Vernon Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details

Story
Huey is an extremely handsome pit bull/lab mix. He was found in a hoarding situation with 26 other animals. He came to the shelter extremely thin and scared. He was so shy and shut down that he wouldn't come out of his run for months. He needs love, patience, and a quiet home that will allow him to slowly build trust. He was pretty broken when he came to us and it took him a long time to come out of his shell. He is scared of new people and new situations so he needs someone that will take their time getting to know him, and give him the space he needs to get comfortable and build trust. He is so loving once he trusts you! If you think you have the love and patience Huey needs to be a happy pup, email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com.

Teela is a Tennessee girl at heart! She was found running loose in bad shape down south in the land of the Smoky Mountains. She is a wild child who loves to run and must have a fenced-in yard to stretch her legs. She will stick to you like velcro so having a cozy couch is a must. She loves car rides, and will literally do anything for a treat. This has made training her a breeze! Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com is you're interested in meeting her!

Story
Eddy was running loose for several days in the freezing cold before he was able to be trapped and caught. His survival skills are amazing! He was so scared when he first came to us and it took him a while to come out of his shell. Eddy, unfortunately, does not like other dogs so he will need to be the only one in the home. He needs an owner that will provide a nice quiet home that will give Eddy the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. He is so loving once he does! Applicants must have a completely fenced-in yard.

Riverwoods, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Queen Whitney is here to take over your couch and your heart! Whitney is queen of many things: zoomies, the yard, her royal subjects (her fan club), and her wubba kong toys. The though she has a band of followers, she hasn't found her own throne to sit upon! Could that be your couch? Will you join her royal family? Whitney hasn't wasted her time at the shelter or in her foster home. She's been working on many of the things a royal pup should know. She is an expert cuddler, knows lots of fun tricks, and has been working on her walking etiquette. She prefers that her subjects greet her with a game of fetch or "touch" instead of a bow. Whitney comes with her own courtier (trainer) to assist her as she settles into her new kingdom. Kirsten, from Wise Dogs Training, has been working with Whitney while she has been in foster to help her prepare to be a queen. Whitney's court is also prepared to support her transition to a new home and is always happy to chat about how wonderful of a ruler she is! Ask to meet Queen Whitney and we will happily arrange a meeting with Her Grace!

Allie

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos
Riverwoods, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Allie has been reading up on self-help books and taking lots of notes. She's thinking this year she should decorate her kennel with lots of those "Live, Laugh, Love" and "Failure is success in progress!" quotes. It just doesn't feel the same in a kennel versus a home. Still, we think she deserves an award for "Most Improved" this year! Allie has been putting in the work during her time with us and has made huge progress in her training. She is currently working on relaxing around new people and in new situations. She would LOVE a home to show off her skills in! Allie's ideal home would have grown up (or mostly grown up) humans and minimal visitors. She comes with support from both OOTS and Full Circle Dog training. After over 500 days of waiting (and learning!) Allie is SO ready to make 2024 the year she finds a home.

Story
Josh's captivating eyes are a show stealer. They are a great match to his beautiful soul. He is a super smart guy who knows sit and paw, and has the big brain to learn more. Josh has been a great walker on leashes as well! Josh is a resilient and loving dog who recently returned to Orphans after nearly a year away. Picked up by animal control, Josh came back to us severely overweight, making it clear that walking was painful for him. Despite the extra pounds, he is still the happy and affectionate boy we know and love. Here at Orphans, we are committed to helping Josh on his weight loss journey, ensuring he gets back to a healthy and safe weight. Josh is looking for a forever family who will support him through this journey and provide him with the love and care he deserves.

Bronx

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 1 yr 11 mos

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
While we are still getting to know Bronx day by day, we do know he is a very sweet boy who loves to be loved! Unfortunately, he was found as a stray so we don't know much about his life before Orphans but we have no doubts that he will be just perfect in a home! He recently went on a field trip and they said he takes treats and cheeseburgers very gently and is very patient waiting for both. Bronx is not a super cuddly dog but does judiciously hand out kisses. We're hoping Bronx gets the attention he deserves!
