Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I`m Duke, a just-over-50-pound bundle of playful, people-loving energy here at Tails Humane Society in DeKalb, IL. I had to spend several weeks on crate rest after surgery (rough for a young guy!), so now I’m EXTRA ready to play and explore. I’m smart and eager to please — I know sit and down, I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and sleep great at night. I`ve spent time with children and did really well! I’m medium energy overall, but I can get excited and would love an active family. I’m not perfect on leash yet ??, and I may try to chase critters, or even cars. But I learn fast, especially if you have yummy treats. I enjoy other playful dogs, though I can get a little too enthusiastic sometimes. And I can’t have stuffed or rope toys due to my previous surgery. I’m a sweet, goofy boy who loves people and just wants to join a fun family who will help me keep learning and let me be part of the action. Come meet me!

A staff member will ask you what sort of pet you are looking for and then will provide you with information about specific pets that appear to be a good fit for your family, taking into consideration such factors as: kids, level of activity, your pet experience, other animals currently in the home, etc. You will be encouraged to interact with the pet or pets of your choice in a private visiting room. We believe that bringing a new pet into your home is an important decision so you’ll have plenty of time to make your decision without feeling rushed. Staff and volunteers will be available throughout this time to answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve made your choice, an adoption counselor will review the adoption contract with you.
You’ll pay the adoption fee. Then you’ll take your new family member home with you!
An animal can be put on hold in person at the TAILS facility during regular adoption hours.

Our mission: Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.
TAILS Humane Society is a limited admission animal shelter providing a safe haven for almost 2,400 animals each year. We are committed to providing each animal the time and medical care they need to have their best chance at adoption.
TAILS was established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates dedicated to bringing a comprehensive animal shelter to DeKalb. We operated out of an old farmhouse until 2005 when we cut the ribbon on our Barber Greene facility. In 2009, we opened our low cost Spay/Neuter Clinic providing quality, affordable sterilization services to the public. We continue to grow and strengthen our programs and service as we continue to save lives.
