About Alamo and Margo

Meet Alamo and Margo, a devoted pair in search of a loving home together in Chicago, IL. Alamo, an almost eight-year-old Schnauzer/Shepherd mix, is a gentle 50-pound gentleman who may take a day or two to warm up but will soon become your loyal companion. He enjoys peaceful walks and delightful off-leash adventures. Margo, his playful six-year-old Pug partner, weighs 20 pounds and is all about snuggling. After some professional training, her leash manners have improved, but she is still working on staying calm around certain dogs, so positive reinforcement is key. Both Alamo and Margo thrive in doggy daycare, socializing and playing with friends. They're house-trained, crate-trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations. While they haven't been tested with children, they have lived harmoniously with a cat. Their strong bond makes them a remarkable team, and they would flourish in a quieter neighborhood or a home with a yard to explore. Alamo and Margo are neutered and spayed, microchipped, and know commands like sit, stay, and spin. They come with their crates and familiar supplies, plus transition support to help them settle comfortably in their new home. Could your family be the next chapter for this special duo? If you’re ready to offer them a loving space, reach out for more information! They are even open to long-distance adoptions because love knows no distance. Start your journey together! Apply now.
