Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Brawn has known more heartache in his five years than most dogs should ever have to face. But despite it all, this brave soul still believes in love. A resilient and gentle Korean Jindo, Brawn made the long journey from Korea in hopes of finding a family who will finally give him the life he’s always deserved. Behind his soulful eyes lies a story of survival, strength, and quiet hope. He may not come bounding up with puppy-like energy, but what he offers is even more special—a calm, steady presence, and a heart that’s just waiting for someone to say, “You’re safe. You’re home.” True to his Jindo nature, Brawn is loyal, thoughtful, and deeply sensitive. He doesn’t ask for much—just a warm spot to rest, a gentle hand to reassure him, and a chance to love and be loved in return. If you have room in your life for a dog who’s come a long way—both in miles and in heart—Brawn is waiting. And he’s been waiting a long time. From his foster: "We have been fostering Brawn for over a week and I just wanted to say that he is the sweetest most skittish boy. It takes him a while to warm up to you, so he will need a very patient caretaker. He is not housebroken, is a picky eater, very energetic, sharp squirrel hunter and is getting much much more comfortable in his crate. He is very skittish so a no slip leach is a must. He is very territorial, so if he is to share a home with another dog, the dog needs to be very accepting. He barks, when he senses danger or if there is an unfamiliar scent in the house. He is very accepting of kids, my 8-year old is actually his favorite. He has been giving us kisses daily, at his own rate."

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

Sugar Faced Trevor is a two-year-old pit bull with one of the most charming faces you’ll ever see — right on his snout is a perfect little patch of color that looks just like a lipstick kiss.

Whether he’s leaning in for cuddles, showing off his goofy side during playtime, or soaking up praise like sunshine, Trevor is a total sweetheart. Despite his “sugar-faced” nickname, Trevor’s still a young guy with plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life. He’s ready for long walks, new adventures, and — most importantly — a family who’ll give him all the love his kiss-marked nose seems to promise.
