Story
Beauty is a graceful senior Akita mix with a heart as golden as her years. At first, she might seem a little reserved, but give her time, and you'll find a fiercely loyal friend who will dance with joy just for you. Yes, you read that right-Beauty loves to show off her signature happy dance for her favorite people! This serene sweetheart enjoys the simple pleasures in life: slow, thoughtful strolls through the woods where she can take in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature, and curling up in her very own comfy bed where she can relax after her adventures. The shelter environment isn't where Beauty feels her best-she dreams of a calm, loving home where she can truly unwind and be herself. If you're patient, kind, and looking for a quiet companion who will reward your love with unwavering loyalty, Beauty could be your perfect match. Are you ready to give Beauty the forever home she's been longing for? She's ready to meet you and dance her way into your heart.

Story
Finnegan is a smart energetic dog looking for a family ready to continue his training.  As an Akita/German Shepherd mix, Finnegan is a working dog with a strong protective drive. He loves to be outside, playing and roughhousing with his canine friends.  Finnegan is looking for an active home where he can direct his energy toward mental and physical activities and exercise. He gets along well with both dogs and cats in his foster home, and would likely do well with older children.  If you have experience with working breeds like Akitas and are ready to guide Finnegan through consistent obedience training, he is ready to be a devoted pet who will love and protect you! Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##1985399##

Story
I wanted to share a heartwarming story about a gentle giant named Shogun. He has completely captured our hearts with his calm and loving demeanor. Despite his imposing size, Shogun is as gentle as a lamb. He loves nothing more than a good belly rub and a gentle pat on his head. His soft fur and warm gaze make him an irresistible companion. One of the most endearing qualities of Shogun is his patience. He tolerates our playful children with grace and understanding, often patiently waiting for his turn to join in the fun. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful, gentle companion in my life. I hope you will have the chance to meet Shogun someday. You will be amazed at how gentle and loving he truly is. He is 11 years old. I'm looking for someone who can stay home with him all day.

Story
Hi! My name is Molly! I`m an Akita mix but think like a teddy bear. I came to the shelter as a stray with my friend Hershey. I came in first and didn`t do well by myself. I was sad and confused not knowing why Hershey didn`t come with. It didn`t take long though. Hershey likes to run and got away from our owner again. I was excited to see him and was back to my bouncing self. We need to go home to our new home together!Ask about us today!
