Story
Mikayla (Kayla) had a rough start to life. She was found as a stray in bitter cold January 2024 by the police. She was then taken to a county dog shelter. She was there five months before I noticed her on their website at which time I adopted her. She is super cute! Mikayla loves to have fun and is full of energy. After all... she is a puppy! We think Mikayla is 9 months to a year but can't be certain. * She needs complete training. * A fenced yard is best so she can run and chase squirrels... never catching them, though. * Mikayla is strong, intelligent, full of love, and loyal. * She has feelings and is emotionally intelligent. * Mikayla has a very cute face with "flying nun" ears :). * Because she lived in a cage for five months, I am personally not a fan of crating her... ever. * She loves to eat and drinks a lot of water. * She is my good friend.

Story
Hi my name is Bingo! I’m a happy, healthy and playful little pup. I was born on 2/13/24. My mom came to New Start Dog Rescue when me and my siblings were still in her tummy. So we were born in a foster home and have been well taken care of since birth. I currently weigh 15 lbs. Not sure who my dad was but my mom is 35 lbs. and is a Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix. I’ll probably get to be more than that cause I’m a chunky baby right now! The rescue sent out a DNA test on me and my siblings, turns out we’re part Australian Cattle Dog, American Pit Bull Terrier, American English Coonhound, Miniature Pinscher, and Supermutt! Talk about a great mix! Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Puppies are being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet them will be set up for approved adopters only. The adoption fee is $300 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. The puppies are neutered/spayed and microchipped. Please visit our website and fill out an application if you are interested at http://newstartdogrescue.org
