Story
Hi, my name is Chopper or Chop as my foster Mom calls me! I was an owner surrender who ended up at the very scary city shelter. I sat there waiting for my former person to come back to get me, but they never did. I was pretty skittish when I got to my foster home but now I am settling in nicely. My foster Mom says I am a real sweetheart! I think I am a lap dog and will fall asleep with my head in her lap any chance I can get. Because I had a pretty rough start, I would do best in a home without small children or other pets. What can I bring to a new family? Well, I am crate trained and potty trained and neutered and up to date on all my shots! I have lots of love to give and will greet you always with a wagging tail. What am I looking for in a new furever home? I would like lots of cuddles and a gentle hand to pet me, a person or people to play and walk with, and a soft place to lay my head at night. And someone who will do some training with me so I know the boundaries and can fit well into your home! If you would be interested in meeting me, please fill out a pre adoption application or send an email and my foster Mom will get back to you just as quick as she can! XOXOXO-Chop

Story
This handsome mug belongs to Porkchop! Porkchop is an 11 month old Bulldog mix who weighs about 60 pounds! He is a happy boy who loves to play with the resident dogs in his foster home. He's cautious and can be a nervous nelly, so slow introductions to new dogs, kids, and humans work best for this guy. He would love to have a confident and relaxed dog buddy in his forever home! After he gets used to new people, he loves to dole out kisses :) Porkchop is pen and crate trained, and potty trained! He's a young dog so he will need continued training and direction in his forever home. He thrives with routine and repetition. This includes his walk routes! He enjoys going for walkies but he likes to stick to a route he's comfortable with since new things can be scary! Porkchop's dream home is one where his humans will keep up with his training and help him build confidence, and give hime time and space to adjust to new things. He's such a sweet buddy who loves belly rubs, attention, and food, and he always gets so excited to see his humans when they come home! If you'd like to be showered with kisses every time you walk through the door, don't sleep on Porkchop! Porkchop's adoption fee is $650.

Story
Meet Polka Dots, she's an approximately 5 month old dotty dog of some sort. Could have some dalmatian but I believe more American bulldog/border collie mix. She will be a medium to large dog when full grown. PD is your typical puppy, loves to play then settle down for a nap. She actually is pretty well behaved and not much of a chewer on inappropriate things. She likes toys. PD can also be your typical female dog, a little bossy with the other dogs. She's submissive now because she's the younger of the group here, but I can tell she will probably take an alpha role so having another submissive dog or her even being the only pet of the home will be best for long term harmony. She's about as friendly as she is cute, just adorable. PD is also doing well on the house-training but not 100% yet but doing very well. She is also a great snuggler at night. If you would like to hear more about PD to see if she will be your next new furry best friend please call Jody at 708 268-6965. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $250. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
