It was hard on both of them at first ... as Killian was accustomed to sleeping in bed with his dad.

      Madge is a gorgeous red brindle, six-year-old, shepherd/cattle dog-mix waiting for the perfect home at the Will County Humane Society in Shorewood, Illinois. Madge absolutely loves people; she is affectionate and sweet. 

    Keesha and Addie are absolutely adorable, playful, energetic, active, well-socialized, extremely friendly, and loving, 10-week-old, 10-pound, female Shar Pei/Pit Bull puppies looking for a loving home. 

Keesha and Addie are cuddly, give kisses, and love people. They play well with other dogs and are looking for a home where someone has the time and energy to train and housebreak a tiny puppy. They will probably grow to be a 50 to 60 pound adult dogs, so training while they are young will give you a great dog for life.

These little girls are so fun, and fascinated by everything they see … during our photo shoot, they ran off with my pen, and even tried to walk off with my camera, and pant leg.

       Burgundy and Chestnut are a handsome pair of two-year-old, sweet, energetic, fun, affectionate, loving and playful Border Collie brothers waiting for the perfect home together at the Save-A-Pet Adoption Center in Grayslake, Illinois. 
 
When you see one, the other one is never very far away. Their brotherly bond to each other is so evident that the shelter decided to adopt them out as a pair. These boys would be ideal for an active person, family, or a couple that has the time and energy to train them and give them daily exercise - long walks, or runs would be fantastic. I believe them to be house-broken and crate-trained (with a little refresher course) because they were adopted as young pups, lived in a loving home for a year, and then returned to the shelter when the family decided they no longer had time for their dogs. 
 
Burgundy and Chestnut are extremely healthy, neutered, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on preventative. To meet and possibly adopt them, please visit the Save-A-Pet adoption center in Grayslake, Illinois at 31664 North Fairfield Road.

       Wishbone is a seven-year-old Beagle/Lab-mix waiting for the perfect home at the Save-A-Pet adoption center. His perfect home would be as the only pet in an all-adult, dog-experienced household.
 
When he was only one-year-old, a dog-lover found him running loose in her parents’ neighborhood when she was home for Thanksgiving. He was found to be heartworm-positive at the time, and he was lucky to find a safe spot at the no-kill shelter Save-a-Pet where he would be cared for and loved by staff and volunteers for as long as he necessary. But, who would have thought that he’d still be there six years later?
 
Wishbone is completely housebroken and well-behaved in the home. No crate needed for this boy ... He hardly even barks unless there’s a good reason. He loves running in the yard, but is calm enough to be left alone in the home until he cheerfully greets his caregivers after work. He received basic obedience trainingand knows the commands: sit, no, come, okay, and paws, and is always up for learning more. 
 
Wishbone loves belly-rubs and being brushed, although occasional grooming is all his low-maintenance coat needs to shine! He can be a little quirky, so, he’d thrive in a home where he can snuggle with adults, run in a fenced-in yard or receive walks far away from other pets and children. So he’s probably best in a single family home, versus a condo or apartment building.
 
Wishbone was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so he’s looking for a loving home –or even permanent foster home - where someone could give him insulin to keep him healthy. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, de-wormed, heartworm-free and micro-chipped. His adoption fee of $125 benefits the rescued pets at Save-a-Pet.
 
To meet and possibly adopt/foster Wishbone, please visit the adoption center in Grayslake. You can phone the shelter directly at 847-740-7788. To expedite the adoption/or foster, you can fill out an adoption application on-line at http://www.save-a-pet-il.org
 
If you would like to ask any questions about him, please e-mail or call Dominique atchat_chien@yahoo.com or 847-726-1257. 

    Phoebe is a beautiful, calm, quiet, and gentle, 14-year-old, 32-pound, Cattle Dog looking for a loving home. 
 
Phoebe is fine with other dogs, cats and people of all ages. She’s looking for a soft bed and loving family to spend her golden years. 
 
As Phoebe got older, her original family lost interest in her … first they moved her to live in the garage and then they dropped her off at the Terre Haute Humane Society in Indiana. She was then transferred to the We Luv Paws rescue group so she can live out her life in a home rather than a shelter cage.
 
