Story
Attention all families seeking THE PERFECT FAMILY PET!! Cleveland is simply amazing. I know a lot of rescues say their pets are amazing . But he truly is and it's the simplest way to describe him. He's playful, would love to have a canine buddy or a human sibling to pair up with. He's confident but not alpha in any way. He plays with puppies that are a fraction of his size. He's kennel trained. House trained . Rarely ever barks. And let's talk about walking on a leash😳just watch his video. He eats his breakfast and his dinner with another male buddy about his size and both of them share so nicely. He takes treats with the gentlest of nature . Cleveland is in a foster home in Memphis, Tn with a 3,7 and 11 year old human friends , 3 male dogs and 1 female and he is simply perfect ! Once an application has been submitted and approved I will gladly discuss, facetime, send photos and videos , etc of Cleveland and answer any and all questions about him. We use a transport company called rescue vet transport to get our pets from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east. They travel each weekend, leaving Memphis Friday morning around 6 AM and making stops along the route all the way as far north as West Greenwich Rhode Island. Once they leave Memphis they start a group chat with all adopters and the two drivers. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make Cleveland a part of your family, please follow the link below to our adoption application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Birdie is about 1.5 yrs. My neighbor found her in the street & found her owner a block over. They didnt want her, they were moving to a place that didnt allow dogs. I agreed to take her in with a loving & seemingly guilty heart, not exactly knowing what would happen. I wasnt ready to add a companion back into my home after losing my 10yr old ESA in April. Ive had Birdie for a while & learned a lot about her. Shes sweet as can be. She loves people, all toys/playing & the best under the blanket cuddle bug. Shes smart & food motivated. Good with most dogs, prefers male playmates & really wants to play with new cat friends, but doesnt go running after them. Shes met many kids & is mostly excited when meeting them. Shes anxious if you dont crate her while youre away & generally is well behaved especially after she gets a good play in. She would thrive where she isnt crated all day & gets a lot of play or daycare is an option. Willing to negotiate adoption fee w/ proof of spay.

Story
Ellie is a three-year-old, 65-pound, female mostly white pit bull terrier-mix with adorable tan markings looking for a loving guardian. Ellie takes treats gently from your fingers. She knows the commands sit and paw; and although she’s strong, walks well on a leash and loves her walks. She would be happy as the only dog in the home, but she seems okay with other dogs. Her true love is people of all ages, and she’d love a family to dote on her. She hasn’t been treated well in the past and is a little hand-shy. Found stray in Chicago, Ellie is crate-trained and appears to be housebroken. To meet and possibly adopt Ellie, please contact Melia at melia88@comcast.net for an adoption application. Her adoption fee of $200 benefits rescued dogs. She is healthy, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, and on monthly preventative. She’s being fostered in Chicago.

Story
Lola is a 70-pound, 18-month-old, sleek and glossy, chocolate terrier-mix looking for a loving guardian. She loves walks and is super cuddly and loving with her humans. Found as an emaciated stray on Thanksgiving day in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, she landed in the home of an animal lover who has been giving her the TLC and training she needed. She had no tags, collar, or microchip, and her humans never came to claim her. She now knows the command sit and loves to fetch, although she's not big on returning the ball. Lola is perfectly housebroken and loves to sleep in bed with her foster parents or on the couch. She’s looking for someone to take her into their home and heart. She is smart, athletic and loving and would do great in a training class to help her bond with her new family. Lola is now extremely healthy, spayed, and vaccinated for rabies and distemper. Fecal and heartworm-tested, and on monthly heartworm preventative. Her adoption fee of $200 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. To meet and possibly adopt Lola, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up to meet her by e-mailing friendsofpetraits@gmail.com She’s currently being fostered in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.

Hey, There-my name is Watson but my nickname should be Mr. Playful. I LOVE everyone I meet. Person-dog-cat- whatever…I’m going to follow you around and ask for all the pets! My favorite activities include chasing a ball around the backyard and going for walks with my foster dad. I’m one of the friendliest dogs in the rescue so I always get invited to all their fun events. I’m not only a master on a leash but also do great on car rides & in my kennel. I may be playful but I know how to read a room and when to chill. We asked my foster dad for a list of things about me- he did a pretty good job! He loves to share your pillow at night (or try to take it all) He chases his tail like a tornado. Gives you little love sniffs to the face. Rolls over on top of you for belly rubs. Like to lay against your legs while napping. Peeks his head in the shower and wants to lick your wet legs. Follows you everywhere. At ALL TIMES. He gives good hugs. I can’t think of one reason that would make you not fill an application out for me unless you hate fun.

Story
LOKI !!!. Wow HOW could you get any cuter? This guy has the biggest personality to be so small. He is just adored in the foster home he is currently in right now. You would get the biggest kick out of his (not bark or yelp) but more like a mouse squeak as he tries to communicate how much he needs and wants your attention. He has no issue with his fosters adult dogs and tries to imitate and learn from them. He really wants to be a big dog, big enough to hop up in the car and take car rides with foster mom. Loki seems to be a quick learner and very reactive to correction. This guy is everything puppy. He loves to eat, sleep and play and then rewind and do it all over again. You won’t go wrong with this adorable fella. He is going to be a wonderful forever friend. Once adopted he will travel via RescueVet private transport (transport cost is $185.00) to a location closest to you. If you would like to make sweet Loki part of your family and home please follow the link below to our application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

These girls are everything puppy. They love to eat, sleep and play and then rewind and do it all over again. You won’t go wrong with either of these beauties.
