Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Franklin is an 8-week-old, 8-pound male who is believed to be a mix of Poodle and German Shepherd. His journey began with a Good Samaritan who couldn’t look away when help was needed. After convincing the owner to surrender Franklin and his littermates, she also contacted authorities to ensure the adult dogs in the home would receive proper care. Our organization has stepped in to support this effort, covering any necessary expenses.
Now safe and sound, Franklin is soaking up the joys of indoor life in his foster home in McHenry, Illinois. He’s discovering the wonders of toys, enjoying his meals with enthusiasm, and basking in the love and attention from the resident children. His personality is blossoming, and he’s proving to be as charming as he is resilient.
Please remember, we identify breeds based on veterinary opinions and what we are told by previous owners, but we cannot guarantee exact breeds. Franklin is up to date on immunizations, dewormed, and microchipped. He’s ready for his fresh start with a loving family.
If Franklin sounds like the missing piece to your family puzzle, reach out to meet him today—

More about this rescue
Our Experience and Approach to Rescue
With over 60 years of combined experience in veterinary medicine and competitive arenas for both horses and dogs, our team brings a wealth of knowledge to the world of animal rescue. We receive calls from both Wisconsin and Illinois, often from shelters asking for individuals who initially thought raising a litter would be enjoyable but found it more challenging than expected.
When we take in these puppies, we ensure that the owners agree to spay or neuter the parents, and we cover the cost as our commitment to ending preventable breeding cycles. By stepping in before these puppies reach shelters, we protect them from exposure to parvovirus and other illnesses common in high-stress environments.
Given our small size and limited resources, we must be selective in the cases we take on. However, even when we cannot take in every litter, we’re still committed to funding and arranging for parents to be altered, directing many families to appropriate resources.
The animal rescue community is vast, and there are many ways to help—this is ours. We may each do things differently, but together, we all play a role in making a difference.
