Story
Meet Makai. He is such a sweet and loving boy that is looking for the right home. We adopted Makai while on vacation on the beautiful island of Hawaii but unfortunately he has not integrated with his three cat siblings due to his herding instincts. He also tries to herd young children. He is not aggressive but he has a lot of energy and would thrive with an active family without young children. Makai loves other dogs and would make an excellent dog siblings as he goes to doggie daycare and loves all of his doggy pals. He just doesn’t know what to do with these cats! We would love to rehome Makai so that both him and our other pets can have happy lives.

Story
My spouse and I received a phone call from a family member about 7 months that a homeless man had his dog tied to a park bench and was not fit to keep this dog. We decided to take the dog in with hopes we could acclimate Blue with our dog. After months of trying and having Blue nuetered, the two just haven't been able to respond well with each other. Blue is well trained, knows all his commands, house trained(for the most part), loves cuddling, walks, running in the yard, and most of all peanut butter. We are hoping Blue has the opportunity to find a family that gives him all the love and freedom in a house that he deserves.

Trixie

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Female, 8 yrs 11 mos
La Grange Highlands, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Trixie Age: 7-9 years Gender: Female Breed: Pit/Boxer mix Weight: 42 lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: No Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Energy Level: Low-Medium Vaccinated: Yes Spayed: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Location: Trixie is being fostered in Wheaton, IL. No out of state applicants, please. Characteristics: Affectionate, silly, soulful, loyal. Trixie is a nine-year-old female pittie/boxer mix that is sweet as can be! When you see her running around a backyard you won't believe she's a senior dog. She is so small (45 lbs) that you can carry her in your pocket. She loves to nap in a pile of blankets, roll over for belly scratches, and smell every tree in the neighborhood. This gorgeous girl hasn't had the easiest life. She doesn't like to be left in a crate, but will happily hang out in one if a human is in the room with her. Trixie prefers to roam the house when unattended, because being shut in rooms makes her nervous. Trixie walks nicely on a leash and LOVES treats which makes for great training opportunities. She likes puzzle toys and lickimats. She's interested and curious about other dogs, but would do best as an only-dog unless her owners were very dedicated to slow introductions and maintaining separate spaces for all dogs. While Trixie doesn’t live with cats currently, she was cat tested and did amazing! We don't really know how old Trixie is, but her body condition upon rescue showed signs of neglect and lots of time spent outdoors in the elements. She deserves comfort and love from here on out! If you're looking to make special memories with a very deserving dog, consider Miss Trixie! She will make you laugh every day with her goofy antics and zest for life. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog

Bailey

Mastiff

Female, 3 yrs 7 mos
La Grange Highlands, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bailey Age: 2 years Gender: Female Breed: Mastiff mix Weight: 100lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: No Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Unknown Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium, can and will find things she can destroy if not watched or exercised regularly. Location: Fostered in Chicago, Illinois. No out of state applicants, please. Bailey came to us as a skinny, terrified, stray dog that would have likely been euthanized at animal control. Her finder spent days gaining her trust to get her off the streets, and offered to foster her. Bailey has blossomed since first being found. She loves to be outside. Very protective of her people. Loves to roll in the grass. Sweetie pie. Loves to eat. Enjoys stealing wet cat food. Not a fan of other dogs. Still working on her walking calm when others are too close for her comfort but she’s a protective breed and watches over her foster mom. She doesn’t care for bike riders. Bailey is a sweetie pie that thinks she's a small lap dog. She's happy just to be with you. She loves long walks and playing outside but if you just want to stay inside and watch a movie she's content to put her big head on your lap and watch the movie with you. Bailey would do best in a quiet home with adults only. If you’re interested in meeting Bailey, please fill out an application at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog

Suzanne

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
La Grange Highlands, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dog name: Suzanne Age: 2 Gender: Female Breed: Pitbull mix Weight: 53 lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: Slow intros Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium Location: Fostered in Highland Park, Illinois. No out of state applicants, please. Let me be dead instead. This is Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren’s “after” post. The one where we show you how happy and healthy she looks since we rescued her. A lucky dog who escaped a euthanasia deadline, and is now grateful, and loving life. Nailed it. As you can see by her face…Suzanne fucking hates us. She’d rather be dead instead. Since joining DHD, Suzanne spends her days crafting escape plans, and mass producing homemade shivs…which she strategically stashes throughout her foster home. Suzanne is just biding time until her master escape plan “shank a DHD bitch” can be executed or she gets adopted. By applying to adopt, you can save a DHD volunteer from being shanked, and you can get Suzanne out of this hellish rescue. Suzanne is a well rounded dog that is potty trained, crate trained, dog friendly, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. But wait…there’s more! Her adoption fee includes her HBTH “eat a bag of dicks” collar, a leash, harness, orange prison jumpsuit, and a never been done before, shiv scavenger hunt! You’ll have 45 seconds on the clock to find as many of the Suzanne hidden shivs as you can. The more shivs you find, the more shivs you take home! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog
