My personality

My story

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

Laverne is a sweet cavapoo looking for an experienced patient family that speaks 'dog'. Laverne is a breeder release from a commercial facility. She hasn't had the benefit a dog her age might have who was born in a home. That being said, while she is initially scared and timid, once she feels safe she is longing to bond with a family. She will likely always be a touch timid but she’s far more confident than most breeder releases. She’s actually a very spirited gal. . She needs family who will help her slowly decompress and adjust in her own time. Laverne is a friendly gentle gal. She needs a fenced in yard for her potty place. She doesn't understand leash walking.

Cavapoos tend to be Velcro dogs. They want to be close to a human, Laverne is friendly, wags her tail and then retreats, She wants to be cared for, She needs to relax enough to know she can move forward without fear, She needs a patient adopter without expectations she will change but will give her the time to allow her to if she chooses,

Like all dogs, she will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs, not only to give Laverne important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together.

Laverne is fully vetted. She has been spayed, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of her adopter. Her adoption fee is $600..00. She is on the hunt for her own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Laverne wants to be sure her family is all in for better or for worse!

IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 12 MONTHS): You must have a flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you.

We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits. If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate for Laverne, please fill out an application for her adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption.
The first step in the process is to complete an application.

We are all volunteers with full-time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. We are an in home foster volunteer group. We are not a brick and mortar, There is no building to come and view dogs.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at: RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com.

Additional adoption info

To adopt any animal from Rescue Tails we require a completed and verified adoption application. Once we can review the application, we can set up a meet and greet. We ask that all members of the household including pets are available for us and prospective pet to meet. Providing that goes well, we will set an appointment with you for a home visit. If all goes well we can proceed to the final step of finalizing the adoption.

More about this rescue

Rescue Tails Animal Welfare is dedicated to rehoming pets from high kill shelters. We choose an animal one at a time and evaluate what issues caused the animal to end up in the shelter and address those issues. Most often we find behavioral issues and/or medical issues . We deal with whatever it is to the best of our ability and then place the pet up for adoption to a responsible pet guardian. It is our goal to prevent the pet from returning to the system again. We work with the pets and carefully match them to their forever homes.
