Story
Blue is a warm loving, love bug. He came to us by a family friend at 8 weeks, he's five in human years. He's stays in the house, lives too cuddle, protect, eats and is a great alarm. Blue has never bitten anyone, and has been around children all his life. hHe currently lives, with a cat, hamster, small poodle and a newborn baby. I'm hoping someone can give Blue a nice home he's good with a quite life but he's also up for the hustle in fun. He's a good dog, I just can't manage all the pets with the baby. He's potty trained and stays in the yard, he's a love bug, he can identify a threat, he doesn't like face covering and hats.

Story
Jr. Is 5 years old, very timid good with kids since they were babies to toddlers. Very playful. Loves treats. Ive had him since he was born, he’s been around other dogs but doesnt get along with male dogs, we recently had a house fire and both dogs were in the house at the time and jr is taking it harder. He has been more scared than usual. Unfortunately my parents can not keep him any longer due to them already having 3 dogs. He needs to be in a household with no dogs or other pets. He doesn’t go in a cage durning the day he’s usually alone for about 6 hours til we get home from work. Only thing he does is try to get to your garbage can. He needs new rabies shots we can pay for those if needed.

Story
Herky is a 4 year old, 14lb Yorkie mix who loves to chase his ball, go on walks, ride in the car, and snuggle. We adopted him 7 months ago so we could be his forever home. We love him to pieces, but recently had a significant family health issue so are having to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. He is crate trained, house trained, and has had obedience training. He knows all the basic commands. He is super smart, loving, loyal, and protective of his humans. He is more hesitant with men at first, but will be your best bud once he knows you are giving him loving care. We are committed to finding the best forever home for him. If you think that is you, please reach out!

Story
Although his name is Diesel and he sounds aggressive he is the most kind/loving dog ever! We've had him ever since he was weeks old and now he is 4! He likes to be cuddled or even just in your presence. He loves the big dinosaur pillow shown in the pictures above! He only barks when there is someone at the door or a car in the driving up but of course that's all dogs. He does not make a mess because he is house trained. He could go outside without a leash but that is optional. He dislikes the rain and cold lol. I'm just looking for a nice and caring home that will love him just as much as my sister's and I did.

Story
I’m Manny, a 12 year old, 20 pound, male Corgi mix. I’m looking for a special home to spend my golden years. I’m very loving and get along with dogs and cats. I take my time warming up to new things. I am house trained. I am blind but get around fine and have no problem with stairs. In my past life I was very secluded and not cared for. That gave me some triggers. Well really just one — gates, any kind of gate. Because of Manny’s nervousness and past life, we will plan of multiple meetings. Also, Manny will need to be adopted within 50 miles of Flossmoor, IL. Manny is microchipped as well as up to date on vaccines, monthly preventatives. He has had a dental. Manny’s adoption fee is $150. If you are think you are Manny’s special someone, please visit heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your adoption application.

Story
ADOPT ZELDA! Updated breed info! We need to address the obvious. I am a Pug mix, but I’m tall and thin. As the DNA report shows, I’m a Pug/Malinois mix. So I’m easy to train. I don’t have the breathing issues, but I have the cutesy under bite and unique eyes. So here’s more about me. I love toys, dogs and kids. If a kid is playing with a ball I want to join. I am doing great with basic training. Boy do I like my food, which is great for my continued training. I’m houstrained. Overnight & when my foster mom is not home I stay in my crate. Zelda is up to date on vaccinations for her age, neutered, microchipped & current on heartworm & flea preventatives. Zelda’s adoption fee is $450. If you believe this wonderful little girl is for you, then using the menu at the top of the page, click on “Adoption Application.” Submit your completed application & you will be contacted. ***Please note that we are a foster based group located in the southern suburbs of Chicago. Under normal circumstances, we serve only the greater Chicago metropolitan area.***
