Spayed or Neutered,

Story

"Hi! My name is Blue. I'm a mature lady at 10 years old, but I still have lots of energy for long walks in the park and I love a good tug-of-war with my humans and my favorite toys. I also very much enjoy long naps cuddled next to my humans, especially on rainy days. I walk best with a prong collar as I like to take my time to sniff all the outdoor smells. I've been working with a trainer to be more focused on my foster mom than outside influences like squirrels, bikes and other dogs. I've mastered the squirrels and bikes....still working on the other dogs. I enjoy the run/walks I've been doing with my foster mom to keep my girlish figure. :) I am thriving in my foster home. My foster mom can confirm I am crate trained, housebroken, and take treats nicely! I LOVE pillows and soft blankets. I even have my own pillow in my dog bed. I know sit, stay and paw and I'm a good listened when told other commands. I really am a well- behaved girl. I don't like to be away from my humans so I won't run away or let you go very far but I don't have any separation anxiety. My people can leave the house and I won't chew anything up or scratch things. I just chill when they're away and I'm happy when they return. I would love to have a backyard so I can lay outside in the warm sun, nap and listen to the birds. I am selective with other dogs so I prefer to be the only dog in my forever home. No one is sure what happened in my past, but I do get excited around other dogs. I would like to keep thriving in my forever home with my new humans. My foster mom thinks I'm a "pick me girl so I'm asking you to "CHOOSE ME.....PICK ME....LOVE ME (for fellow Grey's fans). If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application to meet me! Cuddles and kisses Blue (aka Chunky Monkey)"

Story

Reina is a sweet older gal that has been patiently waiting for her perfect match, and we just know her special someone is out there! One of Reina's favorite things to do is go for leisurely walks, and when it’s time for a break, she’s more than happy to join you on the bench—sometimes even sneaking in a few gentle kisses to show her appreciation. She’s great at making dog friends in playgroup, but she prefers the company of gentler, easy-going dogs just like herself. However, she’s not a fan of cats, so she’ll need a feline-free home. Right now, Reina is looking for a foster to help her transition from shelter life to home life and assist in managing her allergies. She’s such a loving soul who deserves a cozy spot to call her own and a family to cherish her golden years. Could you be the one to give Reain the love and care she’s been waiting for?

Mel

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 10 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Mel is looking for her perfect match: a loving home where she can be the only pet and truly shine. Though she's currently timid of other animals, including cats, any reactions she has are driven purely by fear rather than aggression. Mel is making strides toward overcoming her fears, and she's even had multiple playful interactions with another dog after some careful introductions, showing that deep down, she wants to connect. Her journey to feel comfortable around other pets will need continued patience, with a dedicated handler who can guide her through her fears alongside a professional trainer. A younger adopter with a gentle approach could be ideal to help her blossom. Mel is a huge cuddle bug and likes to stick near her person. Couch time is a fan favorite in her foster home, and she is always making her foster laugh with her silly antics (like sitting like a human or rolling up as tight as a cinnamon roll). Mel would excel in dog sports-she's got the athleticism and drive to dominate any field! If sports aren't your thing, she'd also thrive in a semi-active home. While she's content to lounge on the couch all day, she needs regular exercise like any other dog, such as a 1-2 mile walk or a vigorous play session. Her favorite activity? The flirt pole-it's the highlight of her day, and she can't get enough! Are you ready to help Mel unlock her full potential?

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I've had the pleasure of fostering Jackie for about a month now. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. I had originally met her a few weeks earlier when I was fostering another dog and brought them in to meet a potential adopter. She had just come back from a dog day out and was super shy but I got her to come up to me and say hi and she gave me a hug and I said I would be fostering her next if she was still available. It took her a few days to start warming up to me and to take in her new environment but over time she's gotten more comfortable going outside and walking around in the yard. She has heartworm so I haven't really taken her on long walks or played with her much but you can tell once she's feeling better she's going to be a lot of fun. For now she gets lots of rest on the couch or in bed. She has no problem making herself at home once she's comfortable with you and her environment. She's full of love and will cuddle with you all day. She loves belly rubs. She knows her name and is very treat motivated. We taught her how to walk up and down stairs because that was new for her and she will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She gets lots of compliments on how cute she is and does well around strangers and other dogs even if they are barking at her. I can't wait for her to find her forever home and I know whoever that ends up being is going to love her as much as I do."

Fruit Loops

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 3 mos

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

A note from Fruit Loops foster mom: "This little girl is the happiest dog I’ve ever seen. She wakes up every day thrilled to see what the day will bring. She loves being outside and playing with other dogs. She spent a good part of her young life in crate due to a leg injury, so she seems to making up for lost time. She is super smart as well. It only took me about 10 minutes to teach her ‘sit’ before a treat or a meal. She does not like walks in my neighborhood yet - the cars scare her, so that needs a little work. She is very good in the house. She will whine to let you know she has to go out and she only chews on her bones or toys. She gives lots of kisses and likes to cuddle with her foster dog sisters when napping or sleeping. Her foster cat sister doesn’t like as much attention but there’s no fighting. LuLu would be great in a house with other dogs around her size. She’s very energetic and needs a playmate; she’d also be good with older kids, she might be a bit too much for toddlers."
