Story

Hi, I’m Flower. I am a not quite 1 yr old, 40 lb pittie mix girl full of love and life. I am so happy to be out of the shelter and in my foster home where I can run around in the backyard and play with the other dogs. I am completely potty trained so you don’t have to worry about teaching me that. The only thing you should worry about is me stealing your heart! I love laying and playing outside in the yard whether that be with my tennis ball, other dogs, or sunbathing. My foster mom says I run like a deer when I am excited! If you are looking for a couch potato, that works too! I would love to cuddle and watch tv (yes i mean watch tv). I am great with cats. I would do best in a home older kids (10+) just because I get excited a lot. I can’t wait to meet my future family and have a place I can call home. My ideal home is a family that works from home and wants to take me on all of their adventures because people are my favorite thing ever!

Story

Hi, my name is Nellie. I came up from Kentucky to Illinois for the Christmas holiday and since I have been here I have been enjoying my new comfy life and all my new toys. I have not met a toy that I haven’t liked, but I tend to like the ones that my foster sister has the best . I play a strong game of tug and am learning to love fetch as I run super fast. I get a little excited at times when I am having a lot of fun playing so I need a house that has older kids.As much as I play I love naps and I sleep through the night with my foster mom but they say I snore really LOUD. I love love ,kisses and hugs from everyone . I am a little over a year old and weigh 45 pounds. I am potty trained with timing and crate trained. I enjoy my morning and evening walks . I don’t like getting into a car cause that is still really new to me but I love riding and looking out the windows the entire drive after I get in. . If my water bowl is empty I will bring it to you to show you. I get along with my foster sister and visiting dogs but I am not a submissive girl so introductions would need to be done with monitoring. I seem to like boys dogs better than girls but I am super social when I’m out in public and have to meet and greet every person and dog I see. In the short time that I’ve been here. I’ve learned to sit and lay down so they say I’m super smart . If you wanna lay on the couch, I definitely can be your cuddly blanket, if you can get past my snoring . I take all my treats super gentle and enjoy my food . I am inquisitive and eager to learn. I am athletic girl who will want to exercise a lot as I am young and silly .

She is a big fan of our fenced outdoor pens where she can run and play with toys. Speaking of toys, Marlo LOVES balls: tennis balls, basketball-sized balls, giant indestruct-a-balls. You name it, she's playing soccer with it. She does need some training with play time as she can get too excited when you go to grab the toy and will try to grab it at the same time as you. She will gently jump up onto you for love and to give kisses, too. Sometimes she'll even climb onto your lap to snuggle. Marlo needs an active and strong leader who can help her be her best! She is looking for a home without cats or young kids. She is dog-selective, but dog meets are welcome. She seems to do best with more submissive, easy-going dogs. Are you looking for an active dog with lots of love to give? Marlo would love to come home with you!

Story

Meet Otis, our big sweet 5-year-old pittie mix! He weighs in at around 95lbs. Otis was originally adopted out from us as a puppy but sadly returned for no fault of his own - owners moving away and can't take him with, and the other dog in their home was not the biggest fan of Otis. Despite this, he's a happy guy who loves attention and treats. He is always greeting us with his tail wagging! Otis seems to love every person he meets. He is a bit anxious around some other dogs. He seems to be most comfortable with dogs who are more reserved like he is.Otis has some mobility issues in his back legs that cause him to limp. Our vet examined him and believes these issues are due to previous leg injuries that were not treated and healed poorly. He has been started on carprofen and gabapentin to help with the pain associated with this, and he will likely need to remain on these meds long-term. Otis had a large benign lipoma removed from near the base of his tail. Due to the size of the lipoma, most of Otis' tail had to be removed with it. He has healed wonderfully from the surgery and is a super happy boy!Otis is an incredibly sweet young dog, and we are certain he will bring so much love to his adopters. Help us get this gentle giant back in a home again!
