Wilmer, chihuahua mix
Wilmer is a male chihuahua mix being cared for at Little Tails Rescue, Inc.
Wilmer loves other dogs. He already has all of his shots, but he hasn't been neutered. He has work to do on house training etiquette.
Wilmer's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Wilmer is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
From Wilmer's caretaker:
Wilmer is about 12 years old. He is a wonderful boy and always happy and wagging his tail. He does have a heart condition which requires 3 meds a day. These pills are easy for him to take with his meal or a snack. We are looking for a dedicated adopter willing to open their doors to a special needs dog. Wilmer cannot go under anesthesia so has not been neutered. He eats well and loves to spend the day napping and going for a short stroll in his backyard. He is not partial to cats and is still a spunky little guy.

Sammy, bichon frise and poodle mix

No cats, please: Sammy is looking for both a cat- and kid-free forever home.
From Sammy's caretaker:
Sammy is the sweetest dog and loves everyone but not partial to cats. His prior life was not the best. Sammy came to us underweight and has gained 2 pounds in the last couple of weeks. He has been neutered and had the mass above his eye removed which was benign. He is filling up nicely and will be a very handsome doggie. Sammy only has vision in one eye but sees well from the other eye.

Shiloh, Yorkshire terrier mix
Shiloh is a female Yorkshire terrier mix currently housed at United Yorkie Rescue.
Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, but she's been spayed.
No other pets, please: Shiloh is looking for household without other dogs, cats or children.
From Shiloh's caretaker:
Shiloh is an adorable nine year old, spayed female Yorkiepoo, about 6 pounds, residing in Beach Park, IL with her foster family. She is up to date on vaccinations but does need a dental which I have not scheduled at this time. Although she a very loving and social little lady, we are working on “resource guarding” issues. She is very aggressive with her food and will bite if she feels someone is trying to take her food away. I have been working with her to overcome this food aggression and feel I’ve made some progress but the person(s) who wish to be considered to adopt Shiloh must be willing to continue the training with diligence and patience. She is a very sweet and lovable little girl, however we do have some work to do before she is available for adoption.
