Adoption Donation: $250 Meet Lil Man – A Gentle Soul in Search of Peace Quiet | Dog-Friendly | Sweet and Shy Lil Man is a quiet, tender-hearted boy looking for a calm and loving home. He can be shy at first, but once he feels safe, his sweetness shines through. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do best in a peaceful environment, adults only, where he can come out of his shell at his own pace. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Lil Man might be your perfect match. Give this sweet boy the quiet life he’s been waiting for.

Story
Brooks is an adorable 2-year-old Dachshund mix with a handsome mix of black, brown, and white fur! This little guy is still finding his confidence around new people and dogs, but he’s made so much progress in his foster home. He loves going for walks and exploring, though he can get a bit nervous if there’s too much noise or traffic. Recently, Brooks has started to discover the joy of toys—they only hold his attention for a short while, but it’s so fun to see him play! Brooks absolutely adores snacks (any kind will do!) and will happily show off his “sit” and “stay” skills when treats are involved. He’s a cuddly boy once he feels comfortable and especially loves snuggling up with his foster family. Brooks sleeps in his crate at night and does well with that routine, though he sometimes needs a little extra encouragement. He’s mostly potty trained and uses a pee pad if he doesn’t want to go outside, especially on chilly nights. Brooks loves playing with his doggy foster sibling—they’re the best of friends! Because he’s still learning to share, his foster family feeds them separately and gives treats one at a time. Brooks will thrive in a patient, loving home that gives him time to warm up, plenty of yummy treats, and all the cuddles he deserves! 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.
