Dorito's Story

Dorito is a little over a year old and one seriously lovable guy! Found as a stray in Southern Illinois, he is now neutered, potty trained, crate trained, and ready to find his forever family.<br/><br/>Dorito LOVES his people and is incredibly affectionate. If you let him, he'll happily jump into your lap for snuggles and cover you with kisses. If you're not in the mood? No worries, he'll go lie down and take one of his very serious naps. <br/><br/>But say the word "walk" and Dorito is ready to GO! He loves exploring, sniffing everything, and stalking rabbits. He gets very excited about walks and may run circles around his foster family when it's time to go. Once home, though, he settles nicely and is happy to relax. He could make a great walking or running buddy and might even enjoy nose work or agility.<br/><br/>Dorito enjoys car rides, peanut butter, salmon treats, and being wherever his foster family is. He's not particularly interested in toys yet, although he's recently started chewing on a rope toy and stuffie. He's also food-motivated and doesn't seem interested in stealing people food—he's more of a grazer when it comes to his meals.<br/><br/>He's still learning his manners and doesn't appear to know many commands yet, but he's young, treat-motivated, and very trainable. When excited, he may mouth your hands (but doesn't nip) and sometimes jumps up to greet people. He's been gentle with children, but older kids may be the better fit because of his enthusiastic greetings.<br/><br/>Dorito is still learning about other dogs and may bark at dogs who bark at him or at larger dogs he sees on walks. He may benefit from a confident dog friend who can help show him the ropes, with proper introductions and continued socialization.<br/><br/>Dorito would do well with a single person, couple, or family. He especially enjoys the company of men. <br/><br/>This sweet boy is the perfect combination of snuggly couch potato and enthusiastic adventure buddy. If you're looking for a dog who will happily follow you around, go for a long walk, come home for a nap, and then climb into your lap for kisses, Dorito might just be your guy! <br/><br/> <br/><br/>Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs! https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue

REACH Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
If a particular pooch has caught your eye or if you’re searching for a new furry family member, take a few minutes to complete our online adoption application or stop by our Adoption Events to visit with our adoptable pups. Adoption Events are held on Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM at our storefront Adoption Center, located at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein. We are also available to schedule individual Meet-and-Greet appointments during the week. Our application review team will contact you as they process your application and check with your references. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, but our primary responsibility is to find the best home for each individual dog and the best match for you and your family regardless of application order. We want to see that every animal and family are well-suited as a forever match. Our adoption fees vary by the animal’s age and specific breed. All adopted dogs will receive vaccinations against distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus, as well as flea/tick treatments and de-worming. Dogs who are too young to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated against rabies will receive vouchers to one of our local veterinary partners. Please contact us with any additional questions! We are available by phone at 847-566-6799, through our website, or through direct messaging on Facebook. We’re happy to answer any questions and work with you as you search for your new family member!
