Strauss - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

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

2-month-old Strauss arrived from southern Illinois with his mom and eight siblings at the start of September! They were sadly dumped at the local animal control when the pups were about 4.5 weeks old, and Heartland quickly scooped them up and brought them to our puppy suite!

Strauss is a total sweetie that just wants to soak up all the love and attention you are willing to offer him! When he isn't charming his way into human's hearts he loves playing with his siblings. Strauss is eager to learn and very treat motivated! He will make the perfect addition to any home!

Strauss' 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.
