Bandit (LMC-D-4029)
Adopted!!
Meet
Bandit, an adorable 9 week old pup currently weighing 8 1/2 pounds.
This little fellow is full of personality and will steal your heart
-- as well as your stick if you have one! Bandit is alert and likes
to be in the center of the action. He is strong and ready to play!
Bandit is black with brown spiral striping and white facial
markings. He is likely a lab mix, but it is hard to know where the
brindle coloring comes from. Because we cannot make any guarantees
as to size, shape or breed that Bandit will ultimately grow into,
only those truly willing to take "pot luck" need apply. Because of
his young age, he will need to go to a family with a stay-at-home
person to continue with his potty training, socialization and
exercise needs, and puppy school is a must.
Bandit's estimated date of birth is May 18, 2010. His adoption fee
of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo
combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Bubbles (EC-D-3915)
I wish I could tell my story. Maybe you
can guess it’s not a ‘pretty’ story. But, I’m ready to turn the
page. Are YOU the one to help me write my Happy Ending?
I’m a 6-year-old, 60 pound, mixed breed that looks like a basenji,
possibly with some shepherd or husky. I was raised in a neglectful
home, and when I got pregnant – again – and had my puppies, I got
sick. I also tore my leg on something in the yard and had an
infected open wound on my leg that made it uncomfortable for me to
stand. The people I lived with (I hate to call them my “family”)
didn’t want to deal with me anymore – I was too much trouble and
they didn’t have the time nor inclination to bring me to the vet.
They just wanted to be rid of the whole mess, so they called Animal
Control -- like they were the garbage man or something -- and asked
them to take me and my puppies away. He said if they didn’t come and
take us now, that me and my babies would all be killed. Animal
Control wasn’t allowed to take pets from private parties, so they
called Adopt-A-Pet who then stepped in and rescued me and my babies.
They sent over an emergency transporter to pick us up, and we were
whisked away to the animal hospital where we were cleaned up and
taken care of. This is where the story turns better . . . This was
the best day of my life.
Now I’m in a nice, warm foster home and my leg is all healed and I’m
perfectly healthy. My babies have all been adopted into their
forever homes. And now, I’m ready to move on to mine.
Let me tell you a little about myself – My foster mom is helping me
write this, and this is what she says:
“Bubbles is a very loving, loyal, cuddly girl that is very dedicated
to her family and very protective. She bonds quickly and is very
devoted to her people. She is looking for an owner that will
appreciate her dedication and her protective instincts. She gets
nervous around strangers and needs some time to get accustomed to
new situations; therefore, even though she was supposedly raised
with children and another dog, I believe at this stage in life she
will do best in a quiet house with adults only. She needs an
experienced and confident handler. She listens when she is told not
to bark, she comes right away when called, so her worrying behavior
can be controlled if she had a knowledgeable and confident owner.
Bubbles has so many good qualities: She is housebroken, doesn't
chew, listens, and knows basic commends. She likes to go for long
walks and she walks nicely on the leash. She is a real lady in the
house and what makes her the happiest is when she can sit down next
to you, snuggle up and be petted. She looks at you with such
grateful eyes, it makes your heart just melt. If you are looking for
a loyal companion who can make you and your home feel safe and you
can give her lots of love and guidance in return, look no further,
Bubbles is the girl for you.”
So, I am looking for a new home -- a new start -- a new life. If you
think you’re the one that I’m meant to spend the rest of my life
with, please give Adopt-A-Pet a call. I’m really a beautiful girl
and if you are truly looking to "save" a dog, you won't find a dog
more deserving than me. Please don’t give up on me. I’m a very
loving, cuddly dog that was just mistreated. I’m going to be a GREAT
dog. You’ll just need a little patience.
I'll wait . . .
Bubbles' adoption fee of $175 includes: vet exam, heartworm test,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination,
bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
Mickey (SF-D-4018-R)
Shelties are not a dog that fits into all households. Mickey can be very vocal as a watch dog and when he sees other dogs. Typical of the Sheltie herding heritage, Mickey has quick reflexes, which can make him overly reactive to loud noises and sudden touches, so no small children please. Shelties need a harmonious home. Additionally he will chase (in an attempt to herd) anything that moves ... and he is FAST.
