Story
Kiwi is an absolute darling girl with the most fun bubbly personality! During her time in foster care she became a fast favorite with our Illinois volunteer team (It must be those gorgeous eyes!) She sadly is being returned to our rescue after what she thought was her forever, no fault of hers. This girl is just a big playful pup (a year old in January 2025) and has a lot of energy. She would really love an active family who can keep up with her or a big fenced in yard she can run all those zoomies out in! After play time, she loves to snuggle, lay on comfy furniture ,and gobble up all the treats she can find! This spunky girl is crate and potty trained! So she is ready to be your best friend! Kiwi LOVES dogs, cats, and people of all ages. However, we think she would absolutely thrive as the only pup in the house so she can soak up all the attention! Some of Kiwi’s favorite things are being outside running in the yard, toys, and cuddling on the couch. She also hasn’t tasted a treat she isn’t quick to gobble up. Kiwi likes to be in the same room with her people, unless she has found the perfect spot to spy on the local wildlife. You’re sure to be laughing at her quirky antics while she chases her tail. Ready to open your heart and home to Miss Kiwi?! Fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ or find us on FB! Kiwi is currently being fostered in the Algonquin, IL area and would love to meet you at a private meet and greet when you have an approved application!

Story
Hi! My name is Abby and my owners say that I am just the sweetest girl and will make an awesome companion for the right home! I am 4 years old, happy, healthy, and up do date on all my shots. I weight about 60 lbs and love to keep active. My perfect home would have a large fenced in yard with lots of room for me to run. I have lived with another dog but we don’t always see eye to eye so I prefer to be the only dog in the home. I have also lived with cats but I have a high prey drive and like to chase them sometimes. I’m good with kids but I can get a little excited while playing so probably best to not be around small children or toddlers since I can knock them over easily. My owners say that I am a super smart girl and would really benefit from some proper training, but I am fully house trained, bell trained, and can be left alone without destroying anything. If it sounds like I would fit good into your home please reach out. Hope to hear from you soon.

Roxy is a great family dog. We are too busy and hate for her to be home alone for long periods. She has lots of energy and a loving energy. She needs more training with manners but otherwise a calm dog. She loves running outside and going for walks. She loves toys that make her think as well as tug of war.

Meet Carter: Your New Adventure Buddy! Carter is the perfect companion for anyone seeking an active, fun-loving dog. This social butterfly thrives on making new friends-both human and canine-and is always ready for the next adventure! Whether it's a car ride to a scenic hiking spot, splashing in the river, or a game of fetch in the yard, Carter is up for it all. He's becoming quite the expert at socializing with other dogs, especially those his size or larger who are game for a good chase or wrestling match. While he's still refining his communication skills, he's eager to please and is ready to learn with his forever family. Carter dreams of a home with a spacious backyard where he can run, play, and soak up the day. He's house-trained, knows his basic cues, and is just waiting for someone to open their car door and take him on a new journey. Ready for a hiking buddy who's loyal, fun, and full of love? Carter's your guy! Carter's Favorite Things: Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces. Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment. Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite volunteers. Cues That Carter Knows: Sit Down Let's Go! Greeting Manners Carter is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Carter, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians. Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Carter, while he waits for his forever home!
