Story
Meet Beethoven This precious boy, a gentle giant, joined BAARK from Texas. He was living on a dog ranch and, with so many dogs being dumped throughout Texas, the ranch became overly crowded with homeless dogs; the caretakers needed help with transferring some of them to other groups so we stepped up for a few of them. Beethoven is a Golden Retriever (possibly Mix) estimated to be 2 years old, weighing 75 lbs. He is very affectionate and loving, and thrives on attention! He’s overall fairly calm for his young age, but does enjoy running and playing in the secure (above ground) fenced yard of his foster home. Beethoven is quick to learn and eager to please. His favorite activities are playing with his toys, being petted, watching TV, and relaxing with his human friends. An ideal forever family is one with Retriever experience, a secure (above ground) fenced yard, and another playful pup! Beethoven is good with dogs of his own size, but also gentle with smaller dogs and senior dogs too! Beethoven is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and on heartworm prevention, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please contact please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in Barrington (NW suburbs) and adopts only within 30 miles of our location.

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.

Story
Hi, I'm Peanut. Thanks for taking a look at me! I know my cute face is irresistible, but remember that I will take up lots of your time and attention while I grow into an awesome adult dog. Socialization, training (including house training), and exercise are just a few of the things I will look to you for. Chewing, teething, and learning what is Okay and not Okay to put in my mouth are all part of the puppy experience. And, be prepared for the time and money for frequent trips to the vet during the first few months so I can get up to date on my boosters and vaccines. But most of all, be prepared for all of the LOVE, puppy kisses, and joy I will bring into your life. If you are up for the challenge and the fun, stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. 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.
