Story
Kumar came to the rescue as an owner surrender. He was very cautious of strangers at first. He does sometimes still growl when he first meets you, but it is not out of aggression, he is just scared at first. He loves attention and he loves to play after he knows you. He still has a lot of puppy in him and is energetic, so he needs room to run. He would need a home without small children because of his energy level. He has lots of love to give someone!

Story
Beautiful and very sweet German Shepherd/Great Pryness is looking for an active home with lots of exercise and love. He was born on Feb 14, 2023, and his name is Cupid. He is potty trained and crate trained. With my surgeries I can no longer keep up with him. He deserves so much more. He is not neutered. He has never been around cats and not sure how he is around other dogs. Possible slow introduction. He weighs about 120 lbs. He is very gentle. Loves kids to adults. Very friendly. He loves to play with toys and obsessed with balls. Please feel free to message me with any questions.

Spot

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 6 yrs

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Spot came to Warren County a few months ago severely emaciated after being found tied to a pole in the country. From minute one, he shown his absolute love of humans, his want to please, and his appreciation of being loved. Many months later, Spot is now healthy and ready for a home of his own! Spot is a wild child who would benefit greatly from not being stuck in the shelter. While he is such a charm and we love him, he wants all the love he can get and shelter life is not it. Try as we may, we just cannot give him as much love as he deserves due to time. This love bug really needs an adopter! We’re looking for the perfect home for Spot, where he will be loved every day and never have to go through anything like he did in his past. Spot is located in Monmouth, IL at Warren County Animal Control but can be brought to the Quad Cities for meet and greets! If interested, contact Becka at (309) 431-2908! Spot may be coming up to the QC for a few adoption events soon!
