Sweet Lil Miss is a timid girl, until she gets to know you, but once she trusts you she is your companion for life! She knows sit, stay, outside, potty, no, and is house trained. She has never been in a crate and is fine left alone in the house but prefers to go with you. She loves to curl up next to you. Lil Miss really is a sweet well behaved dog!

Lil Miss, was sadly an owner surrender (no fault of hers), therefore we are made aware she has some allergies, and can only have beef flavor food, allergic to cats, and may require allergy medicine from time to time.

He loves to sleep right next to you on the bed, and anywhere he can snuggle next to you. He loves to play fetch with any toy. He knows sit. He loves to just be loved.

No fault of her own, Chloe was surrendered to our local Sangamon County Animal Control & Adoption Center. Chloe is shy, but loving girl. Slow to warm up, but as soon as she feels safe, she will cuddle and lick your face with approval.

She loves the couch, the bed, and anywhere we can snuggle next to you. Her safe space is her crate. She’s great with kids. She loves to play fetch with any toy. She’s a sucker for peanut butter.

🩷Share the LOVE of FOSTERING this February🩷

“I would foster, but…”

“I can’t afford it.”

WILD pays for ALL food, vetting, and necessary dog-related items (bowls, crate, collar, and leash) for our adoptables. Fosters bear NO financial responsibility. We only ask our fosters to include our dogs as members of their families until they find a forever family to call home.

“I would just want to keep all of the dogs.”

Maybe, but probably not. We encourage fosters to take the mindset of welcoming our dogs into their homes as temporary house guests, like your favorite cousin visiting for a holiday. They have a great time and you love having them around, but you remember they have to eventually leave to go home.

“I don’t know how my dog would react.”

We have the ability to match fosters with dogs that fit their lifestyle. If you have an alpha dog - we can match you with a submissive dog. If you have a small dog - we can match you with a smaller dog. If your dog is skittish - we’ll match you with a low energy senior. If your dog doesn’t like male dogs - we’ll get you a female adoptable. We never force volunteers to foster dogs that are harmful to their family. We can carefully introduce your dog to an adoptable in a slow and meticulous way to ensure a better likelihood of success.

“I don’t think I have the time.”

Giving a dog a warm bed and full belly does wonders to a dog’s confidence and sense of comfort. We don’t ask fosters to take time off from their jobs, to miss family functions, or prioritize hours upon hours of playtime above all else. Giving a dog a temporary home for a short period of time will give you the warmest of warm fuzzies even if you have a busy lifestyle.

We are looking to add to our foster family! If you are interested in helping a dog in need, submit a foster application here:
