Boomer est dob 10/31/2024 Chiweenie
Southern boy that came in with his litter mate Boom
Hi everyone, my name is Boomer. I came to SAIN Rescue from Kentucky. I was found abandoned in a home with my litter mate. No one knows how long we were alone and on our own. I sure am glad I'm in a warm, safe home, warm blankets, good food and water and lots of company. I was scared at first, but only for a very very short time. My foster mom and the volunteers showed me so much love and affection, I relaxed quickly. I am in a home with other dogs, some smaller, some bigger and some about the same size and I get along with all of them. I am a puppy as I am still under 2 years old, so I need help learning what I can chew on or "collect" because I tend to collect shoes LOL. I love my kongsickles. If you don't know what those are, my foster mom can let you know. I love to eat ice too. I am playful, loves my toys and balls. I really would like a fenced in yard because I LOVE to run around and play fetch, that was before it snowed. Oh, did someone say Snow? I love the snow. It doesn't stop me from running around in it. I can play independently. I think I would like a doggie buddy. I am almost completely housetrained. My foster mom uses a belly band on me and most times, it is dry. If I do have an accident, the belly band catches it and there is no mess. If you are interested in adopting me, please go to https://www.sainrescue.org/contact-us/adoption-application/ and complete the adoption application. Once reviewed, someone will contact you. You must live in Illinois and within about 50 miles from Bartlett. See you soon.
SOUTHERN BOY LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER FAMILY Harlow est dob 7/23/24 Aussie Shepherd X
Was living outside in Kentucky and survived the extreme weather.
Southern charm with beautiful blue eyes. Harlow was living outside in the winter in Kentucky when SAIN was able to rescue him from that situation. Harlow is gentle with all dogs of all sizes that he has met. Harlow is crate trained as that is his safe place. Harlow is also housetrained. He doesn’t like to meet new dogs on leash but when in the backyard, he gets really excited, like “Yay, I have another play buddy.” Harlow is about 43 lbs and has only met one dog around his size; all the others have been between 5.4 lbs to 27 lbs. He does love to run around in the yard with the other pups and can play inside with them too. Harlow would do best in a family with ages from teens and up. He needs another dog for company and confidence. We don’t know what happened to this pup, but he still holds his head low when first meeting people and when people first go to pet his head. However, he loves his belly rubs and gives everyone that vulnerable part of his body to say, “I really do trust you.” Although he lacks confidence, he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body but is scared and overwhelmed by young children. When walking on a leash, he can get overly excited and reactive on leash. However, he has responded very well to a pinch collar. It’s as if it makes him feel safe. This is a training issue, and Harlow is very receptive to training with the use of positive praise. Once he gets it, moving back to a martingale collar is recommended. If interested in meeting and possibly adopting Harlow, please go to https://www.sainrescue.org/applications-contact-us/adoption-application/ and complete the adoption application. Once reviewed, we will be in contact with you. Applicants must live in Illinois and within about 50 miles from Bartlett.

Sweet Pea, est dob 3/7/25, Dachshund mix
SOUTHERN BELL ANYONE! Looking for a loyal loving companion? Sweet Pea is your girl. She came from Kentucky and was timid at first but boy oh boy did she quickly learn she could trust her foster mom. We will never know what Sweet Pea’s first year of life was like for her, but we do know what a loving dog she has become. Sweet Pea has become an affectionate Velcro dog, following her foster mom everywhere she goes. She is the perfect companion who gives kisses, loves snuggles and has a big smile. Sweet Pea is strong and athletic, loving to run in the yard and go on some good daily walks. She might even enjoy some agility training if that’s your thing. She has done well in her foster home with all the dogs and the new dogs coming into the home on a regular basis. However, Sweet Pea does not like to meet dogs while on leash. She can get leash frustrated, so careful introductions are important. What’s Sweet Pea’s ideal forever home? She would do best with older children, 12 and up or just adults. She would love a yard with a fence with plenty of outside time with you. She can be an only dog or have a companion given the introductions are done correctly. Sweet Pea loves her walks but needs training to work on her leash frustration or you just walk her when no one is around. She is getting better on walks every day. Baby steps as we don’t think she was ever on leash before coming to us. She is still a puppy as she’s under 2 years old, so very trainable and not set in her ways. Sweet Pea is smart! Take advantage of her intelligence and train her well. Sweet Pea is fully vetted and ready for adoption. If interested in adopting Sweet Pea, please go to https://www.sainrescue.org/applications-contact-us/adoption-application/ and complete the adoption application. Once reviewed, we will contact you to schedule a meeting. Applicants must live in Illinois and within about 50 miles from Bartlett.

Cara, est dob 7/11/25, Great Dane/Belgian Shepherd Malinois
Cara is a young mix breed dog. We were told she was a Great Dane mix but who knows. She's 26 lbs (although she should be 30-35 lbs) and getting the food and nutrition she needs now, so she is gaining weight slowly. Cara is a very loving girl who craves affection and wants to be around people. Cara is great with kids, adults, and other dogs. She was found in KY and would have been euthanized had we not pulled her. She is grateful for her life and wants to please. She attached to her foster mom almost instantly. She acclimated to all the dogs in her foster home immediately too. Cara has a cheerful disposition. She enjoys walks and is good on a leash. We imagine she would love to learn to play fetch. She can be goofy at times, which makes her that much more adorable. If interested in adopting Cara, please go to our website and complete the adoption application.
