Story
This tiny guy is Barkley! He weighs in at a whopping 6 pounds! At 3 years old he is hoping to find his forever home after being moved around quite a bit. He was returned to the local animal control we pulled him from due to potty accidents in the home. He does have occasional accidents indoors. With him being so small, it is likely hard for him to hold his urine for long periods. He would need a family who is willing to work with him with possible potty training or just frequent trips outside to potty.He does have luxating patellas on his back legs, which cause him to walk a little funny at times, but do not cause him pain. Our vet believes Barkley is in good shape, and as long as he stays at an ideal weight, he is unlikely to have issues with his legs.He's a sweet little dude who really just wants to be by his people. He's a vocal guy who will let you know he wants attention and to play. Barkley has met dogs of a wide range of sizes and ages and seems to do well. He recently attended an event off-site and met some young kids and seemed to do okay with them as well.

Story
Hi there my name is Huey and I am a Chihuahua/Schnauzer/Terrier mix about 7 years old. I have been in the rescue for quite some time as it takes me a little time to trust people. I was abused in my past so on my initial meet and greets with new people I am unsure and sudden movements make me scared. Once I get to know you and trust you you can't get rid of me. Once we are BFFs, I am the most loyal, fun, sassy and most of all cuddly friend. I am looking for my forever home with somebody who is either a stay at home, work from home, or retired as I like to be with my people as much as possible. I am completely up to date on my vetting which includes neutered, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, bordetella, negative fecal, negative heartworm, and microchipped. If interested in meeting me please go to the rescue's website www.atailof4paws.org and fill out the application. Once completed email or scan to rescue@atailof4paws.org

Story
Bean is an adorable 4.2 lb gent, who is guessed to be around 12 years old. He is a sweet boy who gets along with other dogs. He does have accidents in the house pretty regularly, but he doesn't object to wearing a belly band, if needed. Bean recently was neutered and had an extensive dental, which included 25 extractions, but he still eats fine. Bean's adoption donation of $300 helps cover the cost of his medical care.   Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab.

Story
Meet Juju (Juniper)! She is a sweet mixed breed lady who came to us from Animal Rescue Corps where she was rescued from a dog hoarding situation. She is guessed to have been born around 2015/2016 and weighs 11 lbs. Despite her past, she is very friendly and well-adjusted and even has done spectacular with her potty training. Her favorite thing to do is cuddle and sleep, especially with her human foster brother. She came to us with a horrible skin infection and missing a lot of hair, but slowly her skin is cleared up and her hair is slowly growing in. She does have one eye that doesn't produce enough tears (dry-eye) and she will need eye medication for life in that eye in the form of prescription drops and OTC lubricating gel. Very easy to manage. Juju was spayed, had a dental with extractions, and also had some mammary masses removed. The masses were carcinoma, but they were completely removed with clear margins and a low chance of recurrence. We would like to see her adopted with Marley who is another dog she came with from the same hoarding situation. They really do spend all their time together and just love each other. They both like to climb like little mountain goats- so their new home should be one that allows dogs on furniture. Juju's adoption donation of $500 (for the pair) helps cover the cost of her medical care. Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (age appropriate), fecal tested and/or dewormed, and microchipped.
