Freckles! 5yo-Female-68lbs FEE WAIVED EXTENDED STAY RESIDENT FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED The key to Freckles' heart is simple.. Toys Snuggles FOOD!

Story
Meet Missy, the ridiculously sweet girl who's been waiting far too long for her forever home. Missy's heart is overflowing with love, especially for playful dogs her size or larger; she's sort of the champion of play groups, and always our number one pick to meet new friends! She's a perfect walking companion, adores snuggles, and her house manners are impeccable! She's even shown us that she is both house and crate trained. However, Missy's one quirk is her insecurity, which can lead to overly possessive behaviors towards her loved ones. Missy's ideal home is one where you can provide her with structure, so she doesn't need to feel so unnecessarily worried and she can just focus on being the sweet girl we all know she wants to be! If you're ready to offer Missy the stability and love she deserves, she'll repay you with boundless affection and loyalty. Meet Missy any time during business hours! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11-5, and Wednesday from 11-6! Or, fill out an application on our website and a member of our adoption team will be with you within 48 hours to schedule a day for you to visit! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAD/Dog

Story
Meet Adelyn! She's a 7 year old, 60 lb pittie princess who LOVES love. Adelyn's always smiling, but the smile we can't wait to see come across her face is her Adoption Day smile. Adelyn is loving and loyal and always down to snuggle. She is house and crate trained, loves going for walks and don't even DARE say the word "car" around her! She LOVES rides! A few words from Addie's foster mom: "She really is the sweetest girl. She is the perfect girl at home and has never chewed anything but her toys or had any potty accidents. She's very food motivated and is easily trained. She is crate trained and never fusses to be crated. She loves to snuggle, gives lots of kisses, and just wants to please. She sits or lays quietly in the car and never barks or jumps around. She is a beautiful girl, so we will keep hoping for that perfect someone to give her a chance." Adelyn's adoption fee is fully sponsored through our Unicorn Program, and she is spayed, microchipped and current on all vaccines. If you are interested in making your house Adelyn's home, please go to our website at www.partnersforpetsil.org and fill out an online application for her today!
