Story
Millie is energetic and she just turned 3. She is the sweetest thing and loves playing and cuddles. I do have anther GSD that is 9 and unfortunaly they have not been getting along and has been leading to some issues. Millie would do well in a home with no other pets and can give you all the love she has. She has also never been around small children, so I don't have any history of how she would do. Older kids and teenagers she would be a great companion for.

Story
Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! My name is Charlie. I am approximately 2 years old, weigh about 59 pounds and I look like an Irish Wolfhound Mix. 🐕I’m staying in Woodstock, IL while I search 🔎 for my Fur-Ever home. 🏡 A place where the humans will ALWAYS love me, 🥹 make me feel wanted and give me lots of attention !! I LOVE ❤️ attention ! 🥰I am good with other Dogs. 🐕 I LOVE ❤️ younger humans …although because of my size (whatever that means ??) it might be best if the younger humans are NOT 🚫 too little. I have been accused of not realizing just how big I am. 🙄 I haven’t been around Cats, 🐈 so I’m not sure how I would do with them ? 🤔I am good about doing my business outside 🚽💩 …as long as I am kept on a schedule. I also do very well walking on a leash. 🦮 When outside, it would probably be best if my new home has a fenced in yard so I’m not tempted to wander. When it’s time to settle in for the night, 🥱 I sleep like a good boy in a crate. 😴If you think we could be a Fur-Ever Family, ❤️ please apply to adopt me using the link below. I AM up to date on all my age appropriate shots, neutered and microchipped ! The fee for my adoption is $450. http://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi Biggie Paws Friends ! Remember me ? I’m Hulk ! I’m still hanging out in Burlington, WI waiting for my Fur-Ever Family to come pick me up !! 🥹Over the past few months I’ve gotten a little older, gained a little weight, learned a little more 🤓 …but I’m still the same smart, loyal, loving and fun boy that was introduced a couple months back. I am now about 7 months old and weigh approximately 30 pounds. I’m still looking like a German Shepherd Mix. I’ve learned some commands like - sit, stay, down, shake and I’m also doing pretty well with "wait". My Foster Momma tells me to sit and wait when it’s time to eat …and that’s what I do. 👍🏼 I am potty trained, 🚽💩 and I don’t mind walking on a harness. 🦮I am NOT a big barker. I am a well behaved, playful, talkative lover boy. 💙 I LOVE to be near my humans all the time !! I’ve also been accused of “thinking” I am a lap dog. Wait, what ?? I’m NOT a lap dog ?? 😳 Don’t say that !! 🤫 When I see an open lap, I’m going to try my best to cozy up on it. 🥰 Not only do I love my humans …both adults and kiddos, I LOVE other dogs 🐕 and maybe even cats 🐈 too !! I understand the word “crate” but I need to be nudged a little to get me headed toward it. I am just as comfortable in a doggie bed, on a balled up blanket or on the floor. At bed time I get to sleep in bed with my humans ! ❤️ If interested in being considered to adopt me. Please fill out an adoption application under the link below. I am up to date on my age appropriate shots, 💉 microchipped and neutered. My adoption fee is $500.https://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! It’s me …Dakota ! I am STILL in Kenosha, WI waiting for my Fur-Ever Family to come get me. 🥹 I am a sweet 💕 girl that’s about 6 months old now, I weigh approximately 19 pounds and I look like a Chihuahua Mix.I am very shy at first with new humans. ☺️ Once I get comfortable though, I am the biggest love bug ❤️🐛 and will lay right on top of them. I make sure to let my humans know when I want attention by following them around and jumping up …my foster Family says I am like Velcro. 🤭 Sometimes when they are sitting or laying down on the couch watching tv, I might even lay on top of them to snuggle. 🥰 I also LOVE ❤️ to be held, but when I’m being put back down …I tend to wiggle my way out of my humans arms and try to jump down on my own. 😳I LOVE ❤️ food …who doesn’t ? 