Gus
Chicago, ILBreed: Blond/apricot mix of everything!
Weight: 35 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Gus loves other dogs, as long as they aren’t too rambunctious. He is a super cuddly guy but takes a very very long time to warm up to strangers and is best if he is just ignored for a while until he decides you are cool. He needs humans who can be patient with him during the getting-to-know-you time and are willing to give him space and time to warm up.

Teddy is just like his name suggests: he’s the sweetest little cuddle buddy. He’s very attached to his mom who also loves to travel. He usually tags a long on these trips but Teddy does not like flying in planes. He is not a fan of most big dogs either but loves playing with small dogs.

Darla
Chicago, ILBreed: Mixed/Mutt
Weight: 25 lbs
Age: 10 years old
Gender: Female
Darla is a little dog who does not at all mind larger dogs. She likes wrestling, with breaks to play bow to make sure everyone knows it's all in fun. She is also very chill and enjoys naptime. It is rare for her to be left alone for any length of time. One or both owners are home pretty much all the time. We also have a teenage son who can provide company when he's not in school.

Everest and I live in an apartment building where I work from home 3 days a week. Everest is extremely affectionate (loves cuddling so much) and has never met a human or dog she doesn’t like. She’s energetic and prefers quieter areas with open spaces. Very eager to please, she makes very fast friends, not very much a judge of character lol. She’s very used to other dogs, having lived months at a time with several dogs in multiple home.

Diamond & Keelo
Chicago, ILBreed: Siberian Husky
Weight: 75 lbs
Age: 7 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Siberian Husky
Weight: 75 lbs
Age: 9 years old
Gender: Male
Hi! I am a PhD student and mother of a beautiful baby girl and 2 siberian huskies. We live in Avondale, Chicago with my husband and brother. We love going for walks around the neighborhood together, cooking, writing and reading. We also love nature and camping. Our dogs are 7 and 9 years old. Diamond has been with me since 3 months old, and Keelo was adopted. We took him in when his owner had to go live in an assisted living facility. They are good friends! Diamond is amazing with other dogs and is very chill overall. Keelo is good with other dogs though can be a bit nervous at first. Keelo can be protective of toys if other dogs try to take them (Diamond is very guilty of this), so we always supervise him with toys, or just keep toys away aside from when we are playing. Keelo loves saying hello when you get home from wherever you went off to. Diamond, on the other hand, is surprisingly extremely quiet. They enjoy their walks and food. They are both great with kids and any other people.
