However!! We still have many wonderful dogs who are spending Christmas at the shelter this year. They would love to join your family.... introducing:
Breed: Pyrenees / Collie X
Sex: Male
Age: 2 years
Smart, Obedient & Loyal described this big boy! He is very gentle with people and gets along great with other dogs. (not yet tested with cats) Rex knows some basic commands like "sit" "down" and "shake a paw". Would make a great addition to any active family!
"Makayla" **transferred to Brooks Animal Protection Society**
Breed: Retriever / Shepherd X
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 4 years
Makayla is a sweet little (45 lbs) dog who loves people! She gets along fabulously with other dogs, and spends her time running around outside. Makayla does have some separation anxiety, which just means that she will need to be crated when left alone. She is very quiet, very loving, and very silly!!! Makayla is house and leash trained!
"Lucy" **transferred to A Better Chance Animal Rescue**
Breed: Border Collie X
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 1 year
Lucy is a very active young dog. She would do great in agility or flyball sports. She loves to run and play with other dogs, but likes to chase cats. She is good with kids, and would make an excellent family dog. Lucy enjoys her daily walks, and would make a great running or hiking partner.
"Harley" **transferred to Windy City Canine Rescue**
Breed:Black Labrador Retriever

Harley is an all around wonderful dog. He is gentle and loyal, and gets along with other dogs & cats. He is house and leash trained, and loves to go for walks.
"Buddy" **transferred to Misty Creek Dog Rescue**
Breed: Chihuahua X
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: 1 year
Poor Buddy has lived his entire life outdoors. All day and all night he would spend in the cold, barely being fed or looked after. Buddy is now ready to start a new life!! He is a bit shy towards new people, but with time he will cuddle up on your lap! He is good with other dogs and cats, and is working very hard on his leash manners and house training!
"Yogi" **adopted**
Breed: Great Pyrenees X

Yogi Bear is a gentle giant! He needs a lot of room to run! Yogi loves to play with other dogs, and is completely housetrained. He would love to find a big acreage where he can run and play all day long! He is content to lay beside you for cuddles, and enjoys being the center of attention!

Colby wants you to know that adopting a Mature dog is very exciting! There will be no puppy messes, no potty training required, no chewing, and lots of love! He is a big boy, so will need plenty of space to stretch his legs! Requires alot of daily exercise to keep him content!
And we can't forget about Lexie!

Lexie is STILL looking for that furever home!!! She would like to find a family where she can be the only pet. Definitely no small dogs or cats. Lexie LOVES to go for walks and explore. She also enjoys running beside a bike (leashed, of course). She loves sitting in the passenger seat with the window rolled down, and loves to play tug of war with her toys. Lexie is also content to lay beside you for some cuddle time and belly rubs!
