Daisy has decided us humans at the orphanage are a-ok. A former Chicago street cat being fed by a kind-hearted woman, this was Daisy’s first experience living inside a house.

The first week she hid and by monitoring her food and litter habits we knew she was ok but none-the-less I worried not seeing her.

But one day she just decided we were worth knowing and came out of hiding and hasn’t looked back. We brought her to the offices upstairs but she has, at this time, chosen the art room as her place. Who can blame her? There are great vibes in here!

We are accepting applications for Daisy. Go to www.aear.org to apply.

Cisco a four-year-old poodle and is such a cutie! He has come so far but still has so much potential! Cisco needs an understanding family that will help him get over his fears. He’s fine with dogs and cats. He’d be best in an adult only home. We would consider moving him to an appropriate, local foster home too.

To learn more or apply go to www.aear.org. Please share. We are located in Lake County, Illinois.

“Hey Sandy! Was just thinking of sending you an update, then saw your happy tails post.

Jazz is doing great! Spoiled as ever! She absolutely LOVES the snow and 19° weather 😂 we'll be moving to GA soon, so I don't think she'll be thrilled about that heat, but she'll love the large yard! She's been so amazing with the kids and still loves any possible adventure.

We also learned shes into chasing wold game and willing to learn how to swim with the ducks!

Her continuos training has been going well and we'll touch base again once we get settled!”

Yoshi is a sweet one-year-old cocker spaniel looking for a home. We are still getting to know him. He just arrived two days ago.

At the moment he’s staying in Nikki’s office where he’s getting a lot of love and attention but we’d love to see him move to a new foster home or of course get him adopted would even be better.

He’s been introduced to some dogs and he gets a bit protective of food and of whomever human is caretaking him. So at the moment he’s be best in a home without another dog or possibly a calm, laid back and submissive dog would be ok. He’s been fine with cats.

Yoshi is super sweet and wants to please. To apply
to foster Yoshi or adopt him go to www.aear.org.

Happy tails from Ellie (formerly Shuri)!

“She is the peace keeper in the house when new animals come in. She loves to sit on the counter next to the sink to watch when I’m doing dishes. She is 7 months today!”

Daisy, the former Chicago stray, has moved into Chucks office and decided Chuck is her new best friend. She’s still getting used to Noodle’s. Luckily Noodles is non reactive to her hissing and super chill. All is good for Miss Daisy!
