Story
Samson 8 Yrs. old DOB April 1st Australian Shepard Mix 100 pds Samson came to us at 1 years old. He adapted quickly to our home and became part of our family. He’s been a very loyal and great dog. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, we need to find him another home. This is a very difficult decision but I am determined to find him a good and loving home. He is best in a home with no other pets and works well with adults and teen aged children. He is slow to trust but once he does he is your best friend. He wants attention and lots of pets. I’m hoping to find a home with a big backyard so he can run freely. He walks well on a leash but will pull when something grabs his attention. Samson is incredibly loyal and very protective of his people. He is not good around strangers or strange animals so we keep our distance. Overall Samson is a great dog once you understand and work with his quirks. This is by no means an easy decision and it is with a heavy heart i write this.

Story
NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONSWinnie the Pooh is about 3-month-old Australian Shepherd mix puppy with the soft, cuddly charm of a teddy bear. True to her sweet name, she has a calm and gentle nature, often content to entertain herself or relax in your arms. She’s a curious little explorer who loves following her people around, chasing soft balls, and engaging in playful tug-of-war—especially with her beagle friend. Maybe around 30lbs when full grown, Winnie is wonderfully social, getting along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages, making her an easy fit in just about any loving home.Despite her young age, Winnie is already showing how eager she is to learn. She’s doing well with house training and even understands cues like “potty” and “outside.” While she’s still figuring out the leash, she settles nicely in her crate after a few minutes and sleeps peacefully in her pen or kennel. She has a playful chewing phase, but she’s easily redirected with her favorite squeaky toys and soft stuffies. Quiet and easygoing—she’s only barked once to ask for attention—Winnie is a joy to work with and a loving, adaptable companion ready to grow alongside her forever family.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lincoln is a handsome young Border Collie Mix, with an estimated date of birth of December 23 2022. He weighs about 45 lbs. He absolutely loves people and is very affectionate. However he is not fond of other dogs. Lincoln enjoys spending time in his foster family’s yard and would love a forever home with a large, secure fenced (above ground) yard. He loves spending time with human friends and needs a family or, a single pet parent, who will spend plenty of time with him. Because he’s not good with other dogs, dog parks are not on his list of favorite places! However, he is an active boy and would love to go for hikes and runs with his people….when he’s not playing in his own yard! Border Collie experience is a big plus for this smart boy. Due to his energy/playfulness, he is not an apartment or condo dweller. Rather, he’d love his own spaces where he could run and play, and an active family, or pet parent!! Lincoln is up to date on all vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative. He is neutered and microchipped as well. For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in the far NW suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to this area.

Libby

Australian Kelpie Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 11 mos
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.
