Story
Gracie is a sweet senior Chihuahua mix who came to us through our Vets and Pets program after her beloved person had to seek medical care. Before he passed, he found comfort in knowing that Gracie would be loved and cared for, and it’s clear just how much devotion she knew in her life—her gentle temperament and loving nature say it all. Gracie is a soft-hearted little soul who enjoys quiet companionship, warm laps, and kind words, and she’s hoping to spend her golden years sharing that same love with a new family who will cherish her as deeply as she deserves.

Story
Looking for a Smart, Loyal Companion with Tons of Personality? Meet Arty! I'm a small wire-coated dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I'm the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds with my people—and when I love you, I love you completely. What Makes Me Special I'm incredibly affectionate with people I trust. Once we've built our connection, I'll be your devoted shadow—curling up beside you for movie nights, greeting you with pure joy when you come home, and gazing at you like you're my whole world. My foster mom says I have more love to give than dogs twice my size. I'm also smart and independent, which means I'm great at entertaining myself and don't need constant attention. I know what I like and I'm not shy about it, which my foster family finds endearing (and often hilarious). What I'm Looking For The perfect home for me is with someone who appreciates a dog with character. I do best with: An experienced dog owner who understands that good things take time A calm, patient person who will let our bond develop naturally Someone who enjoys a dog with personality and independence A home where I can be the center of attention (I prefer being the only pet) My Ideal Day Includes cozy time on the couch, walks at a relaxed pace, playtime on my terms, and lots of quality time with my favorite person—you! I might take a little time to settle in, but I promise the wait is worth it. When I choose you, you'll have a loyal, loving companion for life.

Story
🐾 Meet Shelly – The Sweetest Senior with So Much Love to Give At 10 years young, Shelly is a precious little Chihuahua with the cutest face and a heart full of love. She came to us looking for a fresh start, and now she's ready to spend her golden years exactly how she deserves—being spoiled, snuggled, and surrounded by the warmth of a loving home. Shelly may be a senior, but don’t let her age fool you—this little lady still has plenty of pep in her step! She enjoys short strolls, cozy blankets, sunbeams, and gentle cuddles with her people. Her favorite place to be is right by your side (or better yet, in your lap), soaking in all the love and attention she can get. She’s a calm, easygoing companion who thrives in a peaceful environment where she can truly relax and feel safe. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a tiny best friend, and a daily dose of sweetness, Shelly is your girl. She’s living proof that age is just a number—and that some of the best things in life come in small, senior-sized packages. 💛 Don’t miss your chance to give this perfect girl the forever home she’s been dreaming of. Note from Shelly's Foster: "Shelly is so full of life & love, that it is impossible not to adore her. She has come out of her shell so much since bringing her home. Shelly is loving, silly & so, so brave. I’m not sure what Shelly went through before finding Border Tails, but whatever it was, she hasn’t let it bring her down. This little girl is resilient & full of happiness. Shelly loves going on walks & has the cutest waddle ever. She is happy to meet new people, whether its at the pet store or the drive through. She is definitely a passenger princess! Shelly is super food motivated & never misses a meal. She will let you know it’s time for dinner when she starts following you on her back legs. Shelly is super affectionate & a bit of a 5 stage clinger, but in the best way. She has no problem with handling & loves to be close, whether she is sitting on your lap or laying on your chest. Shelly is working on potty training & the crate isn’t her favorite, but she eventually settles while I am away at work. Shelly would just prefer to be where her people are & who can blame her? Shelly does wonderful co-existing with my female pitbull. She is truly a star & will brighten your life in countless ways!"

Story
Athena Power (female, Terrier mix), Bon Bon Power (male, Chihuahua mix), Chocolate Power (male, Terrier mix), Cookie Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Flower Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Granuda Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Paloma Power (female, Chihuahua mix), and Tobi Power (male, Terrier mix) may all have different faces, sizes, and quirks, but they share one incredible thing in common — a second chance. This group came from a home where they lived their entire lives outdoors, until their family became overwhelmed with caring for so many dogs. They were later transferred to Border Tails Rescue from the Blue Island Police Department, where their journey toward comfort and care truly began. Because they’ve had little exposure to people or the rhythms of indoor life, the Power Dogs are still learning what it means to feel safe. They can be shy, skittish, and even a little spicy when they’re scared — but that’s just fear talking. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, they’re already showing glimpses of the affectionate, curious companions they’re sure to become. They’ll need adopters who can move at their pace, give them space to settle in, and handle them securely outdoors to prevent escapes as they adjust. Double leashing and careful introductions to new people & spaces will be paramount to their safety. The process of earning their trust won’t happen overnight, but when it does, it’s magic — the moment a Power Dog leans in for a cuddle or wags their tail just for you is one you’ll never forget. Once they learn that home is safe, they will return that trust tenfold - often becoming the most loyal, affectionate companions you could imagine. If you’re someone who finds beauty in helping a frightened dog learn what love feels like, one of the Power Dogs might just be waiting for you.

Story
Bon Bon is a snuggle buddy and likes his human nearby and be within his view. He slept most peacefully in his bed and on my lap. He also identified his favorite pillow and dozed off on it. Whether you want a partner to lounge around with on your easy days or to get your steps in on your active days, Bon Bon can be the one for you. He walked great on his leash. No pulling. He’s also a perfect car passenger. He’s either napping or looking out the window. Bon Bon enjoyed playing with his toys but seemed to enjoy interactive games like hide and seek as well. He’s an excellent seeker! He’s also potty trained. Held his potty overnight and would give cues when needing to go out for potty. I do believe that Bon Bon would do best in a quiet, calm adult home where someone can be around most of the time.
