Story
**COURTESY POST** Chaby was born in August of 2013 and still has quite a bit of puppy in him. He gets along with other dogs, but does play rough. He would make a great running buddy for an active family. Chaby is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He knows some basic commands, and is house broken. Chaby is being fostered at a day care/boarding facility, and goes out to play with other dogs in group play sessions on a daily basis. If you think you are the right home for him, please contact Dog's Life on Damen - 773-271-5577. Or you can e-mail karin.fischer@sbcglobal.net. You can also see many other Chaby playing on the Dog's Life on Damen Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dogs-Life-on-Damen/189429074413084

Kenny! All we can say is...what a stud! This handsome boy really is something special. He LOVES to play with his toys, exercise, and stretch his legs. He crates well, is clean, and has gone through a long training program that taught him the best manners possible for his new home. He loves his ladies and would make a great companion or a single woman. He comes with free training, but owners must be dedicated. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Kenny is a good match for you.

Story
Huey is an extremely handsome pit bull/lab mix. He was found in a hoarding situation with 26 other animals. He came to the shelter extremely thin and scared. He was so shy and shut down that he wouldn't come out of his run for months. He needs love, patience, and a quiet home that will allow him to slowly build trust. He was pretty broken when he came to us and it took him a long time to come out of his shell. He is scared of new people and new situations so he needs someone that will take their time getting to know him, and give him the space he needs to get comfortable. A fenced yard is a must for this guy.

Story
Teela is a Tennessee girl at heart! She was found running loose in bad shape down south in the land of the Smoky Mountains. She is a wild child who loves to run and must have a fenced-in yard to stretch her legs. She will stick to you like velcro so having a cozy couch is a must. She loves car rides, and will literally do anything for a treat. Unfortunately, Teela doesn't like other dogs so she will need to be the only one in the home. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com is you're interested in meeting her!

Story
Eddy was running loose for several days in the freezing cold before he was able to be trapped and caught. His survival skills are amazing! He was so scared when he first came to us and it took him a while to come out of his shell. Eddy, unfortunately, does not like other dogs so he will need to be the only one in the home. He needs an owner that will provide a nice quiet home that will give Eddy the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. He is so loving once he does! Applicants must have a completely fenced-in yard.

*Courtesy Post* There's just something about Merry! Happy. Playful. Loving. Merry came into rescue pregnant back in December (hence her festive name!). All her puppies were adopted, but momma is still looking for her forever home. She loves to play fetch. She'll even entertain herself if she has a ball! She loves to run so a fenced in yard is preferred. She is ok with other dogs as long as rules are in place. Could you be a match for Merry? Please contact Stephanie at 847-417-7304 if you are interested in Merry.

Story
Sami is doing awesome in her foster home, but looking for her forever home! She is crate trained, potty trained, and the best snuggler around. While she love, love, LOVES her family, she doesn't always love visitors and would do best in a low-traffic home that can help her pick and choose her friends. Sami is smart and loves to train for treats, which is also the quickest way to her heart! Dog friends are easier for her to get along with than human friends (same, right?) and she has done well with her foster's three dogs as well as other visiting dogs. If you're a homebody looking for a dog that embodies a weighted blanket, Sami is waiting to meet you! Sami comes with 3 sponsored training sessions with Wise Dogs! To meet Sami, reach out to our Foster Coordinator at foster@orphansofthestorm.org!

Story
"Hi! My name is Blue. I'm a mature lady at 10 years old, but I still have lots of energy for long walks in the park and I love a good tug-of-war with my humans and my favorite toys. I also very much enjoy long naps cuddled next to my humans, especially on rainy days. I walk best with a prong collar as I like to take my time to sniff all the outdoor smells. I've been working with a trainer to be more focused on my foster mom than outside influences like squirrels, bikes and other dogs. I've mastered the squirrels and bikes....still working on the other dogs. I enjoy the run/walks I've been doing with my foster mom to keep my girlish figure. :) I am thriving in my foster home. My foster mom can confirm I am crate trained, housebroken, and take treats nicely! I LOVE pillows and soft blankets. I even have my own pillow in my dog bed. I know sit, stay and paw and I'm a good listened when told other commands. I really am a well- behaved girl. I don't like to be away from my humans so I won't run away or let you go very far but I don't have any separation anxiety. My people can leave the house and I won't chew anything up or scratch things. I just chill when they're away and I'm happy when they return. I would love to have a backyard so I can lay outside in the warm sun, nap and listen to the birds. I am selective with other dogs so I prefer to be the only dog in my forever home. No one is sure what happened in my past, but I do get excited around other dogs. I would like to keep thriving in my forever home with my new humans. My foster mom thinks I'm a "pick me girl so I'm asking you to "CHOOSE ME.....PICK ME....LOVE ME (for fellow Grey's fans). If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application to meet me! Cuddles and kisses Blue (aka Chunky Monkey)"
