This good looking fella is Curly; he's a 4.5-month old Cattle Dog/Pit Bull mix. He currently weighs about 20 pounds and will likely be a large dog when full grown.  Curly is your typical playful puppy, although he's a little bit shy. He loves spending time playing in the yard, which is where he warms up the fastest with new people. His foster parents think he'll do well in most environments, including families with children. Curly is a special guy who gets along with every person and dog. Although he loves to cuddle, he'll play with the other dogs until you sit down, then he wants to be with you. He's the happiest little guy and will smile when you talk to him.  Like most puppies, Curly is working on house-training. He knows the commands "sit" and "kennel," and he's quiet in the kennel. Curly sleeps with his foster parents in bed, where he likes to snuggle near their faces.  If you're looking for a travel buddy, Moe probably isn't the right fit.  This poor boy gets car sick.  But if you're looking for a mellow cuddle buddy, he's your guy! Curly's foster parents mentions that he loves treats, and he's learning to wait and take them gently. "He's all around one of the best puppies we've fostered."  He's so chill! He'd be a great puppy for a first time puppy owner. If you'd like to add this sweet boy to your family, apply today!  His minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Moe is the sweetest 4.5-month old Cattle Dog/Pit Bull mix. He currently weighs about 26 pounds and will likely be a large dog when he's full grown.  This handsome hunk of love gives the best cuddles and kisses. Moe is a very chill boy, and he's much more playful after coming out of his shell. His favorite activities include running around the backyard, chasing balls, and playing with tug ropes. He returns the balls to his foster mom 75% of the time. His night time routine includes chewing on bones and getting some late night snuggles. Moe gets along with cats and is respectful of their space. Although Moe ignores the cat most of the time, he occasionally wants to play, but stops when the cat has had enough. His favorite place is with his human, curled up (as close as possible) while watching TV. He also likes to play and be around other dogs.  Moe's foster mom believes he would do well with any family, although he hasn't been around children while in the foster home. He does great in his crate and is almost completely house trained. Moe has not met a stranger and is quite the social butterfly. He cannot wait to meet you!
