Meet Percy! 🤍 Percy may be missing a little fur right now, but he's not lacking in love and cuddles! This brave young boy is currently in his "healing era," and while his coat will be back to full glory soon, his sweet personality is already shining through. Percy has a delightful "old man" vibe; he’s perfectly content just being wherever you are. While he’s a dedicated shadow to his favorite humans, he still finds time to romp around with his foster dog siblings. If you’re looking for a dog who is already a house-training pro and gets along with everyone (dogs, cats, and kids!), Percy is your man. Apply to adopt Percy at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Meet Willow 🌿🐾 Willow is a sweet and spunky girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She knows her kennel and will happily go in when prompted. Willow is doing well with going potty outside but isn’t fully house trained just yet. One thing she really excels at? Recall! She does a fantastic job coming when called. Willow is dog- and cat-friendly. She loves people and enjoys being close to her humans. This playful girl loves toys, treats, bones to chew on, and playing with her dog friends. She also enjoys running and playing in the snow, cuddling, and showing off her skills. Willow already knows sit and can shake with both paws, and she clearly enjoys performing her tricks! Willow loves to burn off her energy, but she’s just as happy staying in and cuddling all evening once playtime is over. She can't wait to meet her forever family 💕 Apply to adopt Willow at www.tailsofhopewi.org Located in: Green Bay, WI NOTE: Donations made through the SPONSOR ME tab on PetFinder do not support Tails of Hope WI!

Meet Pippa 💕 Pippa is a petite, happy little snuggler with a personality that will make you smile every single day. She’s fully house trained (as long as she’s let out on a regular schedule) and crate trained. Pippa does great with other dogs and currently lives happily with six canine companions. She’s also kid-friendly! This joyful girl prances when she walks and will happily dance for a treat, especially when her favorite people are around. She gets adorably excited when she sees you, loves being pampered and carried. Pippa also takes her role as kitchen supervisor very seriously. She enjoys watching you cook and staying close by. She truly adores her people and will be your loyal little shadow, ready for snuggles and companionship whenever you are. 🐾💗 Apply to adopt Pippa at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Meet River! River is a sweet, affectionate, and playful boy who loves being close to his people. He enjoys cuddling, sleeping through the night, and playing with his toys, especially chewing on his favorite bones.

He is crate trained and sleeps through the night. He also enjoys going to work with his foster mom and settles nicely in the office. River can be a little talkative during playtime, which just adds to his fun personality. He is currently working on “sit” and “quiet” and is eager to learn.
