Story

Rocky: The Pocket-Sized Malinois with Big Energy Name’s Rocky. I’m a 2.5-year-old Belgian Malinois, tipping the scales at just 49 pounds. That makes me a little smaller than most of my kind, but don’t let my size fool you—I’m still every bit the classic Malinois package: smart, energetic, and always up for action. I was relinquished by my owner, so now I’m looking for someone who understands a dog like me. I thrive on play—chase, tug, fetch—you name it, I’m in. I’m a good listener, too, especially when you give me a job to do. Car rides? Love them. Anxiety? Not my thing. Here’s the real talk: I need a person who can guide me, set boundaries, and help me channel all this brainpower and energy into something positive. With the right structure, I’ll be your loyal adventure buddy and snuggle partner all in one. Older kids are fine by me. Shots are up to date, I’m neutered, and I’m ready to start fresh. If you’re looking for a smaller-sized Malinois with a big heart and even bigger potential, I’m your guy. ##2347586##

HOLD THE PHONE! Khan is Loyal, Confident, and Pretty Magnificent I’m Khan, and yes, I’m available. Look no further. I’m 6 years old and a Belgian Malinois through and through. I am athletic, smart, focused, driven, and alert; a total working dog package. If you know the breed, you know what that means. I need someone who understands Malinois energy and structure. I can be dog-selective, so experience with managing introductions and relationships between dogs is a must. I do best with females, but I’m not a dog-park kind of guy. No cats for me . . . I like to chase them! I think they are toys so not a good thing for the Kitties! I am a perfect match for an experienced handler who loves to take long walks or runs daily because, you know . . . my breed loves to exercise! We are not for Couch potatoes! I am great with "dog savvy" kids. I was dumped in a high-kill shelter, but I never lost hope. Angel Dog Alliance stepped in, and now I’ve got a second shot. Here’s what you’ll get with me: Fierce loyalty to my people A confident, smart companion who is great on a leash A dog who thrives with affection and structure A goofy sense of humor and love for play A protector who will guard your heart (and your Amazon deliveries) I’m up to date on all my vaccines, and I'm already neutered. (so no wild Saturday nights for me anymore!) If you’re an active, experienced dog person who wants an adventure buddy, I might just be your perfect match. Ready when you are. ##2284261##

Story

Tilly The Sweetheart Tell me another story while I just look at you! I am Tilly. My start in life wasn’t the best, but I have worked really hard to get over that. I was at the shelter, about to be euthanized, shaking and afraid in my kennel when, all of a sudden, I found myself on my way to a wonderful, gentle lady who told me all is okay and right with the world now. I have spent a couple of months learning that I can trust people, and now—watch out, world—I am outta my shell! I have a lot of energy, I know all my basic commands, and I walk well on a leash! I also enjoy bedtime stories and will listen while you tell them! In case you haven’t noticed my sniffer, I have what they call a double nose. So, just in case you get lost going to the bathroom, I can find you a lot faster because I can smell better than most dogs. Seriously, I swear it’s true! I am good with other dogs. Cats? I have never seen one, so I don’t know! If you have older kids, that’s okay—I just don’t want to knock them over with me always being excited to experience new things. Do you like to hike?Are you a runner?Bigger question—will you endlessly throw the ball for me? If you meet all the criteria, I am yours! ##2298947##

Story

Hello, Future Family! Ready for some love, cuddles, and playing fetch? MALIBU: READY TO RUN, READY TO LOVE Hi, I’m Malibu—part pittie, part Malinois, and all heart. I’m sweet, spunky, and ready to find a human who matches my vibe: active, committed, and looking for a loyal best friend. At just around 2 years old, I’ve got energy to spare and a brain that loves to work. I need both physical and mental exercise every day—walks, runs, puzzle toys, training games, you name it. When I don’t get that outlet, I get restless. A long stay in a kennel is not my thing. I’m built for adventure, connection, and movement. ‍ Let’s move: Whether it’s hiking, jogging, or biking, I’m up for it. I love to run alongside your bike, match your pace, and take in the world by your side. I’m a smart cookie: I listen to commands and love learning new things. Give me a challenge, and I’ll rise to it. Kid compatibility: I do well with older kids (16+). The little ones? They’re cute, but their unpredictability can make me nervous. Cats: Hard no. They move too fast, and I’m just too tempted to chase. House skills: I’m crate trained, very clean, and doing great with potty training. Personality check: I’m playful, focused, and super excited about life. I’ll be your loyal shadow, your running partner, and your cuddle bug once we’ve bonded. I do best as your one and only—but with me, you won’t need anyone else. Details: About 1.9 years old High energy Spayed Up to date on shots Best in an active, pet-free home with older kids Ready to see what life could look like with a sweet, driven girl like me? Let’s go. I’ve got the energy—and the love—you’ve been missing. Let’s thrive together. Fully vetted, vaccinated, and house-trained Professionally trained in basics (sit, stay, walking on leash, etc) – includes 1 FREE trainer session at trainer's location for adopters Foster-to-adopt option available – all costs during fostering are covered by us - food, medical, etc ##2257161##

