Story
Our dog Maximus has always been a sweet, mild mannered dog. He's house trained and never caused any problem. However, now he's 14yo and suffers from incontinence. He pees and poos in the house even though I let him out almost every two hours. I used to be remote work. However, starting next week, I will be required to come in at least 3 days a week. I can't leave him in the house by himself with the (3) other dogs that I have. He will be leaving his urine and feces all other the house with the other three dogs at risk of walking all over his wastes. He also mostly sleeps now. The second he feels any of the 3 dogs are coming near him, he barks constantly. He's never bitten anyone. He's always been a sweet, mild tempered dog. I just can't keep him at his current phase. He also has a hard time walking now, and can only walk about a block and he's tired. He also has a large fat deposit on his right shoulder which probably contributes to him having a hard time walking.

Story
A family friend rescued Bruno from a hoome where he had been mistreated as a puppy back in August of 2023. She was unable to keep Bruno where she was staying so we offered to watch him until she found an apartment of her own. Thankfully, our friend has settled into a new apartment but they do not allow pets over 20 pounds (Bruno is approximately 40 lbs). We have an 8 year old Yorkshire Terrier who does not share the same energy level as Bruno and they are getting on each others nerves. We love Bruno and want him to have a good home where he will be loved and taken care of. No adoption fee is required. If Bruno is a good fit for you and your loved ones, he will come with a 48x30x32 inch crate, food bowl/stand, food bin, leash, and treats. Thank you!

Zelda is a 12-week-old Bahamian Potcake puppy looking for her forever home! What is a Potcake? https://www.potcakeplace.com/info/what-is-a-potcake Zelda traveled to Chicago from Nassau, The Bahamas with her brother, who has since been adopted.

She is quickly becoming a potty-training pro! She is adjusting well to life away from the island, and loves to explore all the new sights and smells! She didn't even bat an eyelash at the fireworks this past weekend! She is microchipped, current on shots, & has been dewormed. She is adjusting well to life away from the island, and loves to explore all the new sights and smells! Her adoption fee covers her microchip, basic vet care to date & her travel from Nassau to Chicago!

Story
Hazel is a very sweet, but very lazy dog. She really needs someone that can just spend time with her and give her the training an socialization that we are unable to give her. We adopted her from a rescue that pulled her from a kill shelter when she was 3 months old. She was so much fun, but never grew out of the sleepy, lazy puppy stage. We have had her for 6 years and have had three children in that time. She does ok with the kids, especially the really young ones that cant move. Our older two are toddlers that are fairly unpredictable and so she gets stressed when she is around them. She is very dominant toward other dogs, and has had some dog aggression in the past, but she also has not really been socialized so with some training I think she will do fine. She does well walking on a leash. We did train her on a pinch collar and she does very well on that. She loves people, and she doesnt run away. She wants to be where the people are.

Story
Looking for a new home. He is a great dog. Listens really well, loyal, smart, loves to play catch, and protective. Ollie has recently tried to bite a person that got too close to our daughter. (Protective instinct) needs a bit more training so this does not happen again. He is only 1 year old. 12/5/2022 is his birthday. Super loving, you do need to win him over at first but just some affection and love wins him over immediately. Very food motivated. If you tell him a command he listens even if he doesn’t want to. Will never stray far from his family. Such a huge personality and loves to snuggle.
