-Pete is part of our Home for the Holidays adoption promotion, so his adoption fee is 50% off!-Hellooo everyone, it’s me, Pete, the active dog with one of the longest tongues around here. After all, when you enjoy running, chasing the ball even though I don’t always return it – after all I also let people enjoy the fetching part, haha! Oh and butt scratches feel so good, they get me all wiggly. I’m ready to share all the excitement that life has to offer with an active and fun loving family.

Story
Vinny is a young cattle dog with energy to burn and love to give! This affectionate adventurer is always ready to hit the trail, whether it’s a long walk through the neighborhood, a hike in the woods, or maybe even an agility class to show off his athletic side. Vinny needs to be in an active household with another young playful dog. When it's time to rest, he enjoys a soft lap.He’s a social butterfly who gets along beautifully with other dogs and has been a total sweetheart with kids of all ages. Vinny’s also cat-friendly, making him a great fit for multi-pet households. Just one thing to note—he’s got opinions, and he’s not afraid to share them! Vinny is vocal, so his future family should be comfortable with a dog who likes to chat.Because of his active nature and expressive personality, Vinny would thrive in a home with space to roam and play—not so much in an apartment. He’s looking for a family that loves the outdoors, appreciates a loyal companion, has another young dog to play with and doesn’t mind a little joyful barking along the way._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Vinny is $ 575.00WANT TO MEET VinnyThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Vinny and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Meet Toast! She is great with other dogs and even participates in a doggie day care program. She was teased by children in her prior home so a home without kids would be best for our little Toasty.

Story
Mando was rescued from Wright Way in Chicago, IL a little over 2.5 years ago. He was listed as an Australian Cattle Dog, but likely a mix. Mando is our second rescue. We love Mando, but as he’s grown, he’s becoming extremely territorial, anxious, and aggressive with our older dog. We also have a small daughter, and we can’t risk an injury jf she gets caught in between them. We enlisted professional training services, installed an invisible fence to increase exercise, but the issue persists. After careful contemplation, we’ve decided to place Mando up for adoption so that he can be more comfortable in a different environment, preferably one without another dog or cat and low levels of loud noises (sirens/motor cycles). We believe an environment that promotes activity and low levels of noise will suit him best, but he’s lived in downtown Chicago and the suburbs already. Overall, Mando is loving, smart, cuddly, active, and loyal. We hope we can find him a perfect home soon.
