Story
I am helping a pet parent rehome their beloved dog, Bear. They required him from Arizona due to an unexpected pregnancy. Bear is 1 of 12 siblings. He and his brother are currently living in the same home, but due to littermate syndrome, Bear is not able to be the dog he has the potential to be. Bear is 9 months old. They are looking for someone who will help him become independent, confident, take the time to work with him and has patience. Bear is an energetic companion that will always keep you on your toes! He loves food, puzzles and frolicking the outdoors, so no matter where you go, he’ll always find the fun! He is extremely athletic, adventurous, curious and would probably love to try out agility, barn hunt, nose work, dock diving, et cetera. If you would like Bear to be a part of your family, please fill out an application to meet this handsome boy.

A humane investigation is how I came to Save-A-Pet. My home neglected me so I was a little rough around the edges at first. Here I’m a happy big boy that loves having fun with toys in a play yard. The amazing Canine Care staff is saying that I’m quite a playful goofball, always ready to climb into people’s lap for some loving. Oh and they also say that I have one of the best smiles around here!

Story
I originally came in as part of a humane investigation. My so called family had left me chained to a fence in the midst of a cold spell. Needless to say I was so excited when I landed at Save-A-Pet. I know I may look scary to some people with my “butchered” ears but I ended up finding a home last year. Unfortunately my guardian is getting deployed overseas. They described me as an easy-going and loving dog, very laid-back that enjoyed taking naps on the couch. Car rides are fun too and I also know all the basic commands. In the evening, I turn into a lap dog. Looking for a gentle dog, ready to love you with all her heart, then ask about me! *Teppin is part of our Take Time to Fall in Love. See our Adoption Procedures page for more details.*

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Mundelein, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Sienna is a sweet, gentle soul who recently came to Reach Rescue from animal control. She hasn’t been feeling her best just yet, so we’re still getting to know her true personality—but even now, her loving spirit shines through. This girl is happiest when she’s curled up next to her people, snuggled into a cozy blanket, or snoozing on the couch like a little cinnamon roll (yes, she snores!). She wags her tail often and adores attention, especially belly rubs, head scratches, and any kind of treat—she’s not picky! Sienna doesn’t like being left alone, so she’s hoping to find a home where someone is around most of the time. She’ll thrive with a patient, loving adopter who’s willing to give her the time and training she needs to settle in and feel safe. If you’re looking for an affectionate companion who just wants to be near you, Sienna might be your perfect match.  Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Check out this stunning boy! Figgy came to us with Mistletoe. We're not sure if they are related, but they arrived at Animal Control together so we pulled them into rescue together. It was apparent that they had been neglected and were pretty shy when they first came in. But boy, have they come out of their shells! Figgy is in a foster home and LOVES to run and play in the yard. He is very much a "people person" and loves being with his foster family. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Figgy is a good match for you!
