Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Big energy, bigger heart. This 14-month-old girl is sweet, playful, and full of happy energy. She’s potty trained, great with kids and other animals. She loves attention and being part of the action. She would do best in a home with a yard where she can run and burn off her energy. Like many young dogs, she’s still working through puppy behaviors such as jumping, chewing, and digging, so she’ll need someone who has the time and commitment to continue her training. With structure, exercise, and love, she’ll make an amazing companion.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Collinsville, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Duke is a good boy who needs a home where he can get the attention he needs. We moved into a smaller house/yard, then had a baby, and Duke has been having a hard time since. He needs a home with other dogs to play/be with. Someone who can be patient with him and give him the amount of attention he requires. He is good with children and other pets, cats and dogs. Our baby loves him. He is a sweet cuddle bug and fierce protector of the house. My problem is Duke has very bad separation anxiety. He chews up things if he feels confined when alone and will hurt himself trying to escape a crate. We love him but I feel we aren't meeting his needs anymore.

Story
Sassie is a sweet and loving dog. Loves cuddling, especially under the covers by your feet. 8 years young and full of soft energy. Unfortunately with already having an infant and plans of more children in the future, Sassie is not getting the attention she deserves. Her separation anxiety is getting excessive. From being a rescue dog she has been a great family dog but it is time for her to be united with a new family.

Keyesport, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
This is Rusty he was brought to us by a friend as a temporary situation which turned into permanent/long term. He was found abused and chained up outside without food or water. We rehabilitated him back to healthy and gave him a good doggie life for the last 1.5 year. However, we have moved to a smaller home and no yard for him to run freely. He is a good dog but needs more attention as he loves people. He is crate trained and stays in one while we work or leave the house as he doesn't like being alone. He is house trained but still likes to chew when no one is looking. He does fine when he has toys and bones. Very loving and affectionate we just simply dont have the time or space for him anymore sadly and would like to find him a good home.
