Story
This tender little sweetheart is looking for a calm, loving home to call her own meet Minnie! Minnie is a precious Chihuahua/Yorkie mix (mom is a Chihuahua, dad is a Yorkie), and she is truly a sweet tiny little thing. Cuddly, docile, and tender, Minnie loves to be close to her people and soak up all the affection she can get. Given her small size, Minnie will do best in a home without large dogs or small children, where she can be handled gently and safely. She’d thrive with parents who are home often and can give her the attention and companionship she craves. Since Minnie is still just a baby, she isn’t potty or crate trained yet, but she’s ready and willing to learn! With some patience and consistency, this sweet girl is sure to pick things up quickly. The first step is completing our application. Once received, we’ll review it to see if you and this little one may be a good match! If you’re ready for a lifetime of love (and a little puppy mischief along the way), apply today at www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org! Weight: Growing puppy Expected Size: Small (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix) Breed: Chihuahua/Yorkie mix (mom is Chihuahua, dad is Yorkie) Energy Level: Puppy energy.. playful and active Dog Friendly: Best without large dogs Cat Friendly: Shes a baby-good with anything and everything. The risk is TO her, not other animals. Kid Friendly: Best without small children as she is very tiny Training: Not yet potty or crate trained, she is very young. Special Traits: Cuddly, docile, tender — a sweet tiny little thing Ideal Home: A calm home without large dogs or small children, ideally with parents who are home often

Story
Meet Joey! Being fostered in Buffalo Grove Illinois. This handsome little guy comes to us from Milwaukee after his previous owners got his dad neutered, not realizing mom was already expecting. Now, Joey is ready to strike out on his own and find his forever family. As a Jack Russell / Chihuahua / Rat Terrier mix, Joey packs a huge personality into a small package. He is bold, curious, and always the first to investigate a new toy or explore a new room. After a good session of chasing squeaky balls, he is more than happy to crawl right into your lap for a long puppy nap. Traits: Smart, energetic, playful, lap-sniffer Ideal Home: An active owner or family ready for classic terrier spunk, play sessions, and basic puppy training. Health: Current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and provided with a health certificate.

Story
Skipper Say hello to Skipper! Being fostered in Buffalo Grove Illinois. Like her brother Joey, Skipper was surrendered by a caring Milwaukee family following an unexpected litter. She is a gorgeous Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix looking for a loving home to grow up in. Skipper is as sweet and affectionate as they come. She has plenty of puppy energy for games of chase, but she is also a big softie who loves being held like a baby and getting belly rubs. Skipper is wonderfully observant and loves sticking close to her favorite humans to see what they are up to. Traits: Affectionate, observant, playful, snuggly Ideal Home: Anyone looking for a devoted, cuddle-bug companion who is eager to learn and ready for lots of attention. Health: Current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and provided with a health certificate.

Story
Meet Fresno, a spunky little guy with a soft side waiting to shine! Fresno is about 3 years old and full of personality. He is crate trained and currently working on potty training (cold weather is definitely not his favorite!). Fresno is a sensitive soul who can be anxious and nervous in new situations and is slow to warm up, which may sometimes come across as being a bit nippy when he’s unsure. Because of this, Fresno will need a child-free home with someone who has prior dog experience and understands how to work patiently with dogs who need time, structure, and reassurance. With consistency, gentle guidance, and continued confidence-building, Fresno has great potential to grow into a more secure and trusting companion. Once Fresno feels safe and bonded, his sweet side comes out—he enjoys relaxing and napping with his people and truly values quiet companionship. He would do best in a calm, predictable home where his boundaries are respected and his progress is celebrated. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a dog who will form a deep bond and reward your efforts with trust and affection, Fresno could be the perfect fit.   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2576154##

Story
If you’re looking for a laid-back, low-maintenance companion, Russ is your guy. This sweet senior knows exactly what he likes in life: a soft blanket, a comfy bed, and a human to relax beside. Give him a cozy spot and he’s in absolute heaven. Russ can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate side shines through. He loves gentle scratches (especially all over!) and will happily curl up next to you on the couch for a quiet night in. Don’t expect a toy enthusiast—Russ would much rather binge-watch your favorite shows with you than chase a ball. This treat-loving gentleman has a soft spot for blueberries, cheese, peanut butter, and pretty much any snack you’re willing to share. One of his cutest habits? He’ll rub his head into your hand to politely request more pets—it’s his way of saying “don’t stop!” Russ values his comfort and isn’t a fan of being moved once he’s settled in. He’ll let you know when something isn’t his preference, so he’s looking for an experienced dog owner who understands canine body language and will respect his boundaries. In return, you’ll get a loyal, calm companion who just wants to be near you. He would do well with men, women, and older children who understand his need for space. Russ isn’t very active and is perfectly content lounging the day away. Whether you work from home or head out during the day, he handles alone time well and will be ready to greet you with quiet sweetness when you return. At 10 years old, Russ is ready to enjoy the good life—filled with comfort, love, and plenty of snacks. If you’ve got a cozy spot and a gentle heart, Russ might just be your perfect match   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2716728##

Story
Scoops is a sweet 5-year-old guy who is happiest when he is right by his people! He absolutely loves attention and would happily spend his entire day cuddled up in your lap if you let him. Scoops is good with other dogs and loves people. He is still working on his potty training and will need a family who is patient and willing to continue helping him learn. He also does not enjoy being alone, so he would do best in a home where he can have plenty of companionship. Some of Scoops’ favorite things: People Being outside Treats Laps… 24/7!‍ Walks and exploring Cuddling Scoops enjoys an active lifestyle and loves getting outside, walking around, and being part of whatever his people are doing. But when the activity is over, he is more than happy to settle in for some serious cuddle time! If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to be with his people, enjoy some walks and fresh air, and then curl up in your lap for the rest of the day, Scoops may be your perfect match!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11-3 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.   Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2781067##
