Story

Max is a vibrant, loving, and energetic 6-year-old dog who truly enjoys being outdoors. He loves playing catch, running around, and then relaxing after a good play session. He has a fun, affectionate personality and thrives on attention and interaction. I would recommend a home with a decently sized backyard where he can safely run and play, as he has plenty of energy and loves space to move around. An adopter who can take him on regular walks, play with him, and show him lots of love would be a great fit. He would do best with someone who can provide both activity and companionship.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I'm Blue. I'm 4½ years old, and I never imagined I'd be looking for a new family. My family loves me with all their hearts. Because of circumstances completely beyond their control, they have to let me go. They are absolutely heartbroken, and honestly... I am too. This isn't what any of us wanted. They just want to make sure I'm safe, loved, and happy, even if it can't be with them. I'm a big boy—92 pounds of love—but don't let my size fool you. I'm really just a gentle giant who wants to be close to my people. One of my favorite things is curling up beside you at night for snuggles. I also love blueberries, bananas, Milk-Bone treats, and a good game of fetch. I'm neutered, healthy, up to date on my vaccines, crate trained (although lately I feel better if the crate door stays open, I have some separation anxiety), potty trained, and I walk well on a leash. I'm a smart guy and already know how to be a good house dog. I get along with other dogs, although I can be selective, so slow introductions are best. Lately I've been feeling a little anxious. My whole world has changed, and I don't understand why. I'm trying my best, but I just want to know that I'm safe and that someone isn't going to leave me behind again. I may be about 40% German Shepherd and 40% American Bully, but I'm 100% loyal to the people I love. Right now, I need a miracle. I need a foster home or, even better, a forever family willing to give me the stability, patience, and love I deserve. Every day that passes is another day my family worries about what will happen to me. I don't want to lose hope... I'm just waiting for someone to choose me. Could you be the person who gives me my happy ending? *Please note: Project Hope does not perform DNA testing on our rescue dogs.

Story

🐾 Meet Bruno! Bruno is a handsome 1-year-old German Shepherd weighing 62 pounds, and this smart, energetic boy is ready to find a family of his very own! Bruno is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything. He is playful, affectionate, eager to please, and always ready for his next adventure. Bruno loves to play! Ball and fetch are two of his favorite activities, and he thinks searching for hidden treats is a pretty fantastic game, too. But if you really want to make Bruno happy, add some water! 💦 This boy absolutely loves to swim and has enjoyed everything from lakes and swimming pools to kiddie pools. He would make an excellent companion for a family looking for a four-legged swimming and adventure buddy. Bruno isn't just a fun-loving guy — he's also a very smart student. Since going into foster care, he has really blossomed and shown just how much potential he has. He is learning skills like heel and leave it, along with a variety of household commands and expectations. Bruno catches on quickly and enjoys figuring out what his people are asking of him. Training gives him a job to do, and he loves the challenge of learning something new, especially when it's paired with positive reinforcement. As a young German Shepherd, Bruno has plenty of energy and enthusiasm to share. He would love an active family or individual who will continue his training, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and include him in their daily adventures. He isn't looking for a life spent lounging on the couch — Bruno wants to play, learn, explore, and be part of the action! Bruno may enjoy living with a playful, compatible canine companion, provided they are a good match. He could also happily be the only dog in the home, where he can be his person's devoted adventure buddy and best friend. Bruno has come a long way in foster care, and it has been wonderful to see him grow into the goofy, enthusiastic, and eager-to-learn dog he is today. He has the brains, energy, and big personality to become an incredible companion — he just needs someone who will continue to guide him and give him plenty of opportunities to shine. If you're looking for a smart, active, fun-loving dog who wants to be your partner in play, training, adventures, and maybe even your next swimming buddy, Bruno would love to meet you! 🐶❤️ Stop in and meet him 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.
