Sydney {Chihuahua cross} - ADOPTED

Sydney is the other dog we saved from the Beverly Hills shelter.


She is a 2 year old chihuahua cross just over 15 pounds.
   

She is super friendly and does great with other dogs and kids.


She isn't as wild as these pictures make her look.  We could only get pictures when she was racing around because when she stopped she was stuck to me like glue.  Or rather she was stuck to my pocket holding the treats!  Her favourite pass time is snuggling on the couch, but she too was pretty happy for a chance to stretch her legs in the field.


Sydney listens very well and is eager to please.  She is good off leash and comes when called.  She will chase cats if they start to run, but she'll stop instantly when you ask her to.


Sydney would make a great addition to any family.


And in case you've been wondering, yes... she does always have that wild look in her eyes!  LOL.


For more information on Sydney, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.

Peanut {Jack Russell Cross} - ADOPTED

It happened again.  It only took about 2 minutes before I was smitten.  This time with Peanut.  It took all my will power to not scoop him up and take him home with me.


Peanut came to us from a kill shelter in Beverly Hills.  He has made a very long journey to find happiness.  When we let him down in the field (along with Sidney another dog from the same place that you'll meet tomorrow) he was soooo happy.  Just look at him run.
   

Peanut is a two year old terrier cross. He does great with other dogs, is pretty interested in cats (but would probably do OK with a dog savvy cat with a bit of work) and is housetrained and crate trained.


His big ears are up most of the time, but the left one occasionally does this cute little flop that I just loved.



Peanut loves to snuggle and give kisses but can be a little shy to start.  He would be better in a home with older (or calmer) children as sudden quick movements can make him nervous.  He is currently being fostered with a dog savvy five year old boy and they are getting along great.


Peanut is a total ham and is very playful.  He loves toys and can be trusted off leash. These pictures all show him trailing a leash as they had literally arrived that day and we weren't sure how much we could trust him yet!


If you or someone you know, would like to adopt Peanut, please contact us!

For more information on Peanut, please contact the Windy City Canine Rescue at info@windycityrescue.com or by calling 403-359-3139.