Though he would do best in a home without small children or other dogs, Mickey still needs to be continually socialized to prevent him from becoming overly shy or fearful. Shelties become very attached to their family, and hate being left alone for long periods.
Shelties need regular biweekly (minimum) grooming in addition to daily brushing. Expect a lot of shedding. Formal training for Mickey is an absolute must, bearing in mind he does not respond well to harsh or loud training methods. He has a sweet temperament, giving kisses and telling you secrets. He requires more physical exercise than most breeds, but just as important, he requires mental stimulation. Mickey is very bright and needs to be given something to occupy his mind...if not, he may invent his own a job, which in most cases will not exactly be one that would be of your choosing. Activities that would be excellent both mentally and physically include agility, rally, tracking, competitive obedience or herding (yes, there are herding lessons and trials in the IL/WI area). He is crate trained and does fairly well on leash.
Shelties will sense your every mood and be happy or sad along with you. They love attention and they love to learn. In short, they demand nothing less than to be a FULL member of your family...they do not consider themselves mere dogs. Mickey will make a phenomenal companion for someone willing to provide him with regular opportunities to vent his energy and do interesting things.
Mickey's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.
Chiquita (VL-D-3971)
Chiquita will do best with a patient person or family who will give her the time she needs to acclimate and the TLC she needs to boost her confidence. Sudden movements and loud noises will scare her, so no small children, please. Given a little time, she will be a lovely little pocket pal.
Chiquita's adoption fee of $275 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
Cotton (BP-D-4004)
Adopted!!
I'm a 3 year old male that looks
like a bichon mix, or another small white dog mixed with poodle.
I'm pint-sized at about 13-14 lbs. While you can see I was
pretty matted, you really can't see how bad it was in this
'before' picture. I heard them say they wouldn't have shaved me
so close if they didn't have to. So now I'm almost naked and not
very "cottony", but it feels different and much better. I was
relinquished by someone who didn't have any time for me and was
kept confined for long hours, so I'm getting a refresher course
on housebreaking and making good progress. I love to play with
dog toys and balls, and am better at a game of fetch than my
foster home's very own lab mix. And, while I love to be around
people, I'm not real needy and wait patiently and quietly when
nobody is here. I love driving in cars and have been to the
local dog park a few times - that was FUN! I love children of
any age, but my foster mom thinks that I'd be better suited for
a family with kids over 10, and ideally not left alone for more
than 5 or 6 hours routinely. I'm also dog and cat friendly. I
bark a little when something catches my attention unexpectedly,
but am not a yappy dog. I would love to be adopted by a family
with (slightly older) children or perhaps by a couple that can
keep up with me.

My adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Disco (MPF-D-4021)
Adopted!!
Meet Disco, a 1-2 yr. old 22 pound
cutie. We are not sure what breeds he is mixed with - some say
pekingese, some say shih tzu, some say cavalier or english spaniel -
whatever he is, it's a nice little combination! Disco is a friendly
and loving fellow. He gets along nicely with other dogs. Disco is
new to Adopt-A-Pet, so stay tuned for more info as we get him
settled in his new foster home.
Disco's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination,
rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.
Dooley (JK-D-3998)
How can you resist this smile??? This
funny and sweet dog is Dooley, a 1-2 year old mixed breed that looks
like a shepherd/beagle. Does that make him a bepherd or a sheagle?
Whatever he is, he is an adorable, well behaved sweetheart - quite
the lover boy, and a nice manageable size at 35 pounds. Playing
fetch, going for a walk and tossing around his stuffed animals are
his favorite games. Dooley is still quite the puppy with a zest for
life - active, inquisitive, not landing in one place for too long
before he's on to the next, happy to give you some lap time but
definitely no couch potato. He loves to give hugs and love nibbles
and cuddle - he will literally sit in your lap, wrap his arms around
your waist, lay his head on your chest and fall asleep.
Dooley is a sociable guy and must be around people a lot to be
happiest. He will not do well in household where everyone works all
day and he is left home alone for long hours. He gets along with
cats and is very good with other dogs and loves older kids. He’s
fully crate trained and 90% potty trained. He walks well on a leash.
