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
Willow is an elegant sweetheart whose shiny black coat turns heads everywhere she goes. Don’t let her size fool you — this girl is truly a gentle giant who seems to think she’s a lap dog at heart. She’s the perfect blend of sweetness, silliness, and snuggles, wrapped up in one big, lovable package. After being neglected and underfed, Willow is finally getting the love she deserves, and she’s blossoming beautifully. Now she’s ready for a family who will make her feel like she truly belongs — a home where she can follow her people like the loyal shadow she is and soak up all the affection she missed out on. Willow’s ideal day includes lounging on a big, comfy bed, playing with her stuffed toys, and savoring peanut butter or beef bones (her absolute favorites!). She’s happy, relaxed, and loves being wherever her people are. She enjoys playtime, too — toys are her love language! She does well with other dogs, is very curious about cats, and we’re still learning how she does with children. What we do know is that she has a gentle spirit and so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a silly streak, Willow might just be the perfect girl for you. Willow is ready to meet her forever family — could it be yours? Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Esther

Great Dane Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos
Northbrook, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
From the foster! “Esther is a playful, loving dog with a big personality. She adores being petted and enjoys playing with other dogs. She’s very food-motivated, and as soon as she sees a treat, she happily runs straight into her crate—her favorite cozy spot to relax or nap, even with the door open. She’s still working on her potty training, but she’s improving steadily now that she’s in a consistent routine. Esther would thrive in a home with adults or older children. She can get overly excited around younger kids and may try to chase them during play. She’ll also give a few alert barks when someone comes to the door, but otherwise she’s a quiet girl. Overall, Esther is a sweet, affectionate companion who’s ready for a loving home that understands her playful spirit and ongoing training needs.”

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
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.

Story
Venus is an adorable, Great Dane mix who weighs about 109 lbs. She can be a little shy and timid at first, but once you give her a few treats, she is sweet and affectionate. She knows basic commands like `sit`, `down`, `paw`, `leave-it`, `watch` and more! She is potty-trained and crate trained. She is considered a medium energy dog, who is food motivated and very bright because she is picking up training fast! She would do best in a house without other pets. She is a sensitive girl who is working hard on her dog reactivity training during walks! She is a good dog who will stare into your eyes lovingly and give little kisses. She is also a good office companion while her foster mom works from home!
