Cat-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Springfield, IL: 21 Dogs Good with Cats

She's always up for an adventure, whether it's going for walks, riding in the car, or enjoying some time in the yard. Throw in a game of fetch, and you've found her happy place! She loves her toys, too, especially her favorite Subaru car toy. And when playtime is over, she's more than happy to settle in for some cuddles.

Lady has also done wonderfully around children of different ages, including an 18-month-old and a 5-year-old who played ball with her. She's been a great family companion, but there is one thing she wants to make clear: she would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Lady wants to be your one and only princess, and she's perfectly happy keeping all that love to herself!

Lady is carrying some extra weight, so she'll need a family committed to helping her reach and maintain a healthier weight through appropriate exercise and nutrition.

Honestly, Lady has so much going for her. She's sweet, fun, affectionate, and ready to be someone's very special girl. Whoever welcomes this amazing lady home is getting one heck of a companion!

Her minimum adoption fee is $400 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.

Ivory is one of the best dogs I’ve come across, she’s the best snuggle buddy and loves to snuggle up with you on the couch, she loves to go on walks and always up for an adventure, she’s completely house broke, loves her crate, loves other dogs and would love a play mate that can help show her around her new home. She loves kids (which also means she wants to be very close to them and lick their face) with some boundaries set she will make the best family dog! She also does great with strangers coming in the house. She is said to be good with cats, although I’ve not seen this, I don’t doubt it one bit!

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.

A home with no small kids would be best, but with at least 1 other dog is preferable.

George's foster mom says he has a bit of a hard time focusing, but once he gets some energy out, he really wants to please and tries hard to follow instructions. He already knows "sit," “off,” and how to walk on his hind legs. He’s working on "down" and "settle." He’s very food- and toy-motivated, which makes training extra fun!

Once the day's adventures are over, George turns into a snuggle bug. After running, playing, exploring, and perhaps getting into a little mischief (shredding paper is a favorite past-time), he loves nothing more than curling up close to his people for a cozy nap.

George has done well with young children, although he hasn't been exposed to babies or toddlers. He loves everyone and every animal he meets—even when they aren't quite as enthusiastic about him! He’s been great about sharing toys, is submissive with cats and other dogs, and hasn't shown any interest in the resident bunnies.

Are you looking for an adventure buddy, playmate, training partner, and professional cuddler? This handsome guy may be your perfect match! His adoption fee has been sponsored, there is a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

He has been fully vetted, including a senior blood panel, is current on his vaccinations, and has received a clean bill of health.Tate quickly bonds with anyone who shows him love and comfort, and he’s proven to be quite the homebody. In fact, he wasted no time making himself comfortable, so comfortable that he even tried to steal one of the cats’ beds! Now that he’s in his golden years, Tate would be happiest in a calmer home with older children or no children. What he really wants is a soft place to land, someone to love, and a family who will give him the peaceful, happy retirement he deserves.After everything he’s been through, Tate is ready for the next chapter—and we think it should be his best one yet.

She would do best in a home with an active family as she wants to be right there in the action. She is used to having another dog for companionship and to play with so a home with another dog is a us she is also used to someone being home quite a bit so not do well being left alone for a full day
Bean is adorable and would make a great addition to a family but please understand the cost and time commitment a puppy requires. Serious inquiries only.

I love naps and being near my foster mom and dad. I currently have to share them with 2 younger cats and while I tolerate them, I'd probably do better with older cats who just like to chill or no cats at all.

I'm working on my potty training and being crated while everyone is gone during the day. I definitely don't like being crated at night.

If you have patience to help me master my pottying and are looking for an older gal who will be your best friend then look no further because you've found me.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

Pinto Bean’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Pippin is a 2-year-old curious, kind-hearted pup who truly wants to make his human happy. His storyline almost ended far too soon. Pippin was pulled from the euthanasia list after experiencing extremely high levels of stress in the shelter environment. Now that he’s out of the shelter, he has the opportunity to show who he really is—and he’s already making incredible progress.

Pippin is smart, treat-motivated, eager to learn, and looking for someone who will give him the confident, consistent leadership he needs to thrive.

He is already crate trained, potty trained, and housebroken, and he is friendly with both cats and dogs. He loves learning and responds especially well to treats, praise, structure, and clear direction.

