Story
Mookie is an 8-year-old Pit Mix, weighing just over 70lbs. She has been in a foster home for a couple of years, and we are ready to get her into her forever home!! Mookie is sweet and playful, but she does prefer to be the only dog in the home. She does not get along with cats. Mookie keeps her kennel clean and enjoys playing with squeaky plush toys and snuggling in bed. She loves to go on walks with all her volunteer friends. She thinks she's a lap dog too, and it's hard to tell that little face no! Mookie's favorite outdoor activities include sunbathing and taking naps in the pool.

Story
Queenie is a gorgeous, 4 year old, 70lb pit mix who is just a giant baby in disguise. She is full of energy and loves to play! She has no knowledge of personal space and just wants to be on top of you and in your face. Queenie would do best in a home without other dogs or cats. She may do okay with teenagers. She loves to greet you with her sweet face and wagging tail. She would make an excellent companion and cuddle buddy! She is easily spooked by strange objects (ex. wheelbarrows, plastic bags), shadows, and strangers at first. Once she meets you, she is a lovebug and a goofball! Her favorite toys are giant rope toys and hard chew bones. Please help us get Queenie out of the shelter!

Shorewood, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Where are our athletes at? Marlo has never ending supplies of energy and could 100% beat you in an arm-wrestling match if she had hands. Marlo is 2 years old and guessed to be a Saint Bernard/ Pit mix. She's all muscle (weighing in right at 80lbs) and goofy loving eyes. Marlo LOVES balls: tennis balls, basketball-sized balls, giant indestruct-a-balls. You name it, she's playing soccer with it. She does need some training with play time as she gets too excited when you go to grab the toy and will try to grab it at the same time as your hand. She does enjoy jumping up onto you for love and to give kisses, too. Once she calms down a bit, she'll sometimes climb onto your lap to snuggle. Marlo needs an active and strong leader who can help her be her best! She is looking for a home without cats or young kids. She is dog-selective. Are you looking for a buff dog to join your morning workout routine? Consider this giant goofball!

Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sweet Dudley originally was adopted from us as a puppy. Now, at 7.5 years old, he's back with us due to no fault of his own. He was running around in a nearby county in rough condition. We got some weight back on him and his fur is starting to grow back as well. He's currently just under 80lbs. Despite this period of uncertainty, he's a goofy guy who seems to enjoy the company of humans and other dogs. He loves treats and hanging outside, running the fences with his neighbors. He knows sit and paw, and his favorite thing is butt rubs. Dudley does have hip dysplasia and luxating patellas, likely due to the period of his life with a lack of proper care. He is on anti-inflammatory pain meds to help with the associated discomfort. We would love to get this stocky ol' pittie mix into a home to enjoy the rest of his senior years!

Appalachia

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Joliet, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Appalachia, a three year old Pittie that arrived as a stray a few weeks ago. Poor girl was filthy and it was apparent that Appalachia has had several litters of puppies in her lifetime. She looked so sad and defeated when she arrived. She quickly perked up and enjoyed all the care and love she received with staff. She loves her bathes and got extra treats and nomms to help her gain weight. She's a very docile girl and has met several dogs while in our care and didn't seem to mind cats. Appalachia enjoys playgroup but is too mellow for all the rough housing and ruckus. It seems like she hasn't had a lot of typical dog experiences and is learning that it's okay to play with toys and zoom about. She's not timid at all, just lacks the confidence. With reassurance, she'll learn it's okay and experience the life of an indoor, family dog. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current heartworm/flea prevention, and registered microchip. She is already fixed!

Not good with cats,
Story
Introducing Jude, a two year old Pittie that was sadly left behind and abandoned in her home. Unsure what the story was, we received a call about a dog left in a home and after leaving a notice, she was removed from the home with no signs of her previous family. Jude completed her stray hold at our facility and is hoping to find her a loyal family that will add her as a permanent member to the home. Jude is quite the character and loves to play with toys and zooms around with her canine pals. Wrestling and chase is her favorite with her buddies and she would love to have another doggie brother/sister at home to keep her company. Someone that can keep up with her spirited personality and be down for all the puppy shenanigans. Jude loves treats and will gently take them your hands. She's always up to greeting everyone on her walks to say hello. She is looking for a feline free home as she thinks they are toys, not friends. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current heartworm/flea prevention, registered microchip, and spay.

Story
Our next available pup is Cosmo! Cosmo is our silly boy that's about a year and a half old. He loves to make people laugh and can be quite derpy at times. We love his brindle eye patch and his unique pattern on his cute nose. Cosmo loves to play with other dogs and will happily entice them in a game of play bow and zooms. He is looking for a home with no small dog or cats. When he's not out making friends, he's sitting at your feet, being your shadow. He loves treats and will show you his gratitude by licking every little crumb off his face. He's not the most coordinated as he'll let the treat bounce right off his head as catching it midair is too much effort. He's a big snuggle bug and he all he wants to do is make you happy and laugh! It's his comical personality that wins us over. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, heartworm/flea prevention, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed!

SCOOBY DOOBY DOO, WHERE ARE YOU?WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO NOW.SCOOBY DOOBY DOO, WHERE ARE YOU?WE NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU NOW.Scooby is an eight month old Pittie mix that was originally found as a stray. His owners were located but unfortunately, they decided not to come back for him. Scooby is such a ham and quite the character. Scooby loves romping around in his doggie playgroup with his buddies: Appalachia & Ziya. He's a big ball of energy and would love to have a canine buddy at his new home to keep him company. He's a little much for cats so a home without felines would be best for Scoobs. Scooby is very sweet and loves to crawl onto your lap after a good play session. He loves going on walks and has really enjoyed the warm weather lately. He hopes his new owners takes him on lots of adventures like hiking or just exploring new trails. Scooby is a solid boy, currently weighing almost sixty five pounds and still has plenty of room to grow. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, heartworm/flea prevention, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed!

Story
Bubba is 3 years old has a very good temperament. We have two kids, great with kids. Cage trained and walks amazing on leash. Bubba is from a breeder (all paperwork available), he did not have allergies when we got him, but sadly developed them and is more than we can handle at this time. Allergy testing was done and found he is allergic to a lot, including our species of wood floors in our house, so in hopes he would do a lot better in another home. Allergy testing results available. Unfortunately we no longer have the time or money to put into him. He is a good dog that deserves a better home than we can provide right now. Thank you. (The last photo is when he is badly flared, which is not always the case).
