Story
Hi, I’m Trident! My fosters say I’m the quietest Chihuahua they’ve ever had! I’m endless entertainment, let me tell you about some of the stuff I love- TOYS and FOOD! Yes, especially squeaky toys, but I love to take them all out of the basket and put them by the front door. I will play for hours throwing them around and chasing them for myself. I also love food, and luckily, WALKS, too! I’ve been working on my waistline with daily walks so hopefully you can help me keep that up. We just step off into the grass for some space and go at our own pace as bikes, strollers, balls and dogs all go racing past me. I use the bed stairs and snuggle at my fosters feet all night long, the only time bark usually is if someone new comes in the room while I’m sleeping. I like my teens and their friends and all the dogs that have been in my foster home. My foster has always done slow intro with them and I feel more secure that way. Ive played with puppies as little as 5-10 pounds and am gentle with the old gal and give her kisses, she won’t play and I accept that. If you have been looking for a big love bug that doesn’t know his size, is still learning about the world, loves his home and his people deeply, check me out! My fosters adore me, you can ask them! PS I give the sweetest kisses. 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. 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.

Sonja was adopted 4 years ago in December from heartland animal shelter. My vet thought at time she was three years old so I’m guessing now she’s 6 or 7. Someone to love and care for her. She is trained to use the Peepee pads. She loves to sit on your lap under a blanket, loves kisses enjoys a fenced in yard. She sleeps in my bedroom in her bed. She’s tiny snuggly independent low maintenance. She eats a quarter cup of dry food twice a day and loves her treats!

Story
Max and Punzel (Maximus and Rapunzel) are brother (brown) and sister (black and white). We have had them since they were little and had them for one of our kids who has since left our home. They are very well trained. When they go out, they will quietly sit at your feet looking up at your face, and when they see you, they start running to the back door, stopping now and then to make sure they are still following. They are very cuddly and are very low maintenance dogs. Because they are little, they don't need long walks but can run around in the house. They enjoy wrestling with each other and chasing each other which is a lot of fun to just watch.

Story
Meet Sloth Bear — a 6-year-old scruffy terrier mix with a heart full of love and 12.7 pounds of pure charm. Sloth Bear is the perfect blend of sweet, and sensitive. Beneath his shaggy coat and expressive eyes is a loyal companion who bonds deeply with his people. He’s looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can be the center of someone’s world — your one and only pet. Recently, Sloth Bear was diagnosed with degenerative mitral valve disease, confirmed with a cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram). While this condition will need ongoing monitoring, it doesn’t stop him from enjoying the little joys in life: cozy blankets, slow walks, and curling up next to his favorite human. If you’re searching for a gentle, devoted companion who will adore you endlessly, Sloth Bear may be the perfect match. He’s ready to meet the person who will love him just the way he is. Stop in and meet my cute self 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. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older).
