Story
Introducing Cole! Cole is the perfect companion for households with other high-energy pups, as he thrives in the company of active playmates. However, he's not the best match for homes with cats or small animals, as his enthusiastic nature may not be conducive to their comfort. Cole is a well-trained pup who knows the importance of proper bathroom etiquette. With commands like sit, lay, and stay under his belt, he's a smart and obedient companion ready to impress with his skills. When he's not showing off his training proficiency, Cole enjoys nothing more than snuggling up on the couch with his favorite human. But don't let his love for relaxation fool you - he's also a fan of outdoor adventures! Whether it's chasing a ball or soaking up the sun while chewing on his favorite bone or a stick from the yard, Cole is always up for some fun in the great outdoors. If you're seeking a playful and affectionate companion to join you on life's adventures, look no further than Cole. With his boundless energy and loyal heart, he's sure to become your ultimate four-legged friend. Come meet Cole today and embark on a journey filled with love, laughter, and endless tail wags! If you are up for the challenge and the fun, stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email bloomingdale@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 90, 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.

Story
Maverick is 2 year old, and weighs 39 lbs. He is very energetic. He is a sweet boy who loves to play and run. He doesn’t like to be in a kennel, but cannot be trusted alone in the house yet, as he likes to chew, like puppies do. He has had herding tendencies with small children, and will herd if you run. He would be a good companion dog to play with in the yard until he can be trained to walk properly on a leash. He is an escape artist when it comes to harnesses and collars while on leash. He will need a secure fenced in back yard with a secure gate. ​ Location & Contact ​Location: South Beloit, Illinois ​ Contact: Chris wickedcrafty1@gmail.com

Story
Bruno is an energetic boy. He likes to jump over baby gates and might be a good candidate for agility. He’s pretty smart. Bruno would do well in a home with no other dogs, cats, or kids. He knows sit, shake, and down. He chooses to sleep on the second shelf of our laundry room wire rack. This is where we keep extra bedding. He likes his people but he is cautious at first. He doesn’t like having things taken away so we trade for something he likes more. We feed him in his room by himself. He would rather eat alone. He has not shown any desire to herd, but will chase birds when he sees one. Not sure about other small animals, but it’s safe to assume he quite possibly would. He seeks out attention when he wants it and we don’t fuss with him unless he does. When he doesn’t want to go in his room, he will sit down strike. I offer him treats on the way to his room and he will usually follow me in. He’s got some quirks, but he’s a great dog. Bruno takes a little while to get to know someone. He must be introduced to the same person several times from a distance. Once he gets to know them, he behaves well. We walk him every day in our semi-rural area, where there are very few cars and not a lot of people. He’s not the city type. He will sometimes bolt for a small animal when he sees one with little warning. He would rather not be hugged or kissed, but enjoys petting while he sits at your feet. He is very cautious when you take off his harness. He does a play bow when we put it on. He likes to sleep on the second shelf of my laundry room rack. I put blankets on it to make him comfortable. He will need a fenced-in yard. ​ Location & Contact ​Location: South Beloit, Illinois ​ Contact: Chris wickedcrafty1@gmail.com

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dixie is a 5.5 year old spayed female and weighs 35 lbs. She is a sweet girl. She used to live on a farm, and likes to play ball, roll on her back, and likes to have her tummy rubbed. She is a little sensitive to her surroundings, so be patient with her. Dixie's safe place is her crate. She would do best in a home with no young children, in a quieter neighborhood and if with another pet, a more submissive dog. She is very smart and likes her treats! ​ If you have questions or would like to adopt please contact mwbcr@mwbcr.org ​ Location & Contact ​Location: Northern Illinois ​ Contact: Chris wickedcrafty1@gmail.com

Story
Gator has been in her foster home since June of '23. She lives with, loves and gets along with all dogs and cats. She has the typical cattle dog or heeler energy, exercise and mental needs (which is a bit more than your average dog), and she stays true to her genetics by using her mouth to get her way. Gator has met many children of all ages and loves them but will only thrive in a home with a family that understands a cattle dogs needs and tendencies. Gator's foster mom is a professional, certified dog trainer with a passion for deaf dogs. Gator has been very well socialized and even attended a puppy obedience and play socialization class. She works on her obedience skills daily and understands many hand signals. Gator is highly trainable and is very food motivated, often excitably working and learning for fruits and vegetable. Fetch and tug are Gator's favorite games and she loves to chew and believes multiple and rotated safe chewing options are important for a happy dog home. Gator is crate trained and potty trained but her loose leash walking skills are the most impressive. Gator pays close attention to her handler on walks because of a very consistent history of rewarding her eye contacts. She often eats her dinner as rewards on our evening sunset walks or hikes. Gator has absolutely bonded with her foster family and because of this will require a couple meetings with potential adaptors so we can prevent any abandonment trauma. Her foster mom wants to set her up for success and would make sure each meeting is filled with teaching you how to best communicate with our sweet, deaf girl. Her foster mom is even offering free private training sessions after adoption to further the chances of a successful transition and bonding with you. We would love to find someone who is familiar with the cattle dog/heeler breed or has dog experience as this breed is not the easiest for first time dog guardianship. Experience with a deaf dog is not required as we promise, training them isn't much different than training a hearing dog. Every hurdle around deafness is contrasted with perks and we'd love to share all our knowledge for Gator's happiness. Please visit our Facebook page for the most and latest updates on Miss Gator: https://www.facebook.com/BarsIIBeds If you'd like to meet Gator, please fill out the form here: https://form.jotform.com/221245602283145
