Foster Homes Needed for THIS Saturday 10/7/17

Please consider opening your home to one of these deserving dogs.

Our shelter partner in Tennessee is severely overcrowded! We would like to help ease their overcrowding and reduce or possibly eliminate the need for them to euthanize for space. Please understand, euthanasia is the LAST possible option at this shelter. They do everything they can to find rescue for these deserving dogs.

The dogs below have the chance to come to Illinois on THIS Saturday 10/7/17. But since we are an all foster based rescue, we need committed foster homes in order for them to ride to safety.

6 Lab mix Puppies – About 4 months Old. Typical puppy personalities! Can be fostered in groups of two or one alone.

Remi – About 1 year old – Female – Chocolate Lab Mix. Remi is typical lab! Happy, dopey, and always happy to see everybody.

Dawn – About 1 year old – Female – Brindle Mix. She is the shelter favorite! This is what they say about her… Dawn is my absolute favorite! She gets along with everybody, she is teeny tiny, she shadows me while I clean the shelter.
