Story
Meet Zoey, a stunning one-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a gorgeous brindle coat, perfectly accented by her white chest and paws. This sweet girl has a gentle heart and so much love to give. Zoey may take a little time to build a bond, but once she trusts you, her true personality shines. She is incredibly sweet, smart, and eager to please—her foster absolutely adores her and says she’s a joy to have around. Zoey is housetrained and does well with other dogs, making her a wonderful companion in the right home. Zoey would thrive in an adult-only home where she can feel safe, build strong connections, and continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. With patience and love, Zoey will reward you with unwavering loyalty and affection. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a beautiful soul to match her looks, Zoey might just be your perfect match. Stop in and meet Zoey 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 Sky ☁️🐾 Sky is a sweet, snuggly shelter puppy with a heart as big as her energy! This playful girl loves to run, explore, and then curl up close for some quality cuddle time. She’s eager to learn—especially when cheese or chicken are involved, as those are her favorite rewards. Sky already knows how to sit and is doing great socially. She gets along well with feline friends and has made a few dog pals at the shelter too. She would love a home with a fenced-in yard where she can zoom around safely, and a cozy bed big enough for her to hop into for snuggles at the end of the day. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic companion who’s equal parts playful and cuddly, Sky might just be the perfect addition to your family. 🐾 💕 Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older).

Anderson Humane is not responsible for any unsuccessful adoptions. She is an affectionate girl. She really is the perfect dog. She is protective and likes to be vocal out the windows to the neighbors walking by. She loves to lay on the couch with us and chill. She loves giving kisses and having her belly rubbed. She does go a little nutty when seeing lights on the walls and ceilings. She is a big girl who still acts like a puppy sometimes. She has never had an accident in the house. She will let you know when she needs to go. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her and we are not taking this well at all. She is our family and I only hope someone will want to give her an opportunity to be family to them. She has been soooooo loved. I hope to find a home to do the same.

Each puppy is a female, Labradore and Husky mix, they get along fabulously with each other, and hopefully you as well. Due to a lack of space and finances, we are unable to continue housing them. But that does not make them undeserving of your love. If anyone is interested in housing one of these pup's please don't hesitate to reach out! We would love for these pups to end up in a home with other animals or taken in in pairs (If willing). Again, please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested!
