Story
Chase — Your New Best Friend ❤️ Meet Chase, a lovable 4-year-old boy who truly is the total package! If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect family dog, Chase may be the one you’ve been waiting for. Chase is wonderful with kids and infants and has such a sweet, gentle personality. He loves being part of the family and is just as happy playing and having fun as he is curling up beside you for a relaxing afternoon. And yes, he even loves watching movies with his people! 🎬🐾 This silly boy has plenty of personality and absolutely melts hearts when you call him “Baby Chase.” One of his favorite things to hear is “Come and get me!” — just say those magic words and watch his face light up with happiness! Chase is house trained and crate trained, and he’s incredibly good at communicating with his people. He knows how to let you know when he needs to go outside or when he’s ready for a meal. He’s a smart, well-mannered boy who is ready to simply settle into his forever family and be loved. There’s no training project waiting for you here — Chase is ready to go! He’s sweet, silly, affectionate, family-friendly, and eager to spend his days making his people smile. After patiently waiting for his forever home, Baby Chase is hoping that his family is out there looking for him, too. ❤️ Stop in and meet Chase 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.

Bella Wella is living in a foster home in Lake Mills. Bella is a very sweet and affectionate dog. She may seem a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes a true Velcro dog as she loves being close to her person at all times. She’ll happily sit in your lap, curl up beside you, and follow you wherever you go. Bella has plenty of energy and loves to play, especially when it comes to a good game of fetch. She’s also very smart and learns quickly. She has figured out how to open some doors, climb stairs, and understand the rules of the household with surprising ease. She’s also very affectionate and loves giving her person lots of kisses. Overall, Bella Wella is a loving, playful, intelligent, and devoted companion who will happily become your constant little shadow.  Interested in adoption?

Story
Nugget is living in a foster home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, and will be adopted with her companion Pretty. Both were surrendered when their human family needed to move and couldn't take them with. They are adorable and sweet and looking for a forever home together! Nugget gets along well with all humans! She actually prefers to play with people versus other dogs. She loves her bonded sister Pretty. She is great and gentle with all humans and dogs. Nugget loves to be a lap dog and loves sunbathing outside and going on walks. The rescue helped her get a nose surgery so she can breathe better at a young age. Nugget is a wonderful eater, sleeper, snuggler and walker. She’s perfectly perfect and Pretty is the cherry on top for this duo of potato friends.   Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com.

Story
Winston is living in a foster home in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Winston is a typical pug...funny, sweet, and snorty! He does well with all the dogs and children in his foster home. Winston enjoys going on walks with his foster humans. His favorite activities are much more relaxing anyway, like lounging on the couch, snoozing in my dog bed, or stretching out on the rug. He likes to keep my napping locations interesting! Winston loves his toys and especially enjoys hearing that wonderful SQUEAK! He will play with his foster dog siblings from time to time, but he would much rather hang out with humans. Mealtime is definitely one of the highlights of his day! He is a super sweet dog!
