Story
Meet Ringo, a 1-year-old English Bulldog/Pug mix weighing about 45lbs. Ringo has had a rough start and is looking for a patient, dedicated home to help him blossom. He is dog friendly and very curious about other dogs, we think it would be very beneficial to have a friendly, confident dog in the home. Ringo can jump or climb any barrier or fence. He cannot be off leash outside at all as he will escape and run away. Ringo is quite nervous and will need a couple meet and greets to get comfortable. Once he is comfortable, he thinks he is a lap dog and will jump onto staff or into their laps. His ideal home would be without kids and in a quieter environment, away from a lot of traffic.If interested in Ringo, please understand he will be foster-to-adopt as he will need time to decompress. We also have a behaviorist we utilize to help with the transition and adjustment.

Story
Hello,this is Buggs , a 1 year old, pug/chih mix male intact. he was brought to us from my aunt who lived next to his original family. he was always found outside in any weather conditions with no food or water. he has gotten loose multiple times that other people in neighborhood got concerned. Animal control was contacted and owners were told they need to give him up due to neglect. My aunt couldn't bare seeing him go to a scary shelter so she called us. We've only had him for a few days. We really need to find a good home as soon as possible. We already have three dogs in my house. He is such a love bug (hence his name) and has such a playful personality. Unfortunately he is not house trained nor has vaccines up to date (updated vaccines 4/1) since he's never been to a vet according to past owners. but besides that he is full of energy and is such a sweet boy!

Story
This is a story that will tug at your heart. Hi. It’s me. Ava. Yes, I have the little squishy pug face. Yes, I am about six years old. Yes, I am soft in every possible way. They found me wandering around Calumet City. Just out there. Alone. I am a tiny girl and the world is big. Bigger when you cannot see it very well. We think I am blind. Or close to it. What I know for sure is that I navigate with my heart. The shelter was not the place for a girl like me. Too loud. Too fast. Too much. The rescue stepped in because no one wanted me trying to survive like that. I am not a high-maintenance diva. I am a calm, docile, snuggly little lady. I move slowly. I listen carefully. I memorize the shape of a room. Once I learn it, I am good. I will toddle around like I own the place. What I really want is a person. Someone patient. Someone steady. Someone kind. Someone who does not mind being my eyes. I will follow your voice. I will lean into your legs. I will curl into you like I have known you forever. I am the kind of dog who bonds deep. Not flashy. Not chaotic. Just loyal. Devoted. Yours. If your home is quiet and your heart is open, I think we might fit together perfectly. I am probably fine with dogs, cats and kids, but since I want a quiet home, I am going to try to be your solo love bug for now. Is that okay? Come be my world. I promise I will make you mine. Update - 03/19/2026:She is an attention seeker. She hears a voice and she jumps up to find you. LOVES FOOD. she does not like it if you take too long to get her bowl ready. She has started doing a low grumbling bark when she thinks your taking to long. Loves to cuddle and be close to her people. Can this girl get any cuter?We can't imagine what she went through when she faced uncertainty and is blind. Our hearts broke. We had to keep her safe and give her a chance at finding a loving home. Will you foster or adopt her? Please apply. She needs your love and care. ##2666687##

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pugsworth is a bundle of personality, playfulness, and love! This energetic guy is always ready for fun — whether it’s a romp in the yard, a game of fetch, or just zooming around to show off his goofy charm. When playtime’s over, Pugsworth is just as happy to soak up some affection and enjoy a good snuggle. He’s got a sweet heart and a fun-loving spirit, but he also marches to the beat of his own drum — confident, curious, and delightfully unique. He would do best in a home with adults and older children who are able to handle his energy and playfulness. Pugsworth is your guy if you’re looking for a pup who’s equal parts playful and loving, and who will always keep life interesting!

Story
🐾✨ Meet Tatum ✨🐾 She’s a bit bigger than your average pug (currently 23 pounds) and packed with even more personality. Tatum still has that fun puppy energy and gets excited about walks, treats, and spending time with her favorite people, but overall she is a very chill, laid-back girl. Her absolute favorite thing in the world is cuddling. If there’s a lap nearby, she will happily curl up in it like she was made to be there. She loves being close to her humans and is basically a professional snuggle buddy. Tatum is also incredibly gentle and kind-hearted. Even when taking treats, she is soft and careful — no grabbing or roughness, just the sweetest little mouth ever. She has such a calm, loving nature that it’s impossible not to fall in love with her the moment you meet her. Whether she’s bringing goofy puppy energy, lounging beside you for naps, or melting into your lap for cuddles, Tatum is the perfect mix of playful, peaceful, and absolutely adorable. 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.
