Story

**Meet our forever puppy!** ❤️🐾 At 11 years old, this handsome hound mix still has the heart, spirit, and energy of a puppy. Outgoing, goofy, and always ready for fun, he's the life of the foster home. Even though he's one of the oldest of all our senior foster dogs, you'd never know it by the way he keeps everyone playing, smiling, and on their toes! His absolute favorite thing in the world? Other dogs! He thrives with canine friends and would love a home with another playful pup to keep him company. His joyful personality is contagious, and he brings so much happiness wherever he goes. Like many hounds, he's got his own quirky charm and would do best with someone who understands and appreciates the unique personalities of his breed. If you know hounds, you know they're equal parts lovable, stubborn, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. We're honestly shocked this sweet boy is still waiting. He's handsome, full of love, and has so much life left to share—yet he rarely gets applications. We know his perfect person is out there, and when they finally meet him, they'll wonder how they ever lived without him. Could you be the one to give this forever puppy the loving home he's been waiting for?

Eve

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 7 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

🐾 Meet Eve – Our Gentle Giant Mama 🐾 Eve came to Border Tails Rescue very pregnant, and just one week later she gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies. Since day one, she’s been a nurturing and devoted mama, and her foster family feels honored to have earned her trust through it all. Now that her pups are weaned and thriving, it’s finally Eve’s turn to find a forever home of her own. 💛 Eve is a 90-pound lovebug who thinks she’s a lap dog—her favorite thing in the world is snuggling up with her people. She’s sweet and welcoming to anyone who enters the home, incredibly affectionate, and very food motivated (which makes training a breeze!). Eve is dog selective—she has lived with other dogs in her foster home but can be reactive with new ones. Because of this, she’d likely do best as the only pet in the home, or with a very well-matched, calm companion. She’s also leash reactive and a very strong puller, so she’ll need a confident handler who can continue working with her on her leash manners and help her feel comfortable on walks. This gentle girl loves toys of all kinds—but fair warning: stuffies don’t stand a chance. Eve is ready to leave her mama duties fully behind and finally be someone’s baby - all her puppies are adopted and now it's her turn! If you’re looking for a big-hearted, loyal companion, Eve might just be your perfect match. 🐶💛

Penelope

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 3 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Here is what her foster has to say! “ Hi, I’m Penelope! I’m a beautiful Pitbull Terrier with a big heart, an even bigger personality—and I’m happy to say I’m now super healthy and heartworm‑free! I’ve got plenty of energy for walks, playtime, and fun, but I also know how to relax and enjoy quality time with my people. I’m fully potty trained and very food‑motivated, which makes me eager to learn and respond well to training. I should admit, though, that I can be a little sneaky—if food is left on the counter, I might think it’s a snack just for me, and I do enjoy checking out low garbage cans—I love a good treasure hunt! But with a little supervision and structure, I do just fine. Being crate trained helps keep me safe and out of trouble when I’m home alone—but it’s my safe space too. One of my favorite things in the world is cuddling. I love being petted, snuggling, and soaking up all the affection I can get—especially belly rubs! I get along with other dogs, but cats aren’t really my thing. Hard pass. But if you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, fun‑loving companion who will keep you smiling and give you endless love, I might just be your perfect match. I can’t wait to find my forever home where I’ll be safe, loved, and spoiled like I deserve. Will you be my person? 💕 Love, Penelope”

Brawn

Karelian Bear Dog Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 6 yrs

Northbrook, IL

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, 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. His foster reports that Brawn is house-trained, dog friendly, kid friendly, loves walks, and is timid, but his personality really comes out when around other dogs!
