Goose
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Gender: Male
Goose is a four-year-old purebred Jack Russell terrier. He was given up by his owners because they are in the military and are being transferred to Japan. Because their dogs would have to be in quarantine for six months they did not think it was fair to the dogs. Goose is good with cats, dogs and kids. He loves to play with toys and loves tog-of-war. He would be best in a home with a secured yard or he will have to always be leashed because as like many terriers he plays the come get me game when loose and doesn't come when called if he gets loose. Goose is all the great qualities of the Jack Russell Terrier and really none of the bad.

Socks
Breed: Labrador and border collie mix
Gender: Male
Socks is a one-year-old lab and border collie mix, at least that is our best guess. He was originally adopted from a shelter by a family in the military. We don't know his story before that. He was given up because his owners were being transferred to Japan. Because their dogs would have to be in quarantine for six months they did not think it was fair to the dogs. Socks is a young and energetic dog. He is not hyper but very excitable when he sees people because he is so friendly. He craves attention and would love a family with kids that will play with him or any family who likes to go for walks, play with toys with their dog and maybe even go to the dog park. Socks is an ideal dog for any good family and is very eager to please. He is extremely sweet and deserves a forever family that will play and cuddle with him. Socks is good with dogs and cats too. He loves toys and tug-of-war.

Adante (PLEASE HELP!)
Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier
Gender: Male
****Attention: This is a courtesy listing for Bombshell Bullie Rescue**** Please contact them for adoption and any questions you may have. Email: bombshellbullies@hotmail.com Website: www.bombshellbullies.com Phone: 630-336-0458 Adante will break your heart when you hear his story. He has been in rescue for four years sitting in a kennel. Another dog who got lost in the shuffle and doesn’t understand why his family has come to adopt him. Four years ago he was picked up by animal control and sent off to be euthanized, he was given a sedative before he was set to be put to sleep but the animal control officer had second thoughts and drove back and got there just in time. He has been down a long road and is still in love with everyone he meets. Before he came into rescue he was teased mercifully by the children next door , they taunted him, threw rocks and he was tied up so there is nothing you can do. He has been the “pappa” figure to all of the other dogs that come into rescue. He loves to play ball and go for car rides. He carries his stuffed animal every where he goes. He may be already five years old, but he still has a lot of love to give and will make some one a awesome companion. It’s best he goes to a house with no children its been hard for him to get past what the other children he has done to him. Will you give Adante a chance to get out of the kennel and actually be able to sleep in a house?

Saki
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier
Gender: Female
***This is a courtesy listing for Bombshell Bullie Rescue*** Please contact them for adoption and any questions you may have. Email bombshellbullies@hotmail.com Website www.bombshellbullies.com Phone 630-336-0458. Saki has been waiting to be adopted for four years. There is absolutely no reason why this poor girl can’t have a real family to call her own. She has been lost in the shuffle and has been over looked because of the younger and “prettier” dogs. She is completely house broken, loves to snuggle, and occasionally take a swim in the baby pool. She has been an only dog for so long it’s best she is adopted as an only child. She is great with children and everyone she who wants to meet her Saki was adopted out for a short time, but then her young owner hit hard times and gave her up. And so Saki's heart was broken a second time. This time, we're determined: Saki's going to get the best home ever. PLEASE, please open your heart...and give this exceptional lady a second look.

Hank
Breed: Silky Terrier
Gender: Male
Hank is a purebred Silky Terrier (weighing in at ~ 9lb.) who has spent his whole life living outside in a dog run with only a plastic travel crate for shelter. At 6 years old, his owners finally decided to give him up. He is now enjoying life in a foster home as an indoor dog. Hank is now looking for a forever home. Hank is not yet housebroken. We are working on crate training and in the meantime, when he is playing in the house he wears a belly band (dog diaper for boys) which does wonders for preventing accidents from damaging the house. Hank is a bundle of energy. He will need an ample amount of exercise to help him expend this pent up energy. He has a very dominant personality and will also need consistent training to help him reinforce good behaviors. Since he does not do well at the groomer he has been given a short haircut so he doesn't have to go through the stress of getting groomed as much. He is very outgoing, loves giving kisses and is good with dogs and cats. We do not recommend him to go to a home with young children. UPDATE 12/18/2008 Hank makes a great walking buddy. He likes the bonding time, doesn't pull and walks right by your side. He has been getting twice daily walks in the morning and before bedtime and it has already been helping relieve a lot of his anxiety in the house. UPDATE 12/30/2008 Hank was diagnosed by our vet with liver issues. We are currently in the process of figuring out more specifics and what the treatment is. If you are interested in adopting Hank please feel free to submit an application, but be aware he is not available for meetings or to adopt until we know more about his medical condition. Please keep Hank in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time for him. If you are interested in helping with Hank's medical bills and care you can donate in honor of Hank. Thank you for your support. UPDATE 1/2/2009 Hank is being retested in about a week to see what his liver levels are, but thanks to some medicine he has started feeling much better and his back to his old hyperactive, playful, terrier self. Below is a video of him trying to demolish a toy. Shortly after the video was taken, he managed to amputate a tag, leg and ear. The poor dog toy never even saw it coming. Hank on the other hand had a marvelous time!

Clyde
Breed: Border Collie Mix
Gender: Male
Clyde is a four-year-old border collie mix. He is very sweet and loyal once you get to know him. He is shy with new people. He had a rough start living as a stray in the city being fed by a woman who claimed "he wasn't hers" yet he came and went from her backyard as he saw fit and was fed by her. We were also told by numerous neighbor kids that she beat him with sticks and brooms. He was taken by our humane investigators. He is now neutered, up-to-date on shots, heartworm tested, given frontline and heartguard and lives with dogs, cats and a family. He needs a patient, loving family that understands border collie behavior, some of which is jumping fences and being leery of strangers. He would do best in a quiet home without lots of people coming and going.
