Story
Seeking: Active human(s) with a good throwing arm, a sense of humor, and room in their life for one extremely handsome adventure buddy. Hi, I’m Westin, a 1-year old, 57 pound American Bulldog mix with big puppy energy, a big heart, and an even bigger enthusiasm for life. My ideal match enjoys things like hiking, running, biking, playing fetch, and being lovingly followed around by a very loyal sidekick. I’m young, smart, and still polishing up my gentleman skills, so sometimes I get a little too excited about life and may forget that not everyone wants to be greeted like they just won the lottery. Because of that, I’d do best in an adult-only home or one with teens who can help keep me on the right track. The good news? I’m not just a cute face. I already know sit, down, stay, and paw, and I’ve been working hard to become my best self. I’ve even attended training classes and completed Puppy Basics, Canine Manners, and Agility. I love classic date activities like fetch, tug, and outdoor adventures, but I’m also a brainy boy who needs mental exercise too. Puzzle toys? Yes. Learning new tricks? Absolutely. Tiny little jobs that make me feel important? Sign me up. And while I do love staying busy, I’m not all go-go-go. I’m also very into snuggles, couch time, and hanging out with my people. Bonus points if you already have a playful dog friend for me, because I’d love a canine buddy to share my adventures with. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, active young dog who’s got a great foundation and tons of potential, I might just be your perfect match. My adoption fee is sponsored! McLean County residents will just need to pay a $15 rabies registration fee. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
He's a sweet boy. Wouldnt hurt a flea.But he is ever emotional arousal driven. If you're not sure what that is Google before, you think about adopting him. He needs experience dog handler. Not an expert, but has a basic understanding of dog psychology. I can't give him. The emotional stimuli he needs and the proper amount of exercise. If you're up to the challenge, contact me.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Fergus is a 3-year-old male American bulldog mix who is available for adoption at CCHS! Fergus was returned to us because he was becoming a bit too overstimulated by other dogs and distractions in his new home. His relinquisher thought he needed a home where he can go outside and sniff without having to be alert, and that he may not be the best fit for overstimulating downtown living. He is a wiggly boy, gives kisses, he is laid-back and gentle, and very tolerant of handling. He is patient when it comes to walk time, and is easily redirected when it comes to distractions. Come meet this sweet boy at CCHS!

Story
Meet Alf! This 9-month-old Boxer mix is named after the lovable TV alien, but these days he’s much less “lost in space” and much more “life of the party.” Currently weighing around 46 pounds, Alf is growing into a happy, confident, and incredibly lovable companion. When Alf first arrived at a local animal shelter, the world felt overwhelming and he wasn’t quite sure how to navigate it. Fast forward to foster life, and this boy has blossomed in the best way. With patience, love, and a cozy home to learn in, Alf has discovered that life is actually pretty great, and he’s embracing it with full-body tail wags and a joyful spirit. Alf is almost fully house trained and does well in his crate, settling in nicely after a brief protest. He sleeps comfortably crated in another room and has proven to be a great mix of playful and relaxed. He enjoys everything from zooming around the yard and playing with toys to lounging in the house and soaking up attention from his people. This social butterfly truly doesn’t know a stranger. Alf is friendly with men, women, children, and dogs of all sizes, and he’s even good with cats. He’s been around kids as young as 3 years old and does wonderfully, though like many young pups, he can get a little excited and is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor when saying hello. Alf loves playing with his dog friends, whether it’s a game of chase or a snuggle break after. He’s respectful of dogs who prefer a calmer vibe and adjusts his play style accordingly. He also enjoys walks and does well on leash, though he may pause mid-walk in hopes of making a new friend because in Alf’s world, everyone is a potential best buddy. At the end of the day, Alf is the definition of a “happy dog.” He’ll greet you with his whole body wagging, follow you around like your biggest fan, and happily curl up on the couch for some quality cuddle time. Alf would do well in just about any home ready for a fun, affectionate, and social young dog. He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to his forever family. His adoption fee is $250 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
