Story
The number one thing I will tell you about this dog is he is extremely intelligent. He has integrated with the other dogs well. He definitely is self-assured with them and understands how to communicate with other dogs.There is no doubt in my mind that this dog is extremely loyal. Whoever gets to adopt him will have a dog that will love them to the end of the Earth. He also clearly thrives on getting instructions and having a job. So whoever adopts him will want to ensure that he is receiving training and direction on a consistent basis.We believe he is a purebred red healer. I would encourage you to read about the breed. They are fascinating dogs and make fabulous family members for the right homes. Colt would do very well in a home with a lot of room to run and active family that is also dog savvy. A family that appreciates a working breed dog would be essential. Being his breed, we would recommend he not be adopted into a home with small children. But the most important is a dog savvy family.Did I mention that he is stunningly, handsome? While that is the least important, it certainly is nice. He’s extremely photogenic and is a great size, weighing in at around 50 pounds. He walks well on leash and likes car rides._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Colt is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET ColtThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Colt and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Lives can change, new people, a new routine and I became very overwhelmed. The staff here has been amazing, helping me get adjusted at my own pace. Sweet baby talk and treats help me get more comfortable with new people around here. I especially love the special treats with peanut butter. I go for little walks, spend time in a play yard and even started doing some fun little zoomies. I am starting to relax a little and can’t wait for someone special that would be patient at first with me. Oh, I lived with a cat and a dog.

Meet Toast! She is great with other dogs and even participates in a doggie day care program. She was teased by children in her prior home so a home without kids would be best for our little Toasty. She's a great little play buddy and will make a loving companion for someone. Toast is bonded with our standard poodle, Zeppelin and we would love to keep them together. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Toast and Zeppelin would be a good match for you!

Story
Alpha and Omega are at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet them during open hours! Scroll through each of their pictures to see their cute videos! Alpha and Omega have been here before. Back in 2022, they were young pups (then known as Zach and Cody!) who spent a few weeks at our shelter. Our staff loved them then, just as we do now! These boys were adopted into a nice home together, but sadly their adopter passed away suddenly and recently, and Alpha and Omega were left without a home. They wound up with Northbrook Animal Control, who thankfully traced their microchips back to us, and reached out. As you can see from their videos, the boys have adjusted very well to their new reality. They are a testament to the resilience of dogs! We are sure the transition has been easier because they have each other, just as they always have. Though littermates can have their share of issues when kept together for so long (you may have heard of "Littermate Syndrome"), these two are *such* well-adjusted and happy pups! While some bonded pairs of dogs can have an "us vs the world" mentality, these two are happy to socialize with all of the dogs and vacillate between co-existing and throwing play bows during play group, which is just so adorable to see! And of course, Alpha and Omega each have their own unique personalities! While we were not initially fans of these names (and some of us still call them Zach and Cody!), we can see why their adopter named them as such: Alpha is bigger in size and is the more independent and serious of the two, while Omega has that "I'm just happy to be here" energy and is always wagging, wiggling, joyful and smiling! Alpha doesn't beg for attention but he likes to come right beside you and present his hind quarters for scratching, which is his favorite thing! Omega has the fluffy, wavy coat of an un-sheared sheep and he loves pets and full body scratches! There are SO many great things about these two in particular, and about dogs their age in general! Alpha and Omega have been living in a home the last few years and that shows, by which we mean they are housebroken, not destructive, social, polite, well-mannered, and overall so easy-peasy! They were so good for their baths, nail trims, and vet exams. Best of all, these two walk GREAT on a leash together. Walking both of these boys is way easier than walking one of some our other dogs, ha. We love that they still have some playfulness, too. Not just with the other dogs, but with each other and especially with their stuffies! They love a new stuffy, and get so excited when we toss them a new one. They never rip them up, just carry them around and put them in their beds. We know that getting one larger dog adopted is a challenge these days, let alone two. And while we are not sure that they are totally bonded, meaning neither of them will panic if the other is out of sight, we feel we owe it to them for now to try to keep them together. We hope that someone is out there and willing to take on two amazing pups who are going to ease into their new lives so seamlessly. ***We are open to a foster or a foster to adopt arrangement for these boys! Anything to get them back in a home where they belong! Their adoption fee is $300. They are neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
