Monday is a very sweet, lovey lady with extremely high energy. She was found in our garage one morning as we left for work (on a Monday) and was skin and bones. At the time, we lived in Toledo, Oh. She does not have a microchip and her medical history is completely unknown, as well as age. She does seem very young still and is rather small. She is good with other dogs, cats, and older children. She does get very excited and would easily knock down a toddler. She gets the wiggles and the zoomies frequently and absolutely loves to cuddle. She loves being wrapped in a blanket as well. She has gained a significant amount of weight she we found her, but is not food aggressive and doesn't gorge herself. She has learn sit, stay, and down already and potties outside on a leash.

Story
Pearl is such a special girl. She’s about 3 years old, around 40 pounds, and full of love. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, clingy (in the best way), and just loves being around her people. She’s the type of dog who wants to be by your side all the time, whether you’re going for a walk or just hanging out at home. She’s potty trained, has had training, and is still learning. On walks, she’s doing better and better. She’s no longer chasing animals like before, and this is something we’ve been actively working on. She can still have some puppy moments (a little jumping on us), but she has improved a lot and continues to do so. Pearl is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She does really well with people, but she needs to be the only pet in the home. No other animals at all. She just doesn’t do well with other pets and will be happiest where she can be the only child. She also doesn’t love being alone for long periods, so she would do best with someone who is around more and wants a very loving, loyal companion. We also recommend regular potty breaks (ideally no more than about 4 hours apart), as she had a severe UTI when she was rescued that took months to treat. Keeping her on a consistent schedule helps keep her happy and healthy. One of the most special things about Pearl is her smile. She truly smiles when she sees and walks to us, and it’s something so unique and heart-melting. She has such a big heart and so much love to give. She’s honestly one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever known. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you deeply and be your little shadow, Pearl is that dog. She just needs the right home where she can feel safe, loved, and fully supported. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Hi! My name is Patty! Foster mom has been calling me Patty Cake. I am a 7 year old bully mix. I am a bit chunky, but we are going to work on that. It does not stop me from doing zoomies around the yard! I am a great mix of energetic when you want to go out for a walk and couch potato. I have no issues curling up on the couch to read or watch tv. We are still learning about personal space. I like to climb up on foster mom. I love other dogs. I am so happy to meet new friends. I have been trying to get my foster siblings to play with me. I respect my older foster sister when she tells me I am in her space. I love all people. I was so happy at the adoption event when people stopped to pet me. I may do better in a home with older kids just because I do not realize my size and could knock little ones over. I can get very exuberant. I am crate trained and potty trained. I may whine a little in my crate, but settle down. I have not had any accidents in the house. I love walks, but can be a little strong. Foster mom Is going to try and work on some leash manners. I will walk nicely until I see something I have to go check out. I ride nicely in the car too, so will have no trouble going on adventures with you! Foster mom calls me a bull in a china shop. I am a big lovable goofball. I have no concept of my size. When I went to the pet store I just kept knocking stuff over. I do make my foster mom laugh with my antics. I really want to find a home to settle into. Don’t let the fact that I am 7 scare you off. It just means I am well past the puppy stage. I have lots of love to give my family. If you would like to meet me, please call Annie at 815-685-0746. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Meet Pumpkin, an adorable bulldog mix with a big, round head and the cutest smushy face you’ll ever see! This lovable guy is not only charming with his unique looks but also has a personality that will win you over. Pumpkin is a true foodie at heart—he absolutely loves his meals and will never turn down a tasty treat. But beyond his love for food, he’s a gentle and affectionate companion with a personality that will melt your heart. Pumpkin is looking for a home where he can snuggle up with his favorite humans and enjoy all the love (and snacks!) he can get. Because Pumpkin is a brachycephalic breed, he is looking for a home with previous bulldog experience. His future adopter needs to be familiar with the unique behaviors, care requirements, and potential medical needs commonly associated with bulldog breeds, ensuring he receives the specialized care and understanding he deserves.

Story
Venus was rescued back in October. Her first week in rescue was 24/7 hospital care on IV liquids, antibiotics, and pain medicine. Her diagnosis included several broken ribs (likely from humans kicking her). We have a strong inkling that Venus somehow escaped from the life of a bait dog for dog fighting which sadly is commonplace in our state. She was very thin, every bone in her body was protruding and she had very infected abcesses all over her body from bite wounds. She had heartworms and has completed the full treatment. She has made a complete recovery and is ready to be a part of a family, something she has never had before! She does not get along with other dogs. Cats aren’t her thing either, but she makes up for it with loyalty, affection, and the sweetest temperament. Venus is ready to brighten someone’s world. Could it be yours? She is currently being fostered in Mississippi but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! Please message us if you are interested in adopting this little girl and we will send you an adoption application! We look forward to talking with you!

Story
Meet Rudy 💙 Rudy is 5-6 years old and is a deeply affectionate, people-loving boy who thrives on closeness with his humans. He loves cuddling, being petted, and will happily sleep next to you at night. Wherever you go, Rudy is likely to follow — often carrying his favorite soothing toy in his mouth for comfort. He is good with other dogs, big and small. He is also good with little kids. Rudy knows basic commands and is fully housebroken, which makes settling into a new home much easier. He enjoys playtime, especially tug-of-war, and he takes his toy destruction job very seriously (squeaker toys beware!). He walks well on leash and does best wearing a harness, ideally a front-clip harness. He may pull a little and can bark when he sees people out on walks, but he recovers quickly and continues on. This behavior appears to be excitement or uncertainty rather than aggression, and with consistency, patience, and positive training, it continues to improve. Rudy is not a fan of being confined away from his people. He will voluntarily rest in his crate when it’s open and his human is nearby, but being crated while left alone is stressful for him. He would do best in a home that understands this and is willing to help him gradually build confidence with alone time. With stability, routine, and love, Rudy truly shines. He is a cuddly, loyal companion who bonds deeply and brings a lot of joy to those around him. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will help him continue to grow into the amazing dog he already is. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