Story

Meet Tez- The Goofy, Playful, Food-Motivated Adventurer Tez is a handsome, seasoned German Shepherd mix who’s ready to start his exciting next chapter. This charming guy looks for adventure in the everyday and doesn’t let much slow him down. Whether it’s exploring the yard, going for a stroll, or just supervising the household, Tez likes to be part of the action and close to his people. He’s begun making doggie friends at the shelter and is learning the ropes of socializing—he’s not a pro yet, but he’s putting in the effort and making progress. With the right introductions and a little patience, he could continue to blossom. Tez is a certified foodie at heart. Snacks are the way to his soul, and he has a special fondness for “junk food” treats like Nudges Jerky or Beggin’ Strips. (Hey, we all have our favorites, and Tez is delightfully non-judgmental about it!) His love of treats also makes him extra motivated to learn and train. When it comes to toys, Tez is an enthusiastic stuffy connoisseur. He adores plush toys… though their lifespan may be short in his care. For Tez, every stuffed toy is a thrilling mystery box—the real prize being the squeaker inside! This smart boy is house-trained and already knows several cues. He’s eager to learn more, especially if tasty rewards are involved. Tez would thrive in a home without young children, as their busy energy can overwhelm him. He’d also prefer a home where his meals and treats are respected as his own—after all, sharing snacks is hard for anyone! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with personality, heart, and a dash of silly charm, Tez might just be your guy. Tez’s Favorite Things: Playing with his canine friends Catching treats mid air Spending time outside Cues Tez Knows: Sit Down Stay Come If Tez seems like the kiddo for you, he would love to meet you! Tez is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Tez, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Tez, while he waits for his forever home!

Story

Meet Kupa! 🐾 Kupa is a 4-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at a lovely 90 pounds, and she is just as sweet as she is gorgeous. With her beautiful coat, soulful eyes, and confident presence, Kupa turns heads everywhere she goes. But it’s her heart that really steals the show. Kupa is incredibly affectionate and loves making new friends. She happily leans in for attention and absolutely melts for belly rubs. She’s a gentle giant who enjoys being close to her people and soaking up all the love she can get. Kupa already knows “sit” when asked and truly enjoys training. She's smart, eager to please, and thrives when she has structure and a job to do—just what you’d expect from a German Shepherd! Continued training and enrichment will not only keep her beautiful mind sharp but also strengthen the bond she shares with her new family. Kupa came to us because her owner was moving to a smaller living arrangement and was worried he wouldn’t get the exercise and space she needs. This active girl will do best with a family committed to providing daily activity, adventures, and plenty of opportunities to stretch those long legs. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and oh-so-talented companion who is ready to be your best friend, Kupa just might be your perfect match. 🖤 Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

Story

Meet Carter — Your Adventure Buddy, Couch Companion, and Certified Life-Enthusiast! If you’re searching for a fun-loving, energetic companion who’s always ready for something — a road trip, a trail walk, a spontaneous game of fetch — Carter is your guy. This social-leaning pup is what we like to call an “otrovert”: he has a playful, outgoing spirit, but he prefers to build trust with new people at his own pace. Once he warms up, he becomes the most loyal, goofy, joyful friend you could ever ask for. One of Carter’s most charming qualities is his chameleon-like play style. He’s wonderfully adaptable and adjusts his energy and approach to match whichever dog he’s playing with. Whether his buddy wants gentle romping, fast-paced chase games, or confident roughhousing, Carter meets them right where they are. He especially enjoys dogs his size or larger, but his ability to tune into his play partner’s vibe makes him a fantastic companion for many canine personalities. When it comes to adventures, Carter is always in. He’ll hop into the car as soon as you pick up the keys, splash through rivers like they were made for him, and sprint after a tossed ball with pure delight. And after all the excitement, he loves settling in with his trusted inner circle for quiet, cozy downtime. Carter is house-trained, knows his basic manners, and is eager to keep learning. His social skills are so solid that he actually helps “mentor” younger dogs, showing them how to play politely and navigate the world with confidence. Now, he just needs a forever family who will help him continue growing and shining. What’s Carter dreaming of? A home with a spacious yard, a patient and loving family who understands that trust takes time, and someone excited to share life’s adventures — big and small. If you’re seeking a loyal hiking partner and a joyful, adaptable companion, Carter can’t wait to meet you… slowly but surely. Carter's Favorite Things: Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite friends Play: I love a fun playdate with another pup Cues That Carter Knows: Sit Down Let's Go! Greeting Manners Touch Place Carter is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start!
