Story
Sir Fluffington is a gentle little soul with a heart full of quiet love. At 5–7 years old, this sweet Maltese has been through more than most, but he’s still holding onto hope for a soft place to land. He may have mouth cancer, but it doesn’t slow him down—he eats well and enjoys the simple comforts of life. What he truly needs is a patient, understanding home where he can feel safe and finally know what it means to be loved. He’s not asking for much… just kindness, comfort, and someone who won’t give up on him. He has no adoption fee but donations for his vet care that we have done are greatly appreciated.

Story
Meet Tiny Tiffany, a precious little Maltese with a gentle soul who is finally getting the chance to experience what love truly feels like. Tiny Tiffany came from a puppy mill situation and is now looking for a patient, loving home where she can learn that the world can be kind. She may be timid at first, but underneath that shy exterior is a sweet little dog who simply wants to feel safe, loved, and cared for. After spending her life being overlooked, Tiny Tiffany deserves a family who will show her what it means to be spoiled, cuddled, and cherished. She is looking for a calm home where she can slowly come out of her shell at her own pace and finally enjoy life the way every dog should.

Story
Meet Rocky Balboa, an adorable 13-pound Maltese Poodle mix with a gentle heart and sweet personality. Due to personal circumstances, his previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him, and now Rocky is looking for a loving new home where he can feel safe and secure. Rocky can be a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up to new people and environments. A quieter home would suit him best, allowing him the chance to settle in at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, Rocky’s playful and affectionate side begins to shine through, and he becomes a fun little companion who enjoys spending time with his people. This handsome boy is looking for a patient adopter who will give him the understanding and love he needs to build confidence and truly thrive. Stop in and meet my cute self 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.

Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Anderson Humane is not responsible for any unsuccessful adoptions. I am looking to rehome my 7 year-old Maltese who I’ve had since she was one year old. Her name is Princess and she has been a big part of my life and family m and is truly a sweet, gentle soul. Due to personal reasons and the care demands of another senior dog in my home who is also dealing with health issues, I’m no longer able to give Princess the level of care and attention she deserves. Princess does come with some challenges, and I want to be completely transparent so she can be placed in the right environment: • Bell’s palsy • Separation anxiety • Dental disease that will require ongoing care Despite these challenges, Princess is loving and bonds deeply with her person. She would do best in a calm, stable home with someone who has patience, compassion, and ideally experience with senior or special-needs dogs. A home where someone is around most of the day would be ideal. This decision comes from love, not lack of it. My goal is to ensure Princess is safe, cared for, and surrounded by understanding and kindness for the rest of her life. Please let me know if you can assist with Princess. Thanks so much! -Eugene & Keena Lewis

Story
********AVAILABLE******* Hi Everyone, My name is Baxter and I am a 6lb 6-7 year old Maltese. I’m hoping that I can find a family who is up for somewhat of a challenge. Maybe a Unicorn family so to speak? I’ve been called “A terrible dog”. Unpredictable and just plain crazy. People just haven’t been able to understand my quirks. I’m nothing but misunderstood!! I do need some time to adjust as something in my past has left me very nervous. My human mom passed away and I was put into the system. I’m used to a quiet and peaceful home. My human foster sister is my most favorite person ever and her mom is pretty nice too. If you have patience and lots of love I’m your guy! Am I a bit of a challenge? Maybe!! Am I cute as cute can be? Definitely!!, Am I worth the effort? You bet I am!! I am an adorable and smart little boy. When I like you….I would do anything for you!! If I don’t, then I’m a bit of a tiny Jerk!! Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I promise!! I am good with other animals. I get along with all sizes and ages of dogs. Please contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home if your my Unicorn!! I will come with the works (Neutered, 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, Misunderstood Baxter
