Story
Meet the Beautiful Violet! She came to TNT as a breeder release so everything is new to her, we are taking this precious girl's lead and giving her time to decompress! She was very shy when she arrived but she's made leaps and bounds on trusting people! Violet is a 5.5 year old Golden Retriever/Poodle mix and she weighs about 20 pounds. She seems to find comfort in the resident dogs in her foster home, and has handled all the new things quite well. She has started to enjoy getting pets, she powered through her first bath like a champ, and she is slowly but surely learning to trust her new surroundings. Seeing Violet blossom as she grows more and more comfortable will surely bring so much joy to her future family! If you are ready to have Violet join your family, apply today! Violet's adoption fee is $550

Story
Fable is a gentle-hearted sweetheart with a soft soul and a playful side. She's still building her confidence around other dogs, so while she’s open to making furry friends, she’d appreciate slow introductions and a calm, understanding companion. If you have a resident pup at home, we recommend bringing them along for a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect match! Fable’s favorite things? Pup cups, chicken treats, and a good game of toss-the-stuffy — she’s got a silly streak that shines through when she’s playing! After playtime, she’s all about the snuggles, happiest when curled up next to her favorite human. Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email bloomingdale@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 90. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! 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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.**   Picked up by animal control as a stray in Missouri, Tully found himself in a crowded shelter before arriving at Hoof Woof Meow. This handsome two year old golden retriever mystery mix is crate trained, house broken, neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster family and loves getting pets from kids of all ages at adoption events. Tully is 30 pounds of mischief, treat motivated and a huge fan of couch cuddles. Obedience training would be greatly beneficial to help him learn how to be the best buddy a family could ask for. Tully is heart worm positive and has begun treatment. Potential adopters will need to meet with the rescue medical director to discuss Tully’s care and be committed to continue his treatment program. The cost of his heart worm treatments will be covered, provided the adopter uses a vet contracted with the rescue. Don’t let the words “heart worm” scare you away from this love bug. His puppy dog eyes and constant smile will brighten any day. Tully is keeping his paws crossed that his forever family will find him.

Story
With a name that carries a touch of old-world charm, Thadius is as noble in spirit as he is gentle in heart. Once known as “Teddy,” he still answers lovingly to both—because, at his core, he’s every bit the snuggly companion his name suggests.This handsome young boy delights in life’s simple joys: a good toy to chew, a romp in the yard, and a cozy snuggle at day’s end. He greets everyone—big or small, two- or four-legged—with warmth and curiosity. In the crate, on walks, or at play, Thadius brings a calm confidence and quiet sweetness that make him a joy to be around.House training is a work in progress, but his eagerness to please and steady routine have him well on his way. With every passing day, Thadius shows more of his true nature—a kind, playful soul with a dignified heart ready to belong to someone forever.Interested in adopting this dog?
