Gretel is a 13-month-old calico kitty who grabs everyone's attention when she rubs up for pets purring. When she's done with getting attention, or just wants to stir things up, she gives a nip to let you know. She would do well as a solo cat with a family who can make sure she gets the exercise and attention she needs, or with another young rough and tumble cat that will let her be the boss.

Christopher is tall, slender, pure white and has a regal stance. He's a 1-year-old shepherd who loves other dogs and could play all day. Christopher is smart and knows basic commands sit, down and shake. He walks well on a leash and enjoys a good walk in the forest preserves to his smell nature. He will need a Shepherd savvy home with no small children.

Melody was abandoned years ago with a mangled leg that needed to be amputated. Melody was recently returned due to no fault of her own, and she is desperately looking for a forever home to cherish her. Melody isn't a big fan of other animals, so she prefers to be your only pet.
