House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maple is an approximately 10 month old Akita (mix?). Maple is a very sweet girl that can be shy and reserved with new people. She needs an owner committed to providing her with positive reinforcement and experiences moving forward. She is petrified of cats, and stays out of their way, so we are thinking she would be fine in a home with kitties. She has done well on pack walks with other dogs but doesn't always love them in the household when they attempt to play, etc. so she may do best without dogs or with another relaxed and confident, dog friendly dog. She seems to be house trained, crate trained, and rides well in the car. We think small children would be too much for her. Her adoption fee is $150 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations and negative heartworm test. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov for more information on starting the adoption process.

Story
WILLA Available for Foster to Adopt About Me Hi friends! I'm Willa, and I'm so excited to share my story with you! My journey started at an overcrowded shelter in Texas, where things were a bit rough for a while. I wasn't feeling my best (those pesky ticks got the better of me), but let me tell you about the amazing humans at C.A.R.E. who changed my life! Even while I was still in Texas, they were checking on me all the time, sending love and support while I got stronger. Once I was feeling better, I took the biggest adventure of my life – a road trip all the way to Chicago! Now I'm living my best life here, getting stronger every day and putting some healthy weight back on these bones. Everyone tells me my fluffy tail is absolutely adorable, and I have to agree! *wags tail*. I'm quite the star student when it comes to training, and walking is my absolute favorite activity! There's nothing better than exploring the neighborhood with my human friends. Speaking of friends – I'm what you might call a 'people person.' I love humans so much that I prefer to keep all their attention to myself, so I'm looking for a home where I can be your one and only furry family member. Want to know the best part? Despite everything I've been through, I'm still the happiest, most loving girl you'll meet! I've stolen quite a few hearts here at C.A.R.E., and I'd love to steal yours too! Come meet me and see for yourself – I promise to give you my best puppy-dog eyes! I have been spayed and microchipped and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey   Love ad Paws WillaNovember 20, 2024, 8:33 pm

Story
Hi there, my name is Maggie, and I am 7-year-old Siberian Husky. I'm quite the beauty with my all-white fur and striking ice-blue eyes! Im a nice medium size at 43lbs. My fur is all white with just a hint of tan. When I first came into my foster home I went to the doggie beauty salon, aka Groomer. My pretty coat didn't get a good brush out in a long time. I was so patient when the Groomer brushed me. She said I was the best Husky she ever had. Well of course I was! I'm the best at everything! Plus, she made me really pretty! My Owner brought me to a local shelter when they couldn't take care of me anymore. One day a Treasured Animal Rescue Volunteer was walking through all the dog kennels and stopped at my kennel. She asked the AC worker about me. I left that day because my Rescuer said no pretty dog needs to behind bars. She needs to be in a home. So even though I'm in a foster home that's ok because I'm waiting for my new family to come meet me. Now, I'm in a foster home I have dogs & cats as my friends, and I do well with them. I am interested in the cats and like to sniff them, but I never chase them. My doggie friends and I play. I'm a good role model for the younger dogs. I like to play with puppies and I can keep up with the younger pups. Yes, even at 7 years old! Im pretty good on a leash. When I go on a walk, I dont pull. If youre looking for a walking buddy, I would LOVE to take walks with you! I know some basic commands and I really enjoy the company of humans. I just want to be with my humans and get lots of petting. I like to watch TV with my foster Mom. I let her choose the channels. Doesn't matter with me what show just as long as she rubs my belly! I get really comfy on the couch and I don't sit very ladylike but hey, gals got to get comfy! I am very good with kids. I've been around kids and I like when they pet me. I love when anyone pets me. I act silly. I roll over on my back for belly rubs. I take treats very well from everyone. I SIT like a good girl and wait for my yummy treat. Sometimes, I'm picky on my treats. My foster home has a fenced yard, and some areas are 4' and 6'. I don't try to jump over the fence. Why would I even try to jump a fence when I have it so good here? But there's notes in my intake paperwork that my original owner had me on a tie out and I did escape. Can you image a Husky escaping a yard? Maybe my next home will have a fenced yard. I'm a quiet girl. The only time I make any noise is when I have to alert you, I have to go do my business. First, I will do little circles around the door or in front of you and if that doesn't catch your attention then I will do a little woo woo. That's my signal "I gotta go!". This Lady is a true Lady! More on my little circles. My foster Mom calls them my ballerina dances. When I get happy (which is a lot) I do my little circle dances. It looks like I'm doing pirouettes - like a Ballerina. But I don't have any ballerina slippers. That would be silly. But maybe with all my pirouettes I can find a spot in the Joffrey Ballet Theater. That would be funny! Once a week I go to doggie daycare so I can meet new friends. They first put me in the oldie section. How dare they!! 7 is the new young. The doggie care place realized I've got some spunk so I played with the young in's all day. I even got a new boyfriend. He's a Husky just like me but just a different color. If you're looking for a middle-aged Lady who is well past her crazy puppy stage and yet has great energy and LOTs of love to give, then look no further! Ready to pick me?!? If so, please complete an adoption application and our journey begins. Love,Maggie Maggieis located in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this Beauty, please complete an adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-dog-adoption/ Thank you for choosing to adopt! Please visit our website www.treasuredanimalrescueinc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
