Story
Meet Dumpling: Your Future Best Friend Breed: Boston Terrier Age: 2 Years Old Gender: Female Personality: Gentle, shy, cautious, and incredibly sweet Her Story Dumpling is a beautiful 2-year-old Boston Terrier who is ready to start her very first chapter as a beloved family pet. As a breeder release, Dumpling is brand new to the world of couch snuggles, squeaky toys, and the everyday routine of a loving home. Everything is a little novel and a little brave for her right now, but she is taking it all in with her big, soulful eyes. Her Personality True to her name, Dumpling is an absolute sweetie, though she carries herself with a lot of caution. She is naturally shy and prefers to take her time getting to know new people and environments. You won't find her bouncing off the walls just yet; instead, she excels at quiet observation and gentle companionship. With a soft voice and a slow approach, Dumplings cautious exterior melts away, revealing a deeply loyal companion who just wants to feel safe. Watching a dog like Dumpling realize she is finally home is one of the most rewarding journeys you can ever take. What Dumpling Needs in a Home A Patient Heart: Dumpling needs an adopter who understands that trust takes time. She needs a predictable, low-stress environment where she can blossom at her own pace without any pressure to be an instant social butterfly. A Fenced-In Yard: For Dumpling's safety and peace of mind, a secure, fenced-in backyard is strictly required. Because she can be easily startled by new sights and sounds, a private yard gives her a safe sanctuary to do her business, sniff the grass, and build up her confidence outdoors. A Calm Environment: A quieter household (preferably without very young children) will help Dumpling feel secure as she navigates her brand-new life. Ready to Welcome Dumpling Home? Dumpling has spent the first two years of her life giving to others, and now it is her turn to be pampered, cherished, and loved. If you have the patience, the quiet home, and the love to guide this sweet Boston Terrier into her bright future, she is ready to meet you.

Story
Meet Annabelle Annabelle is a darling senior lady (around 9 years young) with a gentle soul and a heart full of love to give. This sweet, quiet girl is currently working on her potty training and crate training. Annabelle gets along well with other dogs and has a calm, easygoing personality. Her favorite things in life are simple—snuggling on the couch, relaxing by your side, leisurely walks, and spending time in a securely fenced yard soaking up the fresh air. Having come to rescue as a stray, Annabelle is still receiving care for some medical issues as we help her feel her very best. Because of this, she will thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can continue to heal and enjoy the comfort and stability she deserves. Loud noises, sudden movements, and busy environments can make her uncomfortable, so she's looking for a family that appreciates a slower pace of life. Annabelle may need a little extra care and patience, but she will repay that kindness with endless love, quiet companionship, and gratitude. If you're looking for a loyal friend to share peaceful days, cozy evenings, and gentle walks, Annabelle just might be your perfect match.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Born: July 23, 2025 I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $500 Konner is a super sweet, playful, and spunky puppy who absolutely loves other dogs. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but give him a little time and you’ll see him blossom into an incredibly loving and affectionate boy. Konner has been diagnosed with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is currently doing well with treatment. He will likely need to remain on a low dose of prednisone long-term to help manage his condition and keep him feeling his best. With proper care and consistency, dogs with IBD can live happy, comfortable lives—and Konner is no exception. He would do best in a home that can provide a stable routine, monitor his condition, and work closely with his veterinarian. In return, Konner will reward his family with endless love, companionship, and his fun, playful personality. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

I may be short-legged but you should see me jump straight up, pretty impressive! What I wouldn’t do for a treat. My ears can be down, one ear up and one down, I’ll get you so confused but this will also make you laugh. But wait there is more, I’ve also got quite a smile, tongue hanging out on the side….Of course, there is so much more for you to discover. What are you waiting for?
