Story

Meet Lola, your new adventure buddy! Lola is a stunning, medium-sized bundle of joy, with a heart full of love and a zest for life. Her estimated birthday is 1/25/2023. This sweet and social pup thrives in the great outdoors-she's your dream companion for nature walks, camping trips, or lazy days on the farm. If there's fresh air and sunshine, Lola's ready to join you! When the adventure winds down, Lola is all about snuggles and belly rubs. Her loving, cuddly side will make you wonder how you ever lived without her. Lola is great with other dogs, especially those who share her enthusiasm for playtime. She can be a bit exuberant, so bigger dogs who can keep up with her energetic style would be her ideal playmates. And let's not forget how adorable she is-pictures don't do this cutie justice. Once you meet her, you'll see she's one of the most lovable pups you've ever met. Lola's looking for her forever home-could it be with you? Are you ready to add this beautiful girl to your home? Apply to adopt her: sayvanimals.org/adopt.

Tobias

Scottie, Scottish Terrier Schnauzer (Miniature)

Male, Young

Plainfield, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Our family took in Tobias after the loss of a family member and unfortunately we dont have the time or finances to continue caring for him due to a severe medical condition our daughter was just diagnosed with. He is 2 years old, full of energy, and a super smart sweet boy but would probably be best in a home that has older/no children and no other pets. He gets too excited in our home when our kids get loud or too much is going on around him. He is crate trained and for the most part potty trained but does have accidents in the house if he is not let out every few hours and/or on demand. We do not have any shot records on him due to his owners passing and he is not neutered. We love him so much and are sad to have to re-home him, however we just want to be able to find him a loving home that is going to be able to give him the life and love that he deserves.

Howie

Shih Tzu

Male, 10 yrs 6 mos

Plainfield, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Howie, a sweet and loyal companion ready to steal your heart! This charming pup adores cuddling and will happily be your shadow, always checking in to make sure you’re by his side. Howie is wonderfully gentle and gets along with kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes, though he may need a little time to warm up to larger canine friends. He’s also a leash-walking pro and loves playful adventures—tennis balls are his absolute favorite! Howie thrives with structure and consistency. He’s housebroken but may have an occasional accident if not let out on time (he’s an old man and dogs should be let out on time anyway!). Howie does enjoy a good trash can treasure hunt, so a secure setup is key. This clever boy can open slightly ajar doors and will let you know when he needs water or a snack. While Howie is an escape artist at heart, keeping him on a leash or in a secure yard ensures he stays safe. Howie’s love for his people is boundless. Whether he’s lounging with you or playing chase with a puppy, he brings joy to every moment. He’s ready for a family who appreciates his quirks and will give him the love and attention he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal and playful best friend, Howie is your guy. Looking to add a senior pup like Howie to your family? Apply to adopt here: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what Petfinder, AdoptaPet and other aggregation services state, the FIRST STEP is to submit an application through our website, not send us a message through their platform. Thank you!)
