Story
This handsome mug belongs to Porkchop! Porkchop is an 11 month old Bulldog mix who weighs about 60 pounds! He is a happy boy who loves to play with the resident dogs in his foster home. He's cautious and can be a nervous nelly, so slow introductions to new dogs, kids, and humans work best for this guy. He would love to have a confident and relaxed dog buddy in his forever home! After he gets used to new people, he loves to dole out kisses :) Porkchop is pen and crate trained, and potty trained! He's a young dog so he will need continued training and direction in his forever home. He thrives with routine and repetition. This includes his walk routes! He enjoys going for walkies but he likes to stick to a route he's comfortable with since new things can be scary! Porkchop's dream home is one where his humans will keep up with his training and help him build confidence, and give hime time and space to adjust to new things. He's such a sweet buddy who loves belly rubs, attention, and food, and he always gets so excited to see his humans when they come home! If you'd like to be showered with kisses every time you walk through the door, don't sleep on Porkchop! Porkchop's adoption fee is $650.

Story
Hi, I'm Arwen and I am so glad you are taking a look at me. I am a 70-pound ball of energy and personality! I would love a family that can keep up with me. I would prefer to be the only dog in your home, but I have the potential for playdates. I've made friends with the kennel staff and training team. I would prefer to have a small group of friends, sometimes the little humans can be scary! Would you like to be my friend? Arwen is working on her basic cues and loose leash walking. This girl LOVES food and toys. She is very motivated to train! I would love to be a hiking buddy, and outside is my favorite and I like to parkour! Rock, benches, tree stumps, you name it, I want to jump on it. My favorite things: Being outside! I love to soak in the sun, smell all the smells, and adventure with my trainers. Cream cheese and chicken are my favorite treats Stuffy toys Car rides Enrichment boxes Booty scratches (once we a friends) Cues that I know: Sit, down Touch Working on muzzle training Loose leash walking Relaxation Arwen is an All-Star dog! Her adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and she will go home with his 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 Arwen, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you!

Story
Meet Frosty! Oh! Hello, my name is Frosty. You can't sneak up on me like that, I'm deaf and can't hear you coming. If you just stomp your foot a little, then I can feel the vibrations. You could also be really gentle when waking me, or if I'm awake, you could wave your hand to make sure I see you. I'm a super good boy, and I must have been loved at one point because I'm a well trained gentleman. I go potty outside, I do very well with humans 13 and up. No little humans please! I haven't met any cats, and I'm selective about my dog friends and would rather be able to show you all of my love without others interfering, so I would do best as your one and only. Now that I'm a 70-pound senior, I'm looking to be loved by humans who will want me forever! I really enjoy cozy, warm places to nap and will even wear a sweater to help me stay warm in the cold temps. Boy, no one told me it was going to be so cold in Wisconsin! I love to go on sniffari walks and play a little with my stuffies inside the house. But the thing I love the most is getting to spend time with my people. Snuggles on the couch or in the big bed, butt scratchies and getting pets are some of my all-time favorite things. Foster mom says I have the best personality and can be quite a goof from time to time. She says I've been the best house guest, and anyone would be lucky to have me in their home! I don't need to be in a crate while you're away because I don't chew on things that aren't mine, and I'd do awesome going anywhere you'd like to take me. All in all, I'm a pretty well-rounded guy just looking for someone who needs a loving companion to make their days brighter! I sure hope that's you! *Frosty has a neuter appointment scheduled for Jan 30, and can go to his forever home after that. *Frosty is being fostered in Plover, WI.
