Story

Yomi is a 6 year old cuddly happy female dog. Her breed is unknown. Unfortunately she has not dealt well with being replaced as the “baby” by my child. She loves kids but hasn’t been able to get along with my daughter so we’ve decided to look for a proper home for her where she won’t have to be kept separate. If you are looking for a sweet and loving dog please give her a chance! I would love to find her a new home.

Hinckley, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Clyde came in with his friend Bonnie. These poor dogs were left in a public restroom tied up. Clyde had chewed through his leash but didn't leave Bonnie. That being said, now that they are safe and comfortable they really aren't that attached and would probably do better separated. Clyde does best with dogs his size or bigger and needs a slow introduction, he would be great all by himself, soaking up all the people attention. He loves to play, especially fetch and has tons of energy to burn off. He still needs some work on his manners but is doing much better on his chewing and seems to be housebroken and is working on his basic commands. He has not met a cat yet and is most likely too much for them. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500 To adopt Clyde email us at kakf3133@gmail.comNovember 4, 2024, 2:12 pm

Story

Lexie is a 5-8 year old golden retriever/shepherd mix who loves all the people. She is very loyal, smart, and affectionate. She would do great as an only pet but with training and socialization she has gotten to like the other dogs in her foster home and with the right introduction would be fine with another dog. She has never met a cat though. Lexi is great with children of all ages and loves to be pet and get attention from everyone she meets. She play fetch, sits, gives pay, and is easily trainable. She is housebroken, does well in the car and on a leash. She is very smart and is looking for her forever home. She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Lexie came to us positive for heartworm but has completed her treatments and is now heartworm negative.

Remington

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Hinckley, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Remington is a Australian Shepherd mix who turns 11 in Jan 2025. He would do best in an active home or with a "job". He knows all of his commands and will proudly show you all his tricks for a treat. He has a great coat that is easy to manage compared to most Aussie's and is a sweet heart for grooming. Remington needs to be in a home without small kids, he has had little exposure to kids and can be reactive to quick motions. We do believe with time and training he can work through it. Once he has adjusted he becomes a cuddle bug. He has lived with other dogs his whole life but can be selective of new dogs. He does not seem interested in cats but to our knowledge has never lived with them. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Remington, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comDecember 22, 2024, 10:02 pm
