Story
Clear the Shelters participant - 50% reduced adoption fee! Julien is an absolute dreamboat! Not only is he a slam-dunk in the looks department, he's mastered the "puppy eyes" and just sucks you in with one look. Julien is sweet as can be, just melting in your hands and showering you with kisses. This kid is a master snuggler, and his tail never stops wagging. Although Julien does totally fine with other dogs when a barrier such as a fence or kennel door is involved, he would prefer not to share your attention and be the only dog in his forever home. Julien came to us with many scars on his face and legs, so we're assuming he may have been attacked in the past and understandably feels a bit nervous around other dogs. Julien has spent some time in our staff offices, as he's a favorite around the shelter. He loves to help with office duties and make sure everyone stays on task. After a few minutes of exploring, Julien settles in and lays on his bed all stretched relaxing. Julien is one fantastic pup, that's for sure! All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

Story
Hopper is the happiest boy ever and really lives up to his name. He is an exuberant boy and loves to play, but also LOVES a good snuggle session. He came to us from a crowded shelter in Ohio, and is extremely underweight, which will quickly resolve with all the love and treats our shelter dogs receive. Hopper is quickly picking up basic commands and is working on his manners, and has been enjoying walks with our volunteers. He recently visited an elementary school, and did fantastic with all the children wanting to say hi. Hopper is looking for an active family who enjoys a good laugh from his silly personality, as well as some hard core snuggling on the couch. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

Story
If you're looking for a dog to play all day and be your best friend, look no further! Fiyero first came to us when our staff found him outside tied to the fence, presumably left there by his previous owner. Those circumstances didn't stop him from quickly stealing our hearts with his joyful spirit! Fiyero loves nothing more than a game of tug, and he has energy for days. A sweet and eager boy, Fiyero will stop at nothing to make you smile. Not only is he an incredibly handsome boy, he's very smart too! When it's time to go for a walk, he will bring the leash over and make it known that he wants some outside time. His ideal forever home would have lots of time to play with him and continue working on his training, as well as lots of toys to entertain his adorably wild mind. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Rory came to us from MADACC, where she was found a broken shell of a dog. Extremely emaciated, sores on her body, overgrown nails, and extremely fearful Rory obviously had some painful past experiences. But after a week or so of earning her trust, she has become the most happy, loving girl. Rory can be a bit selective with other dogs, particularly high energy pups who are very in her face. So any existing dogs in the home would require a dog test to ensure it's a good match. She loves to go on adventures, and has become a confident pup who deeply loves her people. Rory is the most gentle and loving with kiddos, and is sure to make a family very happy! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
***** Jamie is looking for a special home so he is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and his adoption fee has been reduced to $100. *****I am an adventurous soul that has yet to learn all the tricks. I already know basic commands such as sit and down, but sometimes I forget my manners and want to jump up and say 'Hello'. I would really benefit from someone who has experience with positive reinforcement training to help me become the best dog I can be. I'm very eager to learn, so training will be so much fun for us! I have alot of energy and am interested in playing with other dogs but will need slow introductions and supervised play with new dog friends. I am a little bit too interested in cats so I should go to a home without them and until I learn some more polite behaviors I might be too much for small kids. Are you looking for an active, energetic dog to join you on adventures? I might be just the match for you so come on down and meet me. Medical History: I appear to be a healthy young adult, but it's always a good idea to set up an appointment with my new vet soon, so that we can meet and make plans to keep me happy and healthy!Weight: 61 poundsAdoption Fee: $100If you'd like to meet me, click the "Learn About the Adoption Process" button below to plan a visit to the shelter!

2 years old Female (will be spayed prior to adoption) 51 lbs. Sweet and loves attention Has done well with cats and other dogs No known experience with kids Knows "sit," "shake," "lay down" Appears housetrained I’m a super sweet, gentle girl who loves playing and being with my pals. I get along great with other dogs and have even done well with cats! I appear to be potty trained, and I know how to sit, shake, and lay down. I’m also great on a leash and super obedient on walks—I even know to sit when cars are coming! I have a fun, goofy side that will keep you laughing, especially when I do my full-body wiggle when I’m excited to see you. I love head kisses and will be the most loyal, loving companion. I can’t wait to make you smile every day! I have been waiting a while to find my home so my adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take me home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.October 11, 2024, 6:22 pm

Story
Introducing Tutti, the lovable Boxer mix with a heart full of affection and a zest for life! Hi, I'm Tutti, a spirited and affectionate Boxer mix ready to bring joy to your life! With my charming personality and playful nature, I'm the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal and loving pet. I absolutely adore my humans and thrive on cuddles and quality time together. Whether we're snuggled up on the couch or enjoying a leisurely walk in the park, I'll be right by your side, wagging my tail with excitement. I find great pleasure in the company of my loved ones and will shower you with endless affection and loyalty. One of my favorite pastimes is chasing balls and toys. Throw one my way, and I'll happily engage in an enthusiastic game of fetch. I'm always up for outdoor adventures, so count me in for long walks, hikes, or exploring new places. The fresh air and open spaces truly bring out the best in me! Having a four-legged friend unfortunately isn't going to be in the cards for me. I'll do best in a home where I am the only pet. I take pride in my impeccable house manners. I am housebroken and have mastered the art of kennel training, though I must admit that I have a soft spot for the couch or your cozy bed. After a day full of activities, nothing makes me happier than curling up beside you for a well-deserved snuggle session. If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal companion, look no further than me, Tutti! Together, we'll create cherished memories and embark on countless adventures. I'm ready to become an integral part of your loving home and bring an abundance of joy and companionship into your life. So, what are you waiting for? Let's start our incredible journey together! **Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Wisconsin applications are priority, but Illinois applications will be considered if no small children are present in the home, the home is owned, and excellent vet reference can be provided. We cannot process applications from other states. Adoption fee is $350 unless otherwise noted above. Puppies under 1 year of age accept application for families with children over 6 years of age for large breeds and over 8 years of age for small breeds. Since they are still puppies, dogs under 1 will require a basic obedience and puppy training class, and spay/neuter at the owners expense.

Story
Annie is a sweet girl who came to us from an overcrowded, rural shelter in Missouri with her 8 babies. She arrived to the shelter pregnant, and has done a wonderful job raising her pups. Now Annie is ready to find a home of her own! We believe she is a boxer mix, and she's a petite little lady with a hilarious underbite. Annie can be a bit shy at first, but with some patience and good treats she will quickly become your best friend. She's very sweet, and loves to snuggle. Annie was dog-tested at the previous shelter with dogs of a variety of sizes and did wonderfully. If you're looking for a kind, loyal pup Annie is the one for you! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm test, receive flea/tick and heartworm prevention while in our care, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.
