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
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. If you would like to make this pretty boy part of your family please follow the link below to our application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
We have no idea why she’s been waiting so long. She is obviously gorgeous and sweet! She is a careful girl but loves her people fiercely! She is more nervous around new men, but warms up fine as she looooooves her foster dad so much. She is an active girl and loves to run and play with other dogs. In fact, she tends to do best with other dogs around because they help her feel more confident and secure. This pretty girl needs nothing but a little patience and love. If interested in meeting Gigi, fill out an application today! https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc. We are a group of individuals that have come together to save the lives of animals that are in danger of being euthanized. We raise funds to fully vet the animals and to provide them with a stable home until they are adopted. All of the dogs in our Rescue are in Foster homes while they are looking for their forever family. The only time we put a dog in boarding is for a Foster to go on vacation if another Foster is not able to care for them. We appreciate your taking the time to fill out the application to adopt one of our Guardians of the Green Mile pets. The questions that we ask are to only find the right fit for all of our dogs and the families that will be adopting them. Adoption donation is $300.00 for dogs over 1 year old and $350 with a $50.00 spay / neuter deposit for puppies/dogs under 1 year old.

Yes, I have a pretty face, but I’m also smart as a whip, which means my forever family should have experience with active breeds that need both physical and mental stimulation. Training and agility classes would be idea for me and I love going on nature hikes and swimming in the lakes and nearby dog parks. I also have a keen sense of my surroundings; I’m attentive and curious about new people and places. My ideal home should include a fenced yard. I love to run and play outside, enjoy long walks, rides in the car, and can also hang out at home with people. If you’re active, plan to take me with you! A balance of outside time and being with people is a perfect mix for me, but I’m nothappy when left at home alone. I’m at my best when I can count on being with my loving family. My favorite indoor pastime is chewing a strong Nylabone because it helps manage my young teeth. I also love tennis balls and tough squeaky toys. Going to doggie daycare is a real treat because I really enjoy playing with other dogs. I’ve been given high marks for good behavior at daycare. I would be happy as a sole dog with a single person or a family that has solid dog experience. If there’s another dog in the house, my best companion is a soft-hearted adult retriever or retriever-like dog between 2-6 years old. I like adult female dogs, too, but they can be put off bymy good looks, charm, and sharp mind. Yes, they’re jealous and don’t always like me. But, I keep trying because I like them. I am spayed and microchipped along with a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey. Love and Licks  SierraApril 28, 2024, 10:30 pm
