Story
Everyone meet our sweet girl Skye! Skye was dumped outside our clinic a few months ago in pretty rough shape! She was skins and bones but quick to trust us! After some TLC from our staff she has quickly gained her weight back and is almost 40 pounds now! She’s a petite girl and the cutest little girl with a huge personality. Skye can be a little protective over her food bowl which can be understandable due to the condition she was found in. She can also be a little protective over her toys so we are hoping we can find a rescue that can help work with her on this! She loves to give hugs and kisses and just loves attention! Available at County Line Pet Hospital 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com

Story
🚨In need of licensed rescue or someone willing to foster her through a licensed rescue🚨 Everyone meet Freya! Freya was found a few months ago in our field outside our building by one of our employees. Freya unfortunately was never claimed by an owner and is now in need of a foster home to decompress. Freya has quickly become stressed out in our kennels and needs out asap! She is not a fan of other dogs and will need a foster home where she is the only pet or can be kept completely separate from other pets. During her initial behavior test she showed some possessiveness over her food bowl and toys and was a little weary around strangers at first. However our kennel attendants have been working hard with her on training and she’s been doing wonderful! She is very treat motivated and eager to learn new tricks. Freya has quickly shown us how smart she is! Freya knows sit, stay, come, paw, spin, and speak! We would love nothing more than to get Freya out of our kennels and into a foster home to continue her training and working with her. If you are interested in fostering Freya through a licensed rescue, send us a message and we can put you in touch with rescues that we work with! Clphadoption@gmail.com 708-754-2351

Story
Hershey is 5 years old; his birthday is June 16, 2019. He is playful, demands attention, loves to cuddle, and will lay dawn and take a nap whenever you do. Unfortunately, he is not fully trained but is food driven and learns easily. Hershey has separation anxiety, he can be left alone but will voice his opinion on it for a little bit. He deserves to be in a home where he is happy and taken care of.

Story
Bruce is an almost three year old, active pitty. His birthday is 10/31/21. He loves to play ball, play with sticks, and take long naps on the couch. He is kennel trained. He learns very quickly. Knows sit, paw, lay down, and kennel. He’d probably do best with a family without small kids as he loves to play with them but knocks them over.

Story
Meet Desi, a sweet senior Miniature Pinscher from University Park, IL, whose essence is a comforting blend of playfulness and tranquility wrapped in a sleek black and tan coat! Desi, a lovely female weighing a petite twenty-one pounds, is twelve years young. Despite her senior status, she still exudes a playful spirit and enjoys life with a delightful blend of activity and relaxation! Her favorite pastimes include playing with chew toys and cuddling on the couch, making her the perfect companion for those who cherish cozy, quiet moments as much as they enjoy bursts of playful energy. This petite darling knows a few commands, including "no," "sit," "bye-bye," and "come," even though she hasn't received formal obedience training. Desi is house-trained, spayed, and microchipped, making her ready to transition smoothly into her new home. Her temperament is gentle and loving, and she is especially friendly with young children, making her an excellent addition to a family environment.

Story
Stella is a loving dog. She has some resource guarding issues with our older lab. She has nipped her a few times. Today she bit her and I cant have it anymore. We tried training. It doesnt happen all the time but we want to find her a nice home rather than a shelter. Shes never bit a person and loves cuddle time. She needs to be the only dog. Overall she is a really good and active dog. She just isn’t working with our more docile lab. I’m willing to provide a bag of food to get the right person started
