Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Laney
11 months old DOB 3/21/18
Border Collie/Great Pyrenees Mix
Laney and her brother Luke were dropped off at a vet clinic in Kentucky by what they thought was their forever family, but unfortunately they never returned. For 4 months they waited. There was no choice if a rescue wasn’t found they were headed to the shelter. Thank goodness we got a wonderful family in Illinois to foster them. Here’s what they are saying about Laney. She is a very sweet, playful puppy who just wants to be by your side. She is shy and a bit nervous when meeting new people but warms up quickly. She is housebroken, crate trained and is doing very well with basic commands. Her foster home has small children, and she is well behaved around them. She does have one quirk, she “HAS” to go through a doorway first, she will stop and refuse if she doesn’t lead. So the foster family just lets her go first. She is not high energy, but does love to be outside and a fenced in yard is highly recommended. She is such a joy to be around, anyone would be lucky to welcome her into their home.
Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescue dogs. We are committed to finding our rescues the perfect home. Together we can make a difference in the life of a dog.
The adoption process should be a fun and exciting times for families and dogs. Our goal is to place our babies in forever homes. The potential adopter needs to be dedicated to their care and training for life.
Understand that sharing your life with a dog can be a commitment of 15+ years. This would include feeding, exercise, training, vetting, and providing a loving home. Ask yourself, "Am I ready for this type of commitment?" If you are ready, we are here to help. We do have some requirements to help us find the perfect placement of our babies.
1. Apply online at https://www.foreverhomedogrescueil.org
We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family (including other dogs) to approve an adoption. Only a final approval for adoption can take place after a successful meet and greet. This is done by appointments only. We will not proceed with the adoption if everyone has not met the dog. This will allow others the opportunity to adopt the dog.
2. Adopters MUST be 21 years old.
Information on all adults/members living in the home is required
We REQUIRE you to provide proof and vet reference that all current and past pets have been kept up to date on all routine medical.
3. Illinois law requires that all of our dogs and puppies be spayed/neutered within 30 days of adoption. In order to fully comply with this regulation and reduce the number of homeless dogs and puppies, we do not permit out of state adoption on unaltered dogs/puppies.
4. If you do not own your home, you must provide landlord contact information on the application and a copy of your lease that outlines the rules for dog ownership in your residence.
Large breed dogs will not be adopted into apartment settings or where there are breed/ size restrictions.
Puppies have special need and require a home where someone is available to care for, socialize, and give basic training. If you are gone for more than a couple hours at a time, please consider adopting a teen or older dog.
5. Adoption fees are $300. We accept checks or cash. (Prices are subject to change without notice).
6. All dogs and puppies adopted through Forever Home are fully vetted with age appropriate vaccines. Keep in mind once you take possession of your newly adopted dog, any and all future medical costs or care is YOUR responsibility.
7. First time puppy/dog adopters will be required to sign up for and pay in advance a basic training class. A deposit of an extra 50.00 will be required until a class has been completed, it will then be returned.
