Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Crouton is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours!

Crouton came to us with his momma, Ensalada, and his 7 siblings from Texas in mid- April at just 3 weeks old. Ensalada and her pups arrived in rough shape, they were flea infested and anemic. Thankfully, they recovered in no time and are now healthy and ready to find their forever homes!

Crouton has the cutest puppy dog eyes that lure you in and instantly make you want to cuddle him! Crouton is the epitome of play hard and relax hard. This boy loves to run around with his siblings and explore new things (like the baby pool), but then is ready to curl up and soak up all the love! If you are looking for a lover of a pup, Crouton is your guy and we hope you will come and meet him soon!

Crouton's adoption fee is $450. This animal is neutered, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age.

They will need a rabies vaccine at 4 months of age and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet.

Since he is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
