Aries - Black Labrador Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

If you're looking for a laid-back approach to life (where you still go on a couple of walks every day), an older dog might be right for you. This dog has a good bit of life under their belt and knows who they are. Older dogs are often potty trained and in a more relaxed place in life - they don't necessarily need the training courses and basic skills that younger dogs often need to be successful. Older dogs already are successful! They just want to get out of the shelter and retire with you. If long (and slow) walks on the beach, reading and watching TV on the couch, and some light playtime sounds good to you, it does to our older dogs as well. Meet this sweetheart and all their friends in person at 510 N. LaSalle today! We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the adoption process from start to finish.
