Hi there! My name is Grumpy, but don’t let my name fool you—I’m a sweet girl with a heart full of love. Let me tell you a bit about myself! I absolutely love kids and strangers, and I get along great with other dogs. I haven’t been tested with cats yet, but I’m sure I’d be open to making new friends. I have a medium activity level, so I enjoy a good balance of playtime and relaxation. I’d do well in a home with other dogs and children, but I’d also be perfectly happy as a single dog in a home with a loving owner who enjoys kisses. There are some adorable things about me that might just make you fall in love. I’m a total lover and will kiss your face all day if you let me. I adore snuggling on your chest or in the crook of your arm. And when I get excited, I hop around like a baby bunny—it’s the cutest thing ever! If you’re looking for a loving and affectionate companion who’s great with kids and other dogs, I might just be the perfect match for you. Let’s meet and see if we’re meant to be together! She/He is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. We cannot hold our dogs for any reason. Unless the dog or puppy is fully vetted we will only consider applications that are within 1 hour or 40 miles of Lemont, IL. This is due to the required vetting at our partner veterinarians. If the dog or puppy is fully vetted we will allow adoptions out of state or outside of our 1 hour or 40 mile restriction. Please do not apply unless you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into the home within five days of approval. ADOPTION FEE: $500 (includes spay/neuter must be done when the rescue schedules it at one of our partner vets, microchip, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease ) and a general wellness which includes dewormer, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention) *Please understand that we will spay/neuter no younger than 16 weeks but it is the rescue's discretion when the dog will get that procedure. We know that some veterinarians recommend waiting depending on the breed's projected size but as a rescue, our goal is to prevent further unwanted, "accidental" litters. Spaying and neutering also have many benefits for cancer prevention and avoiding behavioral problems. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay and neuter procedures for cats and dogs as early as 8-16 weeks of age. We always assess and speak with our partner vets when is the best time to perform this procedure. Interested? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt
