Story
For the month of April, the adoption fee is $200 with approved application. Call our office for adoption details! 815-725-0333Taylor is a three year old Cattle Dog mix available for adoption. Taylor has been with us before but unfortunately, her owner did come back for her this time. Taylor does well with other dogs but her cattle dog energy can come off strong in the beginning. Once she settles, she is all play bows and tail wags. No cats for Ms Taylor though. Taylor loves treats and will sit patiently to earn her biscuits. Taylor enjoys going on walks and stretching her legs. She would love an active family that takes her on adventures or strolls around the neighborhood. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay.

Eighty pounds of solid muscle. Big goober personality. Rhaego is a two year old Pittie mix that was found as a stray in the local area. He was then surrendered by his owner as they were unable to keep him and wanted our help to find his never forever home. Rhaego is a big goofball that is packed with power and muscle. He loves toys and playing with other dogs. He`s all tail wags and play bows. Sometimes he doesn`t realize how big he truly is and may knock over little ones on accident. Rhaego needs a strong handler that can handle his strength and muscle. He loves to go on walks and roll around in the grass. He hopes for lots of sunny days and long walks around his neighborhood in the future. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter.

Joliet, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Everyone meet Papaya. Papaya came to JTAC in rough shape. She was `found` by someone and they had brought her in. She smelled horrible of feces, extremely thin, wounds/skin infections, and she had the look of defeat and despair on her face. Underneath all of that, you could see Papaya`s spirit glowing. We loved her outrageous ears that tend flop and do their own thing. Papaya settled in and you could see her confidence flourish. She`s a four year Pittie that`s on the smaller side. She`s about thirty five pounds but still needs to pack on pounds to get to a healthy weight. When she first arrived, Papaya did PHENOMENAL with other dogs and enjoyed their presence. She has been with us for quite some time now and is stressed. She is not a fan of other dogs here so she is looking for a home without other pets while she adjusts and decompresses. She may be open to dogs again once she settles in. She is not a fan of cats. Her adoption fee is $160, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay

Scuba is a three month old Lab mix available for adoption. He was found as a stray and was never reclaimed. Scuba has a fun personality and loves to wrestle and play.

He will rummage through our toy bin and drag each and every toy out. He hopes to have his own toy bin when he gets adopted!

Story
Shanel is a three year old Pittie that is ready to make her debut and find her forever home! Shanel is a short, little pittie with a big personality and leaves an imprint on you when you meet her. She has been with us for quite some time and will need a patient home that will give her time to adjust and decompress in her new surroundings. The shelter life can be stressful, especially for Shanel, and she will need an experience owner to help her adapt. Shanel loves people and soaking in all the attention. She enjoys greeting people in the front office or trotting alongside you during walks. At this time, we are looking for a home without any other pets for her. Shanel is a true gem and once you give her the training, patience, and time for her to settle in, she`ll be your furry companion for life. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay
