Story
Meet Smush, the big-hearted bulldog mix with a personality as hefty as his size! This gentle giant is known for his larger-than-life presence and charming quirks. Smush's enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of him, and he can be a bit mouthy when he's overexcited, but it's all part of his endearing nature. He's not one for long walks; instead, he prefers the comfort of being by his owner's side or bustling around the house, playing with his beloved squishy toys. While Smush adores his human companions, he isn't the biggest fan of other animals. He thrives best as the only pet in the household, where he can soak up all the attention and affection. Currently, Smush is on a diet to shed a few pounds and improve his health. He would thrive in a home that can support his weight loss journey with regular activity and a balanced diet. With his lovable personality and steadfast loyalty, Smush is sure to bring warmth and joy to any home. Whether he's snuggled up on the couch or happily playing indoors, Smush's big heart and gentle spirit make him a cherished member of the family. Smush is an All-Star dog! My 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 her off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Smush, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! When I arrived at Anderson Humane from Aurora Animal Control, I tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm positive dogs like me to be while going through treatments and recovering is with a loving and forever family like yours. If you choose to adopt me, the clinic staff will be with you every step of the way, answering questions and offering support. The process from detection to the final treatment is generally three months and involves some simple at-home steps to keep me safe while I recover. The last step in the process is a follow-up test six months after my treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful and the staff anticipates that I will fully recover! Yeah! And you should know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. 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. 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. I hope to meet you soon!

Story
Meet Prince Nelson! He is approximately 1 yr old and is a total sweetheart.  His first year of life was spent crated nearly 24/7 without much time for play and freedom, but foster care has shown him that this is no longer his life and now he is ready to find his forever home!  While in foster care, Prince has been doing great at potty training, has learned basic commands quickly, goes into his crate at night with no problem and sleeps through the night.  He also walks great on a leash and loves his walks.  His foster parents take him for walks twice a day which helps him burn his excess energy.  Prince also loves puzzle/treat toys and filled bones.  He loves to run in the yard with his foster sister(he can't keep up but he sure loves to try!).  Another dog or a yard is not a must if you are willing to take him for walks regularly as he continues his potty training.   He also likes to lounge outside in the fresh air when weather permits.  Prince is very good with other dogs and is also good with cats. Prince loves kids, but we recommend older kids as Prince does not know his size and can easily knock younger/unsteady children over.  He is still learning not to jump up on people.  Prince is a little shy and anxious around new things and he will back away to allow his foster sister to make sure all is safe for him.  His foster family is working on helping him build his self confidence.  Lots of positive encouragement!  He loves to make you happy!  Prince Nelson's adoption fee is $300.  He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative, microchipped, healthy and full of love and kisses!  Please complete an application for adoption at FurAngelsAS.orgOctober 4, 2024, 4:00 pm

Nelsa is a sweet girl who is 2 years old and loves attention, love and walks. She is very strong and interacts well with my 6 children. She doesn’t jump on them or get hyper. Our family has a new baby and it is very hard for us to attend to Nelsa’s needs. We have an older dog Emma who is a bichon mix. Nelsa and Emma do play together and chase each other. I am seeking a loving family to adopt her and give her the love and attention she needs.

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
