FROM THE SHELTER:

Janie is a purebred chihuahua who was found as a stray in the area.  Her owners never claimed her.  She was found during a bad thunderstorm.  She weighs around eight pounds.  She is shy but once she knows you she is very sweet.  She loves playing with toys.  She is not great with other dogs right now but with time and work we think she'll get better.  For more information about Janie or to fill out an application please go to our web site at www.aear.org.

UPDATE 10-19-09  Janie moved to a new foster home where she can get more one-on-one attention.  Now that she has settled in and is so traumatized after coming in as a stray she is loving to play with toys and excited to see new people.  She is bossy with new dogs but with an easy going dog who lets her be boss she's fine and even initiates play.

UPDATE  11-02-09  Janie was barking too much in that foster home.  (The foster mom lives in a condo) so Janie moved back to her original foster home.

UPDATE 11-12-09  We took Janie to the vet to get spayed and her shots and the poor baby tested positive for Heartworm.  So Janie is going to stay with her veterinarian so he can work on socializing her and getting her more comfortable before she undergoes treatment.  Janie is a young dog so we are confident she will survive the treatment.  But please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  The heartworm treatment is expensive so if you would like to help Janie by donating towards her treatment you can make a donation on our web site at www.aear.org or send a check to AEAR P.O. Box 7343 Libertyville, IL. 60048.  Please make sure to mention the donation is for Janie and we'll have her send you a thank you note!

All our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes. This gives us the ability to really get to know the animals we have available and find them families that are a good fit for them based on their personalities. We do not have a shelter to visit the animals.
