Meet Mia Bella! 🐾 Mia Bella is a beautiful 2-year-old Boxer/Mastiff mix weighing 66 pounds. This sweet girl came to Anderson Humane from a partner shelter in Louisiana alongside her nine puppies. Now that her puppies are growing up, it's finally Mia Bella's turn to find the loving forever home she deserves. Mia Bella is a gentle, easygoing companion with a heart full of love. She may take a little time to feel comfortable with new people—especially men—but once you've earned her trust, she'll be your biggest fan. Cuddles, affection, and spending time by your side are some of her favorite things, and her serious expression is simply deceiving—deep down, she just wants to be your best friend. This lovely girl enjoys treats, toys, and relaxing outside, soaking up the fresh air at her own pace. She's crate-trained, potty-trained, and wonderfully quiet, making her an easy addition to the home. Mia Bella is also a fast learner who loves to please and is already making great progress with cues like sit, paw, down, and stay. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with endless love and cuddles, Mia Bella is ready to steal your heart. When Mia Bella arrived at Anderson Animal Shelter, she tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm-positive dogs like Mia Bella to recover and complete treatment is in a loving forever home. If you choose to adopt Mia Bella, our clinic staff will support you every step of the way by answering questions and providing guidance throughout her treatment. The process generally takes about three months and involves some simple at-home care to help keep her safe while she recovers. The final step is a follow-up test six months after treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful, and the staff anticipates that Mia Bella will make a full recovery! It's also important to know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal through mosquito bites. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with lots of love to give, Mia Bella is ready to meet you! 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.

Janet - Female Mastiff/Shepherd/Terrier Mix (Breed and size at full growth are BEST GUESS ONLY) Hi! I’m Janet.  I am a cute, soft, and fluffy mixed breed puppy filled with love, affection, and playfulness.  I am confident, energetic, curious, and love to explore.  I enjoy playing with my puppy sister and my foster’s dog.  I love attention from anyone – kids and adults - but can nip because I’m a puppy.  I like to spend time chewing on bones, tugging with my puppy sister on a rope toy, running around the backyard, and exploring.  I am very affectionate and, when I am not playing, I will relax and take a nap.  I am doing very well with potty training and will let my foster parents know when I need to go outside.  I am smart and loving.
