Welcome to where we showcase Anderson Alum living their very best lives in their new homes. 🐾 Neptune was adopted by Viktoriia from our South Elgin Location!

"Neptune was a very scared and anxious cat. My resident cat Thomas however is a complete opposite so I hoped he’d help Neptune to acclimate better and he did, now they’re best buddies. He just needed a human who was patient enough to see him reveal his true self and a loving cat friend. Neptune turned to be such a curious and affectionate kitten, and I’m so happy I adopted him."

"Neptune is a total lap cat. At first I was afraid he wouldn’t warm up to me but now he can’t get enough pets. Anytime I pick him up or when he comes up to sit in my lap he immediately starts purring and will not leave on his own, I’m obsessed with him. He’s also the most vocal cat ever and won’t hold back during feeding time, I’m learning to love that too 😄"

Porkchop is looking for a home that can keep up with his lively spirit, and give him lots of treats, too! He's a 3 year, 3 month old American Pit Bull Terrier that could potentially live with another dog who enjoys an active lifestyle.

He wouldn't do well with cats (they're a little too tempting to chase!), but he. If you're ready to add a sizzling slice of joy to your life, Porkchop is ready to be your main course!

To learn more about Porkchop or to schedule an appointment to meet him, please email [email protected] (including your name and phone number), and our team will be happy to assist you.

If you say his name three times... wait, wrong Tim Burton movie! 🎃🤪 Meet Ringo! This 9-year-old distinguished gentleman may be an old dog, but he's ready to learn new tricks! 💡

Despite his senior citizen status, he is FULL of zest and energy! He loves to play with toys, run, and chase squirrels, too! 🐿️ He is fully potty trained, knows sit, down and even paw! He's the perfect dash of Oreo McFlurry cuteness to add to your family.

Just swing by our 📍 South Elgin shelter and say hi!

Please note: As you can see by his body language, Ringo felt comfortable wearing his Wednesday Adams costume, and he got a yummy treat after!

Welcome to where we showcase Anderson Alum living their very best lives in their new homes. 🐾 Gracie was adopted by Dara from our Bloomingdale Petco Location!

"I went into adopting a dog with no expectations. I wasn’t looking for a dog of any specific age, breed, size, etc. As soon as I met Gracie, I knew she was mine. I cannot imagine my life without her in it. She is truly my soul dog and never ceases to put a smile on my face or make me laugh.

In our 2 year together, we’ve made trips to North Carolina to visit my parents and Vermont to visit my brother where Gracie had a blast playing with all of her doggy friends. This year we moved out of a one bedroom apartment and into a house; Gracie now has her very own fenced in backyard. We even had a foster friend in the house for a bit and Gracie was so respectful and patient."

"Gracie is the sweetest, funniest, sassiest little girl. It has been so fun watching her personality come out since she came home with me. She is so curious and brave and is always right by my side whenever I’m doing something; I call her my “little helper”. She comes running to the kitchen when she hears two sounds: the whipped cream can and carrots being peeled (she always gets the peels)."

The dogs in our care are very mindful, very demure. ✨ They would LOVE to spend some time with you in a caring, quiet home. Fostering gives our dogs a much-needed break from the shelter environment, which can be stressful. A foster home helps them decompress, relax, and show off their true personalities! 💕

By fostering, you're not just giving a dog a temporary home, you're giving them the love and support they need! Whether you're experienced with dogs or new to fostering, we’ll help you every step of the way.

Are you aware that the prime period for bird migration occurs between September 6th and October 6th? During this critical period, it's crucial to minimize the use of artificial lighting. Approximately two-thirds of all songbirds migrate during the nighttime, and excessive light pollution can disorient them.

We strongly advocate for the following measures:
💡 Switch off any unnecessary lights, and if that's not feasible, opt for warm white or yellow-colored bulbs
💡Use light shields to direct the light downward, and install motion sensors.
💡If you need to work indoors at night, consider closing the drapes to further reduce light spillage!

We currently have a LOT of puppies in our care, and their tummies are rumbling! Could you send some 💙 Purina Puppy Chow (blue bag) our way?

Meet one of our three newest patients, a baby Cooper's hawk! 🐣 🐥 🐤 Two of these cuties were brought to us after their tree 🌲 was cut down. Since the tree was located in a city, there was no way to renest them. Not much later, a third Cooper's hawk was brought to us for the same reason. 😔 They were found circling in the rubble, indicating signs of head trauma. Luckily, he's been responding well to treatment! 🧠❤️ Once these guys get bigger, they'll be moved to our raptor complex before being released back into the wild! 🦅🌳🌲 Click here to learn more about our wildlife center: https://ahconnects.org/wildlife/
