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
Meet Matilda. This sweet girl is all about snuggles, treats, and being close to her people. She loves curling up with you, hanging out by your side, and soaking up every bit of affection she can get. Her one-up, one-down ear and the soft black mane around her neck make her extra adorable without her even trying. She also really enjoys her crate and is doing well as she continues working on her potty training. Matilda is a cuddly companion who’s ready to bring lots of love to her future home.

Story
Meet Mulan! 💕 Mulan is absolutely adorable — a gentle ball of energy who’s full of love and making great progress with her manners! She adores being close to her foster family and giving sweet kisses. Her little bark only comes out when she’s ready to play, and it’s as cute as she is! Mulan does wonderfully with kids and dogs of all sizes (her foster brothers are 90 lbs and 20 lbs!), and she loves going for walks. She’s calm and friendly around people, children, other dogs, and even bicycles. This smart girl is fully potty trained and lets you know when it’s time to go out. She’s also a crate superstar, she sleeps through the night and stays calm while her foster mom works. Mulan’s favorite things include her Kong and pig ears, and she already knows “sit” and “come.” She travels beautifully in the car and will make an amazing adventure buddy. Mulan truly is the full puppy package—loving, loyal, and ready to bring joy to her forever family! 🐾Learn more or apply to adopt at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Story
Meet Kenna — tiny puppy, huge personality, zero fear. This two-month-old Terrier mix approaches life like she’s the CEO of Fun and everyone else is her unpaid intern. Kenna bounces from toy to toy as if she’s conducting official business, greets every living thing like she’s running for mayor, and dives into new adventures with the confidence of someone who has never once been told “no.” She’s playful, social, and already working on crate and potty training (she insists she’s basically a prodigy). She loves kids, cats, and other dogs — honestly, if you have a pulse, congrats, you’re already on her friendship list. Kenna is looking for a forever family who can appreciate her cheerful chaos, applaud her daily zoomie performances, and provide snacks on a regular schedule… or whenever she demands them with her dramatic puppy eyes. Think your home is exciting enough for Kenna’s bold little spirit? She’s skeptical but willing to give you a chance. 😉 📩 Apply to adopt: tailsofhopewi.org ⚠️ Note: Donations via PetFinder’s “Sponsor Me” tab do not go to Tails of Hope-WI.
