I AM IN FOSTER CARE! PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION. ONCE APPROVED, PLEASE EMAIL US (INFO@ANIMALHOUSESHELTER.COM) OR GIVE US A CALL AND WE CAN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU TO MEET ME! Born: December 26, 2021 I am 51lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $400 Meet Ralphie, a lovable Australian Shepherd searching for his forever home! Ralphie is house-trained and has the sweetest personality—he absolutely adores people and is a true snuggle bug. Currently in a foster home with kids, Ralphie does great with them. He also gets along well with other dogs and cats in his foster home. Ralphie is very smart—he knows the commands "sit" and "shake." Not very vocal, he only barks occasionally. He has Addison’s disease, which requires lifelong medication, but this doesn’t slow him down—he takes his meds like a champ! He would do best in a home with a family that is more often. Ralphie gets a little stressed when no one is home. Ralphie is looking for a loving home that will care for him as much as he will love you. Could you be the one to give him the forever family he deserves?

Story
Hi, I'm Austin! 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 info@ahconnects.org or give us a call at 847-697-2880 x: 0. 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.

These pups are in Lake in the Hills, Illinois too!

Story
Chance, a stray found in Louisiana, is a big, lovable boy! A smooth-coated mix, he has one blue eye and one brown eye. Chance enjoys playing with other dogs and lives with two Italian greyhounds at his foster home. He's good in the car and loves people! Chance is a big sweetie. If you’re looking for an all around friend that will make you smile and laugh, Chance is your guy. He LOVES car rides, walks, toys, tug, and fetch. For a BC he is moderate to low energy. After a half hour play he is the sweetest cuddle buddy one could ask for. He plays well with other dogs and would do well with a K-9 companion and in a home where he can get his daily walks in. He knows basic commands and is learning more. He does well with cats and is initially a bit shy around new folks but quick to warm up. His playful nature will make anyone smile and lighten up anyone’s day. He is the perfect balance of fun and cuddles and will be his new families very best friend. Why not take a chance with Chance?! He has sit, down, shake, learned. We will work on leave it next. He’s smart. Took him to the high school tennis courts today I stead of our hike and played ball. He had a blast!

Story
Laika is 36 lbs and 3-4 years old. This sweet girl loves chasing and often retrieving balls in the house and outdoors. She loves to sniff around off-leash in a fenced back yard. Turn on your garden sprinkler and she will be entertained and exercised. Laika initiates belly runs and gives kisses to her foster mom as a thank you. Laika is more dominant than Layla and has a strong herding drive, so we recommend a home with no children, cats or small critters. She's a little nervous meeting new people and dogs, which we are working on. Laika is spayed and fully vaccinated. She will need a fenced yard and an experienced handler with a strong understanding of the breed and a willingness to provide lots of exercise and tennis balls.

Story
Falcon has come a long way since we first met her. She is really starting to show her personality! She takes everything in stride but definitely is cautious about new things. She has to trust first and know that her people will take it slow, she looks for guidance/reassurance. Her rehab is coming along wonderfully. She is using her back leg more and more (instead of bunny hopping). Learning the stairs was a piece of cake and we go very slow so she uses the back leg. Her fur has almost fully grown back in where she had the surgery. She enjoys massages on the back leg after we do a good workout. Falcon loves to go for walks and does excellent on leash. She enjoys sniffing around and exploring. She is very observant of her surroundings and will let you know what she may see that you cannot. For example when walking at night, she will often see other walkers or animals in the dark and alert us before we even see them. She has met kids 8 and older and has done fine with them, especially taking treats. She is very gentle when taking treats. Some favorites of hers are walking, petting, a good stuffed Kong, chews, cheese and a good nap. She loves her orthopedic bed but will also choose her crate to nap in as well. Falcon enjoys having other dogs around. A confident, sweet, bottom of the pack dog (like Easton) is what she prefers. She would not do well with one that would challenge her. She likes to mouth, wrestle (restricted right now to short interactions) and play tug. The best way to describe her is an "old soul". While she is only in her 3's (best guess) it was a hard start and she seemed to have aged a bit. She is still learning how to be a dog but each day we see a little more about who she is! She is a hard one to capture photos of as she is very serious when "thinking" but once she lets her guard down, that's when we see her smile and relax. Falcon is currently being fostered with Easton.....check out his story as well! Falcon is a beautiful red/white Border Collie who is part of the Lucky 13 rescued from a hoarding situation. From what we know, a pack of dogs was running loose on the property and at times they would beat each other up pretty severely. When she was rescued, her back right leg was "locked up" and she didn't use much of it. We had a FHO surgery done on her to give her comfort and the mobility she needs. Each day she is putting more and more weight on her back leg. Falcon is a very very sweet girl.....once she gains your trust. She is wary at first and doesn't necessarily like fast movement as she will scurry away. Once she does trust, she likes the attention, especially ear rubs and body rubs. She can easily fall asleep with the attention. Falcon walks well on leash and enjoys her time outside while we are out there. I would say that she is pretty much house broken (not one accident since she has been here!) We are not sure how she is with other dogs. She is being fostered with Easton and they share the same room but are separated by gates and also can go nose-to-nose at times. She is fine with him. We have not yet introduced her to others while she is recovering from the surgery. We suspect with the right match, she would enjoy a dog pal or could live alone and enjoy her person all to herself. She is looking for a person or family who understands the needs of a dog who has had a rough start and can focus on how to give her the space she needs to grow but gently teach her how to be a dog. She has not been cat tested. Not suitable for a condo or apartment setting. ​ More to come as time progresses. Please see Falcon and his friends at our web page. https://www.midwestbordercollierescue.org/alldogs ​Location: Northern Illinois Contact: team@midwestbordercollierescue.org
