Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Creed is an absolute hoot! This big blue-nose boy is affectionate, playful and has the most expressive face! So many funny looks! Although he is huge, he thinks he is a lap dog. Creed is 3 years old. When he first comes out of the kennel, Creed, like all our dogs, is super happy to get out so he pulls a bit. But, he settles down, walks pretty easy and is responsive to leash corrections. A no-pull harness or training collar certainly makes it easier. Creed lived with other dogs, so we invite you to bring your dog for a meet and greet. At first glance, he seems okay with cats as well, but we can test him upon request. While Creed loves everyone, due to his size he might knock littles down, so older kids are probably best. If you are looking for a big, bubbly, cuddly, kind and entertaining boy, Creed is a great choice!

Additional adoption info
Our stray animals are held 10 days to see if the owner will claim them. If no one claims the animal, the animal is put up for adoption. We also accept owner surrendered animals (for a fee) if space allows. Also...Due to Illinois state law, no animals can be adopted without being fixed first. So, if the pet you select is spayed/neutered, you can take it home right away. If not, adoption will be finalized after our next spay/neuter clinic.
