Mel

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 7 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?

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."

Story

Fun Facts About James! - He is house trained and crate trained. - He's a lower energy dog who would love to live a quiet life in the suburbs somewhere. - James LOVES to give hugs to his humans. - He is great at matching energy. If you want to spend the day on the couch or need to get some work done from home he is a really chill guy. If you want to play or run around the backyard he is happy to do that with you. - He is a home body. James does NOT want to be an adventure dog. He's had enough excitement bouncing through a couple different shelters in his first year of life. You don't need to feel badly about not wanting to go for a walk or not wanting to take him to brunch with you. He doesn't really want to go either. - He would love to have another dog and a backyard. He has been good with both small and large dogs. He REALLY wants to be our cat's friend, but they do not want to be his so how he would be truly living with cats is still TBD. - You will never have to wonder where James is as he will happily follow you from room to room. Want to close the bathroom door? Don't worry James will be waiting when you get out. - James' biggest fear is large wooden spoons. If you are using one to stir he will excuse himself from the kitchen. - James is not a big barker in the house, he maybe barks at passers by and delivery drivers 10% of the time. - Having a party and don't want the dog to eat the horderves? James would prefer not to be part of the party anyway and will happily hang out in the other room with a kong. - James is an INCREDIBLY easy dog to have in the home, he loves his humans, but is an introvert.While he will completely accept new people coming into your home do not expect him to be the dog that is going to be sitting in their laps within 10 minutes of meeting them.

Story

Queen Whitney is here to take over your couch and your heart! Whitney is queen of many things: zoomies, the yard, her royal subjects (her fan club), and her wubba kong toys. The though she has a band of followers, she hasn't found her own throne to sit upon! Could that be your couch? Will you join her royal family? Whitney hasn't wasted her time at the shelter or in her foster home. She's been working on many of the things a royal pup should know. She is an expert cuddler, knows lots of fun tricks, and has been working on her walking etiquette. She prefers that her subjects greet her with a game of fetch or "touch" instead of a bow. Whitney comes with her own courtier (trainer) to assist her as she settles into her new kingdom. Kirsten, from Wise Dogs Training, has been working with Whitney while she has been in foster to help her prepare to be a queen. Whitney's court is also prepared to support her transition to a new home and is always happy to chat about how wonderful of a ruler she is! Ask to meet Queen Whitney and we will happily arrange a meeting with Her Grace!

Abby is a trooper. This little girl has been through so much in the last year. She had struggled so much when she was in the shelter (if you are part of our social media community, you may recognize her) and we were all so excited for her when she was adopted last Christmas. Unfortunately, her amazing adopter did not know that he was sick at the time and recently passed away. Abby has been grieving the loss of her best friend, but has landed in a loving foster home. We are getting to know who Abby is all over again, and she is showing just how sweet we knew she was. Abby is looking for a low-key home who will remind her just how special she is every day.

One of Shanny's favorite activities is going on a nice walk, where she can stretch her legs, explore new scents, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. But her true joy lies in the moments that follow, as she curls up next to you on the couch while you watch your favorite TV show. Her peaceful presence by your side is a reminder of the tranquility that can be found in the company of a faithful friend. Shanny's age, at 7 years old, is often a reason why she is passed by, and it's a question that bewilders those who have come to know her. To Shanny, 7 years is a golden age, filled with countless opportunities for new adventures and stories to tell. She may not be a playful puppy, but she brings a wealth of wisdom and a heart filled with a lifetime of love to share.

Shanny is living proof that adopting an older dog is a decision filled with rewards and countless moments of joy. So, if you're considering bringing a new companion into your life, please take a moment to consider Shanny. She is a fabulous girl with a heart overflowing with love and a world of experiences to share. By opening your heart and home to Shanny, you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of loyalty, love, and cherished memories. We promise you, the happiness she brings will be immeasurable, and together, you'll embark on a journey of love and companionship that will enrich both of your lives.
