PAWS pet of the week: Trudi!

Sep 28, 2018 | bgogoel

Are you looking for a social senior? Trudie is the girl for you! She’s a lovely six year old who is ready to binge watch movies all day with you. She loves a good nap and an ear scratch. Trudie loves getting to know dogs that are similar to her size and can often be found having play dates with select dogs at PAWS.

This friendly lady is looking for a quiet home to relax in. Trudie is not a fan of crowded areas with lots of people and dogs. She would do best in a home with family members 15 and older where she can lounge in her quite forever home. Trudie is dog friendly but prefers a formal introduction when getting to know a new friend.

Sep 21, 2018 | bgogoel

DEMI

Demi is a sweet 6-year-old Pointer Mix who had a rough start before she came to PAWS Chicago. Poor Demi was in a critical state after injuring her back leg trying to climb a barbed wire fence. Demi needed two corrective surgeries to repair the damage and was in a lot of pain, but thankfully this strong girl pulled through. Demi spent a month in recovery at PAWS Chicago’s Medical Center where she received laser treatments, antibiotics, and special care for the medical staff. She is now ready to complete her story and find a home to call her own! Demi hopes to find a family that will love and spoil her endlessly.

SNACKS

Snacks is a sweet nine-year-old Beagle mix who is searching for a family to love.  Unfortunately, his previous owners did not provide the proper nutrition and exercise, so Snacks is extremely overweight.  He is hoping to shed a few pounds in his new home, so his ideal family will take him on regular walks and work to maintain his health.  Some of his favorite activities include running around the yard, looking out the window and cuddling with his humans.

PAWS Pet of the Week: Karl

Aug 10, 2018 | kimberlykaczmarek

KARL
Karl is one handsome boy, and he hopes his good looks can help him find a family to call his own. This 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier can be a bit timid around strangers, but once he gets to know you, he loves to be petted and snuggled all day long. Despite his dapper looks, Karl loves to play, and turns into a huge goofball during playtime! When he’s not playing, Karl can be quite lazy, and enjoys stretching out in a sunny spot for a nap. Karl would do best in an active, adults-only home with an experienced owner who can continue his training. While he’s already mastered some tricks, this smart pup hopes to keep his brain busy by learning even more.

Karl, along with many other adorable dogs and cats, will be available for adoption today at noon at the PAWS Chicago Lincoln Park Adoption Center, located at 1997 N. Clybourn Avenue in Chicago.  For more information call 773-935-PAWS or visit www.pawschicago.org.

Brownie is searching for a quiet, adults-only home where she is the only canine as she loves having all eyes on her!  She loves being the center of everyone’s attention and hopes she can soak up as much affection as her humans can offer.  Brownie is also super talented and has mastered a few commands.  She hopes to prove that mature ladies can still learn new tricks and would love to learn even more in the future!

PAWS pet of the week: Juno!

Jun 15, 2018 | kimberlykaczmarek

JUNO
If you enjoy being active and are looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate doggy sidekick, Juno may be the girl for you! Her perky ears, gorgeous caramel coat, and big doe eyes combined with her vibrant personality makes her an absolute star!  She would love to find a best buddy who enjoys being out and about and going for a nice morning jog or mile-long walk.  Juno is very smart 1-year-old Retriever mix who loves showing off all the tricks she’s learning in training class.

She would do best as the only pet in an adult only home so she can be the center of everyone’s affection.  Juno needs a strong adopter with confident handling skills as she can get reactive when she sees other dogs on walks.  A home in a low traffic environment would be best so she can walk comfortably by her best human friend’s side.  Juno has so much love to give and she is extremely people oriented.  She’s not a fan of vacuums or thunder, but loves tennis balls and comfy blankets!  Juno has been with PAWS Chicago since November of 2017 and dreams of the day her new family will bring her home and love her until the end of time!  She will surely fill her forever home with tons of laughter, tail wags, and wet doggy kisses!

PAWS is committed to finding the perfect home for every animal in their adoption program. If you adopt Juno, not only will you get a lifetime of love, you will also receive a year of free Merrick Pet Care dog food and a free training consultation with a PAWS Chicago trainer.
