Story
We adopted Coco about 2.5 years ago. He is a small 9 year old mixed breed dog. He really likes being petted, loves walks and even going for a run, but is also OK to lay low at home. Due to our busy routine we aren’t always able to take him out everyday. He likes small, squishy toys and chasing squirrels in our backyard. We haven’t had much experience with him spending time with other pets, but when he’s at the park with other dogs, he’s always Ok and sometimes just keeps to himself. An ideal home would be someone who has time to take him out for walks and to chill with him at home, preferably a female since he seems to be much more comfortable around women than men, at least at first. Coco knows to use the doggy door to go outside and is also crate-trained. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccination up to date. Coco has a heart murmur, and needs to take medication (Vetmedin) twice a day. The cost of the medication is about $60 per month.

Story
Chip earned this name for two reasons: he's a 10 pound chi, like a chip of wood, i.e. a small part of a big dog, and also he's amazingly chipper at all times, taking off from the front stoop like a long jumper and sort of hopping around on his wobbly back legs at quite a rate of speed. He gets along fine with other dogs, though a little awkward. He can be a little shy and, as with many of them, he'll need a little understanding as he settles in to his new home on his time. Though he follows his foster mom around constantly, his idea of affection seems to be head butts in the morning and occasionally sitting next to her on the couch. He's still getting used to the idea of being loved. We think that he's about 10-years-old and he is 10 lbs. He is hearing impaired but has adjusted fine to this. Chip is very happy to meet another day and we are thrilled to have him in our care. He will do well in a mellow, adult home where he is surrounded by understanding and lots and lots of love.

Story
Our baby TOG girl is patiently waiting for her forever and ever home. She’s blossoming every day - recently earning her Certificate of Completion in Beginning Dog Training and even tackling a 9-mile hike with her foster mom like a champ! We think that she would thrive as an agility dog, she is such a smartie! Annie is looking for a calm, adult home where she can keep learning and building on her good manners. She sleeps soundly through the night and greets every morning with happy tail wags and excitement for breakfast. She’s learning the joys of daily walks and gets along well with the other dogs in her home. She is about 4 years old and she weighs 21 lbs. Cheerful and eager to please, Annie is ready for her happily ever after.

Story
This little charmer may only have one eye and a toothless grin, but he makes up for it with a huge personality. Pepe gets along well with other dogs, though he’ll do best in a home without children since he can be a bit feisty at times. Pepe’s past hasn’t slowed him down - he came to us with a previously broken jaw that healed on its own, so he does best with soft food. While he has a couple of teeth left, his heart murmur means we won’t be pursuing further dental work. At the moment, he isn’t on any long-term medications, just some ear medication for a minor infection. He is about 8 years old and a whopping 6 lbs. He’s a boy who knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to let you know! Above all, Pepe adores snuggling under cozy blankets, so his forever family will need to make sure he has plenty to burrow into. If you’re looking for a spunky, opinionated, and oh-so-snuggly companion, Pepe just might be your guy.

Story
Eva lived in an assisted living facility with her beloved Papa. After he passed, another resident tried to care for her, but it quickly became too much. When the family reached out to us, we knew right away that this sweet girl belonged with Tails of Gray. 8-year-old Eva is a mellow, house-trained little lady who loves to cuddle, gets along beautifully with both people and dogs, and is happiest snuggled on the couch surrounded by a mountain of blankies. Aside from a heart murmur and minor arthritis, she is considered healthy. She arrived a bit underweight at 12 lbs, but she’s steadily filling out. Since joining us, Eva has truly blossomed — even showing a cute, playful side we hadn’t seen before. She’s ready for the next special chapter of her life and can’t wait to meet her forever family.

Story
We need to rehome our 6 year old bull terrier. He is in need of a more experienced owner. He is house trained but does need to be monitored around some things (like children’s toys and stuffed animals). He is good with younger kids but he does tend to bump into them unintentionally like most dogs of his breed do. He needs a home with a little bit of room to roam around and does require decent walks as he does have a lot of energy
