Hi Biggie Paws 🐾 Friends ! It’s me …Charlie, and I’m STILL here waiting for my Fur-Ever Family ! 🥹 I am an affectionate 🤗 two-year-old boy, weighing about 59 pounds …and I might just be (or look like) the Irish Wolfhound Mix of your dreams ! Currently, I’m staying in beautiful Woodstock, IL while I wait for that home where I can be loved unconditionally. 😊If you’re looking for a loyal friend who thrives on attention, then look no further ! I absolutely LOVE ❤️ being around people, and I’m known for my friendly demeanor. ☺️ Whether it’s a gentle pat on the head or a good belly rub, I soak up affection like a sponge. 🧽 I dream 💭 of a family where I’ll always feel wanted and cherished. After all, who wouldn’t want a furry friend that brings joy and laughter into their life ?I’ve been socialized with other dogs 🐕 and get along well with my canine companions. My big heart ❤️ extends to younger kiddos too ! However, due to my size my ‘parents’ would want to keep a VERY close eye 👀 on us cuz sometimes I forget just how big I am. 😔 Though I’ve never met any cats, 🐈 I’m open to the idea and would love to learn about them 🤓 from my new Family.I’m proud to say that I’m well on my way to being potty trained 🚽💩 ...as long as I’m kept on a regular schedule, I do my business outside without any issues. 😇 I also enjoy my daily walks and I am great on a leash. 🦮 I have a curious 🤔 spirit and a love for the outdoors, so having a secure space to play would be perfect !!When the day winds down, I know how to settle in for the night. I’m a good boy who sleeps 😴 soundly in my crate, ready to dream of all the fun adventures we could have together. I believe in the importance of a good night’s rest, and I’d love to curl up in my new home …feeling safe and secure. 🥰If you think we could be a perfect match, I would love ❤️ for you to fill out an application for consideration to adopt me ! I come fully equipped with all my age-appropriate shots. 💉 I have been neutered and I am also microchipped. My adoption fee is $450.www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
From the depths of a dumpster to a loving 💕 forever home is Clover’s dream. But could she ever get so lucky?! That’s right, this southern gal was discovered in a dumpster. She’s already been lucky enough to be saved and brought to her foster home right here in central 📍 Wisconsin. Now, she’s looking 👀 for a permanent family. Clover’s dream home 🏠 is one where she has lots of room to run… maybe even a farm or a nice, big yard. She looks JUST like a Heeler mix and has beautiful markings. 😍 We suspect she could have some type of hound breed in her too. She’s 8 months old 🗓️ and weighs around 30 pounds. We don’t think she will get any bigger, making her the perfect, medium-sized companion. Loyal, loving, friendly, and intelligent 🤓 are just some of the qualities Clover has to offer! She’s friendly towards everyone she’s met. She’s encountered people of all ages, many other dogs, cats and chickens. 🐓 Although she does enjoy chasing her cat & chicken friends, she means no harm. Clovers walks well on a leash and is kennel trained. She knows “sit,” 🪑 “come,” “down,” and “kennel,” and is working on sitting pretty too! She still has occasional accidents but frequent potty 🚽 breaks and lots of treats and praise will get her perfectly potty trained soon. She is spayed and UTD on all her age-appropriate shots. 💉If you’re willing to help make Clover’s dream 💭 of a forever home come true, maybe she could bring you some good luck 🍀 …since that’s what clovers do! You can apply to adopt her at: https://www.biggiepawsrescue.org DATCP #494550DATCP # 494550
