Story
Abby is an 8+ year old mixed breed, adopted from a shelter/farm in downstate IL in 2018. Abby is a sweet, funny girl with a quirky personality. She is also incredibly intelligent and learns very quickly. She’s completely house-trained, and has never had an accident in the house in 6 years. Abby does not like big dogs, gets very agitated and will fight with them. She has been around my son’s 55-lb girl dog, and remains calm when supervised. She plays hard with small dogs, like the 27-lb beagle mix we had for 5 years. She is very healthy, vaccinated, microchipped. She’s never had any real health issues, and sees her vet every year. She is a joy to live with and can be alone more than 8 hrs/day if needs be. I work from home so she goes out in my fenced yard 3-5x/day. If you’d like to learn more about Abby, please give me a call. I’m happy to answer any questions you have at 847-490-2615

Story
Takota is the whole package! Do you like comedy? Then this big kid Takota is your guy. One day on September Takota showed up at an Airbnb in Aruba in the Carribean and we took him on as he could not stay there. He is good with dogs, extremely gentle with the smaller puppies. Takes direction well from the older dogs and loves people. This is a dog that checks all the right characteristics. He is crate trained and housebroken and loves to entertain you. He will grab something like a shoe and hopes you chase him for it. Lots of shenigans going on in his head. He is all around a very well balanced dog and fun to be with. Good manners, good humor and still trying to coordinate his long legs. Although he is big, due to his great personality, he is a candidate for a household with younger kids. This dog will be easy to integrate into a new home with another dog. He still has the mindset of a puppy although he looks quite grown at this point. His adoption fee is $500 to cover his transport cost and vet checks and vaccines. Takota is healthy, fixed, up to date on his core vaccines nd tested heartworm negative. We ask that you are within 50miles of Elgin,IL

Story
Do you want a pup that's a bit spicy? This boy is a quick thinker and knows what he wants. He might be crossed with a raccoon :-). Just kidding, but look at that mask around his eyes and those great thinker wrinkles on top of his head. Enrique was found as a puppy with his sister in the streets of Aruba, Carribean Island close to Venezuela. They were scooped up by the local trapper and after being fixed had to be released back into the streets. I could not let that happen and took them with me into my Airbnb. Enrique is house broken and very well crate trained. He is a love bug, but being scooped up inside in this weather, he is starting to be a bit feisty. He loves to run in the big yard with his friends and would love to have another dog in the household with him. At this point he is estimated to be just over 5 months old. Cunucu's, Aruba's street dogs are, are loyal and very smart. They train very easily. He knows to find his cage when you tell him to go in and he knows to sit for his meal. He has learned at the foster home to wait a the door and to wait for jis meal to be released. Good leash manners is next. Enrique does well in the doggy playgroup and love sit when people play with him. He is up for adoption within 40 miles of Elgin.

Story
Meet our sweet girl Dallas, Dallas was found dumped on the side of her road with her littermates. Her mom was dumped with her but sadly had been hit by a car and did not make it so the litter was left to fend for themselves. Luckily a good Samaritan found them, but they ended up in a shelter. No place for these puppies so rescue was found for them. At first, she was so scared of people, but she loves kisses and pets from her foster family. She will sit for a treat and is down for lots of belly rubs. She's doing great with house training. She knows and responds to 'crate-up'. She is pad trained and will go to the door to go outside. She loves to play with toys and dog chews.... she is intelligent, loyal, eager to please, loves her people, and easy to train. She'll make quick friends with anyone who’ll give her a belly rub. So, if you’re looking for a furry companion who will love you unconditionally and keep you on your toes, Dallas might be the one for you. Dallas would do great in a home with another dog to help her feel secure and someone she can play with. Older children would be okay, but we would prefer a home with no young children as everyone in the home needs to understand boundaries with puppies. We hope you'll give her a chance. Applications are being accepted. #toadvocate #toeducate #tosave

**COURTESY POST** Please call Danielle directly if interested.  847-452-7742 This is Odyn. Odyn is looking for a spiffy new home and someone to call his best friend!  Odyn came from an out of state high kill shelter and we haven’t been able to find a foster or forever home for him in over a year! He has spent most of the past year in a kennel facility and he deserves better. He is about 45lb, maybe 5 years old. We believe him to be a Dutch Shepherd/Pitty mix. He’s gentle and sweet with a little bit of sass. He loves humans and will do anything for a treat. He loves playing fetch with his ball or squeaker. He is a big snuggler and will melt into your lap if you let him. Odyn is very smart and knows most of his basic commands. He loves his crate and goes into his crate on command, does well in the car and on a leash, is potty trained, and does not have destructive habits. He seems fine with other dogs and cats while on a leash or through a fence as shown in the video, but we haven’t been able to successfully introduce him to other animals when he meets them nose to nose and no fence. We could possibly consider homing him with well balanced dogs the same size or smaller if introductions went well, but prefer him to be the only animal in the home. Odyn needs to be in a home with no children because he lacks a bit of confidence and the unpredictable behavior of children could make him nervous. He has not been behavior-tested with children. He would do best with a gentle, but structured human who can help him feel confident and secure, and one who is willing to continue any necessary training needed to build his confidence, if needed. When you meet Odyn, his gentle eyes and sweet demeanor will snatch your heart right out of you. If you can’t commit to adoption, he is in need of a foster home as well! Located Elgin, IL Please inquire today and come meet this deserving boy! Please contact Danielle to 847-452-7742 to meet Odyn ##1294602##
