With his puppy energy, Trooper will thrive in an active home where he can keep busy and out of mischief (because let’s face it, he’s still a puppy who might otherwise go on some chewing missions!). He’s had all his shots, is full of life, and ready to bring love, joy, and some adorable antics to his forever family.

Story

Meet Freya: A Brave German Shepherd Momma Ready for Her Happily Ever After Freya’s journey is nothing short of heroic. This 2-year-old German Shepherd gave birth to her babies in the shelter just six weeks ago, only to be placed on the euthanasia list along with her newborns. With time running out, a compassionate foster stepped up and rescued Freya and her pups just two hours before their deadline. Freya’s love and resilience are undeniable. Initially shy, she quickly warms up to her people and becomes your devoted shadow, eager to follow wherever you go. This 65-pound beauty is housebroken, adores treats, and has a medium energy level that makes her the perfect mix of playful and relaxed. She loves nothing more than long naps on the couch after a day of quiet companionship. Here’s why Freya will steal your heart: Potty trained and well-mannered. Friendly with dogs and teenagers (cats not yet tested). Up-to-date on vaccinations and available for adoption in three weeks once her momma duties are complete. Freya is currently in California, and it would be ideal to find her forever home there. However, for serious adopters, we can arrange for her to be brought to Naperville, IL for pick-up. Freya’s story is one of survival, love, and second chances. She’s ready to leave the hardships behind and find a forever home where she can be cherished as much as she cherishes those around her. Adopt Freya and give this sweet momma the life she truly deserves! ##2246350##

Story

Cooper was. Adopted from a county shelter a year and a half ago. We promised never to bring him back there. We tried for a year and a half to get him to get along with our other dog. He would be happier to live in a home with no other dogs He is a good listener, eager to please. Knows basic commands and will guard your property with a bark that’s louder than his little body. He is submissive to the Alpha human of the house, male or female. He’s probably been thru a lot, He will chase cars and so, needs to be on a leash at all times. We walk him at night when it’s quiet and there’s less cars. He is crate trained and his crate will go with him. It is his safe space and sanctuary. He is also a cuddle bug and will keep you warm in bed, if you allow it. Otherwise, he’s fine with sleeping in his crate. He loves toys, will do anything for a treat. He’s good at playing fetch 50% of the time. He will carry around his favorite toy like a baby. He is a good boy who needs a better home.

Sadie was born August 13, 2021. I got her from a breeder at 3 months old. Sadie is a great family dog that enjoys spending her time with the family. She loves kids and plays with other dogs. Very socially friendly. Supervision is needed with smaller dogs because of a German Shepherd’s natural prey drive. Sadie is very smart and exercise and plenty of training helps stimulate her mind. She loves treats, and is very trainable with food. I would lover her new home to be with someone that enjoys teaching/training, will maintain a rhythm for her, a loving family, fenced in backyard would be nice, kids of any age. Sadie is crate trained, knows basic commands including stay and going to bed. She loves and craves attention. Will follow you everywhere. She’s fine alone.

This is Luna! 3y/o German Shepherd Border Collie mix! She is a very energetic, goofy, and a happy doggo! Loves other dogs, cats, and kids!! Luna knows the basic commands (sit, down, paw, wait, etc.) She is also potty trained for the most part (accidents happen when no one can let her out). Currently trying to teach her to get used to a gentle lead bc she tends to pull during walks but it helps! She’s also allergic to chicken! Up to date on all vaccines except fecal and flu. Unfortunately, my dad has an allergy to her and has developed asthma. No one is home often enough either and we’ve came to the conclusion that she deserves better than we can give Ideally, I would love to rehome her to a lovely family maybe with kids and another dog! But if not that’s okay too! She would just love a big backyard so she can run around in!

MEDICAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED FOR MAGNET! Meet Magnet, a striking 2-year old Malinois who’s ready to capture your heart with his energetic spirit and boundless affection. This handsome boy is currently being fostered in Lake Zurich, IL, where he’s showing just how friendly and social he is—especially around other dogs! While his interactions with cats remain a mystery and he hasn’t been tested around kids, Magnet’s warm personality and willingness to connect make him a wonderful companion. Malinois are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and unmatched work ethic, and Magnet is no exception. He’s the epitome of the breed’s playful and lively nature, often expressing himself with that characteristic Malinois chatter. Magnet will thrive in a home that understands his need for mental and physical engagement, ideally with someone experienced in handling working breeds. It’s important to note that Magnet is heartworm positive and will require a structured treatment plan involving six months of no play, no running, and crate rest only. This period is crucial for his recovery, but with the right care and a supportive foster-to-adopt forever family, Magnet is sure to come out the other side stronger and healthier. If you’re ready to open your home to a loyal, driven, and loving Malinois who will reward your patience with unending devotion, Magnet might just be your perfect match. Come meet this magnetic boy and see for yourself how he lives up to his name! ##2223107##
