Story
Meet Penny! 3 years 41 lbs Penny’s journey is nothing short of incredible. Rescued from a heartbreaking situation—starving and tied up under a bridge in Tennessee—this resilient 3-year-old, 41-pound sweetheart has been thriving in her Illinois foster home. Now, she’s ready to find her forever family and fill their lives with love and joy. Penny has never met a stranger and adores everyone she meets. She’s the ultimate cuddle buddy, always ready to snuggle up and soak in all the affection she can get. She loves the company of other dogs and would do well in a home with another young, playful pup. Currently, Penny shares her foster home with three dogs, including a strong-willed alpha female, and gets along beautifully with them all. Fully potty trained and with excellent house manners, she’s a joy to have around. Despite her rough past, Penny is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you’ll ever meet. She’s independent and well-behaved, even when her foster mom works long hours, proving herself to be both adaptable and patient. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or simply lounging on a comfy couch, Penny is ready to embrace the good life with her forever family. Penny is a total goofball, full of quirks that will keep you laughing! She’s always trying to jump on the dishwasher to “help” with cleanup and can leap around the house like a gazelle. Her silly antics and playful personality make every day with her an adventure. Penny is the total package—loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. She’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cherished and loved as much as she deserves. Are you ready to welcome Penny into your heart and home?

Meet Laney! Female Estimated DOB: 9/13/24 Laney is the sweetest pup her foster family has ever had. At just four months old, this adorable boxer/pittie mix is already stealing hearts with her gentle and loving nature. She’s a little shy but full of affection, and nothing makes her happier than snuggling up for a cozy nap on your lap. Laney is making great progress with potty training, having fewer and fewer accidents. She’s learning to give cues when she needs to go outside and is on a good routine of outdoor time, meals, play, and naps. Crate training has been a breeze—she willingly goes into her crate and waits patiently for her treat. She sleeps through the night without any accidents. Laney has a calm demeanor but enjoys playtime too! She loves romping around with her foster family’s four-year-old cattle dog and her littermate. She’s wonderful with kids, gentle and snuggly, making her a perfect companion for a family. When it comes to cats, she’s curious but respectful, though her feline housemate prefers to keep some distance. This little girl rarely barks and is an absolute joy to have around. She adores toys, especially bones and antlers, and will do just about anything for a bacon-flavored treat! Laney is still learning how to walk on a leash but is improving every day. She’s already mastered sitting before meals and is working on her potty training and basic commands. Laney is ready to bring her sweet, loving personality into a forever home that will continue to help her grow and thrive. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and playful pup, Laney could be the perfect fit! Adopters will be provided a voucher to cover the cost of her spay when age appropriate.

Story
Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I'm about 1 1/2 years old. I'm a really pretty young girl. If you have seen my pictures my coat is a reversed brindle. I had DNA test, and it summed up I am a Pittie but mixture of many other dog breeds. What does that mean? I'm your All-American Mutt but I'm a smart All-American Mutt. I weigh 55#s. It's been almost a year since I've been in my foster home, and I've seen so many of my foster friends come in and find their forever families. In some ways, I am happy for them. They get those magic words "forever home" and I wonder when it's going to be my turn. When I lay on the couch with my foster Mom, she tells me "Vanessa, there is a family out there for you - you just wait." I look at her adoringly and I believe her. I trust my foster Mom so much. She's taught me so much in my year with her. She taught me how to SIT, COME, WAIT, walk on leash and no jump. The last one is work in progress. I've met so many new people and new dogs that my circle of friends gets bigger and bigger. She calls it socialization and manners. She tells new people I have to learn manners where I don't bark or jump when I meet new people. I get so excited when I meet new people, but I do calm down. It takes me about 2 minutes to calm down. You scratch my butt I'll be your BF in no time. When all my foster friends were finding their forever homes my foster Mom said V (that's her nickname for me) we need to expand your social circle - let's go to doggie daycare. Can you believe a rescue dog like me went from being a stray, living in a ditch to being the life of the party at doggie daycare? Well, believe it because that's me! I love when I go to doggie daycare. The staff knows when I come - butt scratches! I get to play all day with about 10 new friends and when I come home, I snore all night. In my foster home there are small and other dogs my size and I'm good with all of them. There was once a little dog that was so crabby that I was actually scared of him. I stayed away but I eventually made friends with him. Even with his crabbiness he got a home, so I know with my cheerful demeanor there is a home for me. There's also cats here in my foster home. Some are the resident cats and some are foster cats. Pitties are known to not be the greatest with cats and I can attest to that. I am not mean to them at all, but I will chase them. The cats here are all dog savvy. In the one year I have lived in the same home with numerous cats and dogs I can say I can live with other cats. It's the Human that has to make it work. Know what my foster Mom's trick is? Baby gates and teaching me "Vanessa, off." At nighttime I sleep in my crate. If there are no cats in the home I won't need one. I don't get into anything. I'm past the chewing stage. I do like sleeping on the couch, but I also like my crate. I know the command "go kennel" and I give you a bark (btw my bark is loud) when I got to do my business. There is also a bell by the door that I hit with my nose to tell you I gotta go out. So, about my barking? I have to tell you a story. One day, there was a bad storm, the nice neighbors tree fell down. All the electrical wires came out and there was all these booming noises and popping sounds. (transformers). Nobody got hurt but ComEd was in our backyard in the middle of the night. I did not like that! I had to tell my foster Mom, and I barked & barked. I woke her up to alert her to the booming/popping noise and this strange person in her yard. I might not make a good watch dog (I'd give too many kisses), but I did a great job in alerting my people who I love so much. I hope one day I have a family of my own. I hope maybe they will have another dog I can play with and maybe teach me manners so I can master the NO JUMP. I would love to continue with my new family on my daily walks and I would be so lucky if my new home has a fenced yard, and I have a young boy/girl that can play ball or frisbee with me. I do that now. I chase it but I get distracted & don't bring it back. I'll learn one day because I'm so smart. I know there are so many Pitties like me needing homes, and we all are so special. We just need the chance for someone to read our profiles - so I thank you for reading my profile. I hope I get the chance to meet you so I can win you over and you can fall in love with me. Love, Vanessa Vanessa is located in our foster home in Aurora.

Story
We rescued Petey in Sept. 2021 from a shelter located in Arkansas. Petey is approximately 5.5 years old. He is such a great boy who will make a family very happy. Petey is a lover and a cuddler. He will become your best friend and shadow. Petey currently does live with an older cat and they get along fine. We worked with a trainer in early 2022 who determined Petey is socially great with adults but not with kids. Petey tends to get very anxious and nervous when around children. We have also had an incident with Petey and a child which is the unfortunate reason we have come to this devastating decision to have to rehome Petey. We love Petey very much but with planning to have more children, it's too much of a risk to keep Petey. This is a very hard decision for us and we are determined to make sure we find the right home for Petey because he deserves it. Petey would be great in a home with just adults, no children. Petey is such a great boy who deserves a loving home.
