About Mookie
Mookie is a sturdy, beautiful senior Pit Mix who has been waiting over two and a half years for a permanent place to settle in Shorewood, IL. She's just under 80 pounds and has spent years tucked away in foster care before shifting to the rescue. What really sets her apart is her devotion; Mookie bonds deeply once she feels safe with you, but she needs slow, patient introductions. Once you’re in, she swaps her shy exterior for full-throttle affection—don’t be surprised if she tries to crawl onto your lap, convinced she’s lap dog material. Mookie keeps her area spotless and can usually be found headfirst in squeaky plush toys or snoozing by your side. Volunteers report she’s happiest outdoors, especially when sunbathing or wading to nap in the pool. Walks are a highlight for her, but she manages arthritis and hypothyroidism with medication and care, also working to trim down for her joints. Mookie needs a home with no other dogs or cats—her preference is clear on that front. The staff and volunteers adore her and hope the right family will take a chance soon.
