Story

Meet Pickles, a three month old Blue Heeler puppy with a big personality packed into a little body! This handsome boy was brought to us by a kind citizen who found him locally. Unfortunately, no one came forward to reclaim him, so now Pickles is ready to find a forever family of his very own. Pickles is everything you’d expect from a young Heeler — smart, playful, and always ready for action. He loves romping around with other dogs and has a blast with toys of all kinds. Treats are definitely the way to his heart, which will make training both fun and rewarding. That said, puppies are a lot of work. Pickles will need consistent training, proper socialization, structure, and plenty of patience as he learns and grows. Blue Heelers are an intelligent, high-energy working breed that require significant mental and physical stimulation. As he matures, he will thrive in a home that can keep his mind busy and his body active. If you’re ready to commit to the time, exercise, and enrichment this breed needs, Pickles could grow into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. Come meet this spunky little guy and see if he’s the perfect addition to your family! His adoption fee is $280, which includes his age appropriate vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current flea prevention, registered microchip, and neuter. He is already fixed! Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL

Cosmo: The Freckle-Pawed, Big-Smile Pup Ready for Forever! Hi. I’m Cosmo. Black-and-white cutie. Giant grin. Radar ears. Polka-dot paws. I get a lot of compliments. I came out of a shelter in Georgia, but everything changed when I got rescued. Now I’m safe. I’m loved. I’m ready to find a real family who wants a best friend. I’m about 24 pounds now, and even when I fill out, I’ll probably stay in the 30 to 40 pound range. That’s small enough for your lap but sturdy enough for your adventures. People say I might be a mix of fox terrier, cattle dog, and pointer. That means I’m smart, loyal, playful, and curious. I’m young and still figuring things out. I love to explore, I love people, and I’m clean in my kennel. I used to panic on the leash and flop around like I was in a drama class, but I’ve gotten way better. These days, I just want to go out and sniff the world. With other dogs, I bring the party. I’ve got puppy energy and I play hard. Some dogs love it. Others tell me to chill, and I don’t always pick up on that right away. I do best when someone steps in and gives me a reset. I don’t mean harm. I just get excited. Cats? Yeah, I’m not the best match for them. Sometimes new stuff makes me nervous, especially the vet or being crated. I can get mouthy when I feel trapped. But when I know I’m safe, I settle right in and show my soft side. What I need is someone with a kind heart and a strong voice. Someone who will help me stay busy and teach me how to be the best version of me. If you’re the kind of person who sees potential and sticks around to see it bloom, we might be meant for each other. So, who wants a forever friend that’s fun, loyal, full of life, and pretty easy on the eyes? I’m right here, waiting. ##2510854##

Ever wonder if it is even possible for show stopping beauty, an amazing brain, AND a five-star winning personality to come in the same package?! Lucky for you — they do for this sweet girl! Juniper is a treasure of a dog, waiting for her forever home. Just look at those beautiful, bright amber eyes and freckled nose. Juniper is a gorgeous girl and a perfect medium size. She always upbeat and carries a smile on her face. Besides her looks, Juniper is also a very smart, trainable girl. The sky is the limit for her. She’s eager to learn. She’s also pretty athletic so she would be a great running companion. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try dog sports like agility. Juniper would be perfect! And best of all, Juniper has a very sweet disposition with every person she meets. She craves attention from her people and will be a loyal companion for years to come! She would be perfectly content being an only dog or possibly one other canine companion that suits her fancy. She's doggy selective, and would need a little time to warm up to a new BFF once they know she's in charge of the playtime antics. Juniper is a year or two old, 40-45 lb.

Story

Phoebe is an Aussie Shepherd mix born around 12/20 who radiates a sweet, gentle energy. While she is still a tiny pup discovering her own personality, she is exceptionally polite, often choosing to approach people with a steady, graceful pace. She is a bright and curious soul, always eager to investigate the world around her, yet she remains remarkably focused as she learns something new every day. Phoebe is a spirited playmate who loves a good wrestling match with her littermates, but she is just as quick to settle into a peaceful cuddle at your feet once the fun is over. Already well-behaved enough to sleep through the night, Phoebe’s blend of an inquisitive mind and a quiet, observant charm makes her a truly delightful companion in the making. She will need a family who is home often to help her grow and become a wonderful adult pup!
