Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*Toi is a a forever foster due to health issues*. As a special needs pup we appreciate sponsorships and donation to his care.   *All applicants must have a vet reference and a fenced yard to be considered.* Due to no fault of his own, Toi is in a new foster home. Unfortunately for all concerned, he lost his foster daddy and his foster home due to a house fire. He has managed to worm his way into the hearts of his foster parents. He gets along with all of his foster siblings due to a very slow meet and greet. He is doing extremely well and we are so proud of him. Toi is UTD on all vaccinations at this time. He has a voracious appetite and will not miss being in the kitchen under foot while we are cooking. Toi would love to have a home of his very own where he will get all the attention he deserves. He needs a stable environment with no children in the home. Children tend to move fast and that movement scares Toi. Hello lucky lottery winner!!!  No— not really a lottery, but you will feel like you have hit the jackpot if I choose you to be my forever home.  So let’s talk about me and see if we could be a family.     My name is Toi.  I am a Min Pin/Chihuahua mix who is 12  years old.  Don’t let that age thing bother you,, I am a medium energy dog who loves walks, zoomies in the backyard with my foster sister and brother and car rides.  My favorite word is Treats!!!   I am a little bit choosey about who I do and don’t like. Foster mom says I need some more “socialization:”- whatever that means.  Hey— do you instantly like everyone you meet?  I bet you don’t.  I choose to think of myself as discerning about who I let into my inner circle!!  But just think how special you will feel when I decide that you are deserving of my trust, snuggles and love.  I didn’t get to meet a lot of people when I was growing up and it takes me a while to let my guard down with new humans. I do best when I am on a leash when new two-leggers come into the house. I can be growly, but if they leave me alone, I leave them alone. I listen to Mom when she tells me “Toi, settle down, don’t be growly, you’re fine”.     My foster home has two other dogs in it, so I have a foster brother and sister who are my best friends.  We love to run around the backyard together, wait for our treats, mealtime and jump into the big bed every morning..  My favorite place to sleep at night is on a chair covered in my blankets in the big bedroom. I need lots of blankets so I can burrow down inside of them!!     Children aren’t really my thing, so foster mom says we are looking for a home with adults only.  And my new family needs to be very experienced with dogs who need a little extra attention, time and patience. Do you know the saying, “good things come to those who wait” or  “patience is a virtue”?  Or how about— just love me for who I am, just like I will love you for who you are and together we will grow and become the best we can be.   Am I a lap dog?  No. Am I going to instantly trust you? No. Am I worth the work you will put into building a relationship with me?  You bet!! And on top of that— I am very handsome.  So maybe it’s okay that I play a little “hard to get”!   This is what I need from my new family:   A big fenced in backyard so I can run and run and run.  At least one other dog to be my bestie and to show me how to be a dog. Someone who can understand that while I love to lay right next to my human, I am not one of those silly lap dogs who wants to be held like a baby.   Maybe some day, but not right now.  Someone who loves me unconditionally and will take the time to earn my love and trust.   I do not really like men and so I need a Mom in my new home. I have gotten used to my foster Dad- but really need to have my main forever parent be a woman.   Adults who are experienced with dogs who have fear and socialization issues.   And don’t forget about toys— I need lots of toys!! Toys to carry around, toys to throw up in the air, toys to chase— you can never have too many toys!!  But mostly time, love and patience.    So let’s get those applications rolling in and I can pick out my new home!!!  I’m posting some new pics that foster mom took of me and I know they make me look irresistible!!!       Toi's adoption donation is $250.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2024, 12:17 am

Story
Hi, I'm Izzy and I am so glad you are taking a look at me. Fully grown at just 20lbs, I am the perfect size to snuggle up on your lap and take a nap, which is one of my very favorite things to do. My foster parent reports I do excellent in a home and am already housetrained! Aside from that, I'm also told I'm very sweet and cuddly. Because I've been through so much change and inconsistency in the 5 years I've lived, I take a quick second to ensure I can trust you before I'm fully comfortable. However, after a couple of minutes (or maybe even just one if you have a treat), I will hop up on your lap and accompany you wherever you'd like to go (I love car rides)! My adoption comes with some extra benefits at the time of adoption! --- Izzy is an All-Star dog! Her adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and she will go home with his 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 Izzy, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you!

Story
Buster is a 2-year-old male Miniature Pinscher mix with a heart full of love to give. Initially, Buster may be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but after a few days of living in our foster team's office, he quickly became best friends with everyone! Buster has some handling sensitivities around his neck and body, but with patience, cooperative care, and gentle body conditioning, he is slowly adjusting and gaining confidence. Once he feels safe, Buster loves nothing more than sitting on the laps of his favorite people, enjoying some quiet bonding time. Buster is also quite the talker and loves to talk, making him a lively companion. At night, he sleeps soundly in his crate, providing both him and his humans with some peaceful rest. Buster would thrive best in a home without small children, as their noise and energy might be overwhelming for him. He's looking for a patient, loving family that will give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and secure. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Buster might just be the perfect match for you! Stop in and meet Buster 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. 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.

We do NOT adopt out of state. Gardenia is about as perfect as a pup as you can get. She is 1.5-2yr so she is already house trained. Toys are Gars favorite way to busy herself until you can play with her. She loves to play fetch. She goes in her crate but she would rather be snuggled up to you in bed or on the couch. She is great on a leash. At 20 lbs is is a great take anywhere pup. She is great with other pups. Gardenia is very affectionate and playful. She listens very well. Gardenia has a delightful personality and will make some family very lucky to have her as a family member. She is HW+ and will be receiving treatment soon.