Phoebe is housebroken and crate-trained although because of her age, she’ll need to go out more regularly. She has some arthritis, but is otherwise healthy, spayed, up-to-date on rabies, bordatella, and distemper vaccines, micro-chipped, de-wormed, treated with flea preventative, and heartworm-tested. Her adoption fee of $250 goes towards the rescued dogs of the We Luv Paws Rescue group. To meet and possibly adopt her, please e-mail Carol at <weluvpawsilrescue@yahoo.com> so she can send you an adoption application to fill out.

       Aurora is a ten-year-old Shar-Pei-mix waiting for the perfect dog-experienced home at the Save-A-Pet adoption center in Grayslake, Illinois. She’s a pretty calm girl until she knows she is going for a walk, then she starts waltzing and barking with a very unique voice. Once outside in the yard, she loves running and going for long walks. 
 
Aurora would love an all-adult home – without children or other dogs - perhaps with a dog-friendly cat or two as companions. To meet and possibly adopt Aurora, please visit the Save-A-Pet adoption center in Grayslake at 31664 N. Fairfield Road. You can phone the shelter directly at 847-740-7788.

      Gracey is an absolutely beautiful and sweet, 60-pound, two-year-old pit bull looking for a loving home. She gets along beautifully with people of all ages including children … and other friendly dogs - large and small. 
 
Gracey attends doggie day care regularly to play with all her canine friends. Sadly her family moved and couldn’t take her with to their new home. Gracey is accustomed to sleeping in bed with her human family and is an obedience school graduate. She is extremely healthy, spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on rabies, distemper and bordatella (kennel cough) vaccines. She is cuddly and loving, and at times thinks she is a lap dog. Gracey gets along with other dogs, but does not do well with cats. She is housebroken and her former family did not crate her.
 

   Lydia is a very beautiful, friendly, cuddly, affectionate, sweet and loving two to three-year-old, 35-pound Beagle-Cattle Dog mix looking for a loving home.

    Saki is a tailwaggingly friendly, powerhouse of a 65-pound, five-year-old American Bulldog/ Pit Bull Terrier-mix. Saki lost her original home where her human was sent to prison.

Molly is crate-trained, and housebroken. She knows the commands: sit, stay, down, roll over, and crawl. She is looking for a home preferably with a fenced in yard, and where there are no other pets. 

Molly is healthy, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm-tested, and on preventative. To meet and possibly foster or adopt Molly, please contact Tina at tinasells@yahoo.com or 773-216-7355. Her adoption fee is $100 and includes all her vet records and everything you need to care for Molly.

     Sheba is a very beautiful two to three-year-old, 42-pound shepherd/basenji-mix looking for a wonderful new home. 

Sheba has what I would call a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Inside the home, she is a delight … playful, sweet, loving, cuddly, rolling over for belly rubs and giving lots of kisses. She sits on command, and takes treats gently. She is crate-trained and housebroken. However, on our walks or even in the yard, she is easily aroused …  scanning the horizon for other dogs … and reacting very badly… barking, bucking, and redirecting her aggression by biting the leash, or charging the fence.

So, she is looking for an extremely dog-experienced home, without other pets, with someone willing to work with Sheba to build her confidence, and continue to desensitize her to other dogs. She will never be dog-friendly, but she can certainly improve. In the meantime, when I walk her … I want to keep her and other people, and dogs safe … so I avoid other dogs, use a gentle leader head harness to better control her, and often times I have her wear a basket muzzle.

Sheba is extremely healthy, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm-tested, and micro-chipped. 

If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Sheba, please contact me directly. 

Her adoption fee of $65 benefits rescued pets. And, because there are a lot of people working to find Sheba the best possible home with someone who will work with her … professional training will be included with her adoption.

Jasmine is currently living in a wonderful foster home with a male Australian Shepherd who she gets along with beautifully … She gets along with most dogs when introduced properly, but she can be a bit bossy.
 