He is polite and understands the word ‘no’, still needs formal
obedience training but is eager to please. He will make a great
family pet for the family that wants a loyal, constant companion.
Dooley's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Genevieve (DP-D-4028)
Adopted!!
Genevieve is a sweet girl that we believe is a cockapoo, estimated
to be around 2 years old. She weighs 28 pounds. She has a nice
personality and is friendly to everyone, including other dogs.
Genevieve is new to Adopt-A-Pet so stay tuned for updated
information as we get her settled in at her new foster home.
Genevieve's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea
preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella
vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
Grizzly (LMC-D-4031)
Adopted!!
Grizzly is not fierce as his name implies. Instead he is a very
sweet boy, just 9 weeks old and the smallest of his litter at 6
pounds. It is just his coloring of black with gold and brown spiral
striping that makes him look a little like a bear. He is likely a
lab
mix, but it is hard to know where the brindle coloring comes from.
Because we cannot make any guarantees as to size, shape or breed
that Bandit will ultimately grow into, only those truly willing to
take "pot luck" need apply. Because of his young age, he will need
to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to continue with his
potty training, socialization and exercise needs, and puppy school
is a must.
This gentle pup is ready for a loving home and someone to play with!
Grizzly's estimated date of birth is May 18, 2010. His adoption fee
of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo
combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Jethro (MM-D-3913-R)
Adopted!!
Meet Jethro, a fabulous "basic black
and brown" mixed breed dog that looks like a shepherd/rottweiler
mix, possibly with a little hound thrown in for good luck. He's
about 2 1/2 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. A tough guy
exterior, but a marshmallow inside - just look at that smile! This
boy will steal your heart! He stood and licked the vet tech's face
as she was drawing blood from his front leg for his heartworm test.
He's a very calm, well behaved dog - a true sweetheart. He is
friendly with other dogs, (needs a little supervision and training
around cats, but is getting used to them in his foster home). Jethro
is inquisitive and friendly, with a reserved, submissive demeanor.
He's playful with dogs of all sizes - a gentle giant. Does great at
doggie daycare. He's had some training and is housebroken. This guy
is a keeper - don't pass him up!
One of our volunteers has this to say about him: I met Jethro at our
last adoption event. He is the sweetest dog! He looks so imposing,
but I went over and after a couple of minutes of petting, he laid
down for a belly rub. What a wonderful pet he'll make! I'm envious
of whoever gets him. I hope his size and look won't turn people off
- he doesn't act like he looks! You might add "nicest dog ever" to
his description. I love that dog!!
Jethro's adoption fee of $275 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Kallie (JS-D-3970)
If you're looking for a new best
friend, you might have just hit the jackpot. Meet Kallie, a 2 year
old, 29 lb. mixed-up breed that looks like a smooth-haired
terrier/border collie/cattle dog, with proportions similar to a
corgi - and cute black ears that make her super easy to spot!
Kallie is one of the sweetest and most devoted dogs you will ever
meet. She has a big heart and, to prove it, she will shower you with
her endless supply of kisses. She is housetrained in her current
foster home and benefits from a structured bathroom schedule and
positive reinforcement. Though she is fine with the teenagers in her
foster home, she has demonstrated some fear/anxiety with younger
children and with sudden or running movements that she perceives as
confrontational, so she will do best in a home without youngsters.
Kallie LOVES to play with other dogs and would enjoy sharing her
home with another active dog. Though she is small, Kallie is a
"rough and tumble" girl and is thrilled to run and roll with bigger
dogs. She thoroughly enjoys the dog park, playing in the backyard,
and she is a pleasure to walk on a leash. Daily exercise is a must.
The thing she loves the very most, though, is snuggling with you on
the couch and curling up in bed with the person she loves. For that
reason, she would probably be happiest with those of you who are
comfortable with her being on furniture, snuggling in your lap while
you read or watch TV, and spending the night quietly dreaming next
to you in bed.
Kallie is generally trustworthy in the house, travels beautifully in
the car, and is an all-around easy and undemanding dog. She is going
to make someone a loyal and loving companion. So, if you're looking
for love, come meet Kallie.
