Story

Greetings, I’m Jasper!I’m a handsome senior boy... you might even say I’m a silver fox. Even though I’m a chihuahua. I’m pretty happy to meet new people: if you sit down, I’ll probably crawl right into your lap! But being an older guy, I’m pretty confident in what I want... and if I’m uncomfortable, I’ll let you know. Even though it’s chilly outside, I still like going for walks! I’m looking for a family who will spoil me in my golden years and respect my communication.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No, I’ve never spent much time with kids and am looking for a calm retirement home.OTHER DOGS: No, other dogs stress me out. I am looking to be the only dog.CATS: Potentially, I’ve not lived with a cat before but with a cat used to living with dogs, we should be ok.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Potentially, if you have knowledge or experience of small breeds and senior needs.FENCED-IN YARD: Not necessary.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, though I do love to snuggle my human so I might not enjoy being alone for too long.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low.HOUSE-TRAINED: No. I still commonly eliminate in the home and don’t reliably use pee pads.If you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!

Story

Meet Odong-i 🐾 A beautiful 2-year-old Jindo mix girl, weighing about 10kilos, with a heart that has grown stronger every single day. Odong-i was transferred to Dream Tails after facing euthanasia at a city shelter. When she first arrived, she was very underweight and had clearly known hunger. She would eat quickly and protect her food, afraid it might disappear. But with time, consistent care, and full meals every day, Odong-i began to relax. She gained healthy weight and learned that food would always be there. Today, she can eat comfortably, even around other dogs. Beyond her resilience, Odong-i is a truly affectionate and joyful girl. She loves being brushed and petted, soaking up every bit of attention. She plays beautifully with other dogs and genuinely enjoys being around humans — her trust and warmth are so special to witness. She walks nicely on leash and enjoys calm strolls by your side. Odong-i has likely never lived inside a home before, so she will need gentle guidance with potty training, learning household routines, and understanding how to stay alone — just like many dogs when they first transition into a new environment. With patience, consistency, and love, she is expected to adapt well. Odong-i’s past may have been uncertain, but her future doesn’t have to be. She is ready for a family who will continue to show her she is safe, cherished, and finally home for good. Could Odong-i be the missing piece your heart has been waiting for?

Story

Meet Heedong 🐾 A gentle, loving 2-year-old Jindo mix girl, weighing around 18 kilos, who is still patiently waiting for her forever home. Heedong was saved by devoted volunteers at another city shelter when she had nowhere else to go. With no foster or adoption options available, she was transferred to Dream Tails, where she is safe — but still hoping for the stability of a family of her own. Heedong is a truly kind and emotionally balanced dog. She is very social with people and other dogs, wonderful with children, and incredibly affectionate. Because she loves humans so much, she can get very excited and may jump up on people to greet them — something that can be easily guided with gentle training. She walks calmly on leash and enjoys exploring the world by your side. While she has never lived inside a home before, she is intelligent and eager to learn. With routine and guidance, she is expected to adjust quickly. She may briefly growl if another dog approaches during meals, but this behavior is limited to feeding time and easily managed. Heedong has already shown remarkable patience and resilience. What she needs now is stability, love, and a place to belong. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who bonds deeply and brings quiet joy into a home, Heedong may be the dog you’ve been waiting for.

Story

Meet Bean — small dog, big personality, zero interest in being boring Bean is a Bulldog with a heart far bigger than her compact, snorty body. She’s affectionate, funny, deeply people-oriented. Bean didn’t have the best start in life, but you’d never know it from the way she bonds with her humans. She loves being included in whatever you’re doing — walks, lounging, adventures, or just supervising daily life like a tiny, judgmental foreman. She walks beautifully on leash, has excellent recall, and sticks close to her people even in open spaces. She’s also surprisingly adventurous — she once rode across the St. Clair River on a Seadoo standing proud in the footwell with her ears flapping like she does this sort of thing every Tuesday. Bean would do best as the only dog in the home. Important: Bean is free to the right home with the firm condition that she be spayed. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, endlessly entertaining little companion, she is it !
