Story
A few years ago, this sweet girl was found dumped along the fence of our rescue! She was skin and bones and needed immediate help, so we named her MayDay. Our best guess is she around 6 or 7 years old and a Great Dane/ Staffshire terrier mix. She is very gentle, loves people, and really enjoys car rides. Mayday gets along with males, but is not very playful with other dogs. She would do best as the only fur baby in the home. Since she has been a kennel dog her whole life, MayDay is not pot trained so she will need a family who understands that. This dear girl would love a chance to live out her days in the comfort of a home with a family who will love her! If you want to give MayDay that chance, find us at https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to fill out an application or on facebook (tails of the forgotten paws)

Story
Ushi is living in a foster home! Please submit an application from our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you're a match! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Don't be fooled by that pouty face- it is part of her charm! Ushi is as happy a dog as they come. Ushi arrived to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control as a young pup in March of 2025. This skinny young thing had come down with the "shelter ick," and sadly that turned into a case of pneumonia. We nursed Ushi to health and were so happy when she as adopted the next month. Unfortunately, Ushi's adopters made the difficult decision to re-home her recently. We were glad to welcome her back and in awe of how much she had grown! She is a beautiful young lady, with the exact same pout she had as a puppy. Ushi is beautifully built-- she is long and lean-- and because her adopters did a DNA test we know she is a Great Dane/pittie mix! While it is sad that Ushi has once again found herself in need of a home, the good news is that because she had a home for so many months we know a great deal about her. We know that she is great with all people, housebroken, and crate trained. She knows several commands, and is very well behaved inside of the home. Sometimes, of course, she gets the zoomies, but her adopters described her as a great dog to work from home alongside. They write, "Ushi has so many best qualities. She is sweet, eager to please, learns very quickly, calms down quickly even after periods of intensity. Ushi rarely barks, even at activity out the window, is not prey driven, lets me snuggle her, and self-entertains during the work day. Ushi is doing great at recall exercises outside on a long leash, and is working on "place" exercises at home. Ushi does really well on "place" at the training facility we go to. Ushi doesn't rush or run out the door (we've trained on that). Ushi doesn't counter-surf (we have been careful not to give her the opportunity by not leaving stuff counter edges). Ushi doesn't steal socks, shoes or things that aren't hers, with the rare exception....I could go on." Ushi is now in a wonderful foster home, and her foster describes her as "an angel". When we asked for a description of Ushi, here is what her foster had to say - "Ushi is so lovable! Ushi will make a great pet for a person or family with the right environment. Ideally a yard, with walks, she also does well on runs! She settles in after being outside, and loves to watch the city life and observe, but doesn't bark! She already knows basic commands which is lovely but could benefit more from some additional training, as she is still a puppy! She will melt your hear with her snuggles, cuddles, and tummy rubs. The pouty princess secretly is having a blast despite her face!” Ushi would be a great dog for an owner who enjoys training and working with their dog. She would also be a great dog for someone who already has a dog, as she has great dog-dog social skills! Ushi is a wonderful pup who is a ready-made companion for someone who wants a dog that is young but pretty laid back, polite, social, and intelligent. Which is...everyone?! We hope! Please inquire about Ushi today! Ushi’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Mr Loyal! That is what describes this boy in one word. Romo was once owned by someone in Aruba who then moved to the Netherlands. They gave him to some friends that let him roam the streets. We found him strolling along at a bus stop with a huge hematoma on his ear. He jumped right in the car and we took him to the vet. He had surgery and has now recovered from it. We were asked to take him with us to the US as the new owners didn't have the means to take care of him. Romo is an extremely loyal dog, calm and quiet and at the same time friendly with people and dogs. He's is extremely well mannered. Call us to hear about him and learn why we think he is the most loyal dog. His previous owner says he is 4 years old ( the vet says 5) and if you look on our Facebook page you will see all his posts about him. Oh and yes he loves riding in the car with you. He is house broken, does not like the cage to much, but that's ok. He doesn't get himself in trouble in the house. This is a great big dog! He mostly looks like a Great Daner, but could also have some Labrador in it. He is not a drooler like the Danes are. He likes other dogs but will also do well when being just with his special person. We would like to adopt him out within 40 miles of Elgin. His adoption fee is $350 to help us with the cost for his plane ride and the associated vet expenses.

Story
Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Story
Meet Chico! This handsome Great Dane mix puppy is sure to steal your heart with his beautiful coat and those adorable tall ears that always seem to be listening for the next adventure. Chico is an energetic boy who wakes up ready to take on the day, whether that means playtime, learning something new, or spending time with his favorite people. Chico’s foster says he is incredibly intelligent and already picking up on training quickly. He has learned to “sit and wait” patiently when receiving his meals, and he even rings the bells on the patio door to let his foster know he needs to go outside—how smart is that? He is also currently working on crate training and continuing to build his good manners. When it’s time to play, Chico is all in! He especially loves plush toys and will happily spend time tossing them around or carrying them proudly. He’s a very sweet boy who truly enjoys being around his people and would love a home where he can be part of the fun and grow alongside his new family. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving puppy to share your days with, Chico might just be your perfect match! 🐾 Stop in and meet Chico in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. 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.
