Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bliss. She came to us with her dog buddy, both picked up as strays. Bliss has the most incredibly soft fur, cute wrinkles and very expressive eyes. She takes treats very gently, but also is good at catching them in the air! She sits nicely on command and is very friendly. She pulls a little on a leash, but a no-pull harness will cure that. She is a nice medium-sized dog...about 50 pounds? Bliss has been non-reactive to cats. When she got to see some in their wire kennels and one strongly hissed at her, she simply cocked her head, and went the other direction. Great reaction! She obviously likes some dogs, since she came here with her dog friend, but she is reactive to the other dogs as she "walks the gauntlet of barking dogs". This is fairly normal, but a meet-n-greet with your dog is recommended. Slow introductions that may take days or even weeks is NORMAL for both dogs and cats and will help ensure a happy future.If you are looking for a super soft and lovable friend, come meet Bliss!

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.
