Alexis is a gorgeous 3monthold pup with the perfect mix of sweetness and silliness.

One minute shes racing around like a tiny tornado, and the next shes curled up right beside her favorite person, ready for snuggles. When shes awake, shes eager to learn and thrilled to show off her new skills. Shes already rocking her leash walks, coming when called, and nailing sit like a pro.

Alexis is crate trained, potty trained, and currently living with four other dogs, giving her a fantastic start in life.

Agatha

German Shepherd Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, 1 yr 11 mos

Elk Grove Village, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Agatha! Agatha is a chocolate lab mix who has found herself back with AHF through no fault of her own. Her previous owner sadly developed allergies and made the difficult decision to return her so she could find a family that’s the perfect fit forever this time. This sweet girl is pure love…plus maybe a couple extra snack-related pounds she’s currently pretending not to hear about!Agatha absolutely LOVES other dogs. If she could make “running around the yard with dog friends” a full-time career, she would happily apply immediately. She’s playful, social, and has a blast wrestling and zooming around with canine buddies.With people, Agatha is incredibly sweet and loving once she settles in. She’s understandably a little nervous right now with all the recent changes in her life, but underneath that uncertainty is a very affectionate girl who really just wants to feel safe and loved again.Agatha would do best in a home with older kids or adults only. She previously lived happily with elementary-aged children, but little kiddos make her nervous, so a calmer home without little ones would help her feel most comfortable.She is also fully potty trained, which we know everyone loves to hear.Agatha is hoping her next family will be the forever kind — one filled with patience, love, dog friends, and maybe a few less treats… according to her foster mom, not according to Agatha herself. Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Thankfully, with the help of Anna and her siblings, we were able to gain her mother’s trust and bring them all to safety. Now, Anna is thriving!

Story

Ranch is relaxing in a foster home! Please submit an application from our website or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to see if you're a match! Ranch came to us with his momma, Ensalada, and his 7 siblings from Texas in mid- April at just 3 weeks old. Ensalada and her pups arrived in rough shape, they were flea infested and anemic. Thankfully, they recovered in no time and are now healthy and ready to find their forever homes! Ranch is one happy pup that is just here to have a good time! Ranch is happy with whatever he is doing. Whether it is playing with his siblings, cuddling with a human, playing with a toy or puzzle, he is having a good time and soaking it all in! Ranch has been living in a foster home the last few weeks to learn the ropes of home life and he is doing excellent! He is on his way to mastering crate training and house breaking, he is figuring out walks, and he even has a fan club of kids (age 3-9) that love to play with him every day! Here is what his foster mom shares about him. "Ranch is an absolute hoot! Whether he’s running around outside testing the limits of puppy speed or cuddling close to his people, this pup brings love and laughter. Ranch is eager to please people and other dogs alike, always wanting to make new friends and be involved in learning the ropes of dog life. He is most motivated by chew toys and treats, and he has an absolutely adorable “sit.” His ears constantly flop around and you can’t help but fall in love with this goofball." If you are looking for an all around VGB (very good boy) Ranch is your dude and we hope you will make and appointment to meet him today! Ranch's adoption fee is $450. This animal is neutered, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age. They will need a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet. Since he is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.
