weighing 86 pounds of fluffy, lovable goodness. This sweet girl is the definition of a gentle giant, with a heart every bit as big as her impressive floof. Inari is friendly with everyone she meets and is happiest when she's surrounded by people who are willing to shower her with attention. If you're looking for a dog who will happily soak up every pet, ear scratch, and belly rub you have to offer, Inari is ready to clock in for the job. While Inari could benefit from shedding a few pounds, she’s embracing her journey one tail wag at a time. With a loving family, regular activity, and plenty of encouragement, she'll be well on her way to feeling her best. If your idea of the perfect companion is a sweet, fluffy best friend who believes there's no such thing as too much affection, Inari may be the missing piece you've been looking for. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Kato: handsome, talkative, and equipped with enough husky personality for three dogs. He’ll tell you exactly what he thinks and keep you laughing. He’s charming, expressive, and undeniably cute. Kato needs an experienced husky owner and would do best as the only pet. He goes to doggy daycare and can be around other dogs, but at home he doesn’t like to share food, toys, or his people. He’s best with adults, is absolutely a ladies’ man, and respects men who aren’t afraid of him. Kato likes to keep his people in sight. When you’re in the room, he barks to ask to go outside. If he can’t see anyone, he gets anxious and may have an accident. That’s why we use daycare when we’re away. He has a high prey drive and zero recall, so he must stay on a chew resistant leash outdoors. For the right person, Kato is a funny, vocal companion who will keep life interesting. Tell me about yourself and the home you could offer him.
