Here are some special stories & videos Animal House shelter, Inc would like to share with you! 
Note from Dylan Nelson, owner of The Doghouse of Barrington-
The Doghouse of Barrington has recently been teaming up with Animal House Shelter. We realized we could help dogs with a wide array of issues just from our pack & services. Exercise, socialization, sleeping with our staff and constant love & attention have played a huge role in rehabilitating our first few dogs who needed good homes.... Currently we are rehabbing Lucky and JJ, 2 Male MinPin/Chihuahua litter mates. They came to us to work on there social skills with dogs and humans. They were very scared and timid upon meeting someone new. But they passed our temperament test and they've been living with us for 3 months now. They are now ready for a good home, so we've put together this little video to show you their amazing progress. If you or anyone you know might be interested, please call us at 847.381.9959 for more details. Thank you

Lucky & J.J's Video!


Lucky                      JJ

Lucky & JJ are two 3 year old Min Pin/Chihuahua mixes that we rescued as strays from a high kill facility in Southern Illinois.  When they arrived, they would not even let staff or volunteers touch them at AHS.  Thanks to the generosity of Dylan Nelson with the Doghouse of Barrington, they have made huge strides in their trust of people.  They warm up to women much faster than men but they just need someone to give them time and compassion.  We are looking for someone to adopt the two of them together as they are very attached to each other.  Please consider fostering, adopting or sponsoring these two boys!

                                  Nemo is an eleven year old Himalayan Mix - Lynx Point who is a real love-bug who cannot seem to get enough petting! He was found wandering the streets of Huntley in the cold and rescued by a good Samaritan. Nemo came to AHS drooling profusely, with a mouth full of infected teeth. So, after a course of anibiotics and complete bloodwork panel to make sure he was healthy enough, he got a dental and all of his teeth were removed. He feels so much better and is eating very well both wet and dry food. Nemo is just the nicest cat who loves being held, sitting on a lap or just a good long petting session. Please stop in to meet Nemo and give this senior fellow a home.  Adoption Donation:$75

Georgia needs an early Mother's day gift!

Please donate to  help Georgia now! This sweet Chocolate Lab mother arrived at Animal House 1/19/11 with 12 puppies! Upon arrival AHS staff was shocked at the condition this selfless mom was in. She loved her babies so much that she gave them all she had. Georgia spent so much time feeding her pups that she couldn't even think about eating anything herself.   She was too weak to even stand on her own when she came in. Please help Georgia by sponsoring her so she can get the urgent medical care and rehabilitation she needs or consider fostering her, this nurturing mom needs some unconditional love of her own.

UPDATE: When Georgia first arrived at AHS we noticed that she was not putting any weight on her back leg.  We initially thought it was solely because of malnutrition that she was weak and couldn't walk properly.  Georgia went in for her first vet check up, the vet did x rays and now says that she needs surgery on her hip (FHO surgery) and it will cost the shelter around $1,000.  We really need your help with donations.  Her medical bills will exceed $1,500 with everything before and after surgery.  Please donate by clicking on any Donate Now button throughout the site or by mailing a check to Animal House Shelter, Inc.  Thank you for your support!

REX
7 year old male Boxer. This poor older guy was adopted out from us 6 years ago and returned because of the baby being allergic. He also has a rare form of diabetes, called diabetes insipidus, in which his body can not concentrate his urine and he is constantly thirsty so he needs to urinate frequently.  Their is a medication to control the urinating but it costs over $200/month.  Please help us help Rex while he is in our care by sponsoring him (click on any Donate Now button throughout the site, fostering or adopting him.  He is an extremely sweet boy, great with children and so very depressed and confused as to why he no longer has a family and is in a shelter.
