Story
Looking for a loyal companion with personality plus? Sherlock is your guy! This clever pup may have started life solving mysteries on his own, but now his greatest investigation is finding his forever home. Sherlock is a character with a silly, goofy, rule-bending personality. His favorite way to show affection? A good game of fetch! In fact, if you want to win this detective's heart, just bring a tennis ball to your meet-and-greet. The perfect partner for Sherlock will understand his unique needs. He is protective by nature, and his ideal home would be an adult-only household that can provide structure and consistency. Sherlock is very wary of strangers and it takes him some time to warm up to new people. But once you're in his inner circle, you'll discover a deeply affectionate and sweet soul who will bring endless joy to your life. He's currently working with trainers to polish his good-boy skills and is excited to show them off to the right family. Sherlock is dog-selective – he prefers dogs that are more playful and relaxed. He doesn’t get along with cats, however, and prefers to keep his investigations feline-free. Ready to be the Watson to this Sherlock? Contact us to learn more about this special boy!

Story
Zoey has it all…she’s gorgeous, personable, sociable, and…wants to be your best friend. Yes, Zoey is a Great Pyrenees, estimated to be 2 years old, weighing about 73 lbs. She’s super sweet, very loving, and very easy going. She loves people and is good with other dogs. She is fine with cats too! She’s a perfect family dog. She loves long walks, cuddling with her person, and playing with her favorite toys in the secure back yard of her foster home. Zoey will make you smile and laugh every day. An ideal home for Zoey would have a secure, large above-ground fenced yard (6 ft., one she can not climb over!). A canine friend would be nice but Zoey would be fine as an only dog as well. Awareness of the needs of the breed is a must! They require regular grooming and of course plenty of attention. In the case of Zoey, she also is looking for plenty of cuddles, affection….and toys! Experience with the Great Pyrenees is a requirement. Zoey fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round preventative, spayed and microchipped. She is housebroken as well. If you are able to meet all of Zoey’s needs and have Great Pyrenees experience, and would like to add her to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Note that BAARK is located in the NW suburbs of Chicago, and adopts local to our area.

Story
Meet Nellie Nellie, a Great Pyrenees, joined BAARK when her owner was no longer able to care for himself, much less her. As such, she was in pretty rough physical condition when she was surrendered, but clearly had received plenty of attention and love. Nellie is estimated to be 7-8 years old and weighs about 80 lbs. When meeting new people, Nellie is a little shy at first. We believe that this is because she had very little exposure to new people when with her previous owner. However, in her foster home, with patience and, in following the lead of her new canine friends, Nellie has really blossomed. She now gives kisses and lots of tail wags when her foster mom and dad get home from work. She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. In typical Great Pyr fashion, she loves patrolling the fence line and she is especially in tune to large birds flying overhead. Her foster family appreciates her level of alert, as Nellie watches over her much smaller foster brother and sisters in the home. Nellie is housebroken and is just fine being un-crated at home by herself. Nellie joined our rescue organization back in June. She is just becoming available for adoption as she has a long recovery from a mass removal on her paw pad (benign). She has 3 toes on that paw but gets around just fine. Nellie is in overall great health. She’s spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventative. If you are interested in adding this wonderful senior to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Story
Boone is a sweet, gentle, Great Pyrenees mix with a calm, quiet demeanor. He is estimated to be about 3 years but has an older aura about him. In fact when we agreed to bring Boone into our rescue organization, we expected that he was a senior; he was in such bad shape and completely emaciated. He had been found laying along a highway, too weak to move on his own. He was horribly matted and full of caked dirt.Over the last weeks, Boone has been working on building up his strength and also getting back to a good weight. He’s been getting plenty of exercise walking around in the large fenced-in yard of his foster home. He’s also been eating good high-quality food, and receiving beneficial supplements too. He’s definitely on track to becoming a healthy dog, a healthy 3 year old dog! In addition, his fur is growing back nicely as he evolves into a very handsome boy! Boone currently weighs 75 lbs.Initially Boone was timid and scared of new things. However he has been blossoming and gaining confidence every day, thanks to the other dogs in his foster home, and his interest in what they are doing.An ideal home for Boone is a quieter environment, with 1-2 calm dogs. He could be ok as an only dog too. Cat experience is unknown but we expect he would be uninterested in cats.A one-level home is best for Boone, as he struggles going up and down flights of stairs, but is ok with 2-3 stairs. Carpeted flooring or, hardwood floors covered with area rugs, would also be helpful in ensuring Boone does not slip on hard surface floors.Boone is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and on year-round preventative, neutered and microchipped, He is housebroken and crate trained. When home alone, he can be left uncrated without getting himself into trouble!If you are interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in the Barrington Area, and adopts local to our area.

