Story
Moodonna is really enjoying her time in her foster home, but this sweet girl is ready to be adopted!Moo`s foster mom says: `Her favorite things to do are to creep on the neighbors, watch the neighborhood critters, or pass out on the hot concrete.As far as the outdoors goes, we have her on a tether whether she is in the front or back yard. I’m a helicopter pup parent so I’m always out with her. She very quickly learned that when I say “careful” she is close to the end of her tether so she can slow down.Moo gets so excited she jumps on people impulsively still, but listens as soon as you say “off”. She gets the zoomies often some days, especially when she is seeing the boys or my partner after they’ve been gone/busy for a few days.When she is inside, no potty accidents, no getting into things she isn’t supposed to. After slowly testing her, we now are more than comfortable with leaving her to roam the house freely when we are out. Moo prefers the days where I work from home or my partner is working on the truck outside.You guys must have done some amazing work with this girl! Thank you!Moodonna is 5-years-old and weighs 48 lbs!Adoption Fee: $200Estimated Date of Birth: 12/1/18Intake Reason: Transferred in from animal control with mom and littermatesAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
This sweet lady is Tombstone. She is a 2 year old boxer/pit mix. She got her interesting name because she was found running at large in a Peoria cemetery. She completed stray hold at Peoria County Animal Protective Services and no one came to reclaim this beauty. She will help you with yard work picking up all the sticks. She loves sticks, she will drop them nicely when asked. She as very sweet and loving both treat and attention motivated. She has a loud mouth but it is all for show. Give this (not so) little lady a bit of time to warm up and you`ll have a partner in crime.

This handsome man is Roman! Have you ever wanted the sweetest pit bull ever? Then look no further! Roman is a 3 year old blue pit/hippo mix with the sweetest face you`ll ever see. He was dumped by his owner before getting picked up and making his way to us. We can`t understand who would dump such a caring and sweet boy. He does have a lot of energy but he also loves a good cuddle with a blankie. Roman is looking for his furrever home!!

Story
To gaze upon this pup is to stare into some incredibly soulful, human-like eyes. You can’t look away and you just have to spend some time with him. At 9- months, he presents some typical puppy behavior but also sits on command with a patient regal pause awaiting his treat. His puppiness shows when he gets a little frisky and wants to nibble with those puppy teeth- totally developmentally normal…. so chewy options are a great pivot to redirect this behavior. He’s a delight! Apply for this handsome boy at tapsshelter.org

Story
Hubble is such a good dog on his own. He is very sweet and loving. He loves to run a play, he's a big chewer, and loves to cuddle in bed all night if you let him. We got him as soon as he was able to be away from his mother at 8 weeks, and have given him a loving home for just about a year. He was born September 18th, 2023, and we brought him home to meet our other dog in mid November. The issue we have now is that as he is getting older, he's struggling a bit with other dogs. He loves people, but has had a few small fights with our other dog. We love Hubble so very much and have done everything we can to provide him a good home. He's been very well taken care of and loved this whole time, but after they had a fight the other day which resulted in a vet visit (everyone is fine, mostly just shaken up), we've decided that what would be best for him is a home where he isn't competing for attention with other dogs. We hope someone can give him the home we know he deserves.

Story
Hi, I’m Celica! I’m a sweet girl who loves attention and a lap to lay in now that my puppies no longer need me. I am a happy 2 year old pit bull, I am so happy that I developed happy tail. My tail wouldn't heal so it had to be amputated. I am house trained and crate trained. I walk well on a leash and prefer to go on leash walks or be on a tie out as I can climb chain link fences and jump a 3 foot baby gate/pen. I get along well with the other dogs in my foster home and I do well with the 3 and 1.5 year old human kids, cats is unknown. I am very food motivated and eager to please so learning commands and house manners should come easily. I love being with my humans and going for car rides!  Celica's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped with registration, heartworm tested negative and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. If interested please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##2184599##
