Story
I’m T-Bear. One Eye, Big Heart, Still Just a Baby Fluffball! I’m a puppy. I’m an Australian Shepherd puppy, which means I’m going to grow into a bigger, smart, active kind of dog. I was found alone in a field. Somewhere along the way, I lost one of my eyes and had surgery to remove it. That part is behind me now. What’s in front of me is everything else. I’m sweet. Really sweet. I love to be held. I’ll curl right into you like that’s where I’ve always belonged. I’m a cuddle bug through and through, even with everything I’ve been through. I’m still all puppy. I play, I chew, I explore, I fall asleep fast. I’m learning the basics from the ground up. Potty training, routines, how to listen, how to be in a home. My eye doesn’t slow me down. I move, I adjust, I figure things out. I just do life a little differently, and I’m doing just fine. With my breed, I’m going to be smart. I’ll need engagement, training, and someone who understands I won’t just be a sit-around dog. I’ll grow into that energy and need direction. Right now, I just need a place to land. Someone patientSomeone kindSomeone who sees a little puppy who’s already been through a lot and still chooses to love I’m ready to grow into my life. I just need someone to grow with me. ##2714725##

Story
Meet Patsy!  This sweet girl is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, born mid-June 2026, and currently weighing in at a petite 4 lbs. Patsy is small but mighty — sweet, smart, and well-behaved. She does well with children but will thrive best in a calmer, quieter home where she can feel settled and secure. The details: Breed: Australian Shepherd/Lab mix Approximate DOB: Mid-June 2026 Current weight: ~4 lbs Temperament: Sweet, smart, well-behaved Good with kids: Yes Best fit: A calmer, quieter household A few more things about Patsy: She's crate trained and currently sleeps in a dog playpen. She's very smart and well-behaved, and she loves other small dogs — though she's still a bit timid around larger dogs, so a thoughtful introduction process will help her feel comfortable. If you're looking for a smart, sweet little girl who'll settle in beautifully to a peaceful home, Patsy could be exactly what you're looking for!    If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED!

Rolo is an adorable Aussie mix boy born June 9, 2026, and he’s one happy little pup! He’s playful, cuddly, and absolutely loves a good belly rub. If you’re looking for a puppy who will happily snuggle up with you after playtime, Rolo may be your guy!   Rolo is dog-friendly and busy learning all the important things about being a puppy. He’s looking for a patient, loving family who will continue to help him with training, socialization, and all the adventures that come with puppyhood.   A securely fenced yard is a must for this playful little guy so he has a safe place to run, explore, and burn off some puppy energy.   Rolo is ready to find his forever family—and he has plenty of cuddles and belly rubs to give!

Story
Hi, I'm Moonstone! Thanks for checking me out! I know my cute face is hard to resist, but here's the scoop: I'll need a lot of your time and attention as I grow up into the amazing adult dog I'm destined to be! I'm looking for a forever family that will help me with socialization, training (yes, that includes house training!), and plenty of exercise. And let's not forget the chewing and teething-I'm still learning what's okay (and what's definitely not okay) to put in my mouth. So, be ready for some puppy-proofing! Don't forget those vet visits! I'll need to stay up to date on my boosters and vaccines, which means a few trips to see my favorite vet in the first few months. But trust me, all that effort will be worth it when you experience the endless love, puppy kisses, and pure joy I'll bring into your life. So, if you're up for the challenge and the fun, why not come meet me in person? Stop by during our adoption hours. For more details, email info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

Story
Hello! My name is Vixen and I am a border collie/German shepherd mix. I am 3 or 4 months old. I am very shy and scared right now. People make me nervous. Where I came from was very scary. I was so hungry that when they gave me food I ate and fell asleep in my bowl! I like when my foster mom calls me sweet girl and I am slowly letting her pet me. I am just starting to explore and I like to climb up on things in the backyard. I know I look like I'm frowning, I think its just the color of my coat! I love playing with a ball; its my favorite toy so far! If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $300. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming
