Story
Spider- Terrier/pit bull. Female 2 yrs 2 mo. This special little gal is partner in crime to Web. She is sweet and spunky. Her hind legs are bowed, which present some unique spider-like maneuvers to her movements/mobility. Additionally, she may be a candidate for little doggy diapers as she currently shows struggle with controlling her pottying. She is looking for a special human to love and care for her. As you pass by her kennel and see her hind legs folded underneath her and her chin resting upon her front legs, you just want to scoop her up!

Brown Sugar- Male Terrier, Pit Bull This handsome 1-year old pittie boy with the beautiful coat is Brown Sugar. This guy is a BALL of energy… I think he would have played fetch all day!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Zeus is an amazing dog, he is good with kids, cats, snakes and all sorts of breeds. It breaks my heart to have to rehome him but my daughter has been struggling through asthma. They recommended she not be around him but that's quite impossible as they love him. He turned 6yrs old December of 2025. We removed him off listing because it breaks our heart letting him go, but his brother got rehomed, and he needs more love than we can give him.

Size

Story
Talia and Bane were found wandering the streets in Xmas day. They were taken to the local shelter in the hope their family would claim them, but sadly they did not. The pair were scheduled to be put down so I took them back in to find a better home. The pair are loving and sweet, full of playful energy but perfectly content snuggled up with their people and each other. Would prefer to rehome them together, but would both thrive independently as well.

Peoria, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Copper has surprised his foster mom with how well he listens. Don't let looks fool you! He does have the occasional burst of energy that you'd expect from his breed but this 1 year, 3month old sweetheart would actually rather snuggle than fetch. This great pitty boy loves to play but will beat you to the couch. He is good with other dogs, cats, and children. He knows basic manners but still needs help on the leash. He does not mark in the house but is still working up the duration in the kennel. He comes neutered, microchipped, his vaccinations are up to date, and he is on flea/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $300. Apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##2626688##