Story
Buddy is a Great Pyrenees (possibly Mix), about 3 years old.  He was found lying in a ditch along the road, in Louisiana. Who knows how many drivers passed him by as he lay there, suffering for days before one person stopped to help him. He was barely able to walk, he was so emaciated and dehydrated. And it was obvious that he had a bad injury to his right hind leg.The Good Samaritan took him to her home to nurse him back to health but recognized she could not keep him. Thankfully we learned of her need for help for Buddy and, he was able to join us early this summer.Upon his arrival, Buddy was found to be heartworm positive. He’s been undergoing treatment and his final treatment is the end of August.  We expect him to be cleared and heartworm-free thereafter. This is only one of the medical challenges faced by Buddy.Buddy has been doing great, gaining weight and beginning to look healthy. He currently weighs 87 lbs. He can afford to gain  a few more pounds; we anticipate his idea weight to be  95 lbs.So all is good with Buddy in moving toward his heartworm-free status and his gaining weight…and strength.  However, as noted above, Buddy does have a bad leg injury; he may have been hit by a car and that injury/fracture was never addressed.As such his right hind leg is “frozen” into an elevated position.  An initial vet exam concluded that Buddy is not in pain due to this injury but we’d like to still have him examined by an orthopedic surgeon to be sure that keeping the leg will not cause future problems…vs amputation as another option.It seems Buddy has gotten use to the positioning of his right hind leg; he gets around fine and, now that he’s getting plenty of exercise at his foster home, his left hind leg has become much stronger and he’s become very agile with no trouble getting around. He can manage a few stairs in his home but cannot run up an entire staircase.Buddy is a true lover of nature! He loves to be outside at all times and sometimes his foster mom has trouble convincing him to come inside! As such a secure fenced yard is an absolute MUST in his forever home, so he can spend as much time as possible outside!!  It would also be beneficial to allow Buddy to come in and out whenever he wants (i.e., a doggy door). Buddy does well, home alone. He is not crated but is allowed to be free in the home and is not destructive in any way.He absolutely love the attention of people especially if those people are females.  As such an all-female household is best for Buddy. He seems scared of men which likely is a result of past mistreatment. Buddy is also very good, and gentle, with children.An ideal family for Buddy…Great Pyrenees experience, a female-only household, a secure fenced yard, and a willingness to allow Buddy to spend lots of time outside!  And, of course, plenty of attention and love!!!Buddy is up to date on all vaccinations, and will soon be heartworm negative (last treatment end of August). He must be on year-round heartworm prevention as should all dogs .   Buddy also benefits from a daily joint supplement as well as a good-quality source of omega-3’s and 6’s. Neutering and microchipping are also included in his adoption fee. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to this special boy, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.  BAARK is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to our area.

Story
Meet Papaya! 🧡 Papaya is a gentle soul with a sweet heart who is looking for a patient family to help her blossom. New experiences, loud noises, and unfamiliar people can make her feel a little uncertain, so she'll thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Once Papaya begins to feel comfortable, she enjoys gentle pets, playtime, and spending time with the people she trusts. She's also happy to have a cozy kennel or quiet space to retreat to when she needs a little downtime, making her the perfect companion for someone who understands the importance of letting a dog recharge. Papaya can get so excited to see her favorite people that she may have a few happy accidents, but with patience, consistency, and confidence-building, she'll continue to grow. If you're looking for a kind-hearted companion and are willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves, Papaya will reward you with a lifetime of quiet love and loyal friendship. I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. 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.