😉 I may be slightly obsessive about it though, so my humans like to feed me away from the others. I am really just a goofy 🤪 girl that LOVES ❤️ to run around and play. I especially LOVE to play with other dogs 🐕 and kiddos. I have heard about cats 🐈 …but I’ve never played with them. I do ‘okay’ walking on a leash, 🦮 but can be easily distracted and often times end up walking under my humans feet …let’s face it, I’d rather have them carry me so I can be closer to them and give them kisses. 💋 I have been doing VERY well going potty 🚽💩 outside 👍🏼 - as long as my humans are consistent and timely.At the end of a long, busy day I just want to lay next to my humans and snuggle. 🥰 When it’s time to close my eyes, I sleep 😴 in a crate all through the night. Since I LOVE ❤️ to be near my humans …being invited to sleep in their bed is something I might enjoy too. ☺️If you’d like to be considered to be my Fur-Ever Family, please fill out an adoption application under the link below. My adoption fee is $500. I am up to date on my age appropriate shots, 💉 spayed and also microchipped.https://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! My name is Teddy ! 🧸 I am a 4 month old male. I weigh approximately 30 pounds. I look like a Husky and I’m staying in McHenry, IL while I wait for my Fur-Ever Family. 🥹My foster family says I am SUPER sweet, I LOVE ❤️ attention and I can be a little crazy at times too ! 🤪 I like to find a favorite human where ever I stay …someone I can follow around for extra love and attention. 🥰 Since I am a puppy, I LOVE to chew on my toys …and sometimes other things 😔 - but I am also smart 🤓 so I can easily be redirected back to my toys when I’m chewing on something I shouldn’t be chewing on. Speaking of smart …I have already learned to sit and lay !!Oh, have I mentioned how sweet I am ? I LOVE ❤️ EVERYONE and EVERYTHING !! I love my doggie 🐕 friends and kiddos! I like my 🐈 friends a little too much and would need a home that does not have any kitty friends.I have also been working on not 🚫 going potty 🚽💩 in the house, but I haven’t figured out a way to tell my humans I need to go NOW ! So, it’s still very much a work in progress. I’m pretty good at walking on a leash, 🦮 and I will only cry 😢 for a little while when I’m put in a crate. I normally get to sleep 😴 on a bed or on the couch. If you would like to be considered to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application under the link below. I am up to date on my age appropriate shots 💉 and also microchipped. My adoption fee is $500 plus a $150 deposit toward my future neuter. The $150 deposit may be returned once proof of my TIMELY neuter is given to Biggie Paws. 🐾https://www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Kamari in Arabic means moon, or moonlight. 🌙 Even though this young lady is as dark as the night, she will bring daylight ☀️ to your life! Kamari is a young adult at approximately a year old and is smaller than she looks, 👀 weighing around 26 pounds. She appears to be an American Blue Heeler and shows a lot of the loyal 💗 characteristics that Heelers typically possess. As a matter of fact, Kamari checks a LOT of the boxes: ✅ Housebroken✅ Leash trained✅ Crate trained✅ Cat-friendly ✅ UTD on shots✅ Microchipped✅ Spayed✅ ✅ ✅ Kid-friendly Notice that Kamari earned extra checks for being kid-friendly? 😀 That’s because she LOVES kids! Although she loves all people, she especially likes to run 🏃‍♀️ and play with kids that are more her size and energy. This is why we’d prefer she goes to a home with older kids. Kamari also prefers to play 🎾 with other dogs her size as well. Besides some jealousy when other dogs are getting her attention, she’s friendly with all other dogs. 🐕 Just like the tranquil, night sky ✨ Kamari is near perfect! She is very affectionate and will beg or whimper when she wants pets, hugs and/or cuddles. 🥰 She knows “no” and listens very well to commands. The only thing Kamari needs to work on is some jump training, but if you don’t mind her gentle requests for attention then we could let that slide. 😉 Speaking of night time, Kamari typically sleeps 😴 in her kennel at night. Her kennel is her safe place and she will do some resource guarding if others try to invade her space. She is being fostered in central 📍 Wisconsin and Kamari’s adoption fee is $450.
