Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Brooks, a big 2-year-old Black German Shepherd who's ready for some outdoor fun! If you want a buddy to explore the world with, I'm your guy!
I love going for walks, especially when there's cool stuff to see and smell. Whether it's a slow walk in the park or a hike in the woods, count me in! I've got lots of energy and I'm always curious about what's around the corner.
Playing outside is the best! Give me some space to run and play with my toys, and I'm a happy pup. I'm up for any game that lets me stretch my legs and have a good time.
Adventures are my jam! I'm always ready for a road trip or a trip to the beach with my favorite people. Wherever you go, I want to be there too!
I'm not just good-looking-I'm also super loyal and love spending time with my family. Whether it's cuddling up on the couch or just hanging out together, I'm happiest when I'm with my humans.
So, if you want a fun-loving buddy to join you on your adventures, pick me, Brooks! We'll have a blast exploring the world together. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out a quick and easy adoption questionnaire at the animalcareleague.org today.

More about this shelter
The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.
At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970’s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.
From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.
The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
