Story
Meet Oreo – Your Perfect-Size Snuggle Buddy Who doesn’t love an Oreo? I’m Oreo, an 11-month-old, 43-pound bully mix from Texas, and I’m just the right size for your heart and your couch. I’m a curious, affectionate pup who loves to watch the world from the window—dogs, people, squirrels, you name it. I’m super food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze, especially if treats are involved. I may take a second to figure out what you’re asking, but I always try my best to get it right. Physical touch is my love language—I’m a total Velcro dog who needs to be close to my people at all times. I adore snuggles, belly rubs, and go absolutely crazy for butt scratches. I’m playful, goofy, and love curling up next to you (or on you, if you’ll let me). In my foster home, I live with another dog and we get along great. We enjoyed running and playing together at the dog park. I’m fully potty trained and sleep soundly through the night in my crate without any accidents. I’m also good on a leash and enjoy going for walks. I’ve seen children at adoption events and have done well with them, but I don’t currently live with any. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and cuddly companion who will follow you everywhere and always be ready for snuggles, I might just be the perfect pup for you. I’m a great size and will easily fit in your home, on your lap, or right in the middle of a puppy pile. Could I be the Oreo your life is missing? Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). . It includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at our participating vets, age appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative,1st vet visit at one of our participating vets, and micro-chipping. We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family to approve an adoption. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed.

Story
Hi, I’m Margot! I am a true survivor—I made a life-saving journey from a Texas kill shelter all the way to Illinois, and despite facing heartworm, I’ve bounced back stronger than ever! Now, I’m on the hunt for my forever family, and trust me, you’ll want to be part of my next chapter. Why You’ll Love Me: I’m the ultimate mix of playful, mellow, laidback, and affectionate. Whether it’s morning zoomies in the yard or snuggling up on the couch, I bring love and joy into every moment. The second you walk through the door, I’ll be there to greet you like you’re the most important person in the world—because to me, you are! My Favorite Things: *Chew toys (a must-have for my entertainment!) *Food/snacks (yours and mine—I’m not picky!) *Close cuddles/snuggles (the closer, the better!) *Head & ear scratches (I’ll melt into your hand and snooze) *Zoomies in the backyard (A house with a fenced in backyard would be a huge plus for me!) *Cozy couch naps (I’m an expert at this one) *Being around my people (your attention is my favorite thing) My Social Side: *People & kids: I currently live with three adults and two small children, and I love them all, including the little ones. I just ask for them to be gentle and respect my personal space. *Dogs/Cats: I’ve lived with two big dogs (male and female) and did great! I wouldn’t mind a sibling, but I do best with slow introductions. I have not been in contact with any cats but may do better without. My House Manners: *Potty trained (as long as I get regular potty breaks!) *Crate training (not my favorite, but a nudge & treats help!) *Leash skills (I walk well and don’t tend to pull—though my favorite part of the walk is coming home!) *Barking habits (I’ll sound the alarm if I see someone outside, but otherwise, I’m a quiet girl.) *Commands: I’m working on “sit,” “drop it,” and “off” and picking things up quickly (especially when treats are involved!) If you’re looking for a best friend who will brighten your days, make you smile with her playful spirit, and melt into your arms for the sweetest snuggles, then I might be the perfect match for you. I’ll be your most loyal companion, your happiest welcome home, and your coziest cuddle buddy. I can’t wait to meet you and fill your life with love!

Hi there! My name is Breanna, and I`m looking for my forever home! I`m a snuggly girl who loves following you around like your very own shadow. Whether you`re in the kitchen, the living room, or even just sitting on the couch, I`m right there beside you, ready to keep you company.I absolutely *love* my Kong-it`s my favorite thing to play with! I also enjoy running around the yard and sniffing all the interesting smells, and I`m always up for a walk. Just a heads-up though, I`m pretty strong on the leash, so I`ll need someone who can keep up with my excitement!I know how to sit and lay down, especially if there`s a treat involved (who doesn`t love a good snack, right?). I`m still learning not to jump on people when I`m excited to see them, but hey, that`s just me showing you how much I care! I can`t help it-I just want to give you kisses and wag my tail all day long.I`d really love a home with another dog so we could play together, but at the very least, I`d be thrilled with an active human companion who will play and take me on adventures. Oh, and I am also cat friendly!If you`re looking for a sweet, playful companion who`s ready to share lots of love and fun, I might just be the girl for you. I can`t wait to meet you!Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:1) Be at least 21 years of age2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household3) Have approval from the residence owner4) Have valid ID with current address5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards.***

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Gayle, a 3-year-old female American Bulldog mix with a stunning apricot and white bicolor coat. Gayle is a high-energy pup who loves spending time with people. She's incredibly friendly and cuddly, always eager to share affection. While Gayle enjoys the company of people, she can be selective with other dogs and might need a patient and experienced owner who can help her navigate her interactions. She's a bit anxious and defensive around other dogs, but with slow exposure and gentle guidance, she has the potential to adjust and become more comfortable over time. We suggest a single dog home for Gayle. If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a loving and energetic companion, Gayle could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little time and patience, she's sure to become a loyal and devoted friend. Come meet Gayle and see if you can be the one to provide her with a forever home filled with love and understanding. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Minnie is an absolutely stunning tan and white Boxer mix with the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen! This sweet girl is still building her confidence here at the shelter and can be a bit nervous of new friends at first, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she is a total sweetheart! Minnie would thrive in a calm, loving home that sticks to a routine and gives her the time and patience she needs to settle in. She’ll need some support, but she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn with the right guidance. She’d do best in a home with children ages 12 and up who understand her gentle spirit. Minnie is so ready for her next chapter—could it be with you? Give her the chance to flourish and she’ll reward you with so much love. Stop in and meet Minnie 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. 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.
