Phoebe will need a calm, adult-only home with an adopter who understands that earning her trust won't happen overnight. She is also a flight risk, so a secure, fenced yard is a must. Her family will need to be especially careful around open doors and take extra precautions to keep her safe.

Meet Plum!

A confident, friendly dog in the home is highly recommended—having a steady role model will help Plum feel safe, learn to socialize, and settle into her new environment.

14. Coraline
Meet Coraline, a sweet and sensitive Great Pyrenees mix puppy who is still figuring out this big, busy world! Born around July 9, 2026, and weighing about 19 pounds, Coraline is a tenderhearted little girl who sometimes needs a little extra reassurance when things feel scary.
Once she feels safe, Coraline is a happy, playful pup who loves toys, other dogs, hanging out in the yard, and, perhaps best of all, curling up in your lap for cuddles. She’s wonderful with the kids in her foster home, gets along with cats, and has been a quiet little companion. She also becomes quite attached to her person and loves following along to stay close.
Read more about Coraline
Coraline is still working on house-training and does great in her crate. Outdoor potty breaks can be tricky when every little noise catches her attention, so she’ll need a patient person who can help her build confidence at her own pace. Car rides aren't her favorite either, and they can make her a little carsick.
This little girl is looking for an experienced dog owner who understands that confidence doesn't happen overnight. With patience, gentle guidance, and someone she can trust to show her that the world isn't so scary, we think Coraline will blossom into a wonderful companion. She doesn't need a perfect world. She just needs the right person to help her feel safe in it.
Her minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.
She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

16. Ross
Meet Ross, a 2-year-old Mini Poodle mix weighing about 18 pounds! This happy little guy is basically a walking party with four paws! Friendly, outgoing, and always ready for fun, Ross has never met a toy he didn't like or an opportunity for playtime he wanted to pass up. He's perfectly happy entertaining himself or romping around with his dog friends, and he's still figuring out that humans can be pretty fun playmates, too!
Read more about Ross
Ross is an affectionate little sweetheart who loves climbing into laps and soaking up snuggles once he's finished with his adventures. He's also a bit of a wild child who believes just about everything is a potential toy, so there's never a dull moment when he's around! He's still working on the whole obedience thing (sit? come? Those sound like suggestions to Ross!), but he's got plenty of personality to make up for his lack of formal manners.
Ross gets along with other dogs and cats, enjoys playing in the yard, and is learning to be a good little leash walker. He's looking for a family ready for all the fun, silliness, and occasional puppy shenanigans that come with him.
If you're looking for a cheerful companion who will keep you laughing, keep you on your toes, and happily climb into your lap when the fun is over, Ross is your guy! His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

17. Chandler
Meet Chandler - a 2-year old, 12 pound Mini Poodle mix! This handsome boy is full of energy, personality, and plenty of puppy antics! He's a playful guy who loves his toys, enjoys romping around with his dog friends, and has enough energy to keep you entertained with his frequent zoomie sessions. He gets along with both big and small dogs and even cats!
Read more about Chandler
Chandler can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he builds a bond with you, his confident, affectionate side comes shining through. He's a loyal little shadow who loves being near his favorite person, and when playtime is over, he's more than happy to curl up for some snuggles. He especially enjoys cuddling with his canine buddies, too!
Chandler is still learning about the world and would benefit from a patient, committed adopter who can help him continue building confidence through positive training, consistency, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. He'd love a home with another playful dog to show him the ropes, a securely fenced yard where he can burn off some of that endless puppy energy, and someone who appreciates a dog with a big personality and an even bigger case of the zoomies.
If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep life interesting and save you a spot on the couch (and probably in your bed), Chandler might just be your guy! His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

18. Winnie
Meet Winnie, a tiny 7-pound Chihuahua with a tender heart and a whole lot of feelings. At 2 years old, Winnie is a nervous little girl who needs a patient, understanding person willing to let her learn that the world can be a safe place.
Read more about Winnie
Winnie takes time to trust people, and she isn't the kind of dog who will immediately run up asking for attention. She can be easily startled and retreats when she feels unsure, so she needs an adopter who will respect her boundaries and never rush her. Being picked up is particularly scary for Winnie, and while she may tolerate it if necessary, she is much happier when all four tiny feet stay on the ground. She needs someone who understands that her quirks are part of who she is and is willing to work at her pace.
But underneath that nervous exterior is a very sweet girl who desperately wants to love and trust her people. Food is definitely the way to Winnie's heart, and she'll gently take treats right from your hand. Once she feels comfortable with you, she'll happily snuggle beside you on the couch, enjoy some gentle pets, and burrow under a blanket like the tiniest little burrito. She also loves chewing on bones, playing with other small dogs, and simply hanging out at home with her people.
Winnie is housetrained and, once she's comfortable, is a pretty easygoing little companion. She would do best in a quiet home with few visitors and people who understand that trust takes time. A secure fenced yard is required because Winnie will run if she becomes frightened. Another small, friendly dog would be a wonderful companion for her and may help her feel more secure.
Winnie isn't looking for someone who expects her to become a confident little social butterfly overnight. She's looking for someone who will celebrate the tiny victories: the first time she approaches without being called, the first couch cuddle, the first time she chooses to stay instead of running away. With patience, kindness, consistency, and time, we believe Winnie can continue discovering just how wonderful it feels to be loved. Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.
She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

19. Captain Morgan
Meet Captain Morgan, a handsome little Heeler mix ready to set sail for his forever home!
Captain Morgan was born around August 6, 2026, and currently weighs about 5–6 pounds. He is expected to grow into a medium-sized adult. Like any puppy, he is curious, playful, social, and ready to learn all about the world around him.
Read more about Captain Morgan
As a Heeler mix, Captain Morgan will thrive in an active home that understands these dogs need more than just a few walks around the block. He will need plenty of physical exercise as well as activities that keep his smart little brain busy. Training, interactive toys, games, and opportunities to learn new things will help him grow into a happy, well-rounded adult.
Captain Morgan is still a puppy, which means his forever family should be prepared for all the fun that comes with puppyhood, including house training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and learning appropriate puppy manners. He may be small right now, but there is a lot of growing and learning ahead!
If you are looking for a puppy who can grow right alongside you and become your adventure buddy for years to come, Captain Morgan would love to meet you. His minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

Meet Droopy — the Wiggly, Happy-Go-Lucky Kid
Droopy is a young, energetic boy with a sweet, friendly personality and a whole lot of happy-go-lucky charm. He is a 1 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever Mix. He’s wiggly, enthusiastic, and just a tad ADD, but that’s part of what makes him so endearing. He even seems to know “sit” — as long as you can keep his attention long enough to show it off.
He’s way cuter than his photos let on, and his joyful, upbeat nature makes him a delight to be around. Droopy is the kind of dog who brings instant smiles and keeps life fun with his spirited, lovable presence.
