Story
This delightful little fella is Post Malone, a 7 year old Maltese with the sweetest disposition. Post Malone is great with other dogs and has been fine with strangers he's met! He's a medium energy guy who enjoys a good snooze. He is doing well with walks, uses the stairs like a champ, and is doing so well with potty training! Good job, buddy! We think Post will do well in just about any home. He would love to have a dog buddy but it's not necessary. He has such a nice demeanor that we think he'd do well with kids. He just loves company and likes to be where his people are! If you are looking for a sweet little guy who happens to have the cutest face and underbite, Post Malone will be a wonderful family dog for his lucky people! He'd love to meet you! Adoption fee: $550

Story
I am in Yorkville Il awaiting my forever family******* Hi Everyone, My name is Thunder Bird, and I would like to add some wags to your tail. I am a precious 13-week-old Mali-Shi (Shih Tzu/Maltese) baby who is looking for my forever people!! True to the adorable-sounding name, Mal-Shi's are cute, friendly and outgoing dogs that are one of the most popular hybrid dogs. They are highly trainable, love people of all ages and make great companions. They are also known as a Multi-zu, and the Malti- Tzu. Malt-Shi dogs are small in stature, but they make up for it with big hearts. They are loyal, loving to a fault, and capture the hearts of anyone they lay their eyes on. These dogs captured the hearts of the world around the 2000s when the designer breed became truly popular. I am going to make an excellent addition to a loving family!! I am adorable, smart, loving and sweet as sweet can be. I have a great temperament!! Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am a breeder release. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact adoptions@wagginghearts.org for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (Spayed, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested if age appropriate, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Thunder Bird

Story
Buster is the happiest little dog you will ever meet. It's hard to look at him and not smile. He came to us kind of scraggly but after a nice grooming, a dental and some TLC, he is feeling fine. Buster lost his loving home when his owner passed away. We are looking for the perfect home for him to live out his golden years. Buster has Cushing's Disease but is not needing treatment at this time. Cushing's disease (also known as Cushing’s syndrome) is a condition in which the adrenal glands overproduce certain hormones. Don't let this stop you from adopting this special senior. Did we mention he is great with other dogs?_________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Buster is $ 300.00WANT TO MEET BusterThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Buster and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes. This gives us the ability to really get to know the animals we have available and find them families that are a good fit for them based on their personalities. We do not have a shelter to visit the animals.
