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? Love, Blue Foster Needed. Forever Home Needed.

Meet Brutus! Brutus is a handsome 1-year-old German Shepherd weighing 62 pounds who is ready to find a family of his very own. This young guy is the total package—smart, affectionate, and full of life! Brutus is a strong, energetic dog who loves being with people and is always excited to make new friends. His happy personality shines through in everything he does, from going on walks to soaking up attention from his favorite humans. He has the playful spirit you'd expect from a young German Shepherd and would love an active family that can provide him with exercise, structure, and plenty of opportunities to learn. Despite his size and strength, Brutus has a sweet and loving side. He enjoys spending time with his people and is happiest when he's included in the action. Especially if it involves water. This guy absolutely loves to be in the water! With continued training and guidance, Brutus is sure to make an amazing companion. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a big heart, Brutus may be the perfect match for you. Come meet this handsome shepherd and see if he's the missing piece your family has been searching for! 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.
