My story

Age/Birthdate:04/17/2022* Location:Plainfield,IL * Fully Vetted: Yes Any Special Medical or Special Needs:None Temperament with: Dogs:Good Cats:Not tested Children list specific ages: Not tested. 10 and up. Strangers:Shy at first Training Needs: Crate Trained:Yes Potty Trained:Yes ✨Hi, I’m Liyah!✨ I’m a sweet 43-pound girl who’s still learning how to be brave in the big wide world. I might be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m playful, affectionate, and full of kisses! I’ve got a gentle heart and a silly side—I love a good game of fetch, especially if it means zooming around the yard (and maybe sneaking a taste of rabbit poop when no one's looking!). I walk beautifully on a leash and like to stick close by when passing people or other dogs. I sleep soundly in my cozy bed when you're away and just need a chew toy to keep me busy so I don’t get too curious about the furniture. I’d be a great match for many types of homes—especially one that gives me time to build trust, a routine to thrive in, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and sweet girl who just wants to be loved, I might be your perfect match. 💗 This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason. If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius. Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval. Breed and Age Information: Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners. Adoption Fee: $350 The adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue) Microchip Rabies vaccine DHPP vaccine Bordetella vaccine 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease) General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. Spay/Neuter Policy: We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breed’s projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as 8–16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure. Interested in Adopting? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt
