Nala is a 2yr old German Shepherd. Her birthday is July 30. We are looking for a new home for her that will have the time for her. Unfortunately we are so busy with work and kids starting sports that require travel. She does have some behavioral issues. She has anxiety with new people. She will need training.

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 that curly tail and those gorgeous eyes!) This girl is just a big playful pup (a year old as of 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! (Check out this sweet girl enjoying her pup cup!) 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
Meet Everest, a lovable 1-year-old Shepherd mix who’s ready to find his forever home!This playful pup is already potty trained and walks well on a leash. He’s super dog-friendly and loves romping around with his canine buddies. He has the fastest and cutest zoomies! Everest is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes continued training a fun and rewarding experience.While Everest is affectionate with those he knows, he needs slow positive introductions to new people before entering his home. Because of this, he would do best in a home without children, where he can feel understood. Once he feels safe, he loves to curl up and snooze by your side or on the couch—he’s the ultimate chill companion.Crates aren’t his favorite place, but he does well with structure and a consistent routine. He’d much rather be near his person, especially if it involves a cozy nap or a walk in the fresh air.Everest shines brightest outdoors—whether it`s hiking, exploring, or playing in the yard, he’s the perfect adventure buddy. He’s still a young pup and will thrive with structure, patience, and continued training.If you’re patient, kind, and ready to help him feel safe, Everest will reward you with loyalty and love. Apply today to meet this gentle boy!

Meet Aspen! Aspen came to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC), and it didn’t take long for his big personality to shine through. He’s a friendly, playful pup who absolutely loves a good game of fetch—he could keep you throwing the ball for hours! Aspen is a sweet, fun-loving dog with a lively spirit and a great sense of play. We’re still getting to know him and learning more about his personality each day, but it’s clear he’s full of joy and ready to be someone’s best buddy. If you're looking for an energetic companion who brings a lot of heart, Aspen might be the one for you.

Cypress is an absolute lovebug with a big heart and an even bigger personality! He’s great with other dogs and loves to romp around the yard, tossing toys and bouncing with joy. Whether he's playing with furry friends or soaking up affection from people, he brings nonstop smiles wherever he goes. This spirited pup is not just about fun—he’s also doing fantastic with his training and truly enjoys it. Cypress is learning his manners on leash and thriving with consistency and guidance. He’d be an amazing running partner or trail companion for someone who shares his zest for adventure. Cypress has come such a long way, and now all he needs is a family to keep up the momentum and give him the love and structure he craves. He’s ready and waiting for his forever home—could it be with you?

Digger

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Senior
McHenry, IL
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Digger, a sweet, cuddly German Shepherd around 8 years old. He's a laid-back companion who loves to relax by your side and spend hours gazing peacefully out the window. He’s great with kids and knows basic commands. Digger struggles with separation anxiety. When left alone, he panics and can become destructive in attempts to escape. He needs someone who is home most of the time, has experience with anxious dogs, or is willing to work with a trainer. I haven't explored training options yet, so there may be room for progress with the right person. I do have an impact crate that he is unable to escape that I’m willing to sell (due to the cost of the crate). I originally took him in as a foster and hoped to keep him, but it’s become clear my home and schedule aren’t the right fit. I want the best for him.
