Story
If you want the easiest dog on the planet, Gary is your man. Gary isn’t fresh out of fucks. Gary never had any fucks to give in the first place. Gary has never given one single fuck. Gary was born with a fuck inventory of precisely zero. He is so low maintenance and doesn’t take the little things for granted. Give him a comfy bed/blanket, regular meals, trees to poop on and maybe a few bones/toys to destroy and he is happy as a clam. Bonus points for a head scratch every now and then. He has a sneeze that makes him sound like a cartoon character. He never barks, unless you try to give him eye drops one too many times. He may or may not be able to hear, so you might have to physically drag a blanket he’s laying on for a couple feet before he wakes up. He walks in slow motion until he decides to turn the turbo jets on for a few feet before it’s back to moving at a glacial pace. He doesn’t require much exercise. A few trips around the block per day will suffice. Sometimes, he just wants to go out and do his business and then go right back inside, especially first thing in the morning when he is PUMPED to eat breakfast. Gary lives in busy Wicker Park and does just fine in that environment. Gary likes to poop ON trees. Not near them, on them. He is very independent and will often resort to his crate for a deep sleep, even if the rest of the family is in another room. He likes to say hi to other dogs, but gets a little too excited and has been known to attempt to hump them like the creepy old man that he is, so he’ll need to work on finding some chill. Gary could thrive in any home because he doesn’t give a shit about anything. That said, a home with older kids who understand that he can’t see or hear super well, which means he can startle easy at times, would be best. While he might take a minute to fully trust you/give a shit about you, there’s nothing better than when he sits by you and just stares at you with his crusty eyes while wagging his tail or when he chooses your foot to lay on when there are so many other perfectly comfortable options available. Speaking of which, he requires eye medication, but really doesn’t like when it’s applied and will let you know, so an adopter who is comfortable with that would be a plus. Name: Gary Age: 8ish Gender: Male Breed: Pit mix Weight: 60lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes, older Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Low Medical: will need heart and eye medication for the rest of his life Gary is currently being fostered in Chicago, Illinois.

Story
Pocket pittie alert! Gadget is available for adoption! Gadget knows basic cues, and a couple extras (touch and paw). He’s not great at ‘drop it’ with a tennis ball, unless you have another one. He goes bonkers over toys, and is a pro at destroying them in seconds. He’s great on a leash, unless he sees a squirrel, then it’s every man (and dog) for themselves. Gadget loves people. He has no stranger danger whatsoever. He can get overstimulated and jump at faces, but in the nicest way possible. He just wants to give you a kiss, that might also break your nose. I imagine this is also what it’s like to kiss an MMA fighter. But Gadget is way cuter. Because he loves people so much, I bet you’re thinking you should take him everywhere with you? Don’t. Have you heard the lambs screaming, Clarice? Gadget will ruin your day while simultaneously charming everyone in the room. Because, his face. Gadget is crate trained, but can be trusted being left out in a bedroom/extra room. He would love to share a bed with you at night, he makes a perfect donut and doesn’t move an inch, but his snoring can wake the dead, or dead inside (my husband). Gadget is fully potty trained. He can hold it for a full work day (8+ hours) with no issues. He’s medium/high energy when he’s been cooped up. Two-ball fetch for 10-15 minutes once or twice a day is great for him, or a long walk. He’ll pass out, or self entertain, if he gets a chance to run out his energy. Name: Inspector Gadget Age: 3-4 years Gender: Male Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier – we did his DNA test, and he’s as pure as they come. Weight: 40lbs Crate Trained: Yes, but can be trusted left out in a room. Potty Trained: Yes. Fully. Absolutely no accidents and no marking. Dog Friendly: Would do best as an only dog. Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Older Vaccinated: Yes Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium Inspector Gadget is currently being fostered in Itasca, Illinois. No out of state applicants, please. If you’d like to meet him, the first step is to fill out an application: https://darkhorsedogs.org/adoption-application

Story
Dog Name:  Raven Age: 3ish Gender: Female Breed: Low riding pittie Weight: 60 pounds Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: 90% Dog friendly: Yes, with slow intro Cat friendly: No Kid friendly: Older kids (she’s a rough and tumble gal) Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative  Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium-high Hello, meet Raven. She has all the love and potential to be your forever houseguest. Worried about the rising cost of inflation? Raven will lower your water bill by eliminating the need for showers as she will bathe you in kisses. Raven also eliminates the need for your heat to be on as she herself is a heated, weighted, snuggling blanket. We have can now send our dog to college by the amount of money we’ve saved in utilities by fostering Raven.   All jokes aside…   Once Raven discovered love, she decided she couldn’t get enough of it. If you want a low riding- pitbull who snuggles you with her whole body and melts into you when you touch her, this is your gal.   When she gets the zoomies you better move your coffee tables out of the way! She’s a playful girl who lacks spacial awareness.   Raven has won over my grumpy, senior pitbull. With time, she learned exactly how he wanted to play and she fell into a submissive role. He even taught her how to make little gremlin noises when she plays.   Raven is very silly when it comes to food. She is selective on her treats (first dog I’ve met that doesn’t like hot dogs) but she will scrunch her face and shake her head to say “no thank you”. When she finds a treat she likes, she will do pretty much anything you want for it. She so far has mastered “sit”, “down” and “stay” and is working on “place”. Her recall is pretty good too!   Raven is a gem in her crate. She’ll go in with a treat and stay in there quietly until you let her out. She sleeps in her crate throughout the whole night and is happy to sleep in as late as (you) want to.   Raven would thrive in a house that has the love for life and energy that she has. She needs a good walk or run each day, someone to tug or throw a ball to her, and give her lots of love. She has shown to be good with another large dog (with a slower intro) and is perfectly content with the city life.  She is not a barker. She is proving to be a good work from home buddy and can self-entertain or nap. Raven would be an amazing addition to anyone lucky enough to adopt her and love her forever!

No out of state applicants, please. We recently welcomed Leo and his foster mom to DHD from another rescue. He’s been in his foster home for over a year - since June of 2022. We shit you not. This is blowing our deranged little minds, because Leo is a good boy that’s both dog and people friendly! And look at his little speckled cow ears! What the fuck! Leo is a playful guy but also loves to snuggle. He’s a friend to all humans and lives with another large bully breed in his foster home. He would benefit from a family that will provide him with structure and training. If given the opportunity to make all of his own decisions, he’s going to make bad ones. Same, Leo, same. We’re all on the same page here: bad decisions are fun as hell.
