Meet our Dog of the Week, Bolter! 🖤🤍

Looking for the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles? Say hello to Bolter—a 7-month-old mixed breed pup who's as charming as he is adorable. 🐶✨

With his black-and-white coat and soulful eyes, Bolter is the kind of dog who turns heads and steals hearts. He loves chasing after toys, soaking up playtime and taking leisurely sunset walks, but once the fun winds down, he's all about curling up next to you for a snuggle session 💤💛

Bolter is currently thriving in foster care and dreaming of his forever home. To help him get there, we’ve reduced his adoption fee to just $400—fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and ready to love. ❤️🏡

If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick with just the right amount of puppy s***k, Bolter’s your guy!

📣We’re still on the hunt for a reliable kennel attendant! 🐾

The position is a permanent part-time role for someone who’s not just great with dogs—but also reliable, organized and has a flexible schedule. 🐶💓

Please read our flyer for *all* of our requirements before applying! Once trained, a set schedule will be established—but we need someone who can be flexible while learning the ropes.

If you thrive on structure, don’t mind getting your hands dirty and believe every rescue pup deserves top-notch care, we’d love to hear from you! ♥️

In just over two weeks, we'll be at The Cove, Coal City Nutrition for a special adoption event on Monday, June 30 from 5-8pm! We'll be sharing our crew of adoptables who will be on site with us closer to the event date. 🐾🥰

During June, The Cove is also generously donating a portion of sales from the "paw-tea" to our rescue. 🫶

A big thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at our Prairie Paws adoption event at Prairiefest in Oswego! 💛🐾

Our adoptable pups had a pawsitively amazing day soaking up all the love—from endless pets and cuddles to stretching out during puppy yoga and napping peacefully in the grass. 😴 It was everything we could hope for (and more!) from a community adoption event. 💞

We’re thrilled to share that Laverne, Naft and Odie/Kind all found their forever families! 🏡✨

Still searching for your new best friend? Bobby, Benny and Randall (profile links below), who joined us at the event, are still available for adoption and would love to meet you. Email [email protected] to schedule your visit and give one of them the happy ending they deserve!

Thank you for supporting rescue and making days like this so special! 🐶🌿
