Find out what's happening in Arlington Heightsfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

Indie is a sweet and lovable puppy. She loves everyone she meets and plays great with other dogs. Indie even likes cats! Indie is very smart and is very eager to please. Indie is doing great with her housebreaking, though since she is a puppy, she is still learning but she loves to please! Adorable!

Lulu- Female Westie Mix

Find out what's happening in Arlington Heightsfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

Lulu is a wonderful little Westie mix who has a great personality and lots of energy! She loves to be outdoors and has the greatest excitement when she sees her leash for a walk. She is also great in the car jumping in with no hesitation for the next adventure.

At home she will play catch with her toys as long as you will throw them for her, but also loves to sit and be cuddled. She wants to be in whatever room you are in.

Lulu would be comfortable in a family or single home either as the only dog or a friend to another dog as long - she just needs attention and love. She is a beautiful happy little girl who deserves a great home.

Lulu loves other dogs and would do well with older children in her forever home. Lulu would prefer a home without cats. Lulu is housebroken and crate trained. Such a cutie!

Oliver - 6-8 months old. Lab/Shepherd mix

Oliver Twist came to rescue with his sister, Orphan Annie. He’s now ready to find a family of his own. Oliver is great with other dogs and with the foster home’s cat. He does well with all people he meets, children included.

Oliver is very sweet and affectionate. He knows sit, shake, and come. Oliver is almost completely housebroken and learns very quickly, so completing his training should go smoothly. Oliver is also crate trained! What more could you ask for?

Carmen and Cromwell - About 12 Weeks Old, 7 Pounds, Doxie/Terrier Mix

Carmen and her brother Cromwell came to us together from Kentucky. They are kept together in a doggie play pen while in the house. Carmen is a petite little girl and Cromwell is her small but mighty brother. Carmen is the instigator of the two and pure puppy, Cromwell is a bit potbellied and has shorter legs. They loves their chew toys. Housebreaking has begun and they are beginning to signal to let the foster know it's time to go out. They are also learning to sit and wait for treats. Both of them get along with other dogs.

Buddy Approx. 2-3 yrs old Chihuahua mix

Buddy is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle! He is housebroken and stays in the yard with his foster family. He lives in a foster home with a lot of other dogs and gets along with all of the adult dogs. Buddy would love to find a home with someone who wants a cuddle buddy!

Dexter Lab/Pit mix

Dexter is a very, very affectionate young man. He is a bundle of energy and loves to play! He doesn't understand why he hasn't been adopted yet, he hears that it could be because he is part Pit, but he doesn't even know what that means!

He knows basic commands like sit, stay, and wait and would love a family that will continue to teach him, he is eager to learn! He is a goofy boy that also loves to chew on antlers and has learned that these are his to chew.

If you are looking for a smart boy that wants to please...check out Dexter!
