Aslan

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Chicago, IL

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

*** In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Are you looking for your soul dog? I’ve got him! Aslan didn`t know he was homeless and living on borrowed time under a bridge with winter fast approaching. He is just a baby and had a tough start in life that in no way dampened his infectious grin, his calm demeanor, or enthusiastic pursuit of snuggles. I’ve made sure he is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. He will need quarterly Cytopoint allergy shots and I strongly recommend pet insurance as he sees life as an audition for Cirque du Soleil. Aslan is a boxer-Dog de Bordeaux mix full of athleticism and acrobatics, with the iconic cheek furls and the steady presence of a loyal guardian breed. He stopped growing at 60 lbs and Aslan`s big head is full of smarts. He is eager to please and would be an ideal candidate for advanced obedience training. He is well-socialized with other dogs and people, but does not like to share toys or food and must be fed separately. He enjoys warm baths but is made of sugar and fears melting when it rains/snows. Aslan prefers to be with his people and needs a very sturdy crate when left alone. He is working on crate training and has been quick to pick up the basics of house training. He has outstanding recall and obedience skills. He is also a lap dog who loves to cuddle; you will never have a lonely night with this snuggle lover. Aslan is adoptable for a fee that will be donated to a dog rescue. Located in Chicago, but am willing to drive him to the right adopter!Please reach out to meghan.a.iverson@gmail.com for more information.

She is kid friendly (we have met kids on our walks, and she seems very happy to meet a little person) and dog selective. She needs time to warm up to a dog before she can relax. She loves all people and would thrive in a home with a couple or family. She is medium energy, spayed, fully vaccinated, 45 pounds and 4 years old!She adores being outside on walks or chasing her ball (her tail won’t stop wagging), but she also is content snoozing on a couch and following her human around the house. She is very house trained and non-destructive. Not cat (or squirrel) friendly but is a mega love bug to anyone else in her life. She really thrives mostly off human attention! She would do best in a home with two or more people, so that she has people to hang out with. Minnie came to me at 36 pounds with pneumonia and several wounds on her head. She clearly has had a rough life, but she has blossomed into a healthy, loving dog. Other than some anxiety, she now does not have any health issues. She has also done a lot of positive reinforcement work with a personal trainer, and she would love to continue that with someone else. She will make someone very happy!Please reach out to mclowse@gmail.com for more information.

Mamas

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 4 mos

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Mamas! Mamas is the sweetest girl who could fit into any home! She is friendly to all and especially gentle with kids. She is a couch potato and sleeps well through the night in her crate or cozied up on the couch. She is indifferent to most dogs on walks and would likely do fine with another dog in the home! She has a basis of potty training and knows the command sit. Mamas is one of our Special Care pets due to getting chronic ear infections in both her ears and will require some special attention to treat those when they occur. Mamas has some muscle wasting on her head that is suspected to be due to nerve damage. She also has allergies and will need to be on a special diet without meats. Luckily, she is not picky, she LOVES apples! She does not let these things get her down, but would benefit from some extra vet visits! If you have questions regarding Mamas, we encourage you to reach out to your adoption guide during your onsite visit or email adoption@anticruelty.org. With some food, play, and patience, she would really enjoy being part of a family again. Interested in helping Mamas go from stray to cherished pet? Come and meet with her at Anti Cruelty today, we do same day adoptions!

Dahlia

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 4 yrs 5 mos

Oak Pak, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Dahlia is a total love-bug who thrives on affection and attention. A true Velcro dog, she loves to be close to her humans and will often stay in the same room as you, especially if you're relaxing on the couch. She has a playful, curious, and active side, enjoying walks and outdoor adventures, though her strong instinct to sniff means we're still working on loose-leash walking. Dahlia is affectionate and loves cuddling, often snuggling closely until she's relaxed enough to settle down. She gets along with people quickly, especially if they offer her love and attention, and she's already learned several tricks, with more in progress. Dahlia has a strong food drive, and she's especially fond of treats and human food (like veggies!). Car rides are a breeze for her, and she handles being left alone for a reasonable amount of time. While she's generally good-natured, she can be a bit protective when encountering other dogs up close but is curious about them from a distance. Dahlia would make a wonderful companion in a home where she can be doted on, enjoy plenty of playtime, and relax in comfort. Her loving nature and sweet personality will make her an incredible addition to a patient, caring family. If you would like to meet her, make sure to fill out an application on our website at animalcareleague.org!
