Story
Huey is an extremely handsome pit bull/lab mix. He was found in a hoarding situation with 26 other animals. He came to the shelter extremely thin and scared. He was so shy and shut down that he wouldn't come out of his run for months. He needs love, patience, and a quiet home that will allow him to slowly build trust. He was pretty broken when he came to us and it took him a long time to come out of his shell. He is scared of new people and new situations so he needs someone that will take their time getting to know him, and give him the space he needs to get comfortable and build trust. He is so loving once he trusts you! If you think you have the love and patience Huey needs to be a happy pup, email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com.

Teela is a Tennessee girl at heart! She was found running loose in bad shape down south in the land of the Smoky Mountains. She is a wild child who loves to run and must have a fenced-in yard to stretch her legs. She will stick to you like velcro so having a cozy couch is a must. She loves car rides, and will literally do anything for a treat. This has made training her a breeze! Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com is you're interested in meeting her!

*Courtesy Post* There's just something about Merry! Happy. Playful. Loving. Merry came into rescue pregnant back in December (hence her festive name!). All her puppies were adopted, but momma is still looking for her forever home. She loves to play fetch. She'll even entertain herself if she has a ball! She loves to run so a fenced in yard is preferred. She is ok with other dogs as long as rules are in place. Could you be a match for Merry? Please contact Stephanie at 847-417-7304 if you are interested in Merry.

Story
We pulled Levi from Animal Control because he had a horrible case of mange that left his skin scabbed, cracked, irritated, and itchy. Animal Control is no place for a dog that felt as miserable as Levi did. He earned his name because his mangey blue-brindle coat reminded me of a pair of dirty jeans. Levi was so great for his baths....he sat patiently while Heidi soaked and softened his thick, scaly skin until the scabs finally came off. Now that the mange is gone, his fur is slowly but surely growing back in. And he is feeling great!!! He loves playing off leash in the barn with his favorite Chuck-it ball, and enjoys going for walks on sunny days. He's going to make a great companion for someone looking for a large, cuddly dog. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Levi would be a good match for you.

Story
I recused her after she was thrown out of a car with a rope around her neck. She has become famous on social media and the news. I recently got a full time job and now and not home with her all day and she is crated. She has started acting out from being crated all day. I have 2 kids so I am unable to give her the time she needs she when I get home from work. She’s very loving and playful. She is reactive and protective but NOT aggressive. I don’t know how she is with other dogs. She’s fully trained and understands commands.

Meet Cool Hand Luke! Dog Friendly Kid Friendly Possibly Cat Friendly  Playful / Very Affectionate Personality  Cool Hand Luke is a sweet and loving boy looking for his forever home! At just 7 months old, this charming pup has already mastered the art of being an affectionate companion. He gets along wonderfully with everyone—kids, dogs, and possibly even cats! While he has been around cats and showed no reaction, we recommend a little more testing to ensure a perfect match for our feline friends. Luke was sadly surrendered by his family through no fault of his own; a family member developed severe allergies, and they could no longer keep him. But don’t worry—he's ready to steal your heart! This playful pup loves to run and romp around with his foster siblings, making every day an adventure. And when playtime is over, he's an expert snuggler who can't resist giving hugs and kisses. He’s currently working on mastering leash and house training, and his intelligence shines through as he learns new commands. With zero aggression and a loving nature, Luke is destined to be a fantastic family member. He’s also getting used to car rides, making him the perfect companion for all your outings!   If you're looking for a loyal friend who will fill your life with love, joy, and plenty of snuggles, Cool Hand Luke is your guy! Come meet him today and see why he’s the perfect addition to your family! Fill out an adoption application to schedule your own private meet and greet with this furry friend.

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!

Story
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.
