Nelly is very sweet, shy, and a bit of a "Nervous Nelly." She has big love for her foster parents and has gotten along great with both dogs and cats.

If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥ **This dog was rescued from a breeding situation.

Story

✨ Meet Vera ✨ Vera truly loves everyone. This sweet, submissive girl is currently thriving in a foster home with 6 other dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids—and she does wonderfully with all of them! Vera is kennel trained and house broke. She’ll politely whine when she needs to go outside to potty 🐶💬 She loves to play and get her zoomies out, then is more than happy to curl up next to you on the couch for some cuddle time. She has great recall, walks well on a leash, and would do amazing at a dog park where she can safely play off-leash with friends. 🐕🌳 Vera is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, making her an incredible companion for just about any home. If you’re looking for a loving, well-rounded pup, Vera might just be your girl. 💕 Apply to adopt Vera at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Meet Nessie! Nessie is a 4-month-old bundle of happiness with a bubbly personality and a heart full of love. She is incredibly sweet and absolutely adores people and other dogs...everyone is her friend! She greets life with a wagging tail and a big smile, and she’s always so happy. Nessie is crate trained and potty trained, and she’s already learning her manners. She can sit and shake like a little pro. She loves toys, snacks, and giving kisses (she’s a big licker!), and she’s always ready to play or cuddle. She’s still working on her cat skills, as she tends to want to chase, but with continued training and guidance, she’s making progress. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate puppy who will fill your home with laughter, kisses, and love, Nessie is ready to be your new best friend! 🐾 Apply to adopt Nessie at www.tailsofhopewi.org!

Story

Hi, I’m Helen. Okay, let’s just get it out of the way: no, I don’t have any eyes, but it doesn’t slow me down nearly as much as you might think. I get around the house just fine, know where my favorite spots are, and I’m really good at finding my way right next to the people I love. I’m mellow, cuddly, and very sweet. I’m fully potty trained and leash trained, and my favorite thing in the world is sitting beside you and taking a nice, cozy nap. I don’t need a lot of excitement, just your company. I’m good with kids and especially loved my foster’s niece, who would sit with me quietly and give me gentle pets. I do best with older children who can approach me calmly so I don’t get startled. I’m also good with other dogs, but I’d be happiest as the only dog or with other calm, gentle pups who won’t play too rough and will give me my space. My dream home is a quiet, peaceful place where I can feel safe, relaxed, and close to my person. I may not see the world the way others do, but I feel it deeply, especially when it comes to love. If you’re looking for a soft, steady companion who will happily nap by your side, I think we could be perfect together. 🐾 Apply to adopt Helen at www.tailsofhopewi.org!
