Story
Tucker was surrendered in Oklahoma and was left with no options. When he arrived in Illinois we quickly learned that men were on his "naughty" list and that he may have had a harder first few years than we had hoped. Lucky for him he found an amazing foster mama who took him in and showed him a life of love and companionship. He is great with dogs and cats and crate trained. He can be a little naughty with potty if not watched but has gotten better every month he is here. He loves to lounge on the couch after a jaunt around the yard and will be your best side kick with his loyal nature. Tuckers ideal home would be similar to his fosters- an understanding mama ( no daddy please) with or without other dogs and cats, and no kiddos. Tucker has a lot of love and silly antics to share with the right family. Could it be yours ??

Story
Archie is 12 pounds of pure love. He loves everyone from babies to adults, cats to dogs. He's gentle but so happy, he makes those around him laugh. He doesn't just wag his tail, he wags his whole body. Archie did not start life in a good place. But in spite of his fear (which has greatly diminished), he really loves people. He especially loves children. He kisses cats until they swat him away. He was adopted by a family with three kids (one under a year) and another dog. It was tragic when the other dog, a 5-pound-Chihuahua, decided that she hated Archie. She had never played with toys, but if Archie played with a toy she snapped at him. If Archie went near "her" child, she growled at him. If Archie went to lie down on the soft blanket on the couch, she attacked. Because of the small children, they decided they couldn't keep Archie. (One of the kids suggested keeping Archie and not their dog!) He adored the baby and just wanted to lie near him. So he's back in foster where he plays with the other dogs (he loves other dogs and needs to be in a home with another dog to help him feel safe and to know the rules). He would do great in a home with another dog and a fenced yard. He would also love kids to play with, but that's just on his wish list, not a requirement. If you think a gentle, affectionate, sweet, happy dog might make your life better, please apply for Archie! If youre interested this or one of our other dogs or would like help finding the perfect match please submit an application.

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!"
