Story
Say hello to Gus! A stunning, handsome, regal and friendly male Great Dane. He weighs in at 155 lbs and was born 12/17/22. So he’s just a little over 2 years old. He is mostly black in color mixed in with white and black speckles. Gus is on the timid side and would love nothing more than to have all the humans to love on and to love on him. He has not met anyone he doesn’t adore and will follow them around all day long. He’s happy laying at your feet or on the couch next to you, with his head in your lap. Or on the kitchen floor so you don’t get lonely while you’re cooking or cleaning. He really is the best dog buddy ever. He will bark to let you know of anyone walking by the house but is not an overly excessive barker. Gus travels well in an SUV, is housebroken and crate trained. He loves, loves, loves people of all ages. But due to his size and exuberance, we will not adopt him to a home with children under the age of 10. Currently Gus has 2 Great Dane friends in his foster home. Initially he was nervous around them and was demonstrating some unwanted behavior towards them. It appeared he had previously had less than positive interactions with other dogs and he was being defensive. He’s settling in nicely and under close supervision (which is always recommended with a new dog) they are all getting along well. Gus just needs slow intro’s and time to adjust. But he would do wonderfully as an only dog and would make the best companion to any human! He loves going on walks and walks so nicely on a leash. Squirrels will trigger him (but he says what dog likes those critters anyway), but other dogs or people on walks don’t bother him. Gus sleeps great all night long on the floor next to his human’s bed. He has great house manners and is not destructive. He does get a little nervous when you leave but if in a crate, he lays down and naps while you’re away. Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Gus is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet him will be set up for approved adopters only. His adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. He is neutered, microchipped and Heartworm negative. He has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Meet Geeno (AKA Grandpa Gee)— Geeno is an extra large and extra special, senior Great Dane who is looking for a special home. He found himself at animal control after rummaging through neighborhood trash cans, eating anything and everything just to survive. He was a sad and emaciated 113 pounds when he came in (when we believe he should be closer to 150-160 pounds when fully healthy). He is also missing an eye which is believed to be caused by an old injury; but it is now healed and does not cause him any pain. He does have a large amount of skin tags but the bothersome one`s have been surgically removed. He was also recently neutered and had a dental done.Geeno is currently fostered with two other dogs and while he gets along well with his foster brothers (after slow introductions), what he would love more than anything is to be your one and only. You’ve got attention to give, and well, Geeno wants ALL of it. He’s a true velcro dog who is loving, loyal, and committed to never leaving his person`s side. A fenced in yard is a requirement for this handsome guy, because although he’s a senior, he’s certainly got some spunk to him and loves having the room to run and stretch out those long legs of his! While he does currently have spunk to him, we are also looking for a home with no stairs as his back legs are slowly beginning to weaken and we want to keep him as comfortable as possible. He will remain on gabapentin for life (at the adopters expense). Geeno is potty trained, crate trained, and rides nicely in the car. He is just an overall LOVER boy who will gladly make himself comfortable in your lap, bed, and home. If you feel you could provide Geeno the forever home he deserves, please fill out an application today. Adoption fee is $140 Email: kristym@almosthomefoundation.net Almost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements: 1) Be at least 21 years of age 2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household 3) Have approval from the residence owner4) Have valid ID with current address 5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home 6) 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
A few years ago, this sweet girl was found dumped along the fence of our rescue! She was skin and bones and needed immediate help, so we named her MayDay. Our best guess is she around 6 or 7 years old and a Great Dane/ Staffshire terrier mix. She is very gentle, loves people, and really enjoys car rides. Mayday gets along with males, but is not very playful with other dogs. She would do best as the only fur baby in the home. Since she has been a kennel dog her whole life, MayDay is not pot trained so she will need a family who understands that. This dear girl would love a chance to live out her days in the comfort of a home with a family who will love her! If you want to give MayDay that chance, find us at https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to fill out an application or on facebook (tails of the forgotten paws)

Story
Meet Beefcake, a goofy and HUGE 1-year-old male Great Dane who's looking for his best human buddy. Beefcake is a big guy with a big heart. This giant is affectionate at home and adoringly leans on his humans, but he's still learning to navigate his size. Beefcake is deaf, which means he relies on visual cues for communication. He's nervous meeting new people on leash, but is friendly once he gets to know them. Beefcake has some territorial tendencies and is currently working with our professional dog trainers to address these behaviors. He needs someone who’s willing to be consistent with training, work with the tools he requires and be patient as he learns and progresses. He enjoys being around other dogs, but cats are not his thing. Beefcake must go to a home with someone who has experience with very large dogs and is willing to continue his training journey. His ideal home is with a single adult or adult couple — no children, please, due to his size and training needs. If you're ready to give Beefcake the guidance and attention he needs, he'll be a loyal companion in return. This beefy boy needs an experienced owner and a lot of love, structure and patience—could it be you? Ready to meet Beefcake? Come see how this big bundle of joy can fit into your home. To ask about Beefcake, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Meet Keith: Your Dance Party Friend! Keith is a sweet and observant boy who loves to dance (or prance) about. He is a bit of a chameleon, happy to be social with his human, or sleeping on the couch on a Friday night. Keith is a nature guy down for a long walk, hike, or even just to sit outside on a nice day. Keith enjoys making canine friends too and playing about with them. He doesn't really enjoy sharing his toys, but much prefers to wrestle anyways! Keith is ready for a home that he can just lounge about in and a family to give him all of the loving. He is still learning but has some skills already up his sleeve. Keith's Favorite Things: Chews: Any chews I'm given, but please keep paws to yourself Outside Time: Lounging in the sun, or exploring are my thing Snacks: I am a bit of a foodie Cues that Keith Knows: Sit Touch Take it Greeting manners Let's Go! Recall with my name Keith is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start!

Story
Hi, I'm Fuji! 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 bloomingdale@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 90. The friendly folks here will be happy to answer all your questions! Can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together! 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.
