Story
Dahlia is a very sweet sweet pup that the whole family adores. Everyone in the family except my 13-year-old toy poodle. We were hoping when we took her in that he would lead her and she quickly has overpowered him in strength and likes to play. She is an energetic pup that likes to tug and pull and our poodle is just too old to play or fight her off. Dahlia was born Jan 5 2024 with a trusted friend who took in a stray. We don’t know her breed but she has short hair, doesn’t shed much at all, and has a beautiful shiny black and white coat. She has floppy short ears and is about 30 pounds. She’s a very healthy girl who likes to run and play and also like to snuggle and give kisses. Great with toddlers and big kids however she likes to jump. She has had typical interactions with other dogs in town. We have not seen her around cats. Dahlia’s perfect family is one with kids and other dogs her size or bigger. Big yard is a big plus. She doesn’t like the leash but tolerates it.

Story
Archie was an unclaimed stray saved from our local pound. He is fun and goofy...LOVES to play with his ball and (in warm weather) splash in his baby pool. He's good in the house and not destructive - but he has a serious mistrust of strangers. He will warm up to them after a session of ball throwing - but would need to be heavily managed at first. He'd be a great companion and protector for a woman. For more information - call or text 217-473-9044; or email scottcountydogrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Sarge is an awesome boy...well mannered and well socialized. NO CATS! Best with older kids as he sometimes gets so excited - he could knock a little one over accidentally (but then rushes to lick furiously to apologize). For consideration - request an application at scottcountydogrescue@gmail.com

She has allergies can not be fed anything other than Redford lamb. You have to wash her with a certain soap she loves snuggles and blankets! She has bad allergies as said so she is given Benadryl As needed . She’s loves outside but not when it’s cold! She will go straight out potty and come inside. She will wonder off if not watched but listens she has a schedule she’s fed about 7am and 630! She will come with all her belongings!

Meet Mattie. Mattie is very full of energy and LOVES to play fetch. She comes from a family with small children, and does very well with them. We are looking to rehome her because our much older lab does not get along with Mattie.
