Story
Hi, my name is Nana, and I’m five years old. I’m a very, very sweet girl, but I’m also pretty fearful and still learning to feel safe and confident. I’m working hard on my leash training. Right now, our walks look something like this: walk a few feet, stop, sniff… sniff… sniff… and when my foster mom says, “Ready, let’s go!” we walk a few more feet and repeat. I’m learning at my own pace, and I’m doing my best! My house training is coming along, too. I can be a little picky about my food and I don’t always drink my water. My foster mom tries all kinds of things to encourage me. She even makes me homemade meals, and I LOVE them! I’m just not a fan of blueberries, apples, or peanut butter. I know what I like! At night, I sleep with my foster mom and stay right beside her all night. Whenever she wakes up, I’m always ready for more love and cuddles. I LOVE being gently brushed, and I don’t even mind taking a bath. But don’t turn your back on me when I’m in the tub… because I might make my escape! 😂 I’m a sweet girl who is learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. With patience, kindness, and lots of love, I’m hoping to find someone who will give me the time I need to blossom.If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Freya is the happiest pup! She is one year old and weighs 45lbs. She seems to love everyone she meets. She's always up for an adventure, enjoys car rides and walks. She likes to spend her day playing fetch with a ball or her favorite squeaky toy. Freya sleeps quietly in her crate next to her foster mom's bed at night. She is potty trained and enjoys playing in her backyard. She has a sweet personality along with a lot of energy and would love to have her person or family be one that can keep up with her adventurous and playful spirit! If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275.

Story
Hi, I’m T-Bear! I’m a one-eyed Australian Shepherd puppy with two eyes’ worth of personality and absolutely no idea that I’m supposed to be different. One eye doesn’t make me less of a dog. It just makes my face a little more unforgettable. I was found alone in a field and had already been through more than any puppy should. I eventually lost one of my eyes and needed surgery, but that chapter is over. These days, I’m much more interested in toys, adventures, cuddles, and figuring out exactly how much puppy mischief I can get away with. I run, wrestle, explore, and play like any other puppy. I’m curious about everything, I learn quickly, and when I’m finally tired, I turn into the sweetest little cuddle bug. Pick me up, and there’s a very good chance I’ll melt right into you. And guess what? I’m now in Illinois! No more waiting for me to travel across the country. I’m here and ready to meet my family. I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats, and I’m neutered and vaccinated. I’m still a puppy, so I’ll need someone ready for training, routines, exercise, and all the goofy moments that come with raising a baby Aussie. I’m T-Bear, and I’ve already found my way out of that field and into my second chance. ##2714725##

Story
Rescue puppy. Fully house broken, professionally trained. Not perfectly obedient but he comes, sits, etc.. He is very loving and likes to lean into and touch people to say hello. He has been great. Negatives. He barks at people or animals that walk past the house. He is alerting us and he wants to go play but as big as he is he intimidates people and other dogs when he gets all excited to see them. Once he is near a dog he is fine but when he first sees them he rushes at them and it is awkward. If he had a constant dog friend or friends I think he could get over this quickly. He also treats little kids the same way. He wants to get near them and play with them and maybe head them. His size intimidates people so that doesn't work out great. The reason we are rehoming him. He got lose and saw a dog across the street. He ran over to play and knocked over an older woman and she got hurt falling on the sidewalk, she sued us and we lost our insurance so I have to rehome to get reinsured. thx

Loki is one-of-a-kind—and he knows it! This sweet, quirky boy absolutely adores his human and has a big personality to match his big heart. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and great with kids once he gets home I know them. Loki has a very unique way of looking at the world. If something is out of place, you can bet he’ll notice and he’ll definitely have an opinion about it! He’s smart, observant, expressive, and full of personality.Loki would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention from his people.