Kallie's adoption fee of $275 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination,
bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
Macy (LMC-D-4032)
New Arrival!!!
Meet
Macy, a 9 week old female puppy currently weighing 8 pounds. Her
pictures don't do her justice - she is much cuter in person! Macy is
an inquisitive girl who likes to explore. She is a typical active
and playful puppy.
Macy is black with brown and gold spiral striping. She is likely a
lab mix, but it is hard to know where the brindle coloring comes
from. Because we cannot make any guarantees as to size, shape or
breed that she will ultimately grow into, only those truly willing
to take "pot luck" need apply. Because of her young age, she will
need to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to continue with
her potty training, socialization and exercise needs. Puppy school
is a must.

$300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo
combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
spaying.
Maggie (KMC-D-4024)
Adopted!!
Just
in: Maggie is a sweet little girl that looks like a beagle-shepherd
mix. She is just about a year old and weighs 16 pounds. She is a
little shy when she first meets you but warms up when you start
giving her attention. She loves to be brushed and petted, walks well
on a leash and is house trained and crate trained. She likes to play
and is very good with other dogs and was fine in her prior foster
home with the 15 year old cat. Maggie is looking for a family that
will give her lots of love and attention - she will make a great
family pet. Maggie is new to Adopt-A-Pet so stay tuned for updates
as we get her settled in her new foster home.
Maggie's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination,
bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and
spaying.
Mario (LMC-D-4030)
Adopted!!
This
little rascal is Mario, a 9 week old male currently weighing 8 1/2
pounds. He is a pretty boy, mostly black with some brown spiral
striping and white facial markings. He is likely a lab mix, but it
is hard to know where the brindle coloring comes from.
Because we cannot make any guarantees as to size, shape or breed
that Bandit will ultimately grow into, only those truly willing to
take "pot luck" need apply. Because of his young age, he will need
to go to a family with a stay-at-home person to continue with his
potty training, socialization and exercise needs. Puppy school is a
must.
Mario is a sweet pup that likes to be held and petted - ready for
you to love and play with!

$300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo
combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Maverick (GMVH-D-4035)
New Arrival!!!
This fellow Maverick is a 4 year old mixed breed, smaller than he
looks in his photo, weighing 35 pounds. He is said to be a
lab/shepherd/chow mix, but it's really anyone's guess. The
volunteers at the pound we pulled him from said Maverick has one of
the best personalities they've ever seen. Maverick lost his home
when his person had to move into assisted living and couldn't can't
take her pets with. Maverick is playful and lived with multiple dogs
in his former home. It is unknown how he does with cats.
Maverick's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea
preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella
vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.
Oliver (MM-D-4005)
Oliver is a 2 year old, 38 pound yellow
lab mix, we suspect he might have some hound in him. He's a very
friendly boy, sweet-natured and people-oriented. He's good with
other dogs, and is curious about the cats (sniffing and wanting to
play). As he's settling in at his new foster home, he wants to be
petted and likes to be the center of attention. He still needs
obedience training but is not destructive in the house or a barker.
He appears to be mostly housebroken and is improving each day as his
hormones settle down after just being neutered. Stay tuned for
further detail as we learn more about this handsome boy!
Oliver's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Opie (NL-D-4015)
Adopted!!
Opie
is a handsome lab mix, (possibly with husky?), 18 months old, and
weighs 55 pounds. He was confiscated by Animal Control from a family
that constantly let him run loose. He is a very friendly boy once he
gets to know you, albeit a bit skittish at first. His confidence
continues to build since he's been with us. He appears to be good
with kids and other dogs and reported to be fine with the cats at
the pound we pulled him from. He is not a "velcro" dog needing to be
by your side every minute, but does like to be pet, of course.
He's playful and energetic, yet settles down nicely, sleeps through
the night. He's done great with his housetraining. He takes treats
VERY gently. He is catching on to walking without tugging, but will
still be too strong for smaller children to walk. Overall, just a
sweet and happy dog - just look at that smile! With continued
training, will be a great dog for a family with an active lifestyle.
Opie's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Payton (PZ-D-4013
Adopted!!
