1. Nedi
Young (4 months 10 days) · Female · Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 9 mi from Maple Park



Sweet Nedi is a shy little girl. She does like people but it takes her awhile to warm up. She will need someone who is patient and realizes that she won't immediately gravitate to them. She is great with other dogs and would probably benefit from a confident dog to show her that things are okay. We are unsure how she would be around cats but she does not seem to interested in them at adoption events. She is great with kids though. She is crate trained, still working on potty training, walking nicely on a leash, and her basic commands and will need someone to continue working with her. She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

We are not sure how she would be around cats but she didn't seem too preoccupied with them at our adoption events. She is crated trained but still working on potty training, walking on a leash, and other basic commands. She will need a high energy family to keep up with her and continue to work on her training. She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

3. Odie
Adult (5 years) · Male · Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 9 mi from Maple Park






Odie is a very sweet soul. This poor dog has a very sad story. Odie was adopted at 2 years old from animal control. He was returned at 4...they claimed he was having accidents in the house so they locked him outside and then he just barked all the time. This boy will need a patient, understanding family who can help him continue to learn to trust again. He has shown us that he is skittish of loud noises and hands. He is not aggressive at all and doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. He lives in a foster home with little kids and other dogs and is great with all of them and hasn't shown any interest in cats when he has seen them either. He is only about 25lbs and we think he is a terrier mix of some sort. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. He is crate trained but needs work on housebreaking and basic commands. He does bark a lot (we think it is from anxiety and being alone) so he probably won't be best in an apartment at this time.

4. Atlas
Young (1 year) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat) · 18 mi from Maple Park




If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.
Atlas is a handsome 1-year-old Pitbull mix who is neutered, housebroken, crate trained, and ready to find the family he can call his own. He is said to be a Pitbull mix, but as always, we do not DNA test.
Read more about Atlas
Atlas is a happy, affectionate boy who truly loves everyone he meets. He does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to play with. He already knows basic commands, and we are continuing to work with him on leash training and calm, slow-approach greetings. Atlas can get a little excited when meeting new people because he just wants everyone to know how happy he is to see them!
Atlas was surrendered to a rural pound when he was around 7–8 months old after his family's circumstances changed. Despite that unexpected start, Atlas has remained a loving, playful, people-friendly boy who is eager to please and ready for his next chapter.
His favorite things include walks, car rides, playing with other dogs, chasing and playing with his ball, and of course plenty of snuggles with his people.
Atlas would do best with a loving, active family who will continue his training, keep him well socialized, and give him plenty of opportunities to learn, play, and be part of the family. With continued guidance and love, Atlas has everything he needs to keep growing into the very best boy he can be.
Could Atlas be the happy, goofy, loving addition your family has been waiting for?
Atlas' adoption fee is $400.00. This includes completed wellness, age appropriate vaccines, and completed spay.

5. Nova
Young (2 years 3 months) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (long coat) · 18 mi from Maple Park


If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.
Meet Nova
Nova is a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd looking for a special home where she can thrive. She is spayed, housebroken, energetic, intelligent, and ready to find a family who understands what a girl like her needs to be successful.
Read more about Nova
Nova is housebroken and will tolerate a crate, although she’ll be the first to tell you it’s not her favorite place! She walks well on a leash but can be reactive when encountering new or unfamiliar experiences, so she needs a confident, patient adopter who will continue working with her and help her build confidence.
Nova would do wonderfully as the only dog in an active household, where she can soak up all the attention. She can do well with other dogs, but introductions need to be slow, controlled, and thoughtful. Because of her energy level, reactivity, and need for structure, we feel she would be most successful in an adult-only home with no cats.
This girl has plenty of German Shepherd energy and needs room to move! Nova is not a candidate for apartment or condo living and will require a large, securely fenced yard where she can safely exercise and play. An active family who enjoys walks, training, outdoor time, and keeping both her body and brain busy would be a great match.
German Shepherd or similar working-breed experience is strongly preferred. Nova isn't looking for someone who expects a couch potato—she needs someone who appreciates the intelligence, loyalty, energy, and personality that come with the breed.
Nova does have pannus, a chronic eye condition that requires ongoing care. She currently receives two eye medications twice daily. Her future family will need to be comfortable continuing her eye-care routine and veterinary follow-up.
Nova's Ideal Home
Adult-only home
No cats
Preferably the only dog, although another dog may be possible with slow introductions
Large, securely fenced yard
No apartments or condos
Active household
German Shepherd/working-breed experience preferred
Someone willing to continue working on her confidence and reactivity
Committed to her lifelong eye care
Nova may need a little more structure and understanding than the average dog, but for the right person, she has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you love German Shepherds and are looking for an active girl to become your loyal sidekick, Nova might just be the one you've been waiting for.
Nova’s adoption fee is $400.00. This includes completed wellness, age appropriate vaccines, and completed spay.

How to adopt from Animal House Shelter, Inc.
Animal House Shelter tries to keep the environment for the animals in our care, as healthy, stress free and comfortable as possible during their stay with us. Therefore, Walk-Through viewing of the dogs is NOT allowed at the shelter, due to the stress it creates. During your visit to the shelter, an adoption counselor will assist you through the adoption process and introduce you to as many dogs as you would like to meet, in order to make the best possible match for you, your family and your new pet. The cats are housed in a large ‘free roam’ cat room. They are able to socialize all day with each other, staff, volunteers and potential adopter. Like people, animals have distinct personalities that make them unique. At Animal House we are proud to say that these animals are treated like our own. We care enough to be certain they go to the right loving, forever home. 1. All adoption donations MUST be in cash, money order, traveler’s check , cashier’s check or by VISA, DISCOVER or MASTERCARD credit card only. NO PERSONAL CHECKS PLEASE. 2. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. 3. All members of the household must be present, including any other dogs you may currently own, in order to do a final adoption (cats do not have to come to the shelter. We will cat test here because we know how stressful it is on the cats to be transported). 4. Dogs and cats that you currently own must be current on vaccinations and spayed/neutered prior to visiting the shelter or any adoption.

Adopting a dog in Maple Park
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
