Story
Suki is a 1-year-old, 60-pound bundle of love looking for her forever family! This friendly, outgoing, and confident girl has never met a stranger she doesn't love—she adores every person she meets, including the baby and young kids in her foster home. Her foster mom describes her as incredibly patient and gentle with little ones, making her a great fit for a family with children.   Suki is fantastic with her canine foster siblings and was easily introduced to the pack. She’s playful and happy but also knows how to settle down for long naps after bursts of energy. She sleeps quietly through the night and keeps her kennel clean, though she'd much rather be out and about—thankfully, she’s trustworthy when left loose in the house!   Smart and eager to please, Suki already knows sit, lay down, shake, and even stand. She’s food-motivated and picks up on training quickly. While she’s had a few transitional accidents, her foster mom believes she’ll have housetraining down in no time.   Suki loves her plushies and bones, gives the sweetest kisses, and is just an all-around wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a loving, adaptable, and loyal pup to complete your family, Suki might be the perfect match! Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

His friendly and enthusiastic personality ensures that he brings positivity and excitement wherever he goes.

After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. We're primarily a volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sundays and Mondays and will not be processing any applications on that day. Do get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart: Park in the PetSmart Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family. PCH supports a 21-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we are not able to provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!

Story
Meet Gemma, a sweet and energetic 2-year-old, 30-pound Husky mix who’s looking for a home where she can run, play, and be the happy companion she’s meant to be! Gemma is house and crate trained, and she loves to race around the house, play fetch, and go for long walks. She’s friendly, outgoing, confident, and playful, and she’s still learning to pick up on cues from other dogs, so she’d do best with those who appreciate her high-energy play style. Due to her energy, Gemma is better suited for a family with kids over 8 years old, as her playful nature might unintentionally knock over smaller children. Gemma would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can run freely and burn off some of her energy. She’s also a big fan of chewing on bones and fluffies, so she knows how to enjoy some quiet downtime after a fun-filled day! If you're looking for an active, loving, and fun-loving dog, Gemma could be your perfect match! Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
