Funny Feathery..this girl is an absolute hoot! She is one of those dogs that you can't help but smile and laugh around. She's a local girl - she was a stray who had been brought to Chicago Animal Care and Control when we met and rescued her. It as love at first sight when we saw her videos with her human handlers and with other dogs, and in person she was even better.

She came to Heartland with a cold, and has been nursed back to health. She's so happy to run and play now! She's a young and rowdy player with other similar dog friends, and really has been friendly meeting all the dogs we've introduced her to. She's confident and outgoing, and makes friends wherever she goes.

Feathery participated in our Slumber Pawty (check out her PJ pics!) and spent the weekend at a volunteer's home. Here is what they had to say about Feathery:

"First thing: Feathery wants to be around people! She stayed by my side for the entire weekend. She is very curious and we spent a lot of time sniffing around and identifying all the new smells. On several of these walks they became runs. She seemed to be in her happy place running around my complex. Feathery loves to play, she will initiate playing several times in the day. In the same respect, she loves to cuddle up to people and just relax. She has the cutest little snores."

This lovely lady is ready to be a part of a family, please ask about her today!

Feathery's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

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.
