Story
Everyone meet our sweet girl Skye! Skye was dumped outside our clinic a few months ago in pretty rough shape! She was skins and bones but quick to trust us! After some TLC from our staff she has quickly gained her weight back and is almost 40 pounds now! She’s a petite girl and the cutest little girl with a huge personality. Skye can be a little protective over her food bowl which can be understandable due to the condition she was found in. She can also be a little protective over her toys so we are hoping we can find a rescue that can help work with her on this! She loves to give hugs and kisses and just loves attention! Available at County Line Pet Hospital 708-754-2351 Clphadoption@gmail.com

Story
🚨In need of licensed rescue or someone willing to foster her through a licensed rescue🚨 Everyone meet Freya! Freya was found a few months ago in our field outside our building by one of our employees. Freya unfortunately was never claimed by an owner and is now in need of a foster home to decompress. Freya has quickly become stressed out in our kennels and needs out asap! She is not a fan of other dogs and will need a foster home where she is the only pet or can be kept completely separate from other pets. During her initial behavior test she showed some possessiveness over her food bowl and toys and was a little weary around strangers at first. However our kennel attendants have been working hard with her on training and she’s been doing wonderful! She is very treat motivated and eager to learn new tricks. Freya has quickly shown us how smart she is! Freya knows sit, stay, come, paw, spin, and speak! We would love nothing more than to get Freya out of our kennels and into a foster home to continue her training and working with her. If you are interested in fostering Freya through a licensed rescue, send us a message and we can put you in touch with rescues that we work with! Clphadoption@gmail.com 708-754-2351

Story
Hershey is 5 years old; his birthday is June 16, 2019. He is playful, demands attention, loves to cuddle, and will lay dawn and take a nap whenever you do. Unfortunately, he is not fully trained but is food driven and learns easily. Hershey has separation anxiety, he can be left alone but will voice his opinion on it for a little bit. He deserves to be in a home where he is happy and taken care of.

Story
Hello!! Meet binky, a 4 year old mix breed who is ready to make you laugh with his goofy personality. Binky loves his toys, especially if he gets to play fetch with you, he also really enjoys playing tug a war with his stuffed toys. He loves his canine friends, he prefers to have his own toys and food and does not like to share because who would?? I know I wouldn't. Binky knows his basic commands and enjoys going on walks.This handsome hunk would spend his day taking a nap, playing some fetch and then sun bathe... and probably nap some more before heading out for a walk, I don't blame him for his routine. He would like to go home with kids that respect his boundaries with his belongings. Interested in this devoted stunner?? Stop by at our location and meet this goofy guy!