Jasmine greets people with a wagging tail and a smiling face. She is housebroken and crate-trained, knows a bunch of commands including sit, down, roll over, give paw, wait, and takes treats ever so gently from your fingers. She would do best with someone willing to continue her training with gentle positive reinforcement methods to help increase her confidence. 
 
Jasmine bonds extremely closely with her people; she is very loyal and will be your friend for life. She dotes on his foster mom and her foster family, but she can be sometimes be distrustful of visitors, so she needs a dog-experienced family who can work with Jasmine to help her gain the confidence she lacks. She was rescued from a rural Ohio shelter, so it is unknown what neglect or abuse she suffered before she was lucky enough to be transferred to the rescue group.

Katie is housebroken and crate-trained. She loves people, adores playing with other dogs, and while curious, she appears fine with cats. Katie likes to hang out next to you on the couch, chew her toys and bones … and she actually talks and yodels. She is wonderful to walk on leash and great in the car. 
 
Katie is full of kisses, tail wags, and love for everyone she meets. She already knows the sit command, and takes treats ever so gently from your fingers. Because she still has some playful puppy mouthiness, she would be best with older children, and with someone willing to continue her training. 
 
Katie was probably hit by a car as a puppy, so when she came into rescue she needed knee surgery to remove a bone chip from her knee. She doesn’t let that slow her down at all ... she walks with a very slight limp, and plays happily and joyously like any other dog. She is healthy, spayed, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested and on preventative. Her adoption donation of  $200 benefits the rescues ofChicago Canine Rescue.

       Nikki is a pretty and shy seven-year-old Ridgeback/Pit Bull-mix looking for a loving home as the one and only pet.
 
Nikki was raised at a food flavor testing facility in Kankakee, Illinois. She lived in a dog run and lacked socialization and training - along with about 200 other dogs and cats.

      Addante is a gorgeous and friendly hunk of an 80-pound, five-year-old Mastiff/Pit Bull-mix looking for a loving home.
 
Addante is well-trained, and takes treats ever so gently from your fingers. He is already housebroken, and crate-trained. 
 
When Addante came into rescue he had glaucoma in his left eye and because the folks at Midwest Rescue adore this guy and wanted to maintain his handsome looks, they chose to invest in an expensive surgery to get Addante  an "intraocular prosthesis." You can’t even tell that only one eye sees!
 
Having only one seeing eye doesn’t slow him down at all. He’s athletic, agile, loves toys, balls, going for walks, riding in the car, and hanging out with his favorite people. But, he is really a big couch potato who loves to walk around the house carrying his toys in his mouth. 
 
Addante would be best in an all-adult household; teenagers are fine too. He’s looking for a home as the only pet - preferably with a fenced-in yard so he can run and play ball with his people. Addante is very healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested. To meet and possibly adopt him, please fill out an adoption application athttp://www.midwestrescueabull.org/adoption/application.html

     Baron is an energetic one-year-old, 15-pound red min pin who barks for your attention …  don’t know if he’s ever been on a leash before … with a little training and love this little guy will do beautifully as the only dog in the home.

     Flower is a 50-pound, seven-year-old shepherd-mix who was found as a stray. She was obviously living with a family as he is trained in the commands sit and down … I’d guess she’s probably housetrained too.

     Kobi is a very sweet, one-year-old, 55-pound, male lab/shepherd-mix who knows how to sit on command. How can you possibly resist those warm brown eyes? Kobi came in to the shelter with a collar embedded in his neck … as if someone put a collar on him as a puppy and then forgot all bout him.

     Micah is my idea of the perfect family dog. This sweetie pie of a 10-month-old black Labrador retriever-mix already knows how to sit and takes treats very gently from your fingers. She was found as a stray and will probably be about 55 pounds when full grown.

     Pappy is an adorable and sweet one-year-old male Pappillon-mix.

     Coco is a bouncy, active, high-energy, wiggly and silly 10-month-old, male Chesapeake Bay Retriever-mix is full of tail wags and wet kisses. Coco loves toys and balls and already knows the commands sit and down. He will probably grow to be about 50 pounds as an adult.
