Stitch is a compact bully/terrier mix with a full-sized heart!  This young man is as sweet as can be.  He's also scared of the world which makes him act braver than he is.   He needs someone who can offer him the training he needs so he finds the confidence to navigate this scary world.  He is a 5-pound lap dog in a 40-pound dog's body.  Are you ready to be his perfect person? January 3, 2026, 3:29 pm

Female, Adult
Thompsonville, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lydia is still on the hunt for a perfect home. Very high energy, needs to be an only pet, not good with other dogs or cats (which is why she is needing a new home). Sweet girl, loves people, would need a fenced in yard as she will run and run. 2 years old and spayed. I worry about a home with small children as she has a high prey drive. Asking a small rehoming/adoption fee as I want to insure she goes to a good home. She's a good girl, just not suited for our home as we already had dogs and cats, and now and infant and I dont want her set up for failure. She was bottle fed by me from a week old so she is very loved just not the right fit, she will come with her crate blanket and toys. Message me for any more info!
