Story
Ernie is a 10-month-old Shepard / Husky mix. He is up to date with all vaccinations and has been neutered and has a microchip. He is smart and loves walks, Ernie is one of the gentlest dogs taking treats that I have ever known. Ernie has attended doggie daycare for socialization, but he can also be a handful. He is crate trained and sleeps at night in a crate. Ernie has way more energy than I have and needs someone with time to devote to him. Ernie loves the outside and to run. Ernie deserves an owner who can give him what he deserves and with my schedule that’s not always an option.

Story
Tez is a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 57 pounds. He’s a smart, loyal boy who forms strong bonds with his people and enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, and simply being by your side. Tez is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only pet. While he can be social and playful with other dogs in outdoor or neutral environments, he prefers not to share his home or personal items. Tez has shown resource-guarding behaviors, meaning he may become protective over things like food. With clear boundaries, consistency, and an experienced adopter who can read dog body language, he manages well and continues to make progress. In the right environment, Tez is an incredibly devoted companion who will reward his person with loyalty, affection, and a lifelong friendship. Tez is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Tez, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), 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. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Tez, while he waits for his forever home!

Story
Meet Carter — Your Adventure Buddy, Couch Companion, and Certified Life-Enthusiast! If you’re searching for a fun-loving, energetic companion who’s always ready for something — a road trip, a trail walk, a spontaneous game of fetch — Carter is your guy. This social-leaning pup is what we like to call an “otrovert”: he has a playful, outgoing spirit, but he prefers to build trust with new people at his own pace. Once he warms up, he becomes the most loyal, goofy, joyful friend you could ever ask for. One of Carter’s most charming qualities is his chameleon-like play style. He’s wonderfully adaptable and adjusts his energy and approach to match whichever dog he’s playing with. Whether his buddy wants gentle romping, fast-paced chase games, or confident roughhousing, Carter meets them right where they are. He especially enjoys dogs his size or larger, but his ability to tune into his play partner’s vibe makes him a fantastic companion for many canine personalities. When it comes to adventures, Carter is always in. He’ll hop into the car as soon as you pick up the keys, splash through rivers like they were made for him, and sprint after a tossed ball with pure delight. And after all the excitement, he loves settling in with his trusted inner circle for quiet, cozy downtime. Carter is house-trained, knows his basic manners, and is eager to keep learning. His social skills are so solid that he actually helps “mentor” younger dogs, showing them how to play politely and navigate the world with confidence. Now, he just needs a forever family who will help him continue growing and shining. What’s Carter dreaming of? A home with a spacious yard, a patient and loving family who understands that trust takes time, and someone excited to share life’s adventures — big and small. If you’re seeking a loyal hiking partner and a joyful, adaptable companion, Carter can’t wait to meet you… slowly but surely. Carter's Favorite Things: Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite friends Play: I love a fun playdate with another pup Cues That Carter Knows: Sit Down Let's Go! Greeting Manners Touch Place Carter is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption.

Story
Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at jhellmer79@gmail.com and/or (847) 630-0291. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Nora is a stunning purebred German Shepherd with a heart full of affection. She recently lost her owner unexpectedly and is now searching for a calm, caring home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by love. Nora absolutely adores people and bonds quickly with anyone who shows her kindness. She has done wonderfully with children, though an older, gentle household may be the best fit simply because she’s a senior girl. Despite her age, she still has plenty of energy—she enjoys running, playing fetch, and being part of the action. Nora would thrive as the only pet in the home, as she prefers not to share her space with other dogs. What she needs most is someone who will give her the attention, comfort, and companionship she deserves. If you’re looking for a devoted, people-loving companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Nora may be the perfect match.
