Story
Thanks to the kindness of an anonymous donor, Upton`s adoption fee has been sponsored. He is one step closer to finding his forever home! We are so grateful for this anonymous donor, and are hopeful Upton finds his forever home very soon! ????I’m a 1-year-old, 67-pound German Shepherd mix bursting with energy and excitement. Whether I’m playing ball, catching toys, or splashing around in water, I’m always up for fun and adventure. I absolutely love playing in water—it’s one of my favorite ways to cool off and have a blast! Treats are another big favorite of mine, especially chicken-flavored ones. I’m also great at finding treats hidden in the grass, adding a little extra excitement to playtime. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring all the interesting smells in the play yard.If you’re looking for a playful, water-loving companion with endless energy and a joyful spirit, I’m the perfect match. Let’s create some unforgettable memories together!We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Hello there, I`m Pops! I am a 10 month old, 62#, shepherd/husky mix! I`ve got a heart full of sweetness and a spirit that`s playful as a pup. I love exploring and satisfying my curiosity, but I`m also brave enough to protect my loved ones. I`m a loyal companion, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting presence. I`m gentle with everyone I meet, but I`m also quite the comedian, always ready to make you laugh. I`m pretty smart too, quickly picking up new tricks and commands. Now, why should you adopt me? Well, I believe that every home needs a loyal friend, a brave protector, a gentle soul, a funny comedian, and a smart companion. And guess what? I`m all that in one furry package! I promise to fill your life with joy, laughter, and lots of love. So, what do you say? Will you be my forever friend?

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hello! This is rocky. He is an approximately 5-6 year old German Shepard pure bred dog. He was trained as a PTSD service animal. He has lost a lot of the training, but we believe could be easily retrained. I believe he is still able to wake people from nightmares and pees and poops almost on command. He is truly the nicest and goofiest dog I know, and is a pure ray of light to be around. Unfortunately my relative that owns him can’t take care of him anymore, and since the pound is full, has resorted to euthanizing him on the 18 of December. If you could promise to take him within a week, I could probably get the euthanasia date postponed. I love this dog so much and cannot see him die. If you can give him a good home, even for a little, PLEASE MESSAGE ME! Thank you so much!!

Story
Nova is a sweet girl who is 2 years old. She joined our pack after a family member moved and would no longer have the space for such an active breed. Unfortunately she does not get along great with one of her new brothers, but is best friends with the other two. She would probably do best in a single dog home. Nova loves to follow her humans around and play fetch, is great at listening to commands, has great recall, and is house trained. She is eager to learn and loves attention. She needs someone who has time to spend with her. She is used to getting about 4 walks a day and space to run. She needs a home with a yard to run and play.

Story
Ivy is 1yr 7mo old, I've had her since she was a puppy at 10 weeks old. She gets along with most other dogs, however she has had issues with 2 different dogs in the past. She does like cats, she wants to play with them so bad but she looks like she's going to hurt them with the way she chases them. I have videos of her interacting with other dogs and cats as well. Definitely a tall fenced in yard, if she learned how to use her limbs she could jump over a chain-link fence. She loves women, but she'll bark at men at first until she warms up. Needs the strongest toys possible, anything with stuffing she'll tear up in like 10 minutes.

Story
I pulled Sunny (renamed Rambo by his foster) back in March from a high kill shelter in SoCal. He was with me for a short time before a seasoned mal owner offered to foster him. He’s done remarkably well, except in one area - he does not seem to like small children. His foster is expecting her second baby very soon and cannot risk Rambo snapping at the kids. Info on Sunny/Rambo: 2 yo neutered male UTD on shots Good with older kids Great in the car (he rode shotgun with me from CA to IN) Housebroken and crate trained Has not been cat tested or small dog tested (high prey drive - do not recommend placing with animals under 30lb.) Very intelligent and willing to learn Currently located in Illinois. Transport can be arranged. *** If a suitable adopter isn’t found, I will be taking Rambo back to foster until I can find him the perfect home. ***
