My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**dog is not off leash, photo editing used to focus on this beautiful boy**
Meet Lenyn, affectionately called Lenny by our kennel staff. Lenyn is reportedly a 1.5 year old Pit/Bully mix who was brought to us as an owner surrender after a short adoption from Chicago Animal Care and Control. He was not a good fit for their household. Lenyn is a BIG (80 lbs ish) active boy who is in need of a strong owner, and he needs training and routine (like any of our available dogs) to make him the best boy he can be. Lenyn cannot go to a home with cats, or small children (16 years of age and up, please) due to his excitability and mouthiness in combination with his size (and prey drive with cats). He is extremely mouthy at times and very playful. He may do fine with other larger dogs who can match his playful energy but this would be determined on a case by case basis by meet and greet. Lenyn is housetrained and reportedly did well in the home even when not crated if left alone (but we do recommend crating until proven trustworthy in a new home). Lenyn really needs work with leash walking but is very trainable and food motivated, and knows commands "sit" and "down" already. Lenyn AKA Lenny would like to leave ASAP to an adoptive home or rescue! Prior to coming here he was very kennel stressed at CACC and given his excitability we want him out of the kennel environment ASAP. His adoption fee is $150, he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov or stop by during our open business hours to meet our resident "sour patch kid".

More about this shelter

Kendall County Animal Control is the county agency responsible for enforcement of the state statutes governing rabies control in domestic companion animals. The State of Illinois requires that all dogs are vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Compliance with this law is monitored through the issuance of rabies tags for all dogs residing in the county. All dogs are required to wear their rabies tags when off of the owner's property. If a pet is lost, rabies tags also provide an excellent means of identifying your pet.

Kendall County Animal Control also enforces the county's ordinance that prohibits dogs from running at large in unincorporated residential subdivisions, investigates reports of animal bites, and will pick up contained stray dogs in unincorporated Kendall County during operating hours. Stray and owner released cats and dogs may also be brought to the facility during business hours. Cats and dogs are available for adoption at the facility.
