Story

Bruno needs lots of love. He was abandoned by his first family. They literally left him in their house when they moved away. When we first got him, he was skiddish, always cowering when we would reach out to pet him. He acts more like a dog now, but he is very protective. He does not like to be left alone.

Story

A few years ago, this sweet girl was found dumped along the fence of our rescue! She was skin and bones and needed immediate help, so we named her MayDay. Our best guess is she around 6 or 7 years old and a Great Dane/ Staffshire terrier mix. She is very gentle, loves people, and really enjoys car rides. Mayday gets along with males, but is not very playful with other dogs. She would do best as the only fur baby in the home. Since she has been a kennel dog her whole life, MayDay is not pot trained so she will need a family who understands that. This dear girl would love a chance to live out her days in the comfort of a home with a family who will love her! If you want to give MayDay that chance, find us at https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to fill out an application or on facebook (tails of the forgotten paws)

Story

Ushi is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Don't be fooled by that pouty face- it is part of her charm! Ushi is as happy a dog as they come. Ushi arrived to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control as a young pup in March of 2025. This skinny young thing had come down with the "shelter ick," and sadly that turned into a case of pneumonia. We nursed Ushi to health and were so happy when she as adopted the next month. Unfortunately, Ushi's adopters made the difficult decision to re-home her recently. We were glad to welcome her back and in awe of how much she had grown! She is a beautiful young lady, with the exact same pout she had as a puppy. Ushi is beautifully built-- she is long and lean-- and because her adopters did a DNA test we know she is a Great Dane/pittie mix! While it is sad that Ushi has once again found herself in need of a home, the good news is that because she had a home for so many months we know a great deal about her. We know that she is great with all people, housebroken, and crate trained. She is not reactive on leash, knows several commands, and is very well behaved inside of the home. Sometimes, of course, she gets the zoomies, but her adopters described her as a great dog to work from home alongside. They write, "Ushi has so many best qualities. She is sweet, eager to please, learns very quickly, calms down quickly even after periods of intensity. Ushi rarely barks, even at activity out the window, is not prey driven, lets me snuggle her, and self-entertains during the work day. Ushi is doing great at recall exercises outside on a long leash, and is working on "place" exercises at home. Ushi does really well on "place" at the training facility we go to. Ushi doesn't rush or run out the door (we've trained on that). Ushi doesn't counter-surf (we have been careful not to give her the opportunity by not leaving stuff counter edges). Ushi doesn't steal socks, shoes or things that aren't hers, with the rare exception....I could go on." Ushi would be a great dog for an owner who enjoys training and working with their dog. She would also be a great dog for someone who already has a dog, as she has great dog-dog social skills! Ushi is a wonderful pup who is a ready-made companion for someone who wants a dog that is young but pretty laid back, polite, social, and intelligent. Which is...everyone?! We hope! Please inquire about Ushi today! Ushi’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story

I am 69 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $500 I am deaf! Aussie is a large, loving girl with an even bigger heart. She’s incredibly affectionate and thrives on being close to her people, always ready to share her time, attention, and plenty of cuddles. Aussie is deaf, but don’t let that fool you — she’s clearly intelligent, attentive, and eager to please. She watches her people closely and picks up on cues quickly, making her a wonderful candidate for continued training and bonding through hand signals and positive reinforcement. She does well with other dogs and all kinds of people, and once she chooses you, get ready for full-time love and devotion. Aussie is ready to be someone’s loyal, constant companion and fill her future home with affection every single day. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age-appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption.

Story

Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.
