Story
Meet Gabe, aka Gabey Babey, Gabriel Babriel, Mr. Gabriel...you get the idea! Gabe is one of the most fun, sweet, silly, and kind hearted dogs ever to grace our presence! He is a big boy who is filled to the brim with love, and a big head full of nothing but sweetness and dreams! Gabe is a total ham who approaches life full force--he plays hard, loves hard, sleeps hard! Despite his size, he has shown that he can be really gentle with older kids. He is currently in our Superstar Pup Academy learning some basic skills that will help him succeed when his forever home finally comes for him! Weight: 70 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Housebroken: Yes! Crate-trained: Unknown Leash behavior: Working on it! They are still learning what the leash is all about and may have some behaviors that will require continued positive reinforcement training. Dog sociability: Possibly! He's had fun with other dogs with similar energy! Cat sociability: They do not do well with cats! They will chase, bite, attack, or otherwise harm or frighten cats. Kid sociability: Good with older kids! They are a little too much for small kids or have a history of behaviors that are difficult to manage around smaller children, but they are fine with kids ages 13-18. He may be good with younger children, but due to his size, he likely would be best with older children. Likes: Everything and everyone, the concept of love and affection, stuffies, playing tug, saying "awooo!" Dislikes: Party poopers! If you’d like to meet Gabe, please fill out an adoption application at animalcareleague.org/adoptions and send us an email at adoption@animalcareleague.org!

Sesame

American Staffordshire Terrier Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 6 mos
Elmhurst, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sesame is a 6-month-old pit mix with a brindle-and-white coat, the biggest chocolate-brown puppy eyes, and a heart that’s ready for a fresh start. Sesame came to CACC as a stray, and it was clear that his early days had not been easy. After spending some time in a loving foster home, though, Sesame has put his difficult past behind him. Now, this brave little guy is learning what it means to be safe, loved, and cared for. Sesame is goofy, brave, and lovable…and he has plenty of puppy energy to match! He has lots of high-energy moments when he’s ready to play and explore, but when it’s time to wind down, he’s perfectly happy curling up on the couch for some serious snuggle time. This sweet boy can coexist peacefully with other dogs and enjoys interacting with his canine friends, but when it comes to playtime and cuddles, Sesame would much rather be hanging out with his favorite humans. He hasn’t been around children yet, and because he’s still working on some typical puppy behaviors, an adoptive home with older kids would likely be the best fit. And here’s a bonus: Sesame is crate trained and an absolute angel in his crate! Sesame didn’t get the loving start to life that every puppy deserves. Now he’s ready for the part where he gets to be surrounded by people who adore him, guide him, and show him just how wonderful life can be. If you’re looking for a goofy, brave, cuddly puppy with the sweetest eyes and so much love to give, Sesame is waiting to meet you. Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tamatoa, also known as "Tuesday" is a 2 to 3 year old brindle pit mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. Originally adopted as a puppy, Tuesday found his way back to us when his previous owner faced health challenges. His original name with the rescue was Tamatoa, but when he was adopted his name was changed to Tuesday. As he is used to that name, we decided to keep his new name, Tuesday! In his current foster home, he has blossomed into a loyal, playful, and eager to learn companion. This medium energy boy loves to balance fun with relaxation. After some enrichment, playtime, or a good sniffing adventure, Tuesday is perfectly content to curl up on the couch for a nap. He already knows an impressive list of commands including sit, paw, lay down, leave it, place, look at me, and go sniff. He is also crate trained. His love for training makes him a joy to work with, and he is always excited to show off his progress. Tuesday has lived with dogs in the past but at this time it is best for him to be an only dog and with his high prey drive, a cat free home is also suggested. He is working on curbing his jumping when he gets excited, but his eagerness to please makes him a fast learner. He absolutely adores people, including children. Some of his favorite enrichment choices are happily chewing on a bone, tearing into a toy, or helping with whatever you are up to. He loves being included in daily life. He is making big strides with his anxiety, showing how resilient and determined he is to be the best dog he can be. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy, playfulness, and lots of love into your home, Tuesday might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Whisper, a beautiful six year old pit mix with a stunning black and white spotted coat that perfectly matches her equally wonderful personality. This sweet girl was found as a stray and has a few battle scars from her past, but she has never let that dim her loving spirit. Whisper is sweet as pie and truly loves everyone she meets. Whisper is curious about the world around her and enjoys taking it all in. She has done well when seeing other dogs on walks and recently attended a street festival where she was calm and appropriate around children. She was definitely interested in meeting everyone, so slow introductions to new dogs are recommended as she continues to build confidence and friendships. While she gets the occasional burst of playful energy, Whisper is mostly a laid back, easygoing companion. She is happiest lounging beside her people and would gladly accept a full time position as your couch buddy. In fact, one of her favorite things is curling up as close to you as possible for a nap. Whisper already knows how to sit and is currently working on crate training. She is loyal, playful, affectionate, and wonderfully mellow. Whether you're relaxing at home, heading out for a walk, or simply looking for a best friend to keep you company, Whisper is ready to be by your side. She is a truly special dog with so much love to give, and anyone lucky enough to welcome her home will quickly discover what a sweetheart she really is. Whisper is the kind of companion who makes every day a little brighter. Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?
