Story
Meet Maverick 🐾 Maverick is a fun-loving, energetic pup looking for his next adventure and forever home. He’s wonderful with kids and has been around other dogs, making him a great fit for an active family. This guy absolutely lives for the outdoors—especially in the winter! Maverick loves the snow and will happily spend hours catching snowballs. He listens well, stays close when outside, and enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing. Maverick does have a lot of energy, so he’ll thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Whether it’s hikes, backyard games, or snowy fun, he’s ready to be your sidekick. We are heartbroken to rehome him, but we are moving and unfortunately cannot take him with us. Our priority is finding him a loving, active home where he can continue to thrive. If you think Maverick could be the perfect fit for your family, please reach out ❤️

He is great with other dogs and loves to play with them. Due to his skittish nature Mikey does require a securely fenced yard.

Story
Meet Mae 🐾 At just over 2 years old, Mae is a sweet, easygoing Aussie/Chi mix looking for her person. She’s dog-friendly, great with kids, and loves a mix of playtime in the yard and relaxing on the couch. Mae is potty pad trained and likes her kennel, but she’ll need some consistency as she transitions to outdoor potty training. A home with a doggy door would be a big plus! She could also use a little more socialization to build her confidence. She’s gentle, loving, and happiest right by your side—just waiting for someone to give her the chance she deserves 💛

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We rescued Olive from someone who was wanting to rehome her. We knew no details other than she needed a new home. We picked her up November 29th 2022, she way born sometime in may 2022, so shes going on 4 years old. Olive a very loyal to her people, and extremely independent. She is very weary when meeting new people and also very vocal, shes an extremely smart dog but we think she has a preexisting fear and anxiety. She is extremely sweet when she knows her people, she doesn chew or tear anything up, we can just leave her out and she does well. She doesn’t go to the bathroom in the house, she will let you know when she needs to potty. We did put her through a 8 week training course that has helped a bit but shes un walkable outside when people are around and just barks a lot when outside in general. I believe its fear based as she will lunge and bark on the leash until she can’t see them anymore. It is best if you have a fenced in backyard.

Story
Icarus is a house‑trained, gentle‑hearted boy who is discovering how wonderful it feels to be loved. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd Mix who weighs 57 lbs.  He willingly goes to his crate for meals—just be sure to have a treat handy, because he prefers choosing it himself rather than being led. He spends his days soaking up affection, and curling up beside his people whenever he gets the chance. Inside, Icarus will occasionally burst into joyful zoomies, but outside he’s a calm observer who likes to sit quietly and take in the world. He’s a true lover at heart—soft, sweet, and happiest when he’s close. He’ll gently paw at you for pets and will happily snuggle up any time of day. Icarus enjoys walks, toys, and a good bone to chew on. His playful moments are adorable, but his favorite thing in the world is simply being loved on. Because he’s easily spooked by loud noises and sudden movements, Icarus will do best in an adults‑only home or with a family familiar with herding‑breed tendencies who has respectful, calm kids around 12+. Life with humans who care for him is still new, so an experienced dog owner will be the best match to help him continue building confidence and becoming the best version of himself. His foster mom describes him perfectly: Icarus is a very sweet boy who loves love. He’s a cuddler through and through, always ready to curl up beside you and soak in every bit of affection. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to his person, Icarus may be your perfect match. His minimum adoption fee is $300 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.
