Cecelia - Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Is there anything cuter than a puppy? Before you decide to take the plunge into raising a puppy, keep in mind the amount of commitment it takes to raise a puppy. Puppies are not housetrained; they don't know that shoes are not chew toys. Puppies won't know any of the cool tricks adult dogs know, like how to sit or walk on a leash. They need lots of patience, love, supervision, and proper socialization, too. A great way to bond with a new puppy would be to take a positive reinforcement-based class together. If you are up for the adventure of raising a puppy, swing by our adoption center on 510 N. LaSalle, to meet this sweetheart and their friends in person. We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the adoption process from start to finish. Learn more about hours & the adoption process at https:/anticruelty.org/adopt-info.
