Story
Rufus is an exuberant and affectionate boy with a zest for life that's truly infectious! This happy pup adores both people and other dogs, making him a perfect addition to any home. Rufus is already well-versed in the basics-he knows how to sit, is potty trained, and is highly food motivated, which makes training a breeze. Out on walks, Rufus can be a strong and energetic puller, so he'll do best with a harness to keep him comfortable and secure. But don't let his leash skills fool you-once indoors, Rufus transforms into a mellow, loving lapdog. He'll happily melt onto the floor, soaking up all the affection you're willing to give. If you're looking for a playful, loyal companion who will bring joy and love into your home, Rufus is the one for you. Come meet this wonderful boy and discover how his delightful personality can brighten your life! 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.

Story
Meet Hank! Age: Senior Breed: Golden Retriever mix Weight: 55lbs Good with: dogs (selective) and older children (not cat tested but low prey drive) House trained: yes Crate trained: does not use a crate, is trusted to free roam when foster is out Hank is a sweet, shy and gentle soul who is looking for a forever home where he and his stuffies can be loved. Hank can be reserved when meeting new people and requires an adults only home or a home with older children (teens+), he is slowly learning to enjoy affection from humans. He can be dog selective but has enjoyed the company of other calm, lower energy pups and would require a slow intro as they become familiar. Hank is a typical “Velcro dog” and enjoys being near his people so he prefers someone who is home often. As a 10 year old dog, Hank isn’t immune to some age related concerns. He is a bit hard of hearing and would benefit from glucosamine chews to keep his body feeling its best. He is still happy to join you on adventures and does great in the car, happy to be your travel buddy! Hank is a laid back pup who enjoys the simple things in life like a cozy dog bed and a chew toy. He’s a perfect gentleman in the home and enjoys snoozing at your feet while you work or relax. He walks well on a leash, but would love a backyard to slowly enjoy playing fetch or to lay in the sun. Do you have room in your home and heart for Hank? Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair).

Cesar

Golden Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 9 yrs 5 mos
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cesar is ready for his forever home! He is believed to be a Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix, around 9-10 years old and about 50ish pounds. He is a docile and sweet guy that is coming out of his shell in his foster home. Prior to coming to BAARK, Cesar spent the majority of his life on a homeless dog ranch in Texas where he did not get much one-on-one human contact. It does take him a little time to open up to people but after a couple days in his foster home, he soon became a “velcro dog” following his foster mom everywhere she goes. He is house broken (has had zero accidents in his foster home) and crate trained. He loves to sleep in his crate but does not need to be crated when left alone, or at night; he is free to roam with no issues. Cesar loves being outside and would love his forever family to have a secure, fenced yard. He has great leash manners and enjoys his daily walks, as well. He is good with other dogs with proper introduction and would do well with another calm dog in the home; he would be fine as an only dog too. We do not know how Cesar is with cats. A home without small children would be best for Cesar as he gets a bit nervous with loud noises and fast movements. Cesar is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, is heartworm negative and his senior bloodwork panel came back perfect. He is also neutered, microchipped and recently had a dental cleaning with appropriate extractions. Due to his having osteoarthritis, typical of larger dogs his age, he would do best continuing to take medications to help. Currently he is taking Omega 3s, Cosequin and Cortaflex Plus that have greatly helped him in his day to day movement. We believe Cesar is also a bit hard of hearing. If you’re looking for a low key, easy going smiley guy who loves to find a soft spot and take a nap, Cesar is your pup!

Waylon

Story
Meet wonderful Waylon! Waylon is a medium energy 6-year-old Retriever mix who weighs ~85 lbs. He loves walking, walkies, and W-A-L-K-S. His lesser loves include treatos, splashing around in his pool, and rolling around in the grass before or after splashing around in his pool. He has an opinionated, goofysweet personality that makes his foster smile every day.A best-fit home for Waylon would have humans who were about giving instead of getting, at least at the start. Waylon had bad experiences with humans in a past life so needs a home that will give him affection on his terms until you've earned his trust. His home would include all humans over the age of 13. Because of his past, Waylon needs proper introductions to strangers and for people to recognize when he needs space. Waylon's new humans should also enjoy walks. He is not a high energy pup, but walking is genuinely his favorite thing. One longer walk (~45 minutes) or a couple shorter walks almost every day would be his ideal.In addition to his general awesomeness, Waylon would delight his new humans by being house and crate-trained, riding well in a car, and knowing, if not always performing, basic commands like sit, wait, down, and please don't roll in that!He just needs a chance.You can also watch for stories, pictures, and videos about me on JR's Pups-N-Stuff's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/40103261297/ Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $400All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age-appropriate vaccinations. As required by Wisconsin Act 90, all dogs will have received a veterinarian exam (CVI) within the past 30 days.Our adoption process requires the submission of an application. Applications and Adoption Rules can be found on our website, on the "HOW TO ADOPT" tab at JRsPupsNStuff.org.
