BEWARE!! There are many 'rescues' that are nothing more than glorified puppy brokers!

Be sure that ANY animal you adopt is fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, and all necessary shots and tests. Reputable rescues include all this, and more!  You don't want to fall victim to 'puppies for profit' from a non-legitimate rescue!
The below listed dogs are courtesy posting for other shelters and rescues.  Please contact them for more information as the adoption will be through their organizations.

Chloie

Picture
Chloie is a female malamute that was relinquished to our animal control officer in Dec. 2014. She was badly neglected.....left in a crate in a pile of her own feces and hair and hadn't been fed for weeks.  The dog housed in the crate next to her had died before he could be rescued.  She is a 2 yr old and she weighed only 25 lbs the day she came to us. With some TLC and lots of prescription food, she now weighs 37 lbs. She has a wonderful friendly personality towards people. She knows basic obedience commands and will also shake hands. She likes to cuddle up close to her person and is quite vocal. She likes to do the "malamute singing" while she snuggles. Unfortunately, Chloie does not enjoy the company of other dogs or cats. She would need to be in an "only dog" household. Her adoption fee would be $100. She has been heartworm tested, dewormed  and has all her current vaccinations.  Please call the Polo Animal Hospital at 815-946-2417 for questions or adoption information.
