Story
Simba is a two-year-old Cattle Dog with a joyful spirit and a heart full of love, now ready to find his forever home. He was recently surrendered to our facility when his owner was no longer able to care for him. From the moment Simba arrived, he made quite the impression—greeting everyone with enthusiastic tail wags, wiggly excitement, and plenty of big kisses. He is a social, affectionate dog who truly loves being around people and thrives on attention and praise. Simba does well with other dogs and has previously lived with young children, where he did great. His friendly and easygoing nature makes him a wonderful candidate for a family environment. He’s also a big people pleaser, always eager to learn and make his humans happy. With his intelligence and willingness to please, Simba has all the qualities to excel in training and would enjoy activities that keep both his mind and body engaged. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and fun companion to join your family, Simba could be the perfect match. His adoption fee is $200, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed! Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL

Story
Meet Scout, an adorable 20lb Terrier/Chi/Cattle Dog type mix who came from local animal control as an unclaimed stray. He is a sweet boy who loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows sit and paw and will happily offer those commands whenever you would like, sometimes even when you are not asking for them. Scout has lots of energy and is working on leash manners. Because of his dog reactivity, he will need some work on walks. A fenced yard would be great for him. He does love to run around and sniff in the grass. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. He is looking for a home with no children or other pets.

Story
We stepped up to the plate… and these two knocked it out of the park. Meet Domino & Scrabble — Lab/Heeler mix brothers bringing equal parts chaos, charm, and championship potential. Born on March 10th (MAR10 Day), we seriously considered naming them Mario & Luigi… but once we met them, Domino (black & white) and Scrabble (white & orange) just fit. These boys came from an accidental litter — and their story took a turn when another mama dog on the property rejected her own litter and became aggressive toward them. So we stepped up to the plate, swung for the fences, and now we’re looking for their home run placement. Genetically, they’re a mix of Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler). Personality-wise, we’re seeing a lot of that happy, playful, eager-to-please Lab energy. Looks-wise, the Heeler is definitely showing through While they aren’t showing herding behaviors yet, Heelers are known for those instincts — including trying to “herd” kids (and yes… even adults). Because of that, we’re looking for a home that understands working breeds and is ready to provide structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. Ideal Home: A yard to run in or an active lifestyle with frequent walks, playtime, and engagement Current Stats: Smart? Already working on “sit” ✔️ Playful? Absolutely A little wild sometimes? Also yes… but in the best puppy way Neuter dates are set, and these boys will be ready to join their forever team very soon. Applications are open now and holds can be placed by approved applicants. If you’re ready for a high-energy, high-reward teammate… this might be your draft class. Breed & size are best guesses based on current traits and observations. With mixes like this, expect intelligent, active dogs that thrive with the right guidance and environment. 🐾

Story
I’m Pinky. Easy Days, Sunny Spots, and Just Enough Play.I'm currently in Georgia. My bags are packed, I’m ready to travel to my new home. Where are you? Are you my new family? I’ll travel to you! I’m a cattle dog and Lab mix, around 55 pounds, spayed, and up to date on all my shots. I’ve reached that good part of life where I know who I am and what I like. I like walks. Not rushed, not chaotic. Just a good pace, fresh air, and something to look at along the way. I like the sun too. Give me a warm spot and I’ll stretch out like I’ve been doing it forever. I’m a laid-back girl, but don’t mistake that for boring. I still get my moments. I’ll run around the yard, play a bit, enjoy myself, then settle right back down like nothing happened. I like other dogs as long as they’re respectful. No pushy behavior, no nonsense. If they’re calm and know how to share space, we’ll get along just fine. Cats don’t really interest me. I’ve seen them, I let them be. I’ve done well with crate training. I understand routine. I don’t need constant direction. I know how to live in a home and be part of it without taking it over. What I want now is simple. A place where I can relax, enjoy my days, and still have a little fun along the way. A person who appreciates a dog who doesn’t need to prove anything. I’ve already done that part. ##2662519##

Story
I’m Stone. Built for Action. Wired for Connection.I'm currently in Georgia. My bags are packed, I’m ready to travel to my new home. Where are you? Are you my new family? I’ll travel to you! I don’t sit around wondering what to do. I look for it. I’m a medium-sized girl with a white and brown coat, fully vetted and spayed, and I’ve got a brain that never really turns off. Think problem solver. Think climber. Think “how did she get up there” kind of dog. I like to jump. I like to explore. I like to figure things out just because they’re there. If there’s a yard, I’m mapping it. If there’s a game, I’m learning it. If there’s a job, I want it. I’m smart. Really smart. The kind of smart that needs direction, not boredom. I do take a second with new people. I’ll look, think, decide. Then I come in. Once I know you’re good, I’m affectionate, engaged, and right there with you. Belly rubs are a yes. Hugs are a yes. Being part of your world is a yes. We’re still working on leash confidence, but I’m getting better. I listen. I try. I want to understand what you’re asking. I met a cat once. I was curious, sure, but I came back when called. That’s who I am. I notice things, but I stay connected. I’m not a sit-on-the-couch-all-day dog. I’m a let’s-go-do-something dog. Walks. Training. Agility. A job. A purpose. Give me that, and I will give you everything I’ve got. If you’ve been looking for a dog who thinks, moves, and lives with intention, I’m already here. ##2662537##

Kokoro - The Big-Hearted Playmate Who Loves Life Hi, I’m Kokoro, a six-month-old pup whose name means “heart.” That fits me perfectly because I have a big one. I’m playful, friendly, and curious.
