My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elvis is looking for his forever home! He is part of a bonded pair (check out Gravy, his partner in crime). Elvis is special needs and will need a lot of patience and kindness. He has to wear a male wrap daily. Elvis has a collapsed trachea and requires daily medication. He needs to live in a cold environment, or in a home with air conditioning, as he will have breathing issues if he overheats or gets too warm. If you want to give Elvis and his pal Gravy some extra TLC find us on FB or our website tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org to fill out an application for these sweet souls!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We do thorough legal background checks and call all references, landlords etc. Do not leave anything blank or we cannot process your app.

2.

Interview

We discuss the adoption and at this time answer any questions applicants may have

3.

Approve Application

If all checked out we then send approvals via email and adopters then can reserve with a deposit or set up a meet in greet if applicable.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

We have a legally binding contract that must be signed before you can take your fur kid home.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is fairly simple as long as apps are filled out correctly and fully and all checks out. We do screen with a background check program and call vet references and personal references. If any of this is left blank we cannot and will not process applications. Meet and greets are set up after an applicant is approved. At that time if they wish to adopt then we have a legally binding contract that must be signed prior to taking pet home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Meets are available with an approved application, then this is set up. We have adoption events twice a month in Illinois, Elgin area, and this is always advertised in advance on our fb page. We do not do open adoptions so if attending our events with intentions to adopt please have your application put in prior to each event. People are welcome always to come hold and meet some of the dogs and puppies :)
