Story
If being sweet is a crime, throw me in jail! I'm Harriet, and my foster mom says I'm the sweetest girl that's ever existed. I'm estimated to be a two year old pittie mix who weighs about 45lb, and I just know I love you already. I'm a very spunky girl, and love walks, hopping around the yard, and tearing apart my stuffies. I'm still working on my manners, but, hey, I've never had to have them before, so I'm allowed to stick my foot in my mouth on occasion. I get along with the dogs in my foster home, who are all similar in size to me. I love kids, too! Cats and small dogs are for chasing, so I'd prefer not to have any in my forever home...unless they like being chased! I'm potty trained and do great in my crate at night. I'm told that my cuddle game is out of this world and my snores are legendary. Don't miss out - apply today!

Story
We decided to foster this sweet boy because he was being neglected and spent most of his time in a kennel. We already have two dogs and don't want a third but we couldn't leave Albie in a bad situation. He is smart and potty trained. He knows sit and gentle already but learns new commands quickly. He would be very easy to rename if you wanted. He is very toy and treat motivated. He loves to snuggle and is also very content with a nice bone to chew. He is quick to adapt to new situations and mild mannered. He needs some work on leash manners to help him not pull. Most of all he just wants to be loved! If you want a marshmallow and best friend, Albie might be a great fit!

Story
Meet Theodore Winston, "Theo" for short who came to Canine Cupids from Chicago where he was found wandering the streets. Theo was emaciated, scared and spent two months in the shelter where he became a volunteer favorite because of his sweet nature and handsome looks. Theo loves to play with tennis balls and enjoys the company of other dogs. He was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia and is on weekly injections to help ease the pain. Theo needs to take it easy when he is playing, and walks should be not very long. Theo is a lover of sunbathing on his foster mom's patio. With his strong wiggly tail, he would not be suitable in a home with small children. If you are interested in Theo please fill out an application today!

Story
Say hello to Davey, the smartest dog you will ever meet! Davey is a 4yr old mix of big ears, tail wags, and smiles. He had a rough start to his little life but it has not broken his spirit. His happy smile will lift your spirits on the dreariest of days. Found on the streets of Chicago, Davey hasn't had consistency in his life until now. So, as amazing as he is (and he truly is) Davey still needs work on some training to learn to not get overly excited when seeing new dogs and alarm barking at strange noises. His foster home is working with a behaviorist and Davey has made amazingly fast progress! We expect him to live up to his full potential. This 45 lb bundle of sillies is searching for an active household to enjoy running, hiking, and agility with and come home to quiet snuggles on the couch. Davey's favorite toy is every toy but especially the thesaurus. He is intelligent, inquisitive, curious, adventurous, brilliant, agile, spry, nimble, fascinated, eager, enthusiastic, voracious for knowledge (and treats!) Davey loves any and all treats and with his love of playing, hiking, and agility he needs all the snacks. When we say Davey is smart, you wonder, how smart is he?!? Well he isn't a rocket scientist but he learns just about anything! He knows Sit, Stay, Paw, Other Paw, Down, Wait, Touch, Up, Off and is crate trained and bell-trained for potty time. Davey needs a family to stimulate his exceptional little brain. Like a genius kid who will act up if they are bored in school; Davey will always find a way to entertain himself. But, with a nice long walk or run in the morning, a doggo pal to wrestle with, and a bone to chew on during the day, Davey is a well- behaved happy boy. Davey loves to romp and play with other dogs after a slow introduction to get comfortable. He runs and wrestles and tugs with boundless energy. He will do best in a home with a confident, playful, medium energy dog who wants to play but also cuddle. Davey has not lived with cats but is good with children of all ages Adopt this sweet silly smart boy today. Davey is in need of a foster home. If interested, please reach out to www.caninecupids.org/adopt. You’ll love all the cuddles - guaranteed

Story
Rosemary (Rosie) has a heart bigger than her head – an impressive feat for a blocky-headed dog. She leans her whole body into cuddles and will bring her toys right to your hand, wiggling in excitement to play with you. She can also read your energy and knows when to self-entertain if you’re not in the mood to play. She is moderate energy – she loves to run and play, but also tires out quickly, so no need to worry about multiple-hour walks. As long as she can get her energy out, Rosie would likely be fine with kids who are old enough to respect her boundaries and not get knocked over by zoomies. She is fully potty trained, and tolerates her crate but is left free-roaming at her foster home with no issues. Despite being a sweet and loving dog, the world can be a scary place for Rosie – full of sudden movements and unfamiliar places. People are her anchor – from friendly strangers she happily greets at a bar to the full trust she builds with her humans, everything seems a little bit better when she has people to show her she’s safe. The biggest part of keeping Rosie safe is regulating her interactions with other dogs. She has had several negative altercations with dogs in the past, and her continuing fear of dogs manifests itself as reactivity. She is muzzle trained for her own safety, and needs someone who can handle how hard a 50lb dog can pull on walks and help her keep her distance from other dogs who may be out. Because of this fear, Rosie would be easiest as an only pet. However, she has happily lived with another dog in the past, and with lots of time, commitment, and patience, she could potentially be integrated with another dog in the future. The biggest factor would be humans who respect and enforce her boundaries and are committed to setting her up for success. Rosie has not been tested with cats or other smaller animals, but would likely have similar needs – slow integration, trust that her boundaries will be respected, and the ability for both her and the other animal to get space from each other if needed. Rosie has a lot of love to give, and is ready to build her foundation with her forever home. Could that be you?

