Bishop is 4.5 yrs old. He likes walks but is pretty reactive around other dogs and small children. He is house trained and crate trained. Due to increased work load around the house he is by himself a lot and it is not fair to him. Looking to place him with a good home with time for him.

Story
Hello, my name is Max, and I am a 1 years young mixed breed. Maybe an American or French bulldog / Australian cattle dog mix? I weigh 44 lbs, and I am a stocky guy. I was an owner surrender because they had financial hardship and to move out of their house and into an apartment that didnt allow dogs. Despite all the upheaval in my life lately, I am friendly and trusting and sweet. I am a medium energy guy, and I am very quiet in the house. Because of my bulldog side, I need lots of exercise. If you have a fenced yard that I can run around, thats great. I also am really good on a leash, so if you like to take frequent walks with me, Id like that, too! I know what toys are, and I like to play tug of war with my foster dad. I am very social and friendly, and I will wag my tail for any human I encounter. My previous family had kids, and Ive had positive interactions with kids as young as 7 since coming to TAR. When I get really excited like when you come home from the grocery store I do sometimes jump up. So, it might be best if kids in my new home are at least 5, or similar weight as me or just comfortable with a dog who sometimes get really excited to see his humans. I really like to be with my humans at all times. If you leave me alone in a room, I will whine loudly. So, Id really prefer an active family where someone is with me most of the time like a stay at home parent, or a work from home person. Oh, and if youre going out, I really like car rides. Im really good in the car, so maybe just take me with you! I am house trained, and Ill go to the door if I need to go outside. My foster home has 3 other dogs, all similar size as me, and I do well with them. I ignore cats. If you have a fenced yard where we can play fetch in, Id love that! And if youre looking for a great walking buddy, I love to walk outside. One day a family is going to come meet me, says my foster family. And, when you do can expect that I will come right up to you, tail wagging and asking for pets. I may roll over for belly rubs or just climb up in your lap. And, if you left your car door open, Ill hop right in so you can take me home! I am such a sweet, social, adaptable dog that my foster mom says that any family will be lucky to have me and Ill make a great family pet. I promise that I will be by your side for the rest of my life. When you meet me, you will see that I just want to be loved and part of a family again. Will you give me my forever home? Love, Max Maxis located in our foster home in Downers Grove. To meet Max , please complete an adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-dog-adoption/ Sorry, Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of Illinois Thank you for choosing to adopt! Please visit our website www.treasuredanimalrescueinc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Chucho, a 2-year-old pocket pittie (plus mystery breed?) with an extra-curly tail, a mastery of lounging on the sofa, and a shameless quest for snacks and snuggles. He's eager to please and once he feels safe and familiar with someone he'll be your dedicated sidekick. He loves rewards (of the food or praise variety), making it a breeze to teach him commands and your expectations. He likes to be mentally engaged as much as he likes to be physically engaged, but also enjoys hanging out in the sun, in front of the tv, or looking out a window. He thrives with a slightly older, well-balanced dog sibling in his house, respects cats, and excels at the role of little brother. He plays well with dog friends of all sizes and ages at daycare. Chucho is a quick learner but he's also a determined student. This helps him build strong bonds with the people in his life. He gets a little nervous in loud environments or unfamiliar settings but finds comfort in his human and animal friends. He has some leash/barrier reactivity, but his foster family has noticed huge improvements in his self-control and emotional regulation through patient guidance and consistency. He's a very empathetic dog with a huge heart and he picks up on the vibes of the people and animals in his home. Positive reinforcement and structure are the name of the game for Chucho! His perfect forever home would be one with at least one active human who likes to spend quality time working/playing with Chucho, and ideally another dog sibling for company and partner-in-crime-time. Socializing is important for Chucho, so a forever home that's willing to put him in daycare once or twice a week or have regular playtime with trusted, familiar dogs will make him a super happy boy. He's also VERY good-looking, so his future family must be comfortable getting constant compliments about how handsome he is and be prepared to spend hours adoring his adorable, jowly face.

Story
Meet Muffin! She is a deliciously sweet boxer mix girl who is looking for her FURever home. Muffin is around a year old and about 40 lbs. The first thing about Muffin that makes you fall for her is the way she looks at you and the color of her eyes. Muffin would be a great addition to any family that has someone that can be home with her most of the day or works from home.  She can get anxious when not by her humans, but Starfish is committed to helping her new family with training support so that Muffin knows she is always safe. She is a wonderful dog. She has never had any accidents in the house. She is great on walks. She listens and learned how to sit almost immediately. She is very playful and aims to please. Muffin learned to play fetch and loves it. She enjoys activity, but will also lay with you and relax. This sweet girl deserves the best - please complete the application to meet her.  The adoption fee of $200 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.
