Story
Lola is a 70-pound, 18-month-old, sleek and glossy, chocolate terrier-mix looking for a loving guardian. She loves walks and is super cuddly and loving with her humans. Found as an emaciated stray on Thanksgiving day in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, she landed in the home of an animal lover who has been giving her the TLC and training she needed. She had no tags, collar, or microchip, and her humans never came to claim her. She now knows the command sit and loves to fetch, although she's not big on returning the ball. Lola is perfectly housebroken and loves to sleep in bed with her foster parents or on the couch. She’s looking for someone to take her into their home and heart. She is smart, athletic and loving and would do great in a training class to help her bond with her new family. Lola is now extremely healthy, spayed, and vaccinated for rabies and distemper. Fecal and heartworm-tested, and on monthly heartworm preventative. Her adoption fee of $200 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. To meet and possibly adopt Lola, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ and follow up to meet her by e-mailing friendsofpetraits@gmail.com She’s currently being fostered in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.

Story
We LOVE Dexi!!!!! We adopted him from Wright Way Rescue this past August. He was a gift to my youngest daughter. When we rescued him we were told he was a Beagle mix and would be small. We had him DNA'd and he is mostly terrier and 18% pit. We are a cat family and are in over our heads adopting a puppy. Having teenage girls that claimed they would be a 100% responsible for his care and my busy schedule does not allow for us to properly care for him. We are looking for a family that could love him as much as we do but that has the time to give him the best care. You will get all of his chew toys, leashes and collars and a small and large crate and of course his vaccination papers.

Story
Please meet Addison! This older, beautiful lady came to us when her former guardian could unfortunately no longer care for him. We do not have much history on Addison, so she would love a furever human who is willing to be patient with her and take the time to learn her home behavior and not introduce too much to her too fast. What we have learned so far about Addison here in the shelter is that she is a super loving pup. Se can be shy at first but when you let her come to you and she feels comfortable she just wants LOTS of pets, scratches and hugs. If you`re interested in meeting Addison and other dogs like her, come on down to Anti-Cruelty today!

Titan has been with me since a pup. He is in-tact and may have challenges with other males but otherwise is great with children, female dogs and puppies of both genders. He's a kind and friendly soul who is protective of his family. Loving, a great cuddler with lots of energy- Titan is a excellent family dog. We are expecting a new baby and caring for both will be a challenge. Looking for a caring home.
