Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/s28JEfhNywNyLBRYA I am about 10 months old. I am so sweet, active and affectionate! * I am the perfect medium size. I love every single person and animal. I am honestly the best of both breeds. Easily trainable, would make an excellent running companion . But also like to lay around like a couch potato with my family. I will independently hang out chewing on a bone, sleep on the couch, or play and have fun. I would be up for any adventure. I have a cute happy quirky personality (but not in an annoying behavior problem kind of way). I was raised in foster care, so I don’t have any strange “history”. Ive always lived with dogs and welcome any. I don’t have dominance issues. And I live with and move my kids. I am well loved! And Baby is my actual name 😂😂😂 (One of my eyes is part blue, due to my Merle coloring!)

JD

Australian Shepherd

Male, Senior
Lindenhurst, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
JD is a lover! We have had him since a pup and he turns 10 this September. We went back and forth on if we could keep him, but with the addition of our daughter and future children we cannot give him the attention, time, and love that he needs and deserves. He loves to be active as well as cuddle in bed. He is great to take on runs because he likes to move fast. He is very smart. He is also very food driven. He does not get along with our toddler and it has become difficult to give them both what they need. He is used to going to the bathroom outside 3-4 times a day. We want him to find a safe home with someone who can be better dog parents than us. He is truly a loving dog, but with our lifestyle deserves more. He is still so energetic and agile, you would not believe he will be 10. If you want cuddles, love, and a buddy who always wants to hang out JD is a great dog for you.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dottie’s story has become the norm. Her owner went to a nursing home and Dottie was left homeless. Her owner loved her a lot…with food, so Dottie is currently on a weight loss journey. She has gone through a lot in a short period of time, but she hasn’t let it get her down. This 4 yr old is past the puppy stage and is potty and crate trained, but would really enjoy sleeping in bed with her new family. She loves meeting people and will show her appreciation by flipping over for a belly rub. Can you be her happily ever after? Adoption fee $400. If you are interested in Dottie please fill out an application at www.adoptablefriends.org
