Story
CHANCE – have you ever seen a more handsome fella? Just a few things about this sweet guy. The vet believes that Chance is between 18mo - 2yrs old and weighs 59lbs. • He is heart worm negative and neutered. •He is super sweet and gentle - wants to cuddle and be near his person. •He is dog-friendly (the foster doesn’t have cats, so we are not certain if he’s cat-friendly) •He is people-friendly to everyone he has met. Foster does not have small children, but he has been fine around children on walks. Due to his size and youth, he might knock down small children, but he is not aggressive. •He is house broken. Even in the rain and snow he has let us know he needs to go out. •He is a little timid to new people at first, but warms up quickly. •He very rarely barks. •He has learned to sit, walk on a leash, and “wait” for his food bowl to be put down. •He is very food motivated, so can be easily trained with treat rewards. He is not reactive when eating. •He can be possessive over certain toys with a low, warning growl if another dog tries to take it from him. •He is not interested in fetching a ball, but loves chew toys and antlers. • He can be very active, but is also happy cuddled up with his person. •He would do great in a house with another dog, but would be fine as an only dog also. Once adopted Chance will travel via private transport (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
Say hello to Kita! Kita is a sweet girl who is dog friendly and loves to play. She is an Akita which are high energy, intelligent, and thick coated dogs. She is very affectionate and will roll around on her back for belly rubs! She generally walks well on a leash as well. Kita has shown signs of resource guarding in the shelter and will need a home comfortable working on it with her. She will do best in a home without young children due to the guarding tendencies. Kita can be a bit jumpy and likes to play rough- she sometimes uses her mouth to play and will need help learning that most people prefer to not use their hands as toys. Kita is very food motivated and will do well with training as long as you have a snack! If you think Kita could be the dog for you, come and meet her at Anti-Cruelty!

Story
Adorable Akitas!!! Kilo, tan coat,  is a 6 year old male and Nala, white coat, is a 4 year old female. Would like to keep them together.  Both are up to date with vaccinations and are altered. They are both house trained and were crate trained, but no longer needed. They are good with both adults and kids, are very lovable and obedient and love to be outside, especially in cooler temperatures!   If you think they might be a fit for your home or have additional questions, please contact Gia at (312)646-8887.       Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application.

Story
Luna has become accustomed to her housemates over time. In the beginning there were several fights over food and toys. As long as she is fed separately she is ok, otherwise she will eat all the food. Same with toys , she must be played with separately otherwise she will stuff all the balls in her mouth. Chew toys are hers. She is great on walks , can sit and has learned stay. Has a tendency to get stubborn especially with coming back inside. Doesn't like too many other dogs. Has trouble, gets aggressive around small children. Is a little picky about who she let pet her. Otherwise I haven't seen aggressive behavior with the family in the house and is quick to flop on her back for a belly rub. Loves laying on the couch and looking out the window. Also loves to sit outside and watch, everything. She is a chewer and a digger. On walks must pay attention because everything goes in mouth. Would be great in a home where she is the only pet, loves treats and chew toys.
