Story
Julien is an absolute dreamboat! Not only is he a slam-dunk in the looks department, he's mastered the "puppy eyes"; and just sucks you in with one look. Julien is sweet as can be, just melting in your hands and showering you with kisses. This kid is a master snuggler, and his tail never stops wagging. Although Julien does totally fine with other dogs when a barrier such as a fence or kennel door is involved, he would prefer not to share your attention and be the only dog in his forever home. Julien came to us with many scars on his face and legs, so we're assuming he may have been attacked in the past and understandably feels a bit nervous around other dogs. Julien has spent some time in our staff offices, as he's a favorite around the shelter. He loves to help with office duties and make sure everyone stays on task. After a few minutes of exploring, Julien settles in and lays on his bed all stretched relaxing. Julien is one fantastic pup, that's for sure! All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

Story
Rory came to us from MADACC, where she was found a broken shell of a dog. Extremely emaciated, sores on her body, overgrown nails, and extremely fearful Rory obviously had some painful past experiences. But after a week or so of earning her trust, she has become the most happy, loving girl. Rory can be a bit selective with other dogs, particularly high energy pups who are very in her face. So any existing dogs in the home would require a dog test to ensure it's a good match. She loves to go on adventures, and has become a confident pup who deeply loves her people. Rory is the most gentle and loving with kiddos, and is sure to make a family very happy! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Lilo is a sweet little pup who loves everyone she meets. She loves to play with other dogs and doesn't mind being around cats.

She is still being potty trained by her foster and will do a little dance or flop around on the couch when she needs to use the bathroom. Lilo would fit into any size family. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
***** Oliver has been with us longer than we would like so he is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and his adoption fee has been reduced to $200. *****Hi everybody! My name is Oliver but you can call me Oliv-EAR! I mean - just look at how cute I am! I love lots of things - treats, walks, toys, people and other dogs! I would love to find a family who will take me on adventures and if you have another dog-social playful dog to be my pal that would be the icing on the cake! When all the adventuring is done, I make a great snuggle companion and will be happy to curl up with you to watch a holiday movie! I`m still just a big puppy so I`ll need a little more help learning my manners, potty training and crate training but those yummy treats will have me motivated to learn in no time! If you want a sweet and energetic young pup to bring into your life, then I might be the one for you! Also, I am eligible for a GoodPup scholarship! Ask your counselor about training options! Medical History: I appear to be a healthy young adult dog at this time, but it`s always a good idea to get me into a vet soon after adoption so I can meet my new doctor! Weight: 56.6 lbsAdoption Fee: $200 + TaxIf you`d like to meet me, click the `Learn About the Adoption Process` button below to plan a visit to the shelter!

Story
Hope is being fostered in LA. Hope is a sweet and happy girl. She does have some vision loss. Hope is fit, healthy and a very loyal pup full of energy and love. She is ready to fill your days with adventure and nights with cuddling. Hope is looking for a daytime exercise partner with whom she can run, play with toys, engage in games of catch, tug of war and sometimes long silly leaps just for fun. In the evening a snuggle buddy is in order so she can cuddle close with her head on the lap of her human. Hope is very loyal and loving to her person. This sweetheart is well behaved and very likeable. She does well on a leash and is really great about going to her kennel when asked. Hope enjoys meeting new people and they, her. She is so adored at the vets office that they treat her like the “Belle of the Ball” giving her all kinds of special attention and loving. Hope, with all her positive qualities is still a youngster and often doesn’t know her own strength, so she can sometimes play rough. Slow introductions would be best. She plays well with most dogs, but prefers unassertive canine friends and would do well in a home without small children or cats. (Transports within 18 hours travel time are available to approved adopter.) BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

7 months... 7 months ago the person I loved dropped me on the side of the road... why they did that was never really clear.. I have a kind heart.. a gentle soul.. I love humans and live with cats.. I am potty trained.. crate trained.. I am well mannered and even more beautiful than I am kind..    but I am overlooked.. because I'm a pitty?? Because I have a blue nose?? because I'm 4yo?? My only fault is I am looking to be your only dog.. whatever happened in my past.. I just get really nervous when I am too close to other dogs.. I don't bark or lunge.. just observe and just stay in my own space..    7 months ago my heart was shattered when I was thrown away like trash.. I was left to fend for myself for over 3 weeks before Be My FurEvers stepped in to catch me.. feed me.. love me.. and house me.. but never in their wildest lives did they think I would have basically no interest in 7 months.. but here I am.. and I would love nothing more.. for someone to love me for the rest of their life.. because I am certain I will love you for the rest of my mine     Let's find a Princess Peach a forever home! This beautiful girl has waited long enough.. she's too amazing to be overlooked.. if you're looking to be a 1 dog home.. you will not regret meeting this girl ##2077110##

1.5 years old (estimated) Neutered male 51 lbs. Playful and loving Has done well with other dogs and a cat No known experience with dogs or children Appears housetrained I’m a sweet, energetic boy who loves life and all the fun it brings. I know how to sit and shake, and I seem to have potty training figured out, too. I’ll admit I’m still working on my leash manners—I’m a strong guy—but I’m eager to learn! I thrive when I’m around people, soaking up all the attention and belly rubs you’re willing to give. And toys? Oh, they’re my absolute favorite! If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion, I’d love to meet you! I have been waiting a while to find my home so my adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take me home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.December 5, 2024, 12:14 pm

Story
Introducing Tutti, the lovable Boxer mix with a heart full of affection and a zest for life! Hi, I'm Tutti, a spirited and affectionate Boxer mix ready to bring joy to your life! With my charming personality and playful nature, I'm the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal and loving pet. I absolutely adore my humans and thrive on cuddles and quality time together. Whether we're snuggled up on the couch or enjoying a leisurely walk in the park, I'll be right by your side, wagging my tail with excitement. I find great pleasure in the company of my loved ones and will shower you with endless affection and loyalty. One of my favorite pastimes is chasing balls and toys. Throw one my way, and I'll happily engage in an enthusiastic game of fetch. I'm always up for outdoor adventures, so count me in for long walks, hikes, or exploring new places. The fresh air and open spaces truly bring out the best in me! Having a four-legged friend unfortunately isn't going to be in the cards for me. I'll do best in a home where I am the only pet. I take pride in my impeccable house manners. I am housebroken and have mastered the art of kennel training, though I must admit that I have a soft spot for the couch or your cozy bed. After a day full of activities, nothing makes me happier than curling up beside you for a well-deserved snuggle session. If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal companion, look no further than me, Tutti! Together, we'll create cherished memories and embark on countless adventures. I'm ready to become an integral part of your loving home and bring an abundance of joy and companionship into your life. So, what are you waiting for? Let's start our incredible journey together! **Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Wisconsin applications are priority, but Illinois applications will be considered if no small children are present in the home, the home is owned, and excellent vet reference can be provided. We cannot process applications from other states. Adoption fee is $350 unless otherwise noted above. Puppies under 1 year of age accept application for families with children over 6 years of age for large breeds and over 8 years of age for small breeds. Since they are still puppies, dogs under 1 will require a basic obedience and puppy training class, and spay/neuter at the owners expense.
