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 APPLICATIONSHi there! I’m Mocha, and I was named for my beautiful, chocolate-colored fur, though my foster family says my personality fits the name too. Sometimes I get these sudden bursts of puppy energy, and they call them my “mocha latte zoomies”. I love to play, and get along great with other dogs and kids, and while I haven’t met any cats yet, I’m still young and learning about the world.Thought to be around 3 months old, I’m a super smart little girl, and already picking up on potty training. Like most puppies, I’m still learning what I should and shouldn’t chew, and I’m easy to redirect and eager to learn. Every day I’m becoming a little more confident. I still like to follow my fosters from room to room just to see what they’re doing, because I enjoy being part of the action. At night, I sleep in my crate, and I settle down after several minutes and sleep well.My foster family says I’m the kind of puppy who makes people smile and laugh with my clumsy little sprints, silly zoomies, and joyful puppy kisses. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and clever puppy to love for a lifetime, I might just be the perfect one for you.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!

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.

Story
Sheina (DOB 5/18/24) is such a stunning girl! We are guessing shes a Kelpie/German Shepherd mix and she is so smart! Sheina is around 50lbs. She is dog friendly, cats unknown. Sheina is hoping to having a home with a privacy fence so she can run around enjoying the world. She also needs a home with kids over the age of 12. Sheina can be a little skittish, so she’d need a family who is patient and will give her time to show what an amazing companion she can be! Overall, Sheina is eager to learn and be the very very best girl. Sheina promises to be your best friend and who could resist those amazing perky ears.

Name: Aries Oliver Breed: Border Collie / Labrador Retriever Mix Gender: Male DOB: 8/11/25 Aries Oliver is a young Border Collie/Lab mix with a bright mind, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to bond. Born on 8/11/25, he’s still very much a puppy — curious about the world and eager to grow into the best companion he can be. With his breed mix, Aries brings together intelligence and affection. He enjoys staying busy, learning new things, and engaging with his people. Training sessions, interactive toys, and outdoor adventures are great ways to engage with him and keep him entertained. He is at a wonderful age to continue building confidence and developing strong household manners. Aries would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise and mental stimulation.

With guidance and consistency, he has all the potential to become a loyal, well-rounded adult dog. He is looking for a family that understands the needs of an intelligent working-breed mix and is excited to invest time in helping him succeed. In return, Aries Oliver will offer companionship, enthusiasm, and a lifetime of devotion.
