Story
Nelsa is a sweet girl who is 2 years old and loves attention, love and walks. She is very strong and interacts well with my 6 children. She doesn’t jump on them or get hyper. Our family has a new baby and it is very hard for us to attend to Nelsa’s needs. We have an older dog Emma who is a bichon mix. Nelsa and Emma do play together and chase each other. I am seeking a loving family to adopt her and give her the love and attention she needs.

Story
Marshmallow followed a young boy home while riding his bicycle and stayed around a couple of days until they reached out and I agreed to find a place in animal control for him to stay while I was waiting on a couple of dogs to leave. Well, that didn’t happen and he came to my place after getting his vetting done. What a playful, sweet and loving dog he is. He sleeps all night in his kennel and willingly goes in for a treat. He enjoys playing with the small dogs (by small, I mean puppies/pups 40 lbs or less) and lets them take toys right out of his mouth while he is playing. He was very skinny when he came to me and has gained 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks. He enjoys a little run in the yard and then he is ready to come inside. You can tell he has had a rough, rough life, but that all changed the day he followed the young boy home. If you are looking for a family companion, don't pass your chance up to have Marshmallow join yours. Apply at www.k9ei.dog He is estimated to be 18 months old, house and crate trained, dog social, child approved, around 65lbs, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives. He does have Heartworm Disease and has begun treatment. The rescue covers the cost of his treatment.

Story
Meet Smush, the big-hearted bulldog mix with a personality as hefty as his size! This gentle giant is known for his larger-than-life presence and charming quirks. Smush's enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of him, and he can be a bit mouthy when he's overexcited, but it's all part of his endearing nature. He's not one for long walks; instead, he prefers the comfort of being by his owner's side or bustling around the house, playing with his beloved squishy toys. While Smush adores his human companions, he isn't the biggest fan of other animals. He thrives best as the only pet in the household, where he can soak up all the attention and affection. Currently, Smush is on a diet to shed a few pounds and improve his health. He would thrive in a home that can support his weight loss journey with regular activity and a balanced diet. With his lovable personality and steadfast loyalty, Smush is sure to bring warmth and joy to any home. Whether he's snuggled up on the couch or happily playing indoors, Smush's big heart and gentle spirit make him a cherished member of the family. Smush is an All-Star dog! My adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption! Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get her off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Smush, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! When I arrived at Anderson Humane from Aurora Animal Control, I tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm positive dogs like me to be while going through treatments and recovering is with a loving and forever family like yours. If you choose to adopt me, the clinic staff will be with you every step of the way, answering questions and offering support. The process from detection to the final treatment is generally three months and involves some simple at-home steps to keep me safe while I recover. The last step in the process is a follow-up test six months after my treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful and the staff anticipates that I will fully recover! Yeah! And you should know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians. 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. I hope to meet you soon!

Story
Stan Age: 8 Gender: Male Breed: American Bulldog mix Weight: Approximately 80 lb Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Vaccinated: Yes Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Stan is being fostered in Chicago, IL. No out of state applicants, please. Energy level: Couch potato, with a maximum of 5 minutes of medium-ish energy when he pounces on his toys like a cat. Then needs another long nap. And then a nap from his nap. Stanley has a so many cute, goofy, funny things about him. First to thing I noticed ni the backseat of my car on his freedom ride is that he LOVES to roll on his back and kick his legs around. He does this when he's really happy, on the couch, on fuzzy blankets, and ni the grass on walks. He is not super toy-driven, but when he does want to partake ni one of his toys, Ithrow it and he runs and then pounces on it like a cat. It's the cutest thing ever. He has adeep WOF that doesn't come out often. He si definitely not a barker at ALL, but for whatever reason he always WOOFS at me when I'm brushing my teeth. He likes to look outside the window for his pit bull friend Brie. He woofs at her but he doesn't understand that she's deaf. He is currently working on his sign language. He does great on walks and loves to sniff around. He is not dog reactive on walks. He is not people reactive on walks. He walks on busy streetswell and is getting used to all of the city noises. He takes treats very gently, like a gentleman. He is a sweetheart and old soul. Stanley has such a chill personality, not hyper what so ever. He's a gentle giant. He’s a smart boy, eager to learn and he’s learned many new manners since being in a foster home and he does amazing in an apartment lifestyle. Stanley is a great dog if you work in or out of the home. He’s so chill he just sleeps and is perfectly content with or without you. Give him a comfy place to sleep and he’s happy. If you don't want to train a puppy or deal with the high energy of a young dog, he's the perfect dog for you! He's a great companion, he's very low maintenance, and would do well in a large variety of homes. If you're interested in meeting Stan, please fill out an application at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog

Story
Mikey formerly Mike Tyson is one of 4 boxer lab mixes that arrived here years ago as puppies. They all had human boxer names. He was adopted 3 years ago and when his family’s circumstances changed, rather than contact the rescue for assistance in rehoming him, his family gave him away to a coworker about 1 1/2 ago. Rover Rescue only learned of this because he was found by animal control and we were notified. He is skin and bones and has hair loss due to fleas and possibly mange. Animal Control was going to put him down because he was so scared and growling. I am so thankful that we were called!! Mikey is now back in foster care and doing great. He is being treated for his skin rash and he is loving all his furry friends. He is very sweet and was only growling because he was so terrified. It would’ve been a tragedy to lose him. This is the second time this poor fella found himself needing his life to be saved. He is looking for a FOREVER home. One where he can live the good life and not a hint of worry about where his next meal is coming from or if he has a tomorrow! It will take a little time for his coat to fill back in to the beautiful black and brindle boy that he was. He is house trained, crate trained, and sniffed the kitties at the vet without issue. He is also bilingual. He understands some English and Spanish commands. He is good with other dogs and people. He is altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you would like to meet this dog, please call or text Lorri, at 630-659-8814. Text is preferred. The adoption fee is $225. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
