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!

Story
Name: SPROUT Gender: Male Age: 6 months (on Sept 1) Housetrained: Yes Neutered: Neuter scheduled at 1 year old Crate Trained: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Dog Social: Yes Cats: unknown, might be okay with a cat that stays out of his reach Special Needs: Yes, will need wheelchair or braces/prosthetics as an adult Sprout was born with Angular deformity in his front two limbs. In basic terms his elbows are dislocated at the joint. The bones didn't develop corrected leaving the two bones unable to connect. There is a surgery that may work, but confidence is low for success. Alternatively, Sprout will have at home therapy & massage with his family (15-20 min of stretching exercises daily) and then spend 3 to 4 days a month at the Wild Hearts / Pet Care working with professional mobility specialists. Sprout will be cast for braces and is a candidate for a front wheeled chair to increase his mobility. The custom chair will not be manufactured until he reaches his adult size. He will not be neutered until 1 year to allow his body to grow and close growth plates to their fullest extent. Sprout takes daily joint tablets, Omego Oil for joints, Myos Muscle Milk powder to aid in his growth and health. With his family and health team dedicated to him, sprout will live a fulfilling life free of pain. Therapy is key, when surgery is not an option. Serious inquiries only please. Sprout is a living being who will be dependent on his humans more so than other dogs, what he is not is a novelty. APPLY AT WWW.K9EI.DOG Sprout is located in the Chicagoland area, his treatment facility is in downtown Chicago.

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
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
