Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

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

Matcha is a 4-month-old pup with the sweetest face and the kind of smile that's impossible to resist! She made her way to us from a partner rescue in Texas, where she arrived with her mom and siblings after an accidental litter. After spending a month growing big and strong, Matcha and her siblings made the journey to Wheeling in search of loving homes!

This adorable girl is full of puppy charm. She has the cutest ears and a constantly happy expression that makes it clear she's just thrilled to be here. Matcha loves playing with other dogs and would be a great fit for a home with a canine companion, though she'd also do well soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only.

Like any young puppy, Matcha is still learning the ropes and will benefit from continued training, structure, and patience as she grows. She's eager to please and ready to bond with her new family-whether that's through playtime, walks, or cozy evenings on the couch.

Don't miss your chance to meet this cutie!

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

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

Since she 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.
