We can only consider applicants who live in Illinois, Southeast Wisconsin (Madison & Milwaukee south), or Northwest Indiana (South Bend & Rensselaer west).

We do not adopt dogs to families who live outside this geographical area and we do not "ship" rescue dogs. All applicants within this geographical area must be able to physically travel to northern Illinois to meet/adopt a rescue dog. We like to keep our rescue dogs near us for peace of mind and post-adoption follow-up. There are shelter dogs in every state dying for good homes, therefore it is not practical for us to go through extraordinary efforts to place a dog several hundred miles away. We do not make exceptions to this policy under any circumstances.

Emma

Emma is a sweet 6-year-old girl who loves the creature comforts. Give her a cushy bed and a few treats, and she's smiling. Emma loves people. She's initially a little cautious around men, but gets over it quickly if shown a little gentleness. Then she just loves to be petted. Wherever you are, she'll want to be at your side, with your hand rubbing her head. She thinks she's a lap dog at times and doesn't apparently realize she's a biscuit short of 100 lbs. Emma also likes other dogs, but needs to be the leader of the pack. Emma often acts more like a young girl of 2 with lots of playful behaviors, than a sedate adult. This girl is not a couch potato by any means. Once she gets to know you, she'll be eager to show you her zest for life. If you are interested in adopting a Great Pyrenees, please fill out an adoption application.
