Story

Meet Carter: Your New Adventure Buddy! Carter is the perfect companion for anyone seeking an active, fun-loving dog. This social butterfly thrives on making new friends-both human and canine-and is always ready for the next adventure! Whether it's a car ride to a scenic hiking spot, splashing in the river, or a game of fetch in the yard, Carter is up for it all. He's becoming quite the expert at socializing with other dogs, especially those his size or larger who are game for a good chase or wrestling match. While he's still refining his communication skills, he's eager to please and is ready to learn with his forever family. Carter dreams of a home with a spacious backyard where he can run, play, and soak up the day. He's house-trained, knows his basic cues, and is just waiting for someone to open their car door and take him on a new journey. Ready for a hiking buddy who's loyal, fun, and full of love? Carter's your guy! Carter's Favorite Things: Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces. Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment. Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite volunteers. Cues That Carter Knows: Sit Down Let's Go! Greeting Manners Carter is an all-star dog, and his adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start. To learn more about Carter or to schedule an appointment to meet him, please email info@ahconnects.org (including your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to assist 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. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Carter, while he waits for his forever home!

Story

Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at valeriacarrera10@gmail.com. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. King is a BIG baby. He loves all the attention and loves to be around people. He is very needy for love and loves to follow you everywhere. He is very smart and knows all the basic commands and even knows how to search if given a smell. He grew around children and a big family. He is very jumpy and does not realize how big he is. He does well with kids. He does not do well with other dogs. He became reactive when he was attacked by another dog. It has been an issue with my other dog and my living situation. He needs someone who can help him overcome those obstacles. He does well home alone and is house trained. He did not know what the cage was until he became reactive with dogs and couldn't be around my other dog. He does well in the crate as well. The reactivity is not bad, he just does not like when dogs approach his way. He does like little dogs and grew up with another German Shepard and a Yorkie. He still continues to live with them. Overall is a good house dog and cuddle buddy. I just want to find a good home for him.

Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at kassandra.a.weber@gmail.com and/or (916) 549-7831. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Henrietta | 3.5 yrs | F (spayed) | Australian Cattle Dog / German Shepherd Mix UTD on all vaccines & preventatives, ~ 50lbs Henrietta is a very silly and driven lady. She needs a guardian who is ready to provide consistency and frequent training. She is eager to please & very intelligent. She has a strong working drive. Would not recommend a home with small living beings or other dogs. Henrietta knows all basic commands plus some extras, is potty, crate and muzzle trained, and LOVES sticks and belly rubs. Henrietta does have fear-based dog reactivity, but it has been improving immensely with positive reinforcement training. She is at the point of intense staring when we are ~50ft from other dogs, but she is able to break focus. If we are closer, she will rear up & pull intensely. Per the breed, she is likely to get hip dysplasia as she ages, so it is important to keep her on joint supplements & provide ample rest after long outings.

When not applying to be an addition reindeer on Santa Paw’s sleigh, Kiwi is usually found playing with toys, gobbling up all the treats, and constantly looking for attention and love from her humans!

During her time in foster care this girl was a fast favorite among our Illinois volunteer team (must be those stunning eyes!) and always soaked up the attention at our events. She sadly is being returned to our rescue after what she thought was her forever. This girl is just a big puppy and has a lot of energy. She would really love an active family who can keep up with her or a big fenced in yard she can run all those zoomies out in! After play time, she loves to snuggle, lay on comfy furniture ,and gobble up all the treats she can find! This spunky girl is crate and potty trained! Kiwi LOVES dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She is so gentle with kids and has the sweetest personality. She loves to be outside! Ready to open your heart and home to Miss Kiwi?! Fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ or find us on FB!

Story

I received Bell as a gift and it pains me to know I cannot give her the life she deserves. I am currently getting a divorce and need to relocate with my 2 small children. Bell would be good with older children and not toddler, toddlers don't understand personal space and Bell likes her personal space. Shes very smart and stubborn but she has a lot of love to give. She likes any toy you put in front of her and is very vocal. She is wonderful and deserves a good life.

ODYN

Dutch Shepherd American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 8 yrs 3 mos

Elgin, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

**COURTESY POST** Please call Danielle directly if interested. 847-452-7742 This is Odyn. Odyn is looking for a spiffy new home and someone to call his best friend! Odyn came from an out of state high kill shelter and we haven’t been able to find a foster or forever home for him in over a year! He has spent most of the past year in a kennel facility and he deserves better. He is about 45lb, maybe 5 years old. We believe him to be a Dutch Shepherd/Pitty mix. He’s gentle and sweet with a little bit of sass. He loves humans and will do anything for a treat. He loves playing fetch with his ball or squeaker. He is a big snuggler and will melt into your lap if you let him. Odyn is very smart and knows most of his basic commands. He loves his crate and goes into his crate on command, does well in the car and on a leash, is potty trained, and does not have destructive habits. He seems fine with other dogs and cats while on a leash or through a fence as shown in the video, but we haven’t been able to successfully introduce him to other animals when he meets them nose to nose and no fence. We could possibly consider homing him with well balanced dogs the same size or smaller if introductions went well, but prefer him to be the only animal in the home. Odyn needs to be in a home with no children because he lacks a bit of confidence and the unpredictable behavior of children could make him nervous. He has not been behavior-tested with children. He would do best with a gentle, but structured human who can help him feel confident and secure, and one who is willing to continue any necessary training needed to build his confidence, if needed. When you meet Odyn, his gentle eyes and sweet demeanor will snatch your heart right out of you. If you can’t commit to adoption, he is in need of a foster home as well! Located Elgin, IL Please inquire today and come meet this deserving boy! Please contact Danielle to 847-452-7742 to meet Odyn ##1294602##
