**LITTLE STEVEN HAS BEEN ADOPTED!** This precious, adorable, and sweet tiny face belongs to Little Steven, or Stevie, to his friends. Stevie is a 14-pound Terrier mix, estimated to be between 1.5-2 years of age. Pal's Place rescued this little dude from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. He is now in a loving and nurturing foster home on Chicago's north side, patiently waiting to meet you. Stevie is a lap dog lover's dream! All this little fella wants to do is be held, cuddled, and loved on by his people. He can be a little bashful when meeting new people but is quickly put at ease by some gentle pets and kind words. Despite the serious look on his face in his photos, Stevie does have a silly side and loves to play, dart, and zoom around the yard in short bursts. Other interests include walks, chewing on bones, and sunbathing. He is being fostered in a home with several other dogs of all sizes and gets along well with all of his housemates. He's quiet and well-behaved in the home, crate trained, and does very well with his housebreaking when taken out on a regular schedule. Stevie, the lovely little lovebug will make one lucky household very happy! He is up-to-date with vaccines and taking monthly heartworm and flea prevention. He is scheduled to be neutered on 8/31, however, we are currently accepting applications for him now and will allow him to go to his new home prior to surgery provided his adopters can return him to our partner clinic in Chicago for his surgery date. His adoption fee to the rescue is $375. This fee helps to cover the medical care to prepare him for adoption. Little Stevie is in a foster home on Chicago's north side and can be visited by appointment only after an adoption application has been completed and approved. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for any reason. Please do not submit an adoption application unless you are ready to meet and welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying.

Pal's Place

Wilder is our second longest resident and has been in the care of Pal's Place for 10 months. He's a wonderful, quirky, affectionate guy with a ton of personality and character! While it's not obvious from his appearance, a DNA test revealed he's 50% German Shepherd with the other breeds being Boxer, Boston Terrier, and Corgi. While only half Shepherd in DNA, he's 100% Shepherd in temperament and behavior! He does not do well as the only dog in the home and will only be placed in a home with another dog as a companion. Like many Shepherds and other herding breeds, he has a mouthy, vocal, and full contact play style and would appreciate a buddy with a similar personality. His ideal guardians should also be experienced and familiar with herding breeds and their behavior and needs. We are including a link to his Petfinder profile with more information about his background and description of ideal home. Please share his photos in bio so we can get this sweetheart into the home he's been so patiently waiting for.

Chicago, IL – Adopt Wilder the German Shepherd/Boxer-Mix

Wilder is a sensitive, sweet, and soulful two-year-old 50-pound German Shepherd/Boxer-mix looking for the perfect guardian – with another dog in the home.

Wilder came from rural Kentucky and loves to play with people, and other dogs. He has discovered the comforts of the couch, toys, and loves trips to Prairie Wolf dog park. He enjoys long walks and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day with his favorite humans and canines.

He can be a little cautious and shy when meeting new people, but with a few kind words, a slow approach, and some gentle pets, he offers some tail wags and tons of kisses. Like his namesake, the actor and comedian Gene Wilder, Wilder has a really goofy and silly side and seems to enjoy making his humans laugh.

Quick movements and loud voices startle him and sometimes cause him to run, hide, urinate, and tremble in fear, even from people he's very comfortable with so he’s best with mindful adults. Wilder is well-behaved in the home and housebroken when kept on a regular schedule.

He doesn’t do well in a dog crate, but does do well with another dog in the home to keep him company. If you are interested in meeting wonderful Wilder, please fill out an application at palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ and follow up by contacting palsplace1@hotmail.com

Wilder’s adoption fee of $375 benefits Pal’s Place Rescue. He is very healthy, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. He is being fostered in Chicago, Illinois. ... See MoreSee Less
