Story
AVAILABLE NOW- I am in Lake County, Illinois awaiting my forever family. My name is Russ and I am a 1 year old Staffie mix. I am a super sweet and social little boy. I love doggie daycare and my foster family is awesome. I weigh about 40 lbs, so on the smaller side. I am a big baby, I mean puppy! I love to play hard and then nap hard. I love all dogs and get along great with my 2 foster sisters. I also love all people of all sizes! I am very friendly, so sweet and love to cuddle. I know basic training and I have been walking well on a leash with my foster mom and dad. I am housebroken and I am a good listener. My foster parents say I am smart and a fast learner! I will come with the works (Neutered, spayed, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested if age appropriate, heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? For more information on me and an adoption application please contact my rescue at adoptions@wagginghearts.org. Looking forward to meeting you!! Russel

Story
This funky little man is Leo. He is a happy, goofy boy who loves attention. Leo looks like a pit but short and long, which makes him even more lovable! He rolls around for pets and hugs and prefers to be a velcro dog 90% of the time. He is people-friendly and dog friendly. He would need to be tested with cats. Leo is right at 50lbs and is around 4 years old. He's hoping for someone who is active and is willing to work on leash manners and jumping.

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
So I got Kobe from a dog trainer friend in the middle of the pandemic (February 2021) he might’ve been around 8-10 weeks old at the time. Since then he’s grown into a huge 80 pound baby dog who loves cuddles, kisses, playing fetch, and back leg scratches. Somewhat of a comedian too. I’ve taken him to the vet and they said he has a heart murmur that needs to be monitored regularly. He is not neutered, and he has a fear aggression towards other human adults. I’m looking to rehome him because I just moved from my family home into a small apartment by myself and it’s been really difficult for me to maintain his everyday care and needs. He might be better fit for an experienced big dog owner who has a family with a fenced in yard. He still needs training for the fear aggression but that’s pretty much it. He’s house trained, potty trained, knows commands like sit, stay, cage (crate), meal call etc…, Great with baths, walks, and small children.

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 8 mos
Plainfield, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nike Sinclair has front leg deformity in both limbs and requires a foster home in order for the rescue to start medical care. He needs to be seen by an Orthopedic Specialist to determine a diagnosis and prognosis on his limbs. Whether he has surgery or not, he will need to attend therapy and the foster will be taught how to do the therapeutic exercises at home for him. From what the shelter in Louisiana says, he is mobile, very friendly with dogs and people. He has not been neutered, but has been given his first round of vaccines. You must be "in it to win it" by fostering this dog. If you can foster please complete an application at www.k9ei.dog or email info@k9ei.dog to discuss.

Story
Billy, Billy, Billy! The favorite amongst police officers. Our baby boy is the most handsome guy with piercing greyish eyes and a personality as big as the moon! Billy was a stray that was never claimed and sat for months in the police station. We were luckily able to find a great foster home for him and he has now completed 8 sessions of training with our hand-picked trainer for manners and leash walking. He will need continued work on greeting people and leash walking - FYI. He knows sit, kennel, paw, stay, and down and is house-trained, crate-trained and is working on a release command. Billy is a foodie and his favorite things to eat are....STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES! This dude loves people and he especially loves his human foster sister who is 8 yrs old. He is good with kids and loves to be in the center of their shenanigans. He isn't fond of other animals so he must be in a home with no other dogs or cats. Children should be sturdy or 5 and up. He is known to steal kids toys as his own, but my mom always said that if its on the floor, its fair game! The human neighbors like to play with Billy over the fence. He brings his ball to the fence where the neighbor will pick up and throw the ball for hours with him. Billy likes to Netflix and nap, get belly rubs, play fetch, and eat chicken jerky! Billy also has some funny quirks - he makes alien sounds, likes to flip his water bowl or food bowl to let you know he's empty, he will let you know he has to potty when he won't get out of your personal space. Billy is learning to be less mouthy - so an assortment of chew toys, non-rawhide bones and licky mats are a must.

Location: Dunning Neighborhood (Northwest Chicago) *Must be within 2 hours of Chicago

Story
This beautiful girl is Pippa! She was rescued after she was picked up as a stray by the police, and sadly her owners never came looking for her. Pippa is the sweetest girl who everyone she meets. She loves kids, but has a tendency to jump because she gets so excited to see them, so really small kids may get knocked down. Pippa also likes to play with other dogs. She is currently in foster care with another dog who is her best bud, so she’d really like to go to a forever home with another playful dog friend! Pippa is also crate trained and housebroken. She loves running around and playing with her toys. After she’s spent some time playing her favorite thing to do is settle in for some belly rubs and treats, and then curling up next to you to get some loving. If you are interested in giving this great girl a wonderful forever home please reach out to yurko.mar0903@gmail.com for a pre-adoption application.
