Story
Tootsey is happy trotting smushface. Talk about being greeted with a smile everyday when you come home. She is a love bug, she enjoys belly rubs and quality time. Toots girl was sadly left behind by an owner that passed from a car accident. She and her mother found shelter and safety with a foster that has tended to them for an extended period of time. This sweet girl is crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, is a friendly pup to all people. She is somewhat of a slug and little hippo. She enjoys laying around in heaps of fluff, eating yummy treats and bringing loving vibes to any home. Tootsey would love to live in a family but as an only dog or pet. She doesn’t do the best with other animals but is easy to control and would be more than happy to have a beautiful yard to herself.  Consider giving this girl that’s waited 2 long years a cozy spot on your couch.  To ask about Tootsey, please contact us directly by calling  847-338-3252  or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Bernie – A Shy Teddy Bear with a Heart of Gold If you’re looking for a gentle soul wrapped in soft fur, Bernie might just be your perfect match. This sweet boy can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a bit of time and patience, and you’ll soon discover his true personality — a warm, snuggly teddy bear who will happily melt into your heart. Once Bernie feels safe, his affectionate side shines. He adores quiet moments spent getting chin scritches, or simply lounging beside you as the world drifts by. Outside, Bernie’s happiest with his nose to the ground, taking in all the wonderful smells nature has to offer. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a sunny afternoon soaking up fresh air, Bernie finds joy in life’s peaceful moments. This clever pup already has excellent manners — he’s potty trained, crate trained, knows his name, and has solid leash skills. He’s also eager to learn and would love to continue growing with a patient family who enjoys gentle training sessions (and plenty of treats — he’s quite the cookie connoisseur!). Bernie would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can take his time to settle in and feel secure. He’d also be perfectly happy sharing his space with a friendly canine companion who can show him the ropes. If you’re searching for a loyal friend who will reward your kindness with unconditional love and quiet companionship, Bernie is waiting to meet you. Bernie's Favorite Things: Treats: Jerky! Any kind will do, but soft chicken flavored jerky is his top pick Activity: Car rides Relaxation: Sniffy walks Cues Bernie Knows: Sit Down Touch Stay Come Heel Shake/Paw Crate-trained Bernie is an All-Star dog! His 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 them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Bernie, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! 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. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Bernie, while he waits for his forever home!

Story
Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at victoria.malagon@petsuitesofamerica.com and/or (630) 492-0907. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Lisee is a very friendly and cuddly girl who loves spending her days sunbathing and napping in any comfy spot she can find, including your lap! She needs lots of time and patience when meeting new dogs so being a single dog household is preferred. She is good with cats as long as they give her space she can coexist with them. She loves all people big and small and has yet to meet a treat she isn't willing to taste.

Story
Get a load of this work of art! Meet Ardy; he is that once-in-a-lifetime type of dog you can`t forget! He has a very striking appearance: bug-eyed, paired with a crooked smile you won`t be able to contain your laughter when you see him. But don`t laugh for too long—he has a sass mouth and a nasty side eye! Ardy walks great on a leash and he gets along well with other dogs, though he is a little socially awkward and mostly stares rather than trying to play. He is more of a people kind of dog, taking pets and giving kisses to everyone he meets. If you`re looking for a best friend who will keep you entertained with his quirky personality and unwavering devotion, Ardy is your guy.Call Helping Paws and come meet this handsome, one-of-a-kind boy!

Brucie

Boxer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Puppy
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Brucie is a very handsome, young boy looking for a forever home of his own. We believe he is a Boxer mix, sporting a very attractive brindle coat. We estimate Brucie’s date of birth at February 10, 2021. At the time of this posting he is just under two years old. He is about 60 lbs. Brucie loves people and is very affectionate. Given his size and energy level, he would not be an ideal canine companion for younger children. We expect children over the age of 12 would be ok. And of course, an all-adult home would be perfect for Brucie! Brucie is very active and energetic, and sometimes can get carried away with his play. He loves running in the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. He keeps himself entertained; he would not do well in a dog park or day care. An ideal home for Brucie is one in which he can thrive as an only dog, with a family experienced with larger dogs who sometimes can get out of hand. Brucie’s only “watch-out” is that he can be a bit of a resource guarder with his food and bones, but this issue can readily be managed as he gets to know his new family and as they learn more about him!! As is the case with all young, larger dogs, Brucie would greatly benefit from obedience training which can also be a bonding experience with his new family. No doubt, Brucie has the potential to evolve into the perfect pup, but is looking for that family willing to commit to him and provide him the forever home he deserves. Brucie is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered & microchipped and on year-round heartworm prevention. BAARK is located in the Chicago area; we adopt our dogs only local to the Chicago area. If you are interested in adding Brucie to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Alpine

Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 5 mos
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Alpine is sure a unique-looking young boy; he is thought to possibly be a Bull Terrier Mix?? He’s estimated to be about 50 lbs. His estimated date of birth is June 5th 2023. Alpine is a typical young pup, very energetic and playful. He likes to jump and can sometimes forget himself and be a little too rough with other dogs. But….…he is young and needs to learn boundaries and manners in order to evolve into a wonder family member with a forever family he so deserves.. Alpine likes playing with other dogs; he’s great with dogs and would enjoy the companionship of another dog in the home. However because of his high energy level, he may be too much for another dog, and be happy as an only dog, with an active family and possibly older kids to keep him busy and active! An ideal family for Alpine is one able to assimilate the enthusiasm and playfulness of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Alpine to be the best version of himself! A secure fenced yard is required; another younger or middle-aged pup in the family could also be advantageous. But he’d be great as an only dog too!! Alpine is crate-trained and housebroken. He is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is neutered and microchipped. For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Story
Meet Bear: A Big-Hearted Brindle Beauty 🐾 Bear is a striking young Boxer mix with a gorgeous dark brindle coat and a personality as bold as his looks. Born around February 10, 2021, Bear is almost 5 years old and weighs about 60 lbs—full of energy and charm. 💙 Personality & Quirks: Bear is a people-loving pup who’s always eager for attention and affection. He’s not your typical chewer—but he does have a curious palate and has been known to sample rocks, sticks, and toys. His future family will need to keep a watchful eye to ensure he stays safe and avoids non-edible temptations. 🐕 Activity & Environment: Bear thrives in a secure, fenced yard where he can run and play to his heart’s content. He’s high-energy and sometimes gets a little carried away with his enthusiasm, so dog parks and daycare aren’t the best fit. He’s happiest as an only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ideal Home: - Adults or families with children over 12 - Experience with large, energetic dogs - A commitment to ongoing training and structure - A safe environment free of tempting chewables Bear would flourish in a home that understands his playful spirit and is ready to guide him with patience and consistency. Obedience training will not only help him grow into his best self—it’ll be a wonderful bonding experience for his new family. 🩺 Health & Vetting: Bear is: - Fully vetted - Up to date on vaccinations - Neutered and microchipped - Heartworm negative and on year-round preventative 📍 Adoption Info Bear is being fostered through BAARK Dog Rescue, located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
