 | Rescue Me ID: 14-03-09-00120Arlo (male)
Arlo has been with the same owner his entire 5 years of life. However, his owner is currently homeless and has asked me to help find a permanent home for Arlo. Arlo is currently living in foster care in Southwest Michigan, but I am located in Chicago and willing to transport him anywhere within reason. Arlo is sensitive in his back end and ears, and has been known to 'warn' by growling when he doesn't want to be touched there. He will nip if pushed, so this makes him not suitable for homes with young children. He does well with dogs of all sizes, but he is a 'mounter' so this can be overwhelming for very small dogs. He cannot be around cats ... (Read More)or other small animals. Other than these issues, Arlo is an incredible and affectionate dog. He is calm for a Jack Russell but absolutely loves to run and play when he's outside. He's good on a leash and off - he will not run and doesn't require a fence. He is UTD on all vaccinations and heartworm testing/meds. I can provide detailed information about his temperament, etc. as well. Please help me find a home for Arlo!

Ladybug is an adorable, bouncy, fun, playful and sweet, eight-year-old, ten-pound, female Jack Russell Terrier looking for a loving guardian. Ladybug gives kisses and rolls over for belly rubs. Due to her terrier natures, she's best in a home with adults - not small children. She is best as the one and only dog in the home, although she is good with select other dogs. She likes to chase and bark at cats. She was found as a stray in Schaumburg, Illinois, and never claimed at the local shelter. She's so small, that she's easy to pick up and carry around and cuddle with. She loves attention and will nudge your arm for petting and playtime. She ... (Read More)loves to play fetch, and will dance on her hind legs for treats! Ladybug is healthy, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested. To meet and possibly adopt her, please contact Melia at melia88@comcast.net or 708-224-1900. Her adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued dogs of Lucky Dog Rescue.

Max is a 9 male, purebred Jack Russell terrier who has had one owner for his whole life. Energetic, smart and good with other animals, kids and adults. Due to a divorce and change of job, Max misses having a yard to play in and is spending far too much time boarding while his owner travels. He would be a great member of any family! Please help him find a home. Because of his age (9) most shelters are saying he will be difficult to adopt out regardless of his great health, good energy level and long lifespan left.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-02-25-00173Wesley (male)
Wesley is a very sweet dog who is struggling with fear based aggression issues. He has bit me a few times while startled awake under the covers, and in high stress situations. He really would need an owner that has experience working with dogs battling aggression issues. The environment I originally adopted Wesley in was peaceful and just me and him. When I graduated I moved in with my parents for a few months and there were three new people and two new dogs. Wesley liked the other dogs, but he likes to be the alpha and starting humping the other dogs. He has been to training classes, and he is a smart dog (he knows, paw, sit, stay, ... (Read More)come, look at me, 'bang bang', leave it, and poops on a grass patch during the day) but my lease isn't up until August and the current roommate situation I am worries me. Because if someone is drunk at our home and lets him out when I am not there, they might get hurt. (Less) Cook County Chicago, IL MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-11-30-00159Maxwell (male)
Maxwell was rescued from an overflowing high kill shelter. He was a stray that had not been claimed. He's about 2 years old. He loves to play with the other playful dogs, shown with Larry in this photo. Maxwell has the white markings. Please feel free to email for more pictures. He loves all people! He just has a wonderful outgoing personality and is ready to go and do anything you want to do. He never picks fights with other dogs, just avoids them if they are dominant and if they want to play he's really happy, he wants to play and have fun! He is UTD on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, crate trained, walks on a leash, and is ... (Read More)housebroken. He doesn't seem to have had any regular or formal training but learned in a short time how to walk on a leash. He is very well behaved in the house. We require a current, or past vet if no other current pets, vet phone number reference in order to adopt and do have a contract. Maxwell never deserved to be at a shelter or uncared for prior to that. He was very stiff when picked up as if no one had ever held him or cuddled him, he's now learning we won't hurt him and he enjoys sitting on your lap and getting the attention it seems he had never had. He has never been the least bit grumpy, just stiff when he's scared. He is athletic and agile like most terriers and would love to have kids or dogs to play with him, or maybe a short distance jogger, although he's not hyper at all just loves to play if anyone will play with him. He needs a real home who appreciate a dog is forever not an 'until' dog. (Less) Macoupin County Brighton, IL 62012 MAP IT!

Jack Russell/Black Labrador Mix Male dog 8.5 years old. He weighs around 25-30 pounds. My husband and I got Cooper when he was 6 months old and since then, we've started a family. Cooper is not a mean dog at all, but we feel he is not happy like he used to be since we started having kids 4 years ago. We had another baby in November. He likes to interact when other people come over, but it seems that with us he feels like he was replaced and favors to be around my husband more than anyone. We feel he would like to interact more with adults or older kids. We want someone to give him the love and attention he needs and deserves. He is a ... (Read More)trained dog and has no accidents in the house. He likes when he does receive attention from adults and loves to relax. This has been a tough decision for us, but we really feel that it is the best decision. Please contact me with serious inquiries. (Less) McHenry County Algonquin, IL MAP IT!
