Story
Meet Sampson, a delightful, smiley 7-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who is young at heart and ready to find his perfect forever home! Despite his age, Sampson has a spirited personality and a zest for life that is truly infectious. While he may struggle with overarousal and anxiety during the first few days in a new environment, he quickly settles down and adapts well. One of Sampson's favorite ways to relax and find comfort is through belly rubs. This gentle giant absolutely adores the affectionate touch of a caring hand and will gladly soak up all the love and attention you can give. His sweet disposition shines through, and he is known for his loving nature and big heart. Sampson is a pretty good walker and doesn't get bothered by too much. Going for strolls with him will not only provide him with physical exercise but also help him feel more comfortable and confident in his surroundings. With a bit of guidance and positive reinforcement, Sampson will surely become an excellent walking companion, enjoying the sights and sounds of the great outdoors. Currently weighing 110 pounds, Sampson could benefit from a weight management plan to ensure he stays in good health. A balanced diet and regular exercise, including those enjoyable walks, will help him maintain a healthy weight and overall well-being. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who may need a little extra time to adjust to his new home, Sampson is the perfect match for you. His loving nature and youthful spirit make him a joy to be around, and his gentle demeanor will win your heart over in no time. Open your home to this amazing senior dog, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of love, cuddles, and belly rubs. Come meet Sampson today and discover the joy he can bring to your life! 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. 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.

Story
Meet Hera: Queen of the Doggie Pantheon Just like her namesake, Hera is a goddess who knows what she wants-adventure and relaxation, in perfect balance. With two divine moods, she loves exploring the outdoors and then basking in the sunshine on the couch, recharging her regal energy. Hera is wise and discerning, preferring a small, loyal circle of trusted friends. After all, even a goddess must choose her companions carefully! When it comes to training, Hera's eagerness shines, especially when cookies are on the table. She's one of our BEST loose-leash walkers, always composed and graceful on her walks. If she encounters any challenges, her trusty "let's go" cue makes it easy for her to move on like the queen she is. Hera seeks a home where she can reign as the only animal-no need to share her throne! She would also thrive in an adult-only home where her royal wishes are respected. A backyard would be the perfect place for her to soak up the sun and watch over her kingdom. Are you ready to welcome Hera, the queen of your heart and home? My favorite things: Being outside! Treats! Cream cheese and chicken are my favorite, but, let's be real, I'll eat almost anything. Watching out the living room window Long walks Booty scratches (once we a friends) Sleeping in a human bed Cues that I know: Sit, down Touch Place/Relaxation Working on muzzle training Loose leash walking Scratch (for keeping my front nails short with a scratch board) How am I doing in foster? "Hera is a bundle of joy and personality. She fits in perfectly to my routine as it's just her and me! That is where Hera thrives. She likes it when her close human friends come over to visit but prefers a quiet home. We go multiple times a week to the forest preserve, and she loves all the sniffs! She may try to chase a squirrel or two but can be redirected with treats. She also loves my fenced yard and having some independence when outside. I have been helping Hera prepare for her forever home by teaching her manners when people enter the house. You are in for a wonderful dog, if you pick Hera" -Hera's foster mom Hera is an All-Star dog! Her adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and she will go home with her very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get her off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Hera, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you!
