Story
Milo is a playful, super cute, 2-year-old puggle looking for a loving home. He weighs about 40 pounds, is neutered, potty-trained, up-to-date on all vaccinations & has the cutest curly tail you’ve ever seen. Milo has medium energy, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys an active dog but doesn’t need constant exercise. He still has some puppy energy/habits and could use a home with an experienced dog owner who is able to continue to work with him. Why We Are Rehoming Milo: Unfortunately, Milo has shown discomfort around our 3-year-old child; however, we have not experienced discomfort toward adults or other dogs (he does great at doggie daycare!). We are looking to rehome Milo for no other reason than our belief that he would do best in a home without young children. We are heartbroken to make this decision, but we know Milo will be happiest in a home where he and his human family can feel comfortable and secure!

Story
This is Finn, she is 4 lbs. She was found on the side of the road in 2017, so her bred is unknown but we believe she is a long haired chihuahua. She is around 8 or so years old. Finn is independent but likes to have someone around, quality time is definitely her love language. Finn can be shy at first, she takes a little bit of time to trust. But once she knows she can trust you, she will be so excited every time she sees you. She is very funny and likes to be goofy at times. At other times, she enjoys snoozing. She thrives in a home without other dogs or cats. She is very sweet, sassy and can be protective. Finn would do well in a home where you can read her body language. At times she likes alone time, and other times she enjoys cuddles. Younger children would probably not be the best with her, because of her cues of wanting to be alone.

Meet Lap and Manuel, the dynamic duo of 5-month-old male Pitbull Terrier-American Bulldog mixes, ready to steal your heart at CCHS! These little rascals were brought in after a surprise puppy party that their previous owner couldn’t handle. Being the lively pups they are, they’ll need some training classes to turn those playful shenanigans into well-mannered antics.

Story
I am a long-term dog resident here at the Champaign County Humane Society! What does that mean? It means I have been available for adoption for over 90 days and am more than ready to find my forever home! In fact, the shelter is waiving my adoption fee for any approved applicant. Please stop by the shelter during open hours to visit with me! Meet Lil Bit! She's a year and a half old and has lots of puppy energy. She loves to play fetch, tug, and play with other dogs. She also loves to cuddle with her favorite human. If you're looking for an adventurous companion, come visit Lil Bit at CCHS! She's eager to meet you and become your best friend. Lil Bit is a STAFF FAVORITE pet! Here's what adoption staff member, Sage has to say about her: What I love about Lil Bit is her sweet nature and how playful she can be! While she can be shy at first, when she is comfortable, she really is such a loving and affectionate dog. She also really enjoys any opportunity to play and to receive belly rubs. I feel like she would make a wonderful addition to a family due to her loyal, trusting, and gentle nature.
