Story

Please contact Echo Dogs (adoptions@echodogs.org) for more information about this pet.Female - 8 months - 43 lbs. - Microchipped - Spayed - ILBIO Hello! My name is Cindy. My mom and 8 siblings were rescued from a kill shelter in December 2025. Mom had a DNA test done, and it showed that she was mostly Cattle Dog, Great Pyrenees, Shepherd and other mixes. Although we are mixed, and so cute, we were lucky to be saved. I am house trained and crate trained. I am a very good guest greeter. I do not run out the door when it is opened. I don’t jump or bark at people when they come over. My tail wags a mile a minute. Foster mom calls me Wiggle Butt.I do enjoy being around the other dogs in my foster home. I could be an only dog if you are home more often than not. I have not met any cats, so I do not know how I feel about them. I walk very good on a leash. I like going for car rides so I could definitely be a travel companion. I know a few commands and usually respond the first time they are given. I know inside, outside, sit, leave it, wait, easy, off, quiet and come. I am sure you can teach me a lot more.If you are looking for a nice, friendly dog and don’t care about the breed, I would make a great addition to your family. I really would love to have my own family. My fur is soft, white and I have brown spotted ears. I am absolutely adorable and smart too!

Story

Katie is a beautiful 3-year-old red and white Cattle Dog who is spayed and ready to find a loving home. Katie has been through an incredibly difficult experience. She was found alone in her home after her owner had passed away, and it's easy to imagine how frightened and confused she must have been. Despite her heartbreaking past, Katie is a sweet soul with so much love to give. She can be cautious when meeting new people, but with patience and time, she warms up and forms strong bonds. We also learned that she was wonderful with the neighborhood children while living with her previous owner. Katie is an active girl who loves to run, so she will need a securely fenced yard or to always be walked on a leash, as she is known to take off if given the opportunity. She is also house-trained, making the transition into her new home a little easier. Katie is looking for a patient, understanding family who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and loved again. In return, she'll reward you with loyalty, companionship, and a heart full of devotion. Please contact Jan at 847-790-6458 for more information about Katie.

Story

Male - 5 years - 40 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - NYHi, I’m Ricardo. I’m a 5-year-old, 40 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I use my crate as a safe space mostly; I do not need to be shut in my crate when I am left home alone. I have coexisted well with adults, with a preference for women, though I am very shy and don’t seek much interaction. I will accept calm affection from my foster mom. Most of the time I am happy to people watch from afar. I will need someone willing to be patient as I come around to them and my surroundings in my new home; I had had no or minimal human contact prior to coming to Echo Dogs so this human world is all new to me and I have been trying hard to learn! I love having the company of other dogs and will require at least one confident canine companion to help guide me. I am wonderful about adjusting my play style to match that of the dog I am playing with and all around have good canine social skills. I am also gentle around cats and wouldn’t mind having feline siblings. I have been learning about these things called toys and they’re pretty fun! I especially like the plushy toys and benebones. I have been working hard on leash skills and can now join on quiet outings! I may get nervous at times and need gentle encouragement. I am still pretty uncomfortable with car rides so that is also a work in progress. I have learned to reliably come to my foster mom when she calls me. I currently take clomicalm to help me manage my anxiety. I am a gentle-natured boy who is ready to find a patient human ready to help me continue navigating this human world—could you be my human(s)?

He is asleep most of the day and can be left alone while his owners are at work. He regularly attends a local dog daycare and loves playing with other dogs. Gus is very affectionate and will gently greet you in the morning when you decide to get up. If you tend to sleep in like I do then he will gladly sleep in alongside you. He's very flexible in that regard and will lay back down to sleep if you need more rest. He is trained to sleep in his dog bed and will not get in bed with you unless you want him to. Gus can be very goofy and makes us laugh every single day with his expressive personality. Everybody falls in love with Gus when they first meet him! Gus responds really well to training! He is housetrained and knows all the essential commands. Unfortunately he does not get along with our cats and needs to find a loving new home. We are sad to see him go!

Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Anderson Humane is not responsible for any unsuccessful adoptions. Meet Reggie! He's a fun, energetic shepherd mix, about 5 years old, who loves life at full speed. Like many shepherds, he's smart, loyal, and happiest when he has a job to do. He loves meeting new people and greets everyone with lots of enthusiasm (and a few jumps, so he'd benefit from some work on polite greetings). He's a watchful companion who keeps an eye on his family, and when the day is done, he's a total cuddle bug who loves snuggling on the couch or in bed with you. He's great in the car and ready for any adventure. Fair warning: he's a power chewer who makes quick work of dog toys, so stock up on the tough ones! Reggie's ideal match is an active, experienced owner who will keep him busy with long walks, runs, hikes, or training games. A shepherd's brain needs exercise as much as his legs do. He's an escape artist with a strong prey drive. Squirrels, cats, and other animals get him very excited, and he will dig under or squeeze through a fence to chase them. He needs a secure, dig-proof yard and should never be left outside unsupervised. A home without cats or small pets, with adults or older kids, would suit him best. With the right person and enough to do, Reggie will be a devoted, fun-loving companion who will happily share your couch at the end of the day!

Story

Libby is sure a unique-looking young girl; how can anyone not love her huge ears!! She is thought to be an Australian Kelpie Mix (possibly with Bull Terrier). She weighs about 30 lbs. Her estimated date of birth is June 5th 2023. Libby is a typical puppy, very energetic and playful. She likes to jump and can sometimes forget herself and be a little too rough with other dogs. But….…she is young and needs to learn boundaries and manners in order to evolve into a wonder family member with a forever family she so deserves.. This sweet pup likes playing with other dogs; she’s great with dogs and would enjoy the companionship of another dog in the home. Most likely, a young or middle-aged adult dog would prefer his company much more so than a senior dog. An ideal family for Libby is one able to assimilate the enthusiasm and playfulness of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Libby to be her best self! A secure fenced yard is required; another younger or middle-aged pup in the family could also be advantageous. Libby is crate-trained and is working hard to improve her house manners (housebreaking). She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Her spay is included in her adoption fee. For information about adding this adorable girl to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.
