Story
Meet Zeus, a 2 y/o male unneutered boxer/mix who is very friendly with a lot of energy. He's up to date on his vaccinations and is looking for a loving active home to spend the rest of his days. He hasn't had the chance to be around children or other dogs/cats, but from his friendly demeanor, I don't believe this would be an issue. He is currently located in Lovejoy, IL. I have encountered some time constraints and need to be more available for my parents. Please let me know if you think you could be a good match for Zeus.

Story
Meet Gebo, the ultimate good boy! The big thing that stands out about Gebo is how much he LOVES PEOPLE. He lives for meeting people, snuggling people, sitting in laps, spooning, etc! He is a very goofy guy that brings so much joy and laughter into our home. We are so jealous of whoever gets to keep him forever. Gebo is very food and snuggle motivated, making him a quick learner who excels in training exercises! He takes treats gently and will sit and wait until you say "free" to start eating. In the morning, Gebo loves to get under the covers for a snuggle session. He's also a cuddle fight enthusiast and will drop everything for a belly rub. During playtime Gebo is hyped, but most of the day he is a cuddly couch potato. He is a frisbee champion! Gebo may do best in a house where he is the only dog or with an older, calmer companion that isn't bothered by his playful energy. Because he doesn't understand his size he may do best with older kids. He takes treats very gently, but loves to lick faces and is working on off. -LOVES PEOPLE -Potty trained -Crate trained -Loves to snuggle -Frisbee champion -Likes to swim -Enjoys bath time -Very food motivated -Enjoys training exercises and learns quickly (would do very well in agility training) -Takes treats gently -Loves an affectionate cuddle fight -Likes to get under the covers and snuggle in the morning -Will sit and wait until you say "free" to begin eating his food -Loves to be outside and nap in the sun As an added bonus, we would love to offer free pet sitting for his future family!
