Story
We are offering a pawesome adoption special to ring in the new year! Any pets marked with the "New Year, New Pet!" sticker, have had their adoption fee reduced to fulfill their resolution of finding their forever home! Adult dogs a part of this adoption special have had their adoption fee reduced to $99.00. Adult cats that qualify for this special have been reduced to $25.00. Apply now! CJ is hanging out in a foster home. Check out what they had to say about his first few days home: "We've really enjoyed fostering him so far. He's very calm and gentle. He loves to climb into a lap and snuggle up for pets until he falls asleep. He's so good with our son too. One of his cutest habits is finding any human in the house, getting as close as possible, then sitting down and waiting for pets. His speedy little tail wags will melt your heart. He's also managed to navigate our home surprisingly well and is steadily becoming more confident with stairs." All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile. After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. We're primarily a volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sundays and Mondays and will not be processing any applications on that day. Do get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart: Park in the PetSmart Parking lot and enter the store.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bailey here is a cute little Aussiedoodle, currently 7 months old at 32 lbs of curly haired love! She can be shy at first, but takes no time at all to warm up. Still a puppy, she communicates by jumping up to her people, but needs training to settle down. Also making good progress on housetraining!  Bailey is a typical Doodle in that she enjoys standing on her back legs. She listens when told no! Loves to play with toys, fetch, chew on bones, and sit in a lap. Her favorite thing is squeaky soft toys; Bailey likes to let you know she is a playful, fun girl! Although she may cry at first in her crate, she settles down and sleeps all night when crated in the same room as her people. Bailey really likes her canine foster sister, and has been introduced to the cat and wanted to play with her, but the silly cat doesn't like dogs. Bailey was a little too much for the young kids in her original foster home, so she'll probably do best with kids 10 and over to love on and play with her properly. Can you show Bailey how to be a perfect member of your home and family? Her minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Love is a petite medium sized gal who is energetic and loves to play. She would be a great fit for someone who is very active or runs. Agility training would be right up Love’s alley.  If Love gets bored or curious, she will jump a fence to explore on her own….which is not ideal, so a leash is crucial.  Of course, training will help to curb that behavior.   October 28, 2024, 9:38 am

Border Collie St. Bernard

Female, 1 yr 3 mos
Peoria, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tilly is mesmerizing with her icy blue eyes. This beautiful girl is just 15 months old. She is very smart. She would be great learning one of the many dog sports. She consistantly "checks in" with her foster mom to see if anything is expected of her.  Tilly would thrive with an adopter who is "hands on". She is 1/3 border collie, but also has small amounts of siberian husky/saint bernard/boxer/labrador retriever per her DNA results. A quiet home without small children would be ideal for her. Tilly is dog selective and it is unknown how she is with cats. She is crate and potty trained. Tilly is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is only $300.00. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1880121##
