💔 R***r Update 💔

Our sweet senior boy, R***r, is unfortunately starting to show his age.

Over the last several days, his back legs have become noticeably weaker, making it difficult for him to get up and move around on his own. Despite that, R***r still enjoys soaking up the sunshine, lounging in a comfy spot, and being close to his people.

At this point, R***r is looking for a very special person willing to open their heart and home to a hospice foster or adopter. He deserves a soft bed, a quiet environment, and someone who understands that his time may be limited but that every day he has left is worth making comfortable and full of love.

After everything he’s been through, we would love nothing more than for R***r to spend his remaining days surrounded by kindness instead of kennel walls.

If you think you could give this gentle old man the peaceful retirement he deserves, please reach out to us.

💙Ready for adoption! 12-year-old Moses is all of the best parts of a dog wrapped into a tiny, silly package. This sweet senior is outgoing, goofy, and has never met a stranger. Moses loves other dogs and children, but can be a bit too rough for certain cats. He loves people, toys, food, and can always find a lap to sit on. Moses is house trained and sleeps in a crate overnight, but happily wears a belly band in new places. Now that Moses has had a dental and been neutered, he is ready for a home! He is currently being fostered near Champaign, IL. Apply to adopt: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NWMN/Dog

🩷ADOPTED🩷 It didn’t take long for Stella to win numerous hearts when we posted her for adoption a few days ago. She went to her forever home today and we know it’ll be a happy ending for all. Thank you Kate for fostering and Nora for choosing senior pet adoption!

💞UPDATE: ADOPTED

Ready for Adoption! Stella is a sweet and silly 12-year-old senior looking for her forever home. After her owner tragically passed away, Stella entered an overcrowded shelter and quickly went into a foster home. Stella is 7.5lbs and loves to be around other animals. She regularly cuddles with other dogs and cats of all ages. Stella’s favorite activity is guarding the yard from squirrels, birds, and the occasional leaf. Since coming to us, she has been spayed, had a tumor removed, and had dental work done. Stella is well-behaved in the house, and enjoys cuddling on the couch and in bed. She is house trained and although she is not a big fan of it, she sleeps through the night in her crate. Stella is looking for a home to snuggle, play, and frolic through the rest of her senior years. She is currently being fostered near Champaign, IL.

Howie was a model patient today for his visit with Dr. Tammy at Animal Hospital of McHenry. We had X-rays done to see why his rear end mobility is so poor (and had our suspicions based on him being 100% p**p incontinent). Howie has bad arthritis in his back right knee and in his lower spine at the base of his tail. X-rays also revealed IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) mid-spine. Unfortunately, this all means Howie’s mobility will likely continue declining with time and our focus is ongoing pain management and support. He still zooms around quicker than most other seniors and you wouldn’t know anything was wrong based on his permanent smile. 💙

We love productive vet days and Moses is recovering well after a busy day!

✅ Senior bloodwork (normal)
✅ Neuter
✅ Dental (some rotten teeth now gone)

This little 7lb guy will make a great companion and we hope to have an adoption status soon.