Story
My adoption has been generously sponsored by a member of the community! Now all I need is you!·Intake Reason: Transfer from MADACC-Weight: 62 lbs Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Does well in the rough and rowdy WCHS playgroup ·Kids: Unknown; Would likely do best with older kidsYahoo, my name is Malcom and I am a high-octane and spunky guy. I was a stray in Milwaukee before I came to WCHS to search for my new forever home. I must confess that some manners training would do me good; I get rambunctious, jump up onto people and can be quite mouthy. I also need to learn to accept treats more gently; I love eating and am too grabby with rewards. Speaking of my fondness for food, I tend to eat too quickly and inhale my meals. It would be best to use a slow-feed bowl or sprinkle part of my kibble in a foraging mat to help me take more time and enjoy my meals. I am an active lad and will need plenty of exercise each day to keep me healthy and happy; perhaps you could give me a job or two. I need some practice walking more politely on a leash, so it would be lovely to take a long hike every day; maybe I could even carry a backpack. I am very playful and might excel at a variety of canine sports; I would love any activity that we could do together. I am intelligent and will ‘sit’ when you ask me to. It would be grand to learn more human words from you and should do well with patient and positive training techniques. I am an affectionate boy and would love to be your constant companion and BFF; I promise to be devoted to you forever and will try to make you proud. I have a zest for life and would love to share my life with you; my puppyish demeanor will make me a joy to be around. Stop by to meet me in person and discover how dynamic I am.#2

Story
My name's Maya and I would love a home. I've been in a shelter for years and forgot what life was like on the outside. I started to fail to thrive and lost all kinds of weight. They never spayed me and the shelter was struggling to survive too. Hey one thing you should know about me is that I don't share my toys! Nope, they're mineso I don't think I should be with other dogs. The shelter said I loved kids and other dogs but if there's an alpha dog we just don't see eye to eye. My weight, well I'm glad you asked. I'm pretty much a lightweight and could use a few extra lbs. I've already put on 5lbs. My foster has been really busy taking care of me. I would love nothing more than a home to celebrate Christmas and New Year's with. You're present would be me under the tree watching you open gifts! I sleep in the bed, I'm potty trained. I love people and all the pup cups and treats you want to give me! Please give this girl a chance! My adoption fee is 50 dollars but they will make sure I go to the perfect home for me. You don't have to be perfect, just the "One" to give me a Furever home without other alpha dogs Please apply at thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com My adoption again is $50.00, I come with current vaccinations, heartworm test was negative, rabies is up to date and my microchip and heath certificate will be included as well.

Hi I`m Joey, I`m sure Jesse talked about me already, but I`m the handsome one! I was a stray with 3 other dogs in Whitewater and then we came to Lakeland. I`m a bigger boy who does walk pretty well on a leash and more or less mind my own business. I`d prefer a home without other dogs so I can soak up all the attention myself.

Story
Hi I`m Jesse! I came in with 3 other dogs I was hanging with on the streets of Whitewater. We got to take a ride in a police car, yep all four of us together. Joey and I look pretty similar so we could be siblings, but were not talking. I`m kind of big but I do walk well on a leash and have good manners. I don`t react to other dogs but I don`t want to live with them either. I will make a great companion!

Story
My name is Vinnie and I’m 70 pounds of pure love. I love snuggling my foster parents and mom says I’m a bed hog, whatever that is! My favorite activity is going for car rides; I'm an excellent co-pilot and give great directions to the treat store. Since I'm only 4 yrs old, I would love someone who would commit to continuing with my training. I'm an A+ student but since I get very excited around other dogs, I would prefer to be the only dog in the house and have all the lovin's for myself. I know sit, ask to go out for potties, and am working on my leash manners, but I am still fresh out of the shelter, so this is all new to me. My foster mom says it's probably best if I don't live with kiddos under the age of 12 or kitties because I don't know my own size. I dont get it, 70lbs is a perfect size lap dog! Most importantly, I need a forever family to hold my big, squishy face and get lots of kisses. I sure hope I can find you guys soon. XOXO Vinnie

Do you want a house pig but your pesky city says no barnyard animals? Alfie says boooo, but also, he is an excellent alternative. This big fella will happily bask in the sun, root around for favorite treats and snore like the best fake house pig around! All the neighbors will be jealous! Neener neener neighbors. Alfie is an 12 month old, 95 pound neutered boxer/pitbull mix. He's potty trained, crate trained and just a nice boy. He's built like a wrecking ball, so sturdy kids for this guy, really just sturdy humans for him, you read he's a big dog, right? Alfie's not going to be a marathon runner, but he'll happily marathon hike. He's just going to need a minute to rest, find the guy a good patch of shade! Alfie is living with dogs, kids and cats. He will chase the cats if they run, so if your cats aren't down for that kind of attention, maybe he's not the dog for your cat. Alfie will do best with a family who loves education and structure. He's a lovely dog who learns so quickly, harness that genius and the sky is the limit. Previous giant bully experience preferred. Apply today to meet the new star of your household. We should be clear, he's not actually a house pig, he's just good at pretending. Alfie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and move in ready.
