Story
Meet Violet! Violet got to spend time with her friends at Greystone Veterinary Hospital + Urgent Care on Monday to get her shots updated! And she's filled her schedule later this week to go see her friends at Camp Bow Wow Strongsville to see if she'll do well in daycare! Violet is so sweet and pretty, yet she's had virtually zero interest because she's a pittie. Violet came to TRI on March 10th LAST YEAR! Wouldn't it be amazing if she could find her forever home so she doesn't hit the 1 year mark? Violet is the perfect age at about 3 years old! She is potty trained and does great with the other dog in her foster home. Violet is social and attends a lot of TRI events. She has a gorgeous brindle with white accented coat. Oh, and she's the perfect size at 60 lbs to cuddle! If you're interest in Violet, email us at therescueinn@gmail.com or complete an adoption application here: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html

Story
London is now going for walks and getting right in my lap for attention and snuggles. He is afraid of cars but once in the park he is good. He is a little weary of strangers getting too close but he is not afraid of other dogs. He only backs away a little for people. He is getting better with the cars every day he likes to sit and watch them pass as opposed to running for his life. I have been working on a bit of cooperative care and I can hold his paws, check his ears and teeth. He is afraid of tools. He goes in a corner for brushing but tolerates it fine. He still loves playing with the other dogs and is not very sound sensitive anymore. He is doing so well and now that he knows the driveway is not the scariest thing in the world he loves the walks. London is pretty amazing. In less than two weeks he has gone from barely getting out of his crate with humans present to soliciting scratchies. He plays with Miss Blueberry, our Aussie pup for hours every day. ​He is for sure going to become a cuddle bug. He also loves to follow us humans around and watch what we are doing. He is still skittish about new things but is adjusting very well and very quickly with the help of his foster sister. He is still scared to go outside though. ​ Please reach out for more info and watch for updates as he develops in his foster home. Please visit London and his friends on our web page. https://www.midwestbordercollierescue.org/alldogs ​ ​Location: Northern Illinois Contact: team@midwestbordercollierescue.org

Story
Meet Harper! Harper is a 2 year old Great Dane who joined us in early January. Harper's ideal weight is around 110 pounds. Harper's foster father runs a doggie daycare and Harper gets to play with dogs every day! Harper's ideal home has breed experience. Harper would do best with larger dogs. Harper loves to run around and play, so we are looking for a home that has a secure fenced-in yard. If Harper may be the dog for you, email us at therescueinn@gmail.com. Or better yet, complete an adoption application here: therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html

Story
Meet Gracie! 💋 Gracie is a petite little boxer mix girl who is ready to find her forever family! Gracie came to TRI from the Cleveland Kennel where she was a stray and nothing but skin and bones. She is around 3-4 years old but acts very much like a younger lass! Gracie has put on weight already and is about 25-30 lbs. Since she's an adult, Gracie will stay this pocket size! Gracie LOVES to cuddle! In fact, she's seeking a family that will dole out ALL the hugs and kisses 💋 ! Gracie is in a foster home with other dogs right now, but since she hasn't had a lot of training in her life we think she'd be best as the solo canine companion. Gracie loves to play with dog toys and chew her bones. She'd be good with older children too. If you'd like more information on Gracie, email us at therescueinn@gmail.com or complete an adoption application here: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html

Story
Ari is a 5-year-old German Shepherd girl who’s incredibly loving, loyal, playful, and very smart. She’s fully obedience trained, potty trained, leash trained, and great with kids, babies, seniors, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I rescued her when she was almost 1, after a rough start in life. Because of her early neglect, she developed anxiety and takes daily medication to help her stay calm. Despite that, she’s full of love and energy. Ari is obsessed with water and would be happiest with someone who can take her on outdoor adventures—walks, park runs, forest hikes, and swimming in lakes. She needs an experienced owner who understands the breed, can give her time, structure, and continue to stimulate her smart, active mind.
