Story
Hi, I’m Lilo, and at 20 pounds, I’m the perfect size for cuddles, adventures, and curling up on the couch. Life hasn’t been easy for me—I was abandoned with my babies in a small crate—but now I’m ready for a fresh start with a family who’ll treat me like royalty. I’m super sweet, and I get along great with dogs, cats, and kids. I’ve got so much love to give, and I’m just looking for that special someone who can show me what a real family is like. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, I’d be thrilled to be your new best friend! I can't wait to meet you!

Story
The Tenn. folks figure that I was born around the beginning of the year and took care of my sister and I, gave us our vaccines and sent us up North so that a better life would be had. I might be a little shy but must came in. My shelter mom knows that I will warm up fast to humans and am already comfortable with other canine friends. I weigh just a hair over 20# which lists me as medium. If you would like to meet me, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPLICATION on the website of www.4Paws4U4Ever.com under How To Adopt. Thank you

Meet Ember – A Spirited Little Pup with a Big Personality! Ember is a 9-week-old Rat Terrier mix who is as sweet as she is sassy, with a touch of class to top it off. She has a gorgeous red-and-white coat, the cutest ears, and speckles that will mesmerize you. About Ember: Playful and Energetic: Ember is full of life! She loves running around, tracking down scents, and playing with her doggy pals. Despite her small size, she keeps up with the big dogs, holding her own with her 15-lb Rat Terrier foster sibling and a 35-lb mix.

She enjoys chew toys and knows how to share. What Ember Loves: Being handled by her foster family, including their 9-year-old. She’s comfortable getting her nails clipped and even enjoys bath time. Munching on carrots and chasing down apple slices. Short bursts of outdoor exploration as she gets used to the weather.

Who is looking for a little puppy with a big dog name?! Clifford the Terrier mix is here and just about ready to go to his forever home! Clifford is 66 weeks old and weighs abut 3 pounds. This little fella is the smallest and cuddliest, he loves to be held. He does the cutest little hops when he's navigating around, and he patiently waits on his litter mates when they're being wild. He does well with other dogs, children, and new adult friends. We think he'd adjust just fine to cats, too! He will need a forever home with a family who is ready for a tiny puppy, and all the puppy training that comes with a young guy like Clifford. His foster family has started working with him, but he will need more help to be the best adult dog he can be! If Clifford's sweet face as you smitten, let us know by submitting an application!

Tiny Shiloh is a Terrier mix baby girl who weighs about 3 pounds. She's 6 weeks old which means she will soon be ready to go to her forever home! Shiloh is good with other dogs and we think she will do well with cats and children since she loves every human she has met! She's so young that her forever family will need to be prepared for all her puppy needs! She sleeps well in her pen with her siblings, and she's starting to learn to do her business outside. She will need to continue working on these things as she grows! Don't be fooled by her size, Shiloh is a little spitfire. She loves attention, loves to play with toys, and loves to be around her humans. Her typical day involves eating, playing, sleeping, pooping, andddd repeat! She is hoping her future family is ready for a tiny puppy and the puppy antics that come with it! She'll be a wonderful source of companionship and entertainment for her lucky adopter, so let us know if you thin she's YOUR puppy! Shiloh's adoption fee is $650

CHARACTERISTICS Friendly, Affectionate, Gentle, Loyal, Playful, Smart, Funny, Loves kisses HOUSE-TRAINED Yes HEALTH Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered. PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT Other dogs. Meet Mustang (Partial SPONSORSHIP)! Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile! Mustang can be a bit shy at first. Once she gets to know you get ready for snuggles, belly rubs and lots of love. You can get to know her by tossing treats away from you, then allowing her to come to you for more treats. She also has been working on "sit" so give that a try too! She is fully potty trained. Oh and she wants us to make sure to include that she loves belly rubs-have we mentioned that yet? If a night of snack, snuggling and sitcoms is your thing - we may be a perfect match! Our love bug's adoption fee is $300 which includes being fully vetted, spayed, microchipped and fecal exam. Mustang is 5 years old and petite weighing 33lbs (fully grown). All we can say is Mustang is a ray of sunshine 24/7! Her birthday is 1/14/19. Note: All dogs require a $100 training deposit. Once confirmation of the completion of a training class has been sent to the rescue, you will receive your deposit back in full. As we are a rescue all of our adult dogs/puppies for adoption must be spayed or neutered. Although we make every attempt to have this done before finding their adoptive families, this is not always possible. Please speak with your adoption coordinator to see of this service has already been performed or they will explain to you if your new dog/puppy will need this service while in your care at no cost to you. When emailing please include your phone number to help speed up the adoption process. Also, for the safety of our dogs we only adopt within a 2 hour radius of Joliet, Illinois, to allow our volunteers to do home checks if necessary.
