Story
ADOPT OLGA! American Staffy / German Shepherd mix (we have DNA results) -Housebroken / crate-trained -Sweet, fun, loving personality -Loves other dogs / is cat curious/pesty -Spayed & fully vetted, medium energy Meet Olga! She is a petite, 45 pound pitbull/shepherd mix. She is around 4 years old and was picked up stray by animal control. She is a brindle cutie with an adorable vanilla swirl next to her nose. If you have been looking for a nice medium sized dog that loves to play with other dogs, Olga is your gal! She is fostered with dogs & cats and is cat pesty/curious. Not aggressive towards them but better with no cats or dog savvy/playful cats that can give her a swat and put her in her place if needed. She is bouncy and happy to see her people, so may unintentionally knock down little kids, but still would likely make a great family dog with older/dog-experienced kids. She enjoys playing in the yard with her foster brothers and snuggling on the couch. She is medium energy – not super loud/energetic, and loves lounging on the couch. She is spayed, vaccinated against distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella, heartworm negative and on heartworm/flea and tick prevention, and microchipped. She is housebroken, crate trained and fully grown at 45 pounds. Her adoption fee is $295. Her foster mom has lots of pics & videos of Olga in her foster home, please email amandarescues78@gmail.com with questions. Sound like a match? Visit www.heathersfosterdogs.org to fill out an application online, which will be forwarded to Olga’s foster mom. We are located in the south suburbs of Chicago, and adopt out to that general area and Northwest Indiana – we do not ship dogs.

Chicago Heights, IL

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ace is a sweet and lovable 8-year-old boy with a natural flair for leadership and protection. He adores kids and thrives in a solo-dog environment—unless he’s sharing a home with his brother, King, from the same litter. While Ace has a fondness for all his toys, the tug-of-war rope holds a special place in his heart, as he relishes active and engaging playtime. Ace’s adventurous spirit makes him an avid walker and neighborhood explorer. Whether you’re striving for 10,000 steps a day or simply looking to be more active, Ace is the perfect companion to keep you motivated. Rain, shine, or snow, he’s ready to be by your side, indoors or out. Ace experiences mild seasonal allergies that can lead to a bit more shedding and, occasionally, ear infections as the temperatures shift. These minor sensitivities don’t hold him back from being the loyal and spirited companion you’ll cherish through every season.

Story
King is an adorable and sweet 8-year-old boy with a passion for cuddles—he’s a true connoisseur of affection! His love language is physical touch, and belly rubs are his absolute favorite. While his enthusiasm and boundless affection may sometimes overwhelm small children, his charm is hard to resist. Another sure way to win King’s heart is through a game of fetch. With endless energy and impressive agility, he’s a pro at chasing down and retrieving tennis balls, all while helping you close your fitness rings and crush your workout goals. King thrives on outdoor adventures and daily walks, proving to be the ultimate companion for meeting your step count. His vet consistently gives him a clean bill of health, so you can count on a robust and spirited buddy. King’s acute awareness and responsiveness to sounds ensure that you’re always prepared for any visitors—invited or not. However, be mindful of his sensitivity to sudden loud noises, such as fireworks, as they can startle him.

Story
Buttercup has unfortunately found herself back with us. To no fault of her own! Buttercup was adopted from us a while back. She was a young, energetic and very social girl her first time being with us. She originally tested well with dogs and loved everyone she met! Unfortunately she found herself in a very unfortunate situation. To no fault of her previous owner, She got attacked by another dog and got the worst of it. Her physical wounds are healing well, but her trust in other dogs was destroyed. Her owner tried everything they could to keep her and keep her safe, but due to unchangeable circumstances she was living in a very unsafe situation for her. Her owner made the decision to bring her back to us in hopes that we can find her a better situation so she can thrive again! Buttercup is still a very sweet and energetic girl but now she’s got some trust issues when it comes to dogs. She’s great with people, but will need a home with no other dogs or an experienced foster who can keep her separated from other dogs. We’re hoping we can find her a rescue who can provide her with the security she needs! And who knows… maybe with the right foster she can learn to trust other dogs again one day. 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com

Everyone meet our sweet girl Skye! Skye was dumped outside our clinic a few months ago in pretty rough shape! She was skins and bones but quick to trust us! After some TLC from our staff she has quickly gained her weight back and is almost 40 pounds now! She’s a petite girl and the cutest little girl with a huge personality. Skye can be a little protective over her food bowl which can be understandable due to the condition she was found in. She can also be a little protective over her toys so we are hoping we can find someone that can help work with her on this! She loves to give hugs and kisses and just loves attention! Available at County Line Pet Hospital 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com
