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
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!

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.
