Story
Meet Snow White! 55 lbs 1 year Snow White is quite the catch!! This pretty girl hasn’t had any accidents in her foster home, does great in her crate, and loves other dogs. She likes to play with other dogs but doesn’t come on too strong. Snow White is a young dog and as such loves her play time, but she tires out and loves to spend time snuggling with her humans and other dogs. She loves her toys and playing fetch! She is very good at fetching and bringing the toy back to you, excited to keep playing. Snow White does good with kids but would be best with kids older than 5 years old as the littler kids make her nervous. Snow White rarely barks! And loves car rides. She is good on a leash. She’s pretty much amazing!!! Adopt Snow White so you can see the most adorable head tilt ever, every day! Interested in adopting? Submit an adoption application on our website rescuedrascalsil.org! We will review your application at our earliest convenience. If your application is selected, we will contact you for a phone interview. From there, we’d schedule a meet and greet with the dog to make sure it is a great fit for adoption for the whole family and any other dogs in your home. Questions about adoption?

Story
Meet Tito! 2 years 43 lbs Tito is a very sweet, lovable boy who loves to give hugs. He is house trained, as long as you look for small cues like looking at the back door. He doesn't mind his crate overnight and will walk right in for a treat. He does very well with the older resident dog; however, he would be thrilled in a home with a younger dog who wants to play! He also loves chewing bones and playing with his favorite duck. He is easily motivated by training treats. He enjoys walks each day and is very good on a leash. Tito would thrive in a home with a family who has time to play fetch every day. He's a quick learner and returns the ball most of the time. At the end of the day, he enjoys lounging in the evening with his foster family. Tito has been with Rescued Rascals since October 2023, and hasn’t had any interest! We are stumped as to how this good boy hasn’t been scooped up yet! If you're looking for a good boy who loves to cuddle and be part of the family, look no further! Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Shayla! 1 year 35 lbs Hello! My name is Shayla. I am such a happy and full of life girl! I am great with other dogs, especially if they’ll play with me! I am good with kids too, but older kids would be best since I can be pretty energetic and might be too much for littler kids. She does get the Zoomies now and then which is always fun to watch! A good walk or play time does help get Shayla’s energy out and bring out her snuggly side! Shayla is crate trained, and every time you go to take her out, you will be greeted with a ton of love! She is potty trained as long as you take her outside every time she comes out of the crate. This girl is super smart and combined with that she is also very food motivated! Shayla is a big snuggler with her humans, she really loves her people. She also loves having a doggy companion by her side to show her the ropes. Shayla is great at keeping her foster brother busy by playing tug with him! A super cute thing about Shayla is when she starts to get sleepy she nuzzles on her own legs, and it’s always a sign that she’s getting ready for a nap or bedtime! This girl is sure to bring a ton of joy and fun to her forever family! Interested in adopting? Submit an adoption application on our website rescuedrascalsil.org!

Story
Vatto is really sweet dog that loves walks and cuddles and bathes. Bones to chew. He is a great guy. He just likes to be the only star of the show. He is not kind to other pets in the home. He does well with kids as young as 10. We love him and this is really hard to do but it's not fair to him or his brother to continue having them together. We tried for a long time in fear He would be left at a shelter if we let him go. He is older now so no zoomies but still loves his walks and letting you know if anyone has stepped on your property. He doesn't just bark at everything. He loves to be with family and enjoy a quiet evening. He is crate trained. This is really hard for us but we want him to be happy.

Story
Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I'm about 11 months old. I'm a really pretty young girl. If you have seen my pictures my coat is a reversed brindle. I a DNA test and it summed up I am a Pittie but mixture of many other dog breeds. What does that mean? I'm your All-American Mutt but I'm a smart All-American Mutt. But my foster Mom calls me silly and a Beauty. It's hard to tell by my pictures but as I mentioned my coat is a reversed brindle. I look big in the pictures, but I am not. I only weigh 46#s. I'm done growing unless of course I get lots of treats which what dog doesn't like. I was found as a stray when I was a puppy. I didn't know where my home was, so the AC Handlers brought me to a TN shelter. I got my Freedom Ride from Treasured Animal Rescue. Boy! That was a long ride. So many doggies & cats drive for like forever up North. I saw my foster Mom when she opened the van, and I wasn't scared. I knew right then I my future is going to be much better than what I had in TN. I'm in a foster home that has other foster dogs that are close to my age or size, and we play all day long. We sleep in our own crates and I'm a good girl and don't make a mess. I will give out a yip or a bark when I need to go potty. I love getting my food in my crate and I look for more when the other dogs are done. Who would have thought being a foster doggie I would be so pampered. There are also cats that live here. The resident cats are very dog savvy so they know how to respond to a dog like me who once in a while will bark at them. The foster kitties are learning from the resident cats that dogs bark and speaking of my bark - it's loud! I'm normally a quiet girl but when I have to tell you something, like go outside to do my business or I see the Mail Lady I will bark. I know SIT and give PAW. My best command is "Vanessa, be pretty". Gees, that's a no brainer. I like to spend my day hanging outside but if it's hot out I want to be indoors or under a tree with shade. I like to find one of many doggie bones and enjoy the fresh air with my bone. I don't mind if the other dogs take my bone away or sit next to me. I like to share. I will get zoomies once in a while too but after my zoomie spell is done, I then chill out. I like to lounge around on the couch or by your feet. One day I am going to have a forever family of my own. While I wait for my family I will play with the other dogs and learn new things. When I meet my forever family we can go for a walk, and I will show how well I listen and walk on a leash. Maybe when you bring me to your house, I will have my own doggie bed, or I can curl up on your lap when you watch TV. I will always be your loyal pup because you chose me, and I promise to make you laugh. Can't wait to meet you! Vanessa Vanessa was tested and treated for heart worm. She has received a clean bill of health from our vets. Heart worm is all gone! She will need to be on heart worm prevention for the rest of her life; like any other dog needs to be. S Vanessa is located in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this Beauty, please complete an adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-dog-adoption/ Sorry, Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of Illinois Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Story
Hi there! My name is Santa Monicaand I'm part of the California litter. California? Did I come from CA? No, our Mommy's name is Cali(fornia) so that's how we got our names. We were born in our foster home on 2/21/2024. We are so lucky to be born in a warm, loving foster home vs a shelter. Our Mama took really good care of us, and she told us it's time for us to find our forever family because her days of taking care of us is over. I love to play - hello! I'm a puppy. I'm going to grow up to be a big girl. I already weigh 38# at 24 weeks of age and Mama weighs 65#. We don't know who our Daddy is. I think he was just a boy from the neighborhood who came to visit one day. I'm bigger than my sisters and my fur is a little bit longer. Our Mama has long hair so heads up! I will shed. I love to play outside and water is my favorite. I help my foster Mom when she waters her plants. I get in the way so I can help with the water. Maybe I will have a kiddie pool in my new home. I am going to grow up to be a big girl and I can't wait to have a family of my own. My foster Mom tells us CA puppies that we better be extra cute for when our family's come look at us. I hope my family will teach me all the things' puppies need to learn. Walking on leash, potty training and puppy training! I'm learning potty training. At nighttime I'm in a crate by myself. It's to help me to be able to be on my own when I go to my forever home. I don't cry at nighttime aaannnd I don't have accidents! I might do a #1 but I hold my #2s until I have to go outside. One day I will master my potty training. I'm learning the bell system. I know when my foster Mom says the word "outside" we go to the back door. She touches the bell and one day one of us doggies will learn. Can't wait to meet you! Love, Santa Monica Santa Monica is located in our foster home in Aurora.
