Tigress

Tigress DOB 1/22/2011 Blue Healer female. Her owner was admitted into a nursing home that does not allow dogs so now she finds herself homeless. She is blind so she will be scared and reactive for the first couple weeks to get use to her new surroundings but once she is acclimated she is such a sweet girl.  She likes belly rubs too,. She has been fine with other dogs, doesn't really play so she would not like a young dog constantly bugging her to chase them.  A nice senior female would be perfect for her if she could pick her person out herself that is what she would choose. She is a very good dog and calm easy going girl.

Terry

Terry - DOB 12/21/2009 Female American Staffordshire Terrier. 

Terry was rescued from Chicago Animal Control where she had been dumped by her owner, most likely because she was going to have puppies.  She came to us scared and shy, with not much trust of people at all. But even with all of her fears she never showed any aggression toward us.  A couple weeks after rescue she gave birth to 10 puppies, those puppies were not born healthy thanks to everything mommy had been through and four passed away. 

Today Terry is a very sweet and gentle soul, She would do best as an only pet so she can enjoy all of the attention for herself. And because of her insecurities she needs a home with no children. Terry is truly a calm and loving soul who would thrive in a quiet home where she could lounge on the sofa, watch TV, gaze out the window watching the birds or curl up next to you as you read her a good book.

Oso - Adoption Pending

Oso is a 8 year old Golden Retriever/Sheltie mix male. Oso is house trained, walks well on his leash, and only weighs 32 lbs. Oso being of the herding breed needs a strong owner with no small children in the famly. If you are not consistent with him he will be hard to handle. Oso has been going to daycare and plays well with every dog we have introduced him to, he is handled in doggie daycare by both males and females and does well with both. Oso was rescued on his last day of life from animal control. We know that his previous owner was male and he does tend to listen better to males than females, but he can be a great dog for anyone who understand the herding breeds personality. This guy is super cute, and just a great little guy.
