Bitsy

Bitsy is a small terrier mix girl, maybe jack russell? She was pulled from a horrible situation down in Southern IL. Her rescuer said she had never seen a house so bad before! These poor dogs were living in this hell. She is short and stubby, about 15 pounds, and estimated to be about 5 or 6 years old. We cleaned her up and you should see how happy she is now in her new foster home! Little Bitsy is super friendly and sweet to everyone she meets and likes to roll on her back for belly rubs. She is dog and cat friendly also. She has typical terrier energy and would love a yard to run around in and some nice long walks. She still needs some leash training and obedience training, but she's smart and will train up nicely. If you're looking for a pint-sized new family member that will be forever grateful to be part of a loving family, Bitsy is waiting for you! You couldn't find a more deserving dog!

 

Meet Marissa!

This little glamour girl is about 3 years old, and oh what a beauty she is with her long, flowing gray and white fur! Don't worry about the long hair, she is easy to take care of. She never gets knots! She is quite the socialite, very friendly, and specializes in purring. She loves being in the spotlight and will take all the attention you give her. She's looking for a new place to call home with a comfy bed and some good food. She will shower you with affection.

... Creating Families,
            4 Paws At A Time

Every day innocent pets are left homeless and abandoned in Chicagoland. Adopt-A-Pet has found loving homes for over 14,000 of those cats and dogs.

If you are looking for a family pet, consider adopting a wonderful pet from Adopt-A-Pet. Most of our cats and dogs are kept in foster homes, where they live as part of a family. Not only is this beneficial for the animal, but it also helps us create a purrfect match between an animal and a prospective adopter.