Payton is a 4 year old Puggle
(Pug-Beagle) weighing in at 22 pounds. He is extremely good natured
and loves other dogs. He's also cordial to the cats in his foster
home - if anything, he wants to play with them. He's housebroken,
great on a leash, generally well behaved, knows "sit" and "shake"
and "begs"-- sits on his hindquarters on command - VERY cute! He
takes treats gently and seems to enjoy the attention of children.
Payton loves to play, not only with other dogs, but "fetch" with
YOU. He's very loving, a good lap cuddler, just a nice well-rounded
dog, perfect for the first time dog owner.
Payton's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
neutering.
Peanut (DP-D-4027)
Adopted!!
Hi,
I'm Peanut. I'm a 1 year old Ewok. That's what the folks around here
call cute, fluffy dogs when they can't figure out what breed we are!
I have no clue what I'm mixed with - I'm low to the ground like a
corgi or doxie, have a fancy plume tail like a longhaired chihuahua
or papillon, the coloring of a shepherd or -- well, you get the
idea, I'm a totally mixed-up little dog. All I know is, everyone who
meets me can't stop talking about how CUTE I am! I'm really soft,
and bouncy when I walk (great tail, if I say so myself!). I'm
approximately 2 years old and weigh only 13 lbs.
I'm a sweet and friendly boy, always up for a belly rub. I'm
curious, interested in my environment, and like to explore. Still
need training for the basics and some work on my housebreaking, but
I was just neutered so that should help a lot! I'm just waiting for
you to come and meet me, because once you do, I know you will not be
able to resist taking me home!
You can meet me at my current foster home: Wilmette Pet Center, 625
Green Bay Rd., during normal store hours (847-251-6750)
Peanut's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination,
rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.
Pipi (DP-D-3955)
Pipi is a sleek, shiny, little 1 year
old female terrier mix weighing in at 19 pounds, with gigantic radar
ears that will keep you alerted to low flying aircraft! She's
extremely sweet and loving, plays beautifully other dogs and is
still a puppy at heart. If one word had to describe her, it would be
exuberant! Pipi brims with enthusiasm for whatever you are doing: if
you want to walk, she wants to walk - if you garden, she’ll garden -
and if you want to relax on the sofa, well, cuddling with you is
probably her favorite thing. Pipi is a lively dog and a good daily
walk or energetic play will make her happy. She will love formal
obedience training, and has learned to heel, sit, and stay in a few
backyard sessions. She is still slightly "puppy mouthy," which is
improving with training, but a home with very small children might
not be ideal. She's totally crate trained and will tell you when she
needs to go out to potty and walks nicely on a leash. On the whole,
she is a joy to have around! Just a nice little dog looking for a
nice lap to curl up on. If yours is available, give us a call!
Pipi's adoption fee of $290 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
spaying.
Ritz (WP-D-4023)
Adopted!!
Ritz
is a red and white male wirehaired terrier mix, weighing 14 lbs. and
estimated to be about 3 years old. Our photographer says he's very
unphotogenic and much cuter in person! He is a shy boy, a little
scared at first, but then can't wait for you to pay attention to
him. Extremely adorable, he loves to run and slide onto his back so
you can pet his belly. He's very gentle and sweet, and if you kneel
down to pet him, he'll immediately roll over for another belly rub.
Ritz will make a great pet for someone looking for a loyal companion
that just wants a little attention and an occasional belly rub!
You can meet Ritz at his current foster home: Wilmette Pet Center,
625 Green Bay Rd., during normal store hours (847-251-6750)
Ritz's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination,
rabies vaccination, deworming, dental cleaning, microchip and
neutering.
Ruby (JB-D-3991)
Ruby is a roly-poly longhaired
Chihuahua girl, estimated to be 3 to 5 years old. She is quite
overweight at 10 pounds and needs to be put on a diet! She is a
picky eater and seems to only like "people food" (which is likely
how she got so fat in the first place). She is currently
transitioning to dog food, (which she is eating as long as it is
mixed with a little turkey). Typical of her breed, she is a little
wary of new people, but fine once she gets to know you. She is a lap
dog - loves sitting with her people watching tv, etc. She is a good
sport on her walks - comically sometimes wanting to move faster than
her body will allow. She gets along with the resident dog in her
foster home but is sometimes not very cordial to other dogs on her
walks until she gets to know them better. Ruby will make a lovely
little companion to the family who will commit to helping her slim
down with a proper diet and an adequate amount of exercise. Older
children such as teenagers will be okay, but no small ones, please.
