Story
Meet Your New Best Friend! Hello there! I'm a playful pup who loves car rides and snuggling up in my foster mom's purse. I adore playing with toys and get along wonderfully with other dogs. Right now, I'm staying in a warm and safe foster home in Buffalo Grove, IL. My foster mom is taking great care of me until I find my forever family. Please note, I'm still learning the ropes of potty training, just like a little baby! I'm looking for a lifetime commitment from loving adopters. If you're interested in adopting me, please apply atthecharlieprojectdogrescue.com. Once approved, you'll pick me up in Buffalo Grove. Important Information Adoption Fee: $800, which includes my microchip, vaccines, deworming, and spay/neuter at our rescue vet. If you prefer your vet to handle the spay/neuter, well reimburse $100 with proof, provided it's done before I'm six months old. An enforceable contract will be signed to ensure this. If you're renting, please have your landlord ready to email us confirming that dogs are allowed in your home. We're eager to find a forever home, but please apply through our website, as we do not respond to emails from Petfinder. Thank you! Please visit our website www.thecharlieprojectdogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Eddie just can’t seem to catch anyone’s eye or heart. He’s a precious boy, estimated to be 10 years old, weighing about 20 lbs. But for Eddie, age is just a number!! He’s an active, fast-moving, but cuddly guy. He is looking for a family who will play with him, play ball, and make sure his toy box is overflowing with toys of all kinds. Once he’s finished playing, he will want to cuddle under the covers with his person! Eddie absolutely needs another dog or even two, in his family. He’s more of a follower than a leader! He gets along with dogs of all sizes and loves to out-sprint everyone, racing around the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. Older kids (12++) may be ok but he’s too energetic for younger ones. Eddie is housebroken; he does not need to be crated when left home alone. When his person is home, he absolutely loves to be nearby!! Eddie is in overall good health, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and heartworm negative/on year-round heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adding this precious pup to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in Barrington IL, and adopts only local to our area.

Story
Rugrat is neither a rug or a rat. He is an adorable 5-year old terrier mix who never met a lap he didn't like or a treat he didn't want to eat. Rugrat thrives when he in the company of people - both adults and kids, even little ones. He is also wonderful with other dogs. Rugrat is fairly low-key. A short walk, a quick run around the yard and he is happy to be back in his foster home. During quiet times he either retreats to his crate or to his foster mom's lap. Rugrat has been a hit at the adoption events he has attended. This friendly little couch potato is ready to be your new best friend. Please note that Rugrat was abused in his previous home and can sometimes be reactive to new adults. Who can blame him?! He is most comfortable with patient, kind and understanding people. Aren't we all?! Rugrat's foster mom and her grandchildren have fallen in love with him. We know the perfect home is out there. Please reach out to learn more about this special little boy._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Rugrat is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET RugratThe 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 Rugrat and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Stop by and meet me at many other adorable puppies and dogs at our adoption Event on Saturday, July 12th. The event begins at 11 AM and runs until 3 PM. The location is at the Do It Best Hardware Store in St. Charles: 3619 E. Main Street. See you there! Hi, I'm Dottie! Thanks for checking me out! My foster says: Dottie is a super playful and outgoing pup who loves having fun—whether she’s wrestling with her doggy pals or entertaining herself with a toy. She’s a big fan of tug-of-war, fetch, and anything that keeps her busy and moving! Dottie is currently working on all the important puppy basics like crate training, potty training, walking on a leash, and learning her cues like “sit” and “down.” She’s still adjusting to her crate and may cry a bit when first going in, but she’s making great progress with a consistent routine. Like any curious pup, Dottie needs supervision during playtime as she’s still learning what’s okay to chew (watch those shoes and rugs!). With structure, love, and plenty of playtime, Dottie is going to make a wonderful and joyful addition to her forever home! I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email bloomingdale@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 90. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! 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 pa
