Story

Handsome, happy, and ready to be your new best friend! ?? I’m Jameson, a guy with a big zest for life and an even bigger love for fun. One of my favorite things is leaning into you for good body rubs and scratches — I soak up affection like a pro. I enjoy fetch, toys, tug-of-war, and long walks, and I’d love a human friend to share adventures with. After a bit of exercise, I’m more than happy to relax with you and enjoy some serious snuggle time. I also get along well with other dogs, especially ones my size who like playful, rowdy fun. I’ve lived happily indoors, am house trained, know “come” and other basic commands, and I’m continuing to learn more. I’m friendly, social, and love everyone I meet. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving gentleman with lots of love to give, I might just be your guy.

Lola

Mixed Breed (Small)

Female, 8 yrs 4 mos

DeKalb, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi I’m Lola! I have had a rough start to life but I’m learning how to enjoy it now! When you first meet me I am super shy so a calm house is best for me, I may even hide under the couch but I’m just playing hide and seek. I am very quiet as I don’t bark. Once I know I can trust you I will follow you around everywhere you go! I love to cuddle! Cuddling is actually the key to my heart and my foster mom says I give the best cuddles. My foster mom also says my little prance around the house is so cute it will melt your heart! I am pee-pad trained and can be left out while you are away. Being outside scares me so I need some confidence when it comes to going outside. I did have knee surgery while at Tails but I am all recovered! However, I may still walk a little funny after a long nap. I do great with little dogs (bigger ones tend to scare me as I am so little myself weighing under 10 pounds!)! Life is still a little new to me but I am the sweetest girl you will ever meet!

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

DeKalb, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Pebbles! I might act a little shy when we first meet, but once I open up you’ll discover that I’m a quirky, loving pup with lots of personality. I’m a timid girl who just needs a little time and routine to build my confidence—but the love and cuddles I give in return are absolutely worth it. I’m crate trained, doing great with house training, and I really enjoy relaxing on the couch (it might quickly become my spot!). I’m gentle, sweet, and happiest when I’m getting attention. I recently learned how to play with other dogs and would probably enjoy having a confident dog friend to help me keep coming out of my shell. I walk nicely on a leash and I’m respectful around cats. What I really need is a patient home that will give me love, consistency, and time to blossom. If you’re looking for a unique, sweet couch companion with a big heart, I might be your girl!

Teddy

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

DeKalb, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Teddy! One of the first things people notice about me is my gorgeous blue eyes, but once you get to know me, you’ll see I have a sweet heart to match. I’m a gentle boy who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. I can be a little nervous at times, so I’m looking for a patient home that can give me a consistent routine to help me feel safe and build my confidence. With stability, kindness, and a little time, I really start to relax and show my loving side. I’d do best with a family that understands that some dogs just need a little extra reassurance. In return, I’ll be a loyal companion with the most beautiful eyes watching over you. If you’re ready to give a sweet boy the calm, loving home he needs, I’d love to meet you.
