Pearl is a 6-year-old female terrier mix who is laid-back and friendly. She seems to love everyone she meets, including other dogs that are calm like her. She loves to go on walks and lounge in her doggy bed. (NAWS Illinois Humane Society)
Annabelle is a beautiful 4-year-old pitbull mix who was recently returned and is stressed to be back. She’s one of those dogs that just don’t show well in a cage and she’s always passed by. Annabelle needs a devoted home that will give her the time she needs to decompress and start her new life. She would do best in a quiet home without small children. (PAWS Tinley Park)
About 6 years old, Cupid was orphaned when her dad died and wasn’t discovered until several days later by police conducting a well-being check. Cupid is a mellow old girl looking to be your one and only. She loves belly rubs and kisses. (Dogs Are Serving Rescue)
Chance is a high-energy guy who will keep you on your toes. At a little over a year and a half, Chance would love to find a home where he can run, explore, and be the king of his castle. (PAWS Tinley Park)
Meet Goldie, a beautiful 10-month-old girl who came in very pregnant with 5 babies. She was a wonderful mama and is hoping to find a home like the rest of her family. Goldie is an outgoing and social young lady. (PAWS Tinley Park)
