Astrid's Story

Hi, I'm Astrid! I was found wandering downstate, and I came up to WSHS hoping to find a forever home. I'm an athletic, energetic girl who would do best in an active household. I'd make a great running partner, and my intelligent, curious nature suggests I will learn my obedience skills quickly. My personality is friendly, playful, driven, and affectionate. When I really like someone, I stand on their lap and press my face against their face! I love people of all ages, but I should be monitored around children because I'm not particularly careful when I get excited- I might accidentally knock somebody over! I can jump very high, so my new home should either have a secure, high fence, or my family should stick to walks or use long-leashes and always supervise me in the backyard. I can be friendly with other dogs, but I can be a little fearful at first, so I might do best as an only dog while I establish myself in my new home. I do well with dog savvy cats. Calmer animals, both dogs and cats, will have a better chance of earning my friendship, as I get intimidated easily right now. If you are looking for an active dog to take on all your adventures, apply to meet me today!<br/><br/>Special Requirements: Cannot be left unattended outside unless in a secure yard with a high fence, dog selective, dog-savvy cats only

Dog and cat adoptions are the foundation of our mission and the services we offer. After more than 48 years of helping find compatible and loving homes for the animals in our care, we still have a lot more to do. There are thousands of homeless animals in the Chicagoland area waiting to find homes.