Ruby's adoption fee of $275 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella
vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip, dental
cleaning and spaying.
Sadie (MPF-D-4022)
Adopted!!
Sadie is an ADORABLE little scruffy
terrier mix, pint-sized at 8 pounds, estimated to be between 2 and 5
years old. She's very sweet and friendly to everyone and appears to
get along with other dogs. Sadie is new to Adopt-A-Pet, so stay
tuned for more info as we get her settled in her new foster home.
Sadie's adoption fee of $295 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination,
rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
Sally (DJ-D-3939)
This is Sally. Sally is a 49 pound lab
mix, about 2 years old. She is a shy girl, but does come around and
warms up with a bit of loving encouragement and reassurance. She is
both dog- and cat-friendly. Sally seems to prefer women over men, so
men might have to work a little harder to acquire her trust. She
gets along well with older children, bonding instantly with the
daughter in her foster home.
Sally's foster family describes her as extremely loyal, very loving
to the people she gives her trust to, and very trainable. She is
generally calm, not "bouncy", and not particularly playful, although
that may change as she comes more and more out of her shell. She is
crate trained and improving on her housebreaking, but not 100% there
yet.
Sally is looking for an adoptive family that will have patience
while she settles in and gets used to her new people and
surroundings. She is used to being with a family that is home a lot
and will not do well being left for long hours all the time. Her
nature is to want to be with the person that she loves and will sit
on the couch with you and sleep in bed with you. She will do fine
with older, respectful children, but no little ones, please, as loud
noises scare her.
Sally's adoption fee of $250 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm test, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, rabies
vaccination, bordetella vaccination, deworming, microchip and
spaying.
Sasha (WT-D-4026)
Adopted!!
Sasha is a sweet and gentle "mini-lab", just 1 yr. old and weighing
25 pounds. She is a beautiful chocolate color with beautiful golden
eyes - in the direct sunlight she is a beautiful chocolate brown,
which doesn't quite show up in the photos. She's like a cream filled
chocolate cupcake covered in shiny chocolate ganache. Sasha is house
trained and crate trained and walks well on a leash. She's very
active, very playful and would do great with kids who will play with
her and keep her exercised. She would love a home with a dog park
nearby where she could run with her fellow canines. She's smart and
might also be an excellent candidate to graduate to agility or rally
training after she's done with her basic obedience. She's very good
with other dogs and did well with the 15 year old cat in her prior
foster home.
Sasha is currently living at a doggie daycare facility and the staff
has this to say about her: "She is AMAZING! She is full of kisses
and wags! We love her so much. She's very friendly and gets along
very well with other dogs of all ages and sizes. Since she is on the
smaller side, I think she would do great with kids, but she does
like to jump, so she will need training and younger children may be
afraid of her jumping at first. She is shy of new people, but warms
up extremely quickly. I cannot say enough good things about her. She
seems very eager to please and loves everyone."
Sasha's adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
heartworm preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination,
bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and
spaying.
Sugar (WP-D-4025)
New Arrival!!
Just in: Sugar is a 1-2 yr. old female shaggy terrier (possibly
cairn?), possibly "poo" mix, pint-sized at only 11 pounds. Extremely
sociable, at first when let out of her kennel she's a mini-tornado
with fur, an excited ball of dog. Once she has your attention, she
settles down nicely. She's playful and loves to play with balls and
appears to know how to fetch. She's basically a high-energy little
girl ready to charge through life at full speed. She needs some
leash training and all-around basic obedience. Seems quite needy of
human attention and affection, so may not do well in a household
where she is left alone all day. Stay tuned for more info as we get
to know her better.
You can meet Sugar at her current foster home: Wilmette Pet Center,
625 Green Bay Rd., during normal store hours (847-251-6750)
Sugar's adoption fee of $320 includes: vet exam, flea preventative,
DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination,
rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.
