 Bogie is a very playful two-year-old, 16-pound, male, black and tan Dachshund looking for a loving guardian.
 
Bogie does best with females of all species: dogs and humans. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky where he was found as a stray, Bogie appears to have flashbacks of being abused. When cornered or frightened, Bogie can bite, so he’s looking for a dog-experienced Dachshund-lover to take him under their wing for gentle, yet strong leadership.
 
Bogie is looking for a quiet home where someone has time to work on his trust issues. He is a fun dog, but not good with children or cats. He’s quiet, so he’d be fine in an apt, condo, house or townhouse.
 
Bogie is housebroken, good on leash, loves car rides, and is very healthy, de-wormed, neutered, heart worm-tested, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. His adoption fee of $150 benefits the Coalition to End Animal Suffering. To meet and possibly adopt him, please contact his foster mom Julie at dogcrazy623@comcast.net or 847-497-3061.

 Kiki is a very special, handsome, regal, calm, and affectionate, 10-year-old, 12-pound (thin) male, Maine Coon cat looking for a loving guardian. 

Kiki was left homeless when his elderly human passed away. He loyally stayed with his body for two weeks in the house until his death was discovered. Neighbor’s heard the cat’s cries through the window and Kiki was rescued.

He lost a lot of weight during his ordeal but survived by drinking water from a bucket collecting water during the recent heavy rains. Kiki is a very loving and lovable cat who is fine with other cats, but he does not like dogs.

He likes to find quiet and dark hiding places, but comes out immediately when called. He loves sitting in windowsills, and snuggling in bed with his human. Kiki uses his litter box like a good boy, is non-destructive and doesn’t scratch furniture.

He is hoping for a situation like he had before … in a home, without dogs with a devoted human, and perhaps another cat.

He is neutered, up-to-date on rabies and distemper vaccines, virus-tested, micro-chipped, he even had a recent dental with three teeth pulled, and a professional grooming. His blood work is perfect for a cat his age. His adoption fee of $50 benefits rescued pets. To meet and possibly adopt Kiki, please contact Sheri at sheri@petraits.com or 312-961-4571.
