Story

Updated 12/19/2024: Canelo came into my home late (9/2024) through a friend whose bitch gave birth to him about 2 years ago. He previously lived in a family with a young girl. The parents purchased him during Covid when they were working from home. They now work long days away from home and were unable to give him proper attention. I agreed to take in Canelo to help out. Unfortunately my home is far too small and frankly, at 62 with a bad knee, this is not a good fit. Canelo needs room to spread out, play, and get exercise. He is very active and likes to play, so would do well with a family in a large home or large yard. He also likes to watch cartoons. He is very affectionate, and protective. He is trained to go outside on a leash only 3x per day. He is very responsive to training and with a little training, he will give a good family a lot of joy. He loves to have his coat vacuumed and take showers. He will need to be neutered, vaccinated and chipped.

Story

Michael is a lab retriever/terrier mix who is about 5 months old. He was acquired 1 month ago from a shelter in the west Chicagoland area. His number 1 personality trait is being social. He is full of energy and joy throughout all moments of the day. Michael loves going on long walks and meeting new people. He is also mostly trained both inside and outside the house. He knows sit extremely well and will let us know he needs to go outside to go to the bathroom by bringing us our shoes or ringing bells by the front door. He never barks or growls at people, and only rarely does so with other with other animals (squirrels and birds, not other dogs). He does very well with other dogs and plays well with them. Michael loves getting to know new people and loves giving them kisses. He loves playing fetch with some of his favorite toys like frisbees, tennis balls and kong toys.

Bolingbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Full transparency, Walter is a high needs dog with a bite history. He has bitten both owners, our child (1year old) and one guest. Walter is a 4 year old labradoodle purchased from a breeder as a puppy. He is sweet (most of the time), loves walks, chasing after a ball, seek and find games, and seek and destroy games. His high needs: -highly anxious. Loud noises, new people, etc. -resource guarding -reactive -sensitive to grooming (both professional and owner) -barks for attention -jumps when greeting -needs regimen/ schedule and lots of exercise for best behavior He knows all basic commands: sit, stay, down, roll, shake, come He loves kongs, destroying cardboard boxes, squeaky toys, walks and car rides. We are very sad to rehome him but cannot give him the attention he needs and do not want to live in fear he will bite our young child again. Most of his behavior is predictable if you are able to read his body language.

Ivy

American Pit Bull Terrier Husky

Female, Adult

Bolingbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ivy is a spunky 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier, Siberian Husky, and Boxer mix (reported by Embark DNA). Unfortunately, work had her person relocate to another state and traveling for work more than is fair to her. He would love for her to find happiness in her new forever home. She is loves to run and has an impressive vertical jump, so a yard with a tall fence is a must! Her manners need some work, but she knows "sit," "lay down," and "go to bed (crate)." She meets every new person and situation with enthusiasm, so smaller children may end up getting knocked down in her excitement. She loves to play fetch and tug of war (you will tire long before she does). Plush puzzle toys she can stick her snoot in are some of her favorites. She loves to cuddle and develops great concern when you are under the weather or sad, so be prepared for the healing power of love.
