Story
🐾 Meet Bug, the Heartthrob Hound! 💖🐕 Hey, pawsome pals! I'm Bug, a stunning fawn and white beauty, around 2 years old, and already living the spayed life. 🌸 With a muscular physique that's sure to turn heads, I'm not just a dog—I'm a canine superstar! ✨ Guess what? I've got the whole housebroken thing down, and I'm a social butterfly, getting along swimmingly with my fellow furry friends. 🐾 To make sure I stay the picture of health, my caretakers are making sure I'm up-to-date on vaccinations. It's a small effort for a lifetime of tail wags and cuddles! 🐶💕 Quick note: While the adoption fee covers lots of goodies, these extra measures (vaccinations) aren't included. So, my future family, get ready to invest in a lifetime of Bug love! 🌈🎁 For those ready to make me their Valentine, our email is on a little break, but fear not!

Story
In the dead cold of the winter in Southern IL a co-worker had seen that someone left her as a months old puppy on a place mat in a deep ditch with a paper plate left with food but the food was all gone already. He came into work that morning and immediately told us about this puppy and that he didn't know what to do for her and where to take her. He had left her in his garage until he could figure something out. Without hesitating I told him I'd take her. That was over 6 years ago now. We have come to the notion that this poor puppy had to be abused before she was left in the ditch. The most petrified dog i've ever witnessed when unknown people come into her "home", our house. We have tried training and anything possible to try and help her with her past but we unfortunately nothing has worked. We wont take her to a kill shelter bc it's not her fault what she's dealt with and deserves a good life. If we didn't have two infants and a busier life now we would continue on.

Story
Beautiful brindle Susie is a 2 year old gal who needs a good home! Requirements: 1) Must give frequent belly rubs 2) Must accept that Susie Q is likely to love you so much, she becomes a Velcro dog. She is dog selective. Must have meet n greet with your dog. Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and heartworm free/on prevention. Come meet sweet Susie! She has been here for weeks with NO interest at all. She tends to get too excited when someone is coming to see her, and it can be a little off putting! But when she calms down, she's so, so, so, sooooo loving! In a different environment, she will be a totally different dog. She really needs out of here. Can you be her hero?July 13, 2024, 3:45 pm

Story
Snoop Dog is a great boy looking for a crib to call his own! He knows the commands 'sit' and 'shake!' He is so funny! He breathes and snorts like a pig, but we promise he is actually a dog!!! Come meet this fella! He's a muscular low rider who needs low exercise. He tends to overheat faster than your average pup and has a collapsed trachea from a neglectful past where he used a collar that was damaging. This makes him raspy. But he's healthy and endlessly adorable.July 13, 2024, 3:45 pm
