Hi I'm Peaches and I'm looking for my forever home! I came to PCH the middle of November with my 7 week old babies! They are all grown now and finding homes so now I would like to find my own!! I was pretty timid when I came to my foster home but now I know all my foster siblings and I have a great time playing with them! I am already house trained and am allowed to free room because they say I'm the perfect house guest! I know sit for a treat after potty time but I'm ready to learn new things . I would love to go for walks and adventures. I have a fenced yard now so I can do a lot of running and playing! I also like settling in with you for a good cuddle! Does that sound like I could be your girl!! Adoption fee is $299.

Story
Meet Millie, a 2-year-old Pit Bull Mix, gracing the world with her presence at a weight of 44.8 pounds. Her journey hasn't been easy; she came into our lives through a stroke of fate, found abandoned in a park one summer, emaciated and neglected. Due to her challenging past, Millie requires a kid-free home, where she can gradually build trust and feel secure. In the loving embrace of her foster family, Millie has truly transformed. She's become an exuberant, playful, and affectionate companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life. Whether it's embarking on leisurely strolls, indulging in a game of fetch in the backyard, or sharing a quiet moment on your lap, Millie is a dog who knows how to savor every moment. Not only is Millie house and crate-trained, but she also coexists harmoniously with feline friends. However, it's essential to note that Millie thrives as the sole dog in the household, as she tends to resource-guard her food and toys. To provide Millie with the ideal forever home, we're seeking a patient and nurturing owner who can offer plenty of activities to engage her both physically and mentally. Millie's foster mom has mentioned that she may vocalize when her active needs aren't met, a friendly reminder that this spirited pup is happiest when she's well-exercised. Once Millie establishes that special bond with someone, she becomes a beacon of happiness and loyalty. Thanks to our generous sponsors, her adoption fee has already been covered for an approved adopter. Please note there is a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents.  Millie is waiting for a loving home where her heart can continue to bloom. If you think you could be that special person, apply today to meet her and start a beautiful chapter together. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Milo! He's a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who currently weighs 53 pounds. This playful sweetie would love a home with a canine playmate, yet it's not required. Although Milo grew up with young children, he might do best with children age 5+ because he's blessed with the typical big puppy high energy level. He's house- and crate-trained. You'll quickly discover that Milo is a well-rounded boy. His hobbies include: * Running around in the house * Spending time in the yard * Going on long walks * Engaging in high-energy exercise * Playing with toys * Playing with other dogs   Milo follows his foster dad from room to room. His previous family didn't have enough time for him, so he didn't get much interaction. It might take Milo a minute to warm up to new people and situations. He just wants to be loved. Can you give Milo the exercise and love that he needs? If so, he'd love to meet you! His minimum adoption fee is $95 plus a $15 fee for rabies registration for McLean County residents.  He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Introducing Frankfort, the cutest 1 year old Pit bull mix that weighs 37.1 pounds! Frankfort is on his way to mastering the art of housetraining and excels in his crate like a true champ. But don't let his missing eye fool you – this young lad's energy levels are through the roof! He's a bundle of joy who thrives on plenty of mental and physical activity, making a fenced yard the ideal playground for his spirited adventures. With his boundless enthusiasm and penchant for play, Frankfort is a natural-born goofball who's sure to bring endless love and laughter into your home. From games of fetch to joyrides in the car, he's up for any adventure that comes his way. Plus, he's a cuddle bug at heart, always ready to snuggle up with his favorite humans after a day of play. While Frankfort's energy and jumpiness may not be suited for very young children, he'll thrive in a household with kids ages 6 and up who can match his spirited nature with a bit of balance. And as much as he loves to play, Frankfort may not be the best match for feline friends due to his rough play style. According to his foster mom, Frankfort is a cyclone of chaos in the best way possible – a true testament to his playful spirit and boundless love. While he's still learning the ropes of polite play with other dogs, he's making great strides and would benefit from continued puppy training and socialization. If you're searching for a furry companion to keep you on your toes and fill your home with love and laughter, look no further than Frankfort. Come meet him today and discover why he's the perfect addition to your family! His minimum adoption fee is $95 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
