Noodles

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Adult

Irvington, IL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Took her in 3 months ago from running wild on the street. She had a collar on with a number, but when we called the previous owner told us she no longer wanted Noodles and we could just have her. We took her in and soon discovered she was pregnant. She's had the puppies (7 weeks ago as of 11/13, so she's no longer nursing), so we're looking for homes for her and her pups. She's very active and bouncy, but smart and learns quickly. She pulls quite a bit while walking, but learning day by day to be more calm. She is well house trained. She is very snuggly, likes to crawl on laps and snuggle up to me in bed. She nibbles gently while playing and likes to bounce and chase people, but doesn't seem interested in toys beyond things she can chew up. She is constantly hungry, and will dig through the trash if left alone and can smell them (she has been turning over the trashcan in my room and stealing empty chip bags). Throws up very easily since she gets so excited.

Story

Meet Joey, a sweet pup with an incredible story of resilience. Joey and his four siblings arrived at WCAC scared, unsocialized, and in need of a lot of love. To them, people were terrifying, but thanks to the kindness and dedication of the community, Joey has made amazing progress. He’s now a gentle, good-tempered pup who gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids. Joey is ready to begin his next chapter with optimism and a wagging tail! We believe he may be a collie mix. Please note that the listed adoption fee does not include the cost of neutering or bringing him up to date on vaccinations. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Animal Control at 618-327-9471 or reach out through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064739284772.

Meet sweet Indigo, a gentle and loving 6-month-old who has been waiting far too long for her forever home. We’re stunned she hasn’t been adopted yet! Indigo is already spayed and ready to start the next chapter of her life. While she can be selective about other dogs, she’s very playful once she feels comfortable with them. As for cats—well, Indigo isn’t quite convinced they aren’t plotting something! Be the change Indigo needs in her life. Come visit and maybe even adopt her today!
