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.

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.

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.

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. If you are interested in learning more about Billy the Kid, please reach out to elena_star87@yahoo.com or at fahpr@att.net! 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.

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).

Story
Evelyn is a staffordshire mix. She's great supervised with other dogs of all sizes, on playdates and in public. She has had some bad experiences with other dogs and her resources so she should not be unsupervised with other dogs. She should not have toys/bones/food around other dogs. She is not dog aggressive but does resource guard. She can be extremely chill and lazy but also playful! Evelyn loves all people and kids. She would be good with an active lifestyle who's owners take her in the public/on vacation or just as happy in the home and going for walks. She can be with a family or senior owner. She will know basic obedience, loose leash heeling, off leash recall and good manners inside the home and in the public. She is kennel and potty trained.  Being treated for heartworm. Will be available for foster/adoption approximately July 15th, 2024. Evelyn has gone through a basic training program! In this program she has learned proper heeling on a leash, basic obedience, place command, off leash recall, no bolting out of doors, people and dog socialization, kennel/potty training and more! After adoption process is finalized, the new owners will work with the trainer 1-on-1 for 2 hours to learn what Evelyn has learned in the program and how to keep up with training after going home. This will all be included in your adoption fee! ##1862073##

Chucho

Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Plainfield, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Chucho, a 2-year-old pocket pittie (plus mystery breed?) with an extra-curly tail, a mastery of lounging on the sofa, and a shameless quest for snacks and snuggles. He's eager to please and once he feels safe and familiar with someone he'll be your dedicated sidekick. He loves rewards (of the food or praise variety), making it a breeze to teach him commands and your expectations. He likes to be mentally engaged as much as he likes to be physically engaged, but also enjoys hanging out in the sun, in front of the tv, or looking out a window. He thrives with a slightly older, well-balanced dog sibling in his house, respects cats, and excels at the role of little brother. He plays well with dog friends of all sizes and ages at daycare. Chucho is a quick learner but he's also a determined student. This helps him build strong bonds with the people in his life. He gets a little nervous in loud environments or unfamiliar settings but finds comfort in his human and animal friends. He has some leash/barrier reactivity, but his foster family has noticed huge improvements in his self-control and emotional regulation through patient guidance and consistency. He's a very empathetic dog with a huge heart and he picks up on the vibes of the people and animals in his home. Positive reinforcement and structure are the name of the game for Chucho! His perfect forever home would be one with at least one active human who likes to spend quality time working/playing with Chucho, and ideally another dog sibling for company and partner-in-crime-time. Socializing is important for Chucho, so a forever home that's willing to put him in daycare once or twice a week or have regular playtime with trusted, familiar dogs will make him a super happy boy. He's also VERY good-looking, so his future family must be comfortable getting constant compliments about how handsome he is and be prepared to spend hours adoring his adorable, jowly face.

Meet Muffin! She is a deliciously sweet boxer mix girl who is looking for her FURever home. Muffin is around a year old and about 40 lbs.

She has never had any accidents in the house. She is great on walks. She listens and learned how to sit almost immediately. She is very playful and aims to please.
