Story
Angel is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix born on 10/17/2025, now weighing about 22 pounds and still growing into her big-dog potential. She is incredibly sweet and cuddly, but also has a lovely independent streak and is perfectly content entertaining herself…especially if toys are involved. And sticks. Sticks are a very important part of her lifestyle. She loves to collect them, carry them proudly, and turn it into a gentle game of keep-away. She loves to play and is fantastic with adult dogs. Angel is respectful and socially savvy—happy to initiate play, but just as happy to back off if the other dog isn’t interested. She also has an excellent off switch and can settle easily, making her a wonderfully chill puppy for her age. Angel is not very vocal, sleeps through the night in her crate like a champ, and is already learning her manners. She knows how to sit and is working on “lay down,” showing just how smart and eager she is to learn. If you’re looking for a puppy who can play hard, chill harder, and steal your heart quietly and completely, Angel is ready to meet you Her minimum adoption fee is $350, plus a $15 rabies registration fee (if 4 months or older) for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Dahlia is a 1-year old, 37-pound gal with a heart as big as her personality. Her DNA test revealed a fun blend of American Staffordshire Terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, a splash of Husky, a hint of Cattle Dog, and a dash of several other breeds. The result? A one-of-a-kind pup packed with charm, energy, and love. She’s very much living her best puppy life. Playtime is her favorite event of the day, whether that means zooming around the yard, romping with toys, or soaking up attention from her people. She greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and joyful enthusiasm. This happy, energetic girl will thrive in an active home where she can burn off her puppy energy and continue learning and growing. With consistency, exercise, and lots of love, Dahlia is ready to blossom into an incredible companion and adventure buddy. If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited young dog who’s always up for fun and affection, Dahlia can’t wait to meet you. Her adoption fee is sponsored. There is a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Marrietta — Miss Independent with a Wild Side Marrietta is a 1–2 year old mixed‑breed sweetheart who knows exactly who she is: fun, confident, and always ready for her next adventure. She’s a zoomies-in-the-yard enthusiast, a long‑walk lover, and a certified pup‑cup connoisseur. This smart girl is potty trained, enjoys car rides, and is wonderfully kid friendly. With other dogs, she’s a bit of a lovable rascal — a button‑pusher who thrives with dogs that match her energy or don’t mind her playful, ornery streak. If you’ve got a wild, joyful pup at home, she might be their perfect partner in crime. Marrietta is independent, spirited, and full of personality. She’s been waiting for a family who appreciates a dog with spunk, smarts, and a whole lot of heart. If you’re looking for a fun, adventurous companion with a dash of sass, Marrietta is your girl. (Born Oct 2022)

Story
Christian is a young dog who loves to play and loves to snuggle! He is treat-motivated and has already had some very good training under his belt. He’ll do best with someone who wants a dog to walk with, play with, and cuddle with on the couch at the end of the day. When Christian came to us in late September, he was suffering hip pain due to a deformed femur-head. Veterinarians at the UI Small Animal Clinic determined he was a good candidate for an FHO surgery (Femoral Head Osteotomy). Christian had the surgery and went into foster care for physical therapy and recovery. He is now fully recovered and doing great! Christian was a real joy for the foster parents as well. You can see photos and videos of Christian - and his amazing recovery - in his foster home on the Pups-is-Pups Facebook page: Facebook.com/pupsispups. Come out and meet him; he is a real sweetheart!

These pups are in Normal, Illinois too!

Story
Calvin is a housetrained, fun-loving, and energetic pup who’s ready to find his forever home! He's a sweet, 6-year-old Bull Terrier Mix who weighs 43.3 pounds. He loves his crate (as long as the door’s open!) but prefers snoozing on a comfy dog bed. This goofy boy has a ton of energy and enthusiasm for life—he’s always up for a round of fetch (or three!), toys, car rides, and a nice bone to chew on. Although Calvin walks well on a leash, he can be dog reactive, so he’ll need an owner who can confidently manage his reactivity in public. A securely fenced yard would be a big help for exercise and playtime. Calvin has been around babies and toddlers, but may accidentally knock them over in his excitement, so a home with children over age 5 would be best. With his playful spirit, affectionate personality, and love for cuddles, Calvin will bring endless joy and laughter to his new family. His minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Alf! This 7-month-old Boxer mix is named after the lovable TV alien, and much like his namesake, he’s figuring out life on a brand-new planet one brave step at a time. He currently weighs 33.5 pounds and is still growing into himself. When Alf first arrived at a local animal shelter, the world felt overwhelming. He pancaked to the floor, unsure of what to expect and how to navigate all the new sights, sounds, and smells. Thanks to patient, gentle staff and a whole lot of encouragement, Alf has made huge progress and is truly coming out of his shell. New things can still feel intimidating for him, but Alf is learning that good things happen when he’s brave. Each day brings a little more confidence, a little more curiosity, and glimpses of the sweet, goofy Boxer mix he’s becoming. Alf is looking for a home that understands confidence grows at its own pace and is ready to cheer him on as he continues his glow-up into a happy, secure companion. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
