Mookie is a beautiful 9-year-old Pit Mix, weighing just under 80lbs. She was in a foster home for a couple years before being transferred to our rescue. Mookie has been at WCHS for over 2.5 years waiting for a family to take her in.Mookie is sweet and playful with the people she knows and trusts. She needs slow introductions, but once she trusts you, she is madly in love! Mookie always keeps her kennel clean and enjoys playing with squeaky plush toys and snuggling in bed. She loves to go on walks with all her volunteer friends. She thinks she's a lap dog too, and it's hard to tell that sweet face no! Mookie's favorite outdoor activities include sunbathing and taking naps in the pool. Mookie has been diagnosed with arthritis and hypothyroidism. She is on meds for both and seems to be doing well! She is working on losing some weight to help with the arthritis, too. Mookie does prefer to be the only dog in the home. She isn't a fan of cats.Mookie is a wonderful dog who is deeply loved by shelter staff and volunteers. We hope her forever family will come soon!

Shorewood, IL
Size

Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marlo is 3 years old and guessed to be a Saint Bernard/ Pit mix. This beautiful girl has been at WCHS for over 2 years. She's all muscle (weighing in around 80lbs) and goofy, loving eyes. While some might find her looks to be intimidating, this girl could not be sweeter. The shelter staff adore this girl and she gives just as much love in return.Not only is Marlo loving, she is very energetic and active. She loves walks and does great with her harness. 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 Cupcake! This gorgeous girl came to us from local animal control after a long, rough, confusing start to life. Cupcake is a typical young pup: full of energy and very curious. She is a very active and energetic dog. Cupcake is likely a pitbull/lab/shepherd mix, weighing in just over 60lbs. She is approximately 2 years old. She needs a home that will work with her through her puppy-type behavior and training. She is incredibly smart and knows how to sit and give paw for treats. She does have issues with occasionally jumping up for treats or attention but is easily redirected. Cupcake does have some fear with meeting new people, but once she gets to know you, she is an absolute love! Plus, how can you not love those huge ears! Cupcake would be best placed in a home without cats or young kids.

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!

Meet Iyla, a two year old Pittie available for adoption. Iyla originally came to JTAC as a stray. Her original owner did end up contacting us stating she saw her on the stray page and had rehomed her to someone. She told us Iyla was a great dog and previously lived with other dogs and young kids. Iyla has met dogs here as well and did great. She loves toys and could not wait to show us all the toys. She shared them with us and would drop them gently when asked. She loves treat and also takes them gently from your hand but also loves to catch them midair! We love her goofy tongue and her big, ears that have a mind of their own. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay!

Story
Meet little Lumi, an 8 1/2 month old itty bitty Pittie that was found as a stray. Lumi was quite scared when she first arrived and didn`t want to interact with staff. After a day or so, she quickly came around to one of the techs and learned that we wanted to be her friend, not foe, and she opened up. She showed us her true, silly personality and how sweet she can be. Lumi is only about thirty pounds and will happily climb onto your lap and wiggle herself in between your legs for pets. She does great with other dogs and loves her playgroup friends. Lumi does great with both big and small dogs! She just likes to wrestle hard and play rough. She would do well in a home with another dog to play with. Lumi is the perfect size, small in frame but big in personality! Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay

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!   If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size.
