Story
Meet Peanut! 🥜🐶 Peanut is a gentle soul with a heart full of love—and a soft spot for belly rubs! This sweet boy can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his goofy, fun-loving personality shines through. Peanut adores being close to his humans and will happily curl up next to you for snuggles any chance he gets. He’s a big fan of hot dogs (they might just be his love language!) and already knows how to sit like a champ. He’s currently working on his potty training and making great progress every day. If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly companion with a playful side and the best puppy eyes around, Peanut is your guy. He’s ready to find a family that will shower him with love—and maybe a few hot dogs too! For more information, email bloomingdale@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 90, 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.

Story
Yes, you can say it—I know I’m handsome. - Available for foster or adoption in Illinois Hi, I’m Ollie, a short-silky-haired Golden and Labrador Retriever, and yep—I get it all the time. "How did he end up in a rescue?" Well, here’s the deal: my family recently welcomed a new baby, and as much as they love me, the tiny humans make me a little nervous. I’m also a bit rambunctious (okay, a lot), and they decided I’d be happier in a home that better fits my energy. Now, I’m on the lookout for someone who gets me. BALL. IS. LIFE.Running and chasing the ball? Favorite thing ever.Playing ball again immediately after? Also my favorite.Did I mention I’m extremely passionate about ball? I also love car rides and going for walks. Got a spare pair of sunglasses? Let’s match and turn heads—because with my shiny, soft fur and movie-star looks, we’re going to get noticed. I’m also very treat-motivated—so you’ll have to pass the “Good Treato Distributor” test if we’re going to be besties. I’m located in Illinois and would love to meet you! ##2419593##

Story
Who’s looking for a little extra sunshine in their life?! Sweet Sunny has a story that is sadly all too common these days - she was picked up as a stray in rural Texas, and brought to the local shelter where she waited for a family who never came looking for her. While we’re not 100% sure what Sunny’s past looks like, she is as sweet as they come. She has several characteristics of a Great Pyrenees, stubborn, cautious and will bark when she hears something, but also is a very loving, sweet and gentle girl. As Sunny has settled into her foster home she has done really well. She is getting along great with the resident dogs, and would really love another dog to play with in her forever home. She does seem to like cats, but maybe just a little bit too much, so we would recommend a home without. She’s still learning that toys can be fun, but she does love chewing on bones. Sunny will require a home with a fully, physically fenced yard. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines. If you would like to give Sunny the forever home she deserves, please reach out to yurko.mar0903@gmail.com for an application.

Story
The Sweetheart with So Much Potential   Buttercup is a gentle, well-behaved 1 yr old terrier mix who is just 21 lbs. Rescued by Starfish Animal Rescue from a difficult past, she’s slowly coming out of her shell and starting to believe that humans can be kind.   Despite her timid start, Buttercup’s playful spirit is shining through. She  loves  toys, bones, and playing with the resident dogs in her foster home. With her long legs and incredible jumps, she’d make an  excellent candidate for agility training —if that’s your thing!   Buttercup needs a patient, understanding adopter who can give her the time and love she needs to continue building confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, loving companion with a heart full of gratitude.   If you’re ready to give Buttercup the forever home she deserves, please contact  Starfish Animal Rescue . She’s waiting for someone just like you   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $450 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 13, 2025, 4:46 pm

Male, 8 yrs 6 mos

Story
If you’re looking for a sweet and well-behaved gentle giant, let us introduce you to Dug. Dug is very shy around new people and takes his time getting comfortable in a new place with new faces. But for as slow as this gentle guy is to warm up to new people, once he does he adores affection. He seeks out his foster for snuggles and wags his tail as he takes advantage of a good head massage. He’s even warmed up to the two other small resident dogs at his foster’s home and is loving having a couple buddies to play chase with. It’s best to walk Dug on a harness as he has been known to slip out of a collar if he gets spooked on a walk. You can look forward to spoiling Dug with some toys as he’s just starting to get what being a dog is all about: being loved and cared for.Will you be the one to give Dug all the snuggles and the best life he deserves?Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs.