Pippin does best when his person takes the lead and shows him what is expected. With a confident handler, he walks well on leash and is making wonderful progress with his training. In just one week, he has already learned cues for turning and release, and he is currently working on leash skills and redirection.

The shelter environment was incredibly difficult for Pippin, but it did not define him. Outside of that stressful setting, he is showing that he is curious, kind, capable, and eager to connect with his person.

Pippin isn’t looking to be the one in charge—he’s looking for a human he can trust to guide him. Give him structure, consistency, patience, and kindness, and he’ll give you an eager student who genuinely wants to get it right.

Gomez is a great dog who has been through a lot, he lost his home, he lost most of his beautiful fluffy hair due to a much-needed grooming, but don’t worry it’s growing back, he’s lost his hearing most likely to old age and he recently lost most of his remaining teeth due to neglect. He has a few back teeth left and this has not affected his eating.

Gomez is pretty healthy and happy for an old guy, with just the normal aches and pains of an elderly dog due to some arthritis in his legs. He does sometimes have a slight cough due to a slightly softened trachea, but otherwise no other symptoms. He gets along fine, just more slowly than a younger dog. He would do best in a home with few to no stairs and with someone who is home a lot. He’s great with the other small dogs and cats in his foster home. Gomez will need to go to a home with a fenced in yard, no exceptions.

He is potty trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside to potty. He does like spending time in the yard just walking around and checking things out so he will need a fence. Most of all he loves snoozing in his dog bed.

This little man is extremely sweet and deserves to find a home that appreciates all his good qualities. His foster knows his perfect home is out there.

He’s still very much a young dog and has plenty of energy to burn. A securely fenced yard is important for Uno, giving him a safe place to run and play while he continues working on his leash skills. He also has a strong prey drive, so a home without small animals would be the best fit. His favorite hobbies currently include fetch, chewing, and occasionally landscaping the yard, so his new family should be prepared to provide plenty of exercise and appropriate outlets for his energy.

Uno is house trained, although he may have an occasional accident while adjusting to a new routine. He’s friendly with people and dogs and can live with cats, although his idea of respecting a cat’s personal space is still a work in progress. He can also be quite the neighborhood watchman, enthusiastically announcing interesting noises and activity outside. His volume is impressive, so he’ll do best with a family who won’t mind a dog who likes to share his opinions.

Uno can get overly excited and may jump up or nibble during play, and he’s still learning that shoes aren’t chew toys, so older kids or teenagers would likely be the best fit. With continued training, plenty of activity, and a canine buddy to help keep him company, Uno has all the makings of a wonderful, fun-loving companion.

His minimum adoption fee is $250 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Patch has been patiently waiting for his forever family while completing heartworm treatment, and he is almost finished! We’re so excited for him to finally get the chance to enjoy all the fun and adventures that come with being a beloved family dog.

While we haven’t gotten to see much of Patch’s active side during treatment, we believe he would love a family who enjoys being on the go and including their dog in the fun. He’ll likely need some leash training as he gets back into his active lifestyle, but his love of treats and eagerness to please should make learning new skills a rewarding experience for everyone.

At home, Patch is a wonderful mix of playful and cuddly. He enjoys playing with dog toys, other dogs, and kids, but his favorite activities are chewing on Benebones and curling up on a cozy couch or bed. He loves being part of the family and would be thrilled to have a home where he can spend time with his people.

Patch is incredibly treat-motivated and already knows how to sit and wait for his food and treats. With his enthusiasm for snacks, we think he would have a blast learning more tricks and showing off his skills. His new family can help him continue building confidence, learning new things, and becoming the best version of himself.

One important thing to know about Patch: he has discovered that chain-link fences 4 feet or shorter are no match for his athletic abilities! For his safety, he would do best with a wooden/privacy fence or a fence that is at least 6 feet tall. A securely fenced yard would be ideal, as Patch loves spending time outside and being part of whatever his family is doing.

With his wiggly nub of a tail, gentle heart, and love for just about everyone, Patch has so much to offer his forever family. He’s ready to trade heartworm treatment for belly rubs, Benebones, and a couch to call his own.

Could Patch be your newest family member? Send us an application! We would love for you to meet this sweet boy and see if he’s the perfect match for your family.
