Story

**dog is not off leash, photo editing used to focus on this beautiful boy** Meet Lenyn, affectionately called Lenny by our kennel staff. Lenyn is reportedly a 1.5 year old Pit/Bully mix who was brought to us as an owner surrender after a short adoption from Chicago Animal Care and Control. He was not a good fit for their household. Lenyn is a BIG (80 lbs ish) active boy who is in need of a strong owner, and he needs training and routine (like any of our available dogs) to make him the best boy he can be. Lenyn cannot go to a home with cats, or small children (16 years of age and up, please) due to his excitability and mouthiness in combination with his size (and prey drive with cats). He is extremely mouthy at times and very playful. He may do fine with other larger dogs who can match his playful energy but this would be determined on a case by case basis by meet and greet. Lenyn is housetrained and reportedly did well in the home even when not crated if left alone (but we do recommend crating until proven trustworthy in a new home). Lenyn really needs work with leash walking but is very trainable and food motivated, and knows commands "sit" and "down" already. Lenyn AKA Lenny would like to leave ASAP to an adoptive home or rescue! Prior to coming here he was very kennel stressed at CACC and given his excitability we want him out of the kennel environment ASAP. His adoption fee is $150, he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov or stop by during our open business hours to meet our resident "sour patch kid".

Story

Meet Dahlia! Dahlia arrived at the shelter as a stray and was not reclaimed by an owner. We think she is about 3 years old and is a Pit (mix?) female. Dahlia has proven to be a lovely girl with humans here at the shelter, but needs a home without other animals. She keeps her kennel nice and clean here so we believe she is housetrained. She also does not shred toys or blankets. Dahlia is pretty much the cutest thing we have ever seen, so enjoy the photos of her having a blast in our outdoor yards and enjoying the weather today. Her adoption fee is $150 and she will be spayed before leaving the shelter, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov or stop by the shelter during our open business hours to meet her!

Story

Meet our newest bully beefcake boy, "Trenta Iced Chai Latte", AKA Chai. "Chai" as we call him here at animal control, was brought in as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. We have no idea why, as he is a sweet, playful boy. He is a HUGE boy and weighs 100 lbs (and would probably gain a couple lbs after leaving the shelter). He seems to be ok with other dogs here so far. Chai knows commands like "sit" and "paw". His adoption fee is just $150 and he will be neutered prior to leaving the shelter, is vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov, or stop by the shelter during our normal business hours to meet this sweet boy!

Zena is an 11 year old female Pit mix who was surrendered to us after her owners unfortunately could not secure housing where she could stay with them. She is a sweet girl, and has lived with other dogs and children and does very well. She has not lived with cats but we think she would likely be fine. Zena is housetrained and knows basic commands. She has a low grade heart murmur of unknown origin, but is heartworm negative and has no signs or symptoms of heart failure at this time. She would love for someone to come and adopt her so she can enjoy her golden years in a loving home. Her adoption fee has been paid for by a generous donor so she can go home for FREE. Zena is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov or stop by during our open business hours to meet her.

Story

Hi there, my name is Vanessa and I'm about 1 1/2 years old. I'm a really pretty young girl. If you have seen my pictures my coat is a reversed brindle. I had 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. I weigh 55#s. It's been almost a year since I've been in my foster home, and I've seen so many of my foster friends come in and find their forever families. In some ways, I am happy for them. They get those magic words "forever home" and I wonder when it's going to be my turn. When I lay on the couch with my foster Mom, she tells me "Vanessa, there is a family out there for you - you just wait." I look at her adoringly and I believe her. I trust my foster Mom so much. She's taught me so much in my year with her. She taught me how to SIT, COME, WAIT, walk on leash and no jump. The last one is work in progress. I've met so many new people and new dogs that my circle of friends gets bigger and bigger. She calls it socialization and manners. She tells new people I have to learn manners where I don't bark or jump when I meet new people. I get so excited when I meet new people, but I do calm down. It takes me about 2 minutes to calm down. You scratch my butt I'll be your BF in no time. When all my foster friends were finding their forever homes my foster Mom said V (that's her nickname for me) we need to expand your social circle - let's go to doggie daycare. Can you believe a rescue dog like me went from being a stray, living in a ditch to being the life of the party at doggie daycare? Well, believe it because that's me! I love when I go to doggie daycare. The staff knows when I come - butt scratches! I get to play all day with about 10 new friends and when I come home, I snore all night. In my foster home there are small and other dogs my size and I'm good with all of them. There was once a little dog that was so crabby that I was actually scared of him. I stayed away but I eventually made friends with him. Even with his crabbiness he got a home, so I know with my cheerful demeanor there is a home for me. There's also cats here in my foster home. Some are the resident cats and some are foster cats. Pitties are known to not be the greatest with cats and I can attest to that. I am not mean to them at all, but I will chase them. The cats here are all dog savvy. In the one year I have lived in the same home with numerous cats and dogs I can say I can live with other cats. It's the Human that has to make it work. Know what my foster Mom's trick is? Baby gates and teaching me "Vanessa, off." At nighttime I sleep in my crate. If there are no cats in the home I won't need one. I don't get into anything. I'm past the chewing stage. I do like sleeping on the couch, but I also like my crate. I know the command "go kennel" and I give you a bark (btw my bark is loud) when I got to do my business. There is also a bell by the door that I hit with my nose to tell you I gotta go out. So, about my barking? I have to tell you a story. One day, there was a bad storm, the nice neighbors tree fell down. All the electrical wires came out and there was all these booming noises and popping sounds. (transformers). Nobody got hurt but ComEd was in our backyard in the middle of the night. I did not like that! I had to tell my foster Mom, and I barked & barked. I woke her up to alert her to the booming/popping noise and this strange person in her yard. I might not make a good watch dog (I'd give too many kisses), but I did a great job in alerting my people who I love so much. I hope one day I have a family of my own. I hope maybe they will have another dog I can play with and maybe teach me manners so I can master the NO JUMP. I would love to continue with my new family on my daily walks and I would be so lucky if my new home has a fenced yard, and I have a young boy/girl that can play ball or frisbee with me. I do that now. I chase it but I get distracted & don't bring it back. I'll learn one day because I'm so smart. I know there are so many Pitties like me needing homes, and we all are so special. We just need the chance for someone to read our profiles - so I thank you for reading my profile. I hope I get the chance to meet you so I can win you over and you can fall in love with me. Love, Vanessa Vanessa is located in our foster home in Aurora.

Hi, I’m Flower. I am a not quite 1 yr old, 40 lb pittie mix girl full of love and life. I am so happy to be out of the shelter and in my foster home where I can run around in the backyard and play with the other dogs. I am completely potty trained so you don’t have to worry about teaching me that. The only thing you should worry about is me stealing your heart! I love laying and playing outside in the yard whether that be with my tennis ball, other dogs, or sunbathing. My foster mom says I run like a deer when I am excited! If you are looking for a couch potato, that works too! I would love to cuddle and watch tv (yes i mean watch tv). I am great with cats. I would do best in a home older kids (10+) just because I get excited a lot. I can’t wait to meet my future family and have a place I can call home. My ideal home is a family that works from home and wants to take me on all of their adventures because people are my favorite thing ever! If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size.
