Story
I took her in after a good friend of mine passed away but I never intended to keep her and I noticed the person who took her before was not treating her correctly. I did not want her to be treated badly so I took her with hopes to find a better home. She’s a good girl very companion type and playful when she wants. I just want her to have a good life.

Story
Meet Sashay! Sashay came to us recently after her owner went to prison and there were no family members/friends to take care of her. She is a sweet, but shy/scared little girl who is learning the ropes of being a puppy here with us. She was extremely fearful when she arrived and is now coming out of her shell and is a happy, playful pup. Sashay is 7 months old, and has bilateral cherry eyes that are being repaired 5/2/25 and she will be available to leave the shelter after that! Her photo in her profile is the old "pre-repair" photo and will be updated when she is back from the vet. She currently weighs about 30 lbs and will probably be 40 lbs or so at her adult weight. So far she seems to do great with other animals and lived with two small dogs before coming to us. Her adoption fee is $150 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations and bilateral cherry eye repair, and negative heartworm test. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov for more information on adopting Sashay!

Story
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY SPECIAL HOME, OR RESCUE GROUP FOR BOLT! Bolt has been through a lot in his short life! He is only 2 years old and has been a resident of 3 different homes, and two animal control facilities. He is a VERY sweet boy,, but has some typical breed behaviors -- the Hounds want to run, the Bulldogs are hard headed and stubborn. His name is "Bolt" because he wants to RUN when he can. He has the body stature of a Bulldog and weighs about 50 lbs. He gets along great with other dogs, and is friendly with children, BUT is a lot of dog. Enjoys a very boisterous play style and ramming into people and their knees, making him a perfect size to topple over toddlers. Bolt loves to play in a baby pool in the dog yard (although we think he would likely sink in any real depth of water due to his breed mix). He enjoys stealing food from humans and other dogs alike. Bolt would do best in a home with no children, or double digits and up due to these behaviors, and would love to go to a home with someone who can separate dogs at meal times, and baby/puppy proof the house against this little tank of a food thief. Bolt is approximately 50 lbs. He is reportedly housetrained but has had accidents in the house (he was also crated for nearly 24 hours per day in his previous home). He will do great with an active family who loves his playful, active self for everything he is! His adoption fee is $150 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and is heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov
