Hey this is Dally, named after a character from The Outsiders, he isn’t the toughest like Dally form the book, he is a Covid dog, very wary of strangers and unfamiliar stuff, loud noises scare him, barks at the typical stuff that dogs bark at, a puller on walks, hates showers, dislikes car rides however he is very sweet, smart and loving once you really get to know him, full of energy and personality, loves food, loves the outdoors, he is handful which is why he needs someone who is , active and has the time to truly love him and care for him, that’s why he isn’t a price, cause he was a gift to me, he is a treasure

Story
Chino is a sweet 9 year old retriever mix. She is a very relaxed dog. She does enjoy long walks and all the snuggles you can give. Chino found me when she was a puppy. While it pains us to rehome her I know it's what's best for her. We've had two children over the last couple of years, we live in an apartment with no yard and our work schedules are all over the place. A new home for Chino has a nice yard and a new owner/family that will love her unconditionally. We want her new family to be able to have time to dedicate to her since we are unable to these days. Chino gets along with other pets in the home, but we think it would be best if she could be the only pet in the home.

Reese

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, Young
Bridgeview, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Reese is extremely energetic. He thrives in environments where he can run, play, and explore. We are looking for an owner who can spend a ton of time training him and exercising him. He requires lots of exercise- think daily runs, long hikes, and plenty of playtime. He will get into mischief if he does not receive appropriate exercise and mental stimulation. Reese would do best in a home without children. He has spent his entire life around our kids and while he loves them, he can be too boisterous for them to handle. He also has a natural tendency to herd children. He has not grown out of his “play biting” and often mouths children and people to get what he wants. Reese would also do best in a home without cats. He has a high prey drive and often antagonizes our cat. Reese would most likely do a great job with having a mentor dog in the home to show him proper manners. He knows many basic commands, can follow many obedience rules. He has great potential to grown into a great dog

Story
Ellie is a sweetheart who is looking for a homebody to hang out with. She loves going walks and does the best on short car rides. She is super sweet and loves cuddles (on her own terms of course lol), that being said she will do best in a household with older children or none. She would also do best in a household without puppies or energetic dogs. Her favorite hobby is sunbathing, even better if she can sunbathe in the backyard! She loves her naps after a nice long walk, even better if she can catch some sunshine. She loves snacks and can sit, stand and wait. She is super smart and can solve just about any treat dispensing toy given to her. Ellie’s separation anxiety will keep her anxiously awaiting your return, she would do best in a house or an apartment with understanding neighbors of her howling. She is a loving beagle who is excited to meet her new family who will set up her treat dispensing toys and take naps with during the day.

Story
Hi- I'm Toffee, and I'm a laid back lady! I was found as a stray, had mange and appeared to have just had puppies. I am fine with male dogs, but am not a fan of female dogs, small dogs or felines! I've been at the shelter for a long time, even though I am a sweet girl. I would be fine with older kids. I am working with a trainer and doing amazing. I take a couple of minutes to warm up, but once I do I'm ready for fun and snuggles! I just want someone to love me. Could it be you?
