Story
We adopted James about 3.5 years ago, we think he's almost 7. When he was rescued his leg was broken and they amputated it but it definitely doesn't slow him down. He loves playing fetch and learning tricks for treats. His behavior indicates a rough life but he's quick to learn and has improved significantly. He would probably thrive in a single dog home with someone who has experience with dogs. He does not like cats or small children. We recently became pregnant and it's not going well for him. We love him so much and hope we can find someone he deserves.

Story
Patches is a goofy little Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a tail that rarely stops wagging. He’s the only boy of his litter and proudly leans into the role of fun-loving sidekick, always ready to play or follow his people around the house. He does have an umbilical hernia that will be repaired at the time of his neuter, and it doesn’t slow him down one bit. With his affectionate personality and cheerful energy, Patches is the kind of pup who brings smiles wherever he goes. He is currently fostered in Dodge, WI. He has a small umbilical hernia that will be repaired at the time of his spay. It is minor, not causing him any discomfort, and is not considered life-threatening. Patches is accepting applications now but cannot go home until February 25th.

Story
🐾 Meet Ripley! 🐾 Part-time explorer. Full-time snack enthusiast. Professional belly-rub collector. Ripley is a happy, food-motivated boy who believes every day is an opportunity for adventure… followed immediately by a nap. He’s the type of pup who will joyfully trot around the yard, investigate every leaf, and then fall asleep mid-play because he forgot he has limits. This handsome guy is working hard on potty and crate training — and because snacks exist, he’s learning very quickly. Honestly, he would probably learn astrophysics if you paid him in cheese. Ripley brings the perfect blend of zoomies and snuggles, making him a great match for just about any family that enjoys laughter, love, and occasionally tripping over a puppy. Ready to bring home your new adventure buddy? Ripley is fostered in Holmen, WI. Apply to adopt at tailsofhopewi.org And a quick note: Please avoid using the SPONSOR ME tab on PetFinder — donations sent there do not come to Tails of Hope-WI.
