Story

Queen Whitney is here to take over your couch and your heart! Whitney is queen of many things: zoomies, the yard, her royal subjects (her fan club), and her wubba kong toys. The though she has a band of followers, she hasn't found her own throne to sit upon! Could that be your couch? Will you join her royal family? Whitney hasn't wasted her time at the shelter or in her foster home. She's been working on many of the things a royal pup should know. She is an expert cuddler, knows lots of fun tricks, and has been working on her walking etiquette. She prefers that her subjects greet her with a game of fetch or "touch" instead of a bow. Whitney comes with her own courtier (trainer) to assist her as she settles into her new kingdom. Kirsten, from Wise Dogs Training, has been working with Whitney while she has been in foster to help her prepare to be a queen. Whitney's court is also prepared to support her transition to a new home and is always happy to chat about how wonderful of a ruler she is! Ask to meet Queen Whitney and we will happily arrange a meeting with Her Grace!

Story

Abby is a trooper. This little girl has been through so much in the last year. She had struggled so much when she was in the shelter (if you are part of our social media community, you may recognize her) and we were all so excited for her when she was adopted last Christmas. Unfortunately, her amazing adopter did not know that he was sick at the time and recently passed away. Abby has been grieving the loss of her best friend, but has landed in a loving foster home. We are getting to know who Abby is all over again, and she is showing just how sweet we knew she was. Abby is looking for a low-key home who will remind her just how special she is every day.

Doberman Pinscher Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 8 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Lionel, a one-year-old Doberman Pinscher mix with a heart as big as his paws! This lovable furball has been charming everyone at the shelter since February, and it's no wonder why-he's a true people-pleaser who gets along famously with other dogs and kids. Lionel is the perfect blend of adventure and affection; he's always up for exploring the great outdoors but equally enjoys snuggling up on the couch for some quality cuddle time. Housebroken and eager to please, Lionel is ready to bring joy and companionship into his forever home. However, he does have a quirky aversion to garden hoses-let's just say he's not a fan of their splashy antics! Despite this small hiccup, Lionel's friendly demeanor and zest for life make him a favorite among his shelter friends. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who's ready for both exciting adventures and cozy nights in, Lionel is the dog for you.
