*CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. PLEASE CALL 815-858-2265 TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET PEACHES* I am a very unique girl, according to a DNA test I am a mix of Chihuahua, Toy Fox Terrier, Japanese Chin, and 13 other breeds! I was found as a stray and have been to a few homes; I am finding it hard to find my place. But thanks to my foster family I know Id do well in a home with another dog and a fenced in yard. I have learned so much by being around other dogs, they show me what I should and shouldnt be doing and their companionship helps me burn off my excess energy. I am very good at catching things, especially treats, they are my favorite, but I can catch toys too. I am looking for a furever family that will accept my loyalty and loving companionship, and who will also understand it may take a little time to warm up. Please submit an application for me today!

Let me introduce you to Pumpkin, the adorable girl weighing about 15 pounds-small in size but big on sweetness! Pumpkin may be a little shy at first, but give her a moment, and she'll warm up to you faster than you can say treats!; Once she feels comfortable, Pumpkin is a true sweetheart who thrives on love and affection. She's happiest when she's snuggled up with you, soaking in all the cuddles and giving plenty of love in return. And don't worry about her social skills-Pumpkin is just as friendly with other dogs, especially if they're around her size. She's always up for making new friends and enjoys having a canine companion by her side. Looking for a dog you can trust while you're away? Pumpkin is the perfect candidate! Give her a nice bone to chew on, and she'll stay content and happily occupied until you return home from work, or a stop at a store! Pumpkin is more than just a dog; she's a little bundle of joy waiting to bring warmth and happiness into your life. You just need the patience, some treats, and bam, a lifelong companion! Without even mentioning, this darling girl is house-broken, and knows alllll the basics to being the best doggy!

Story
Scooby the doll, is looking for nothing more than patience, love, companionship, and cuddles. At about a year old, somehow this guy is pretty chill; but definitely has the moments of zoomies, jumps, runs, dances, and chases, at about 8 pounds, that's no biggie! Although Scooby is pretty shy when it comes to strangers, at first; he never fails to warm up, and indulge in all the love they've got to offer, ALWAYS reciprocating with plenty of kisses! He' done just that as he begins to flourish in his amazing foster home - here he is showing more and more growth, and learning to be comfortable in all sorts of situations. If I were to guess where Scooby's happy place would be, once home, and comfortable; it'd be cuddled right up next to someone he loves, and napping under a blanket, content as can be. Scooby LOVES other dogs, especially those around his size, ignores cats, and is occasionally intimidated by loud, fast moving young children/loud noises. This sweet boy seems to have all of his basic skills accounted for, including his ADORABLE puppy dog eyes. We think Scooby will do amazingly in just about any home willing to provide the time, patience, and understanding for his adjustment. Especially considering his genuine sweetness, and understanding of the basics!

Mister Cosgrove.... the peanut... There is not a single better way to describe him, he's simply the king! Cosgrove enjoys the finer things in life, cuddling, cuddling, sun bathing, some more cuddling, and sometimes he's got the itch for some playtime! While Cosgrove is definitely more shy when meeting strangers, a couple gentle invitations onto your lap, and he's your best bud. Extra points if you've got dehydrated liver, or hotdogs! Cosgrove knows all of the skills of house-dog living from his crate-training, house-breaking, and simple commands; what makes him a standout? His absolute zest for companionship! Whether he finds it in other dogs, cats, or YOU at any given moment; despite his hesitance, he ALWAYS breaks through, and that's what we love to see! Cosgrove is about 2 years old, and weighs in around 10 pounds, he's lived happily with other animals, and enjoys kids who are gentle, and well-mannered. We can see Cosgrove doing well in just about ANY home willing to give him the time he needs to adjust!

Itsy Bitsy Ruby, the sweetest little girl under the sun. At about 7 years old, and only about 9 pounds, Ruby feels most content when she's in a lap, or being gently petted. (She's lost the perfect amount of weight from when she was chunky in a couple photos!) This darling girl gets along well with other dogs, and cats, too, and she definitely does best with gentle kiddos who respect a small dog's space!! There are no words to describe the way Ruby can make any heart feel so full, and warm; just the simple act of showing her the love she's always deserved is beyond rewarding, let alone when she does the same in return. Ruby was definitely someone's well-loved sweet girl, as she knows everything and anything to being the perfect companion; from house-training to lap lovin! We can't get enough of Ruby, and we know you won't be able to, either! She can never get enough snuggles, pets, or cuddles in with those she loves!

Littleman! A renowned favorite here, EASILY! This boy should be part of our paid staff; he's the best greeter dog we've got with his endless wiggles - though bashful, he warms up so well! He never fails to greet EVERYONE with a wiggly butt, happy-boy smile, and all the kisses they desire! Whether it's a cat, dog, or kind kid, he loves it all. He ALWAYS leaves a smile on EVERYONE'S face because he's just that type of pup! At about a year old and a hardy 12 pounds, his size is juuuustttt right! He TREASURES his toys, specifically stuffies, and it's so adorable! We think that makes him even better, as he's so much life and love packed into one itsy-bitsy baby! Not to mention, Littleman's snuggles are top-tier-he's essentially a warm heating pad on a winter day kind of snuggler. We can't get enough of him! Littleman loves spending his time on a lap, at people's feet, romping the dog run with others, or purely bathing in the sun, warming up and taking a nice nap. We really don't think puppies get much better than this guy! He's got his basics down and is happy to show you all of it for treats! If you're looking for a pup that'll bring love and laughter beyond belief into your home, come meet Littleman! He's perfect, with that Elvis lip!
