Story
Never fear, Ghost is a friendy fantom! His brilliant, flowing coat is the shade of a phantom, stark and bright against any background. He might `haunt` the kitchen during meal prep, a silent, hopeful spirit waiting for a dropped treat, or `possess` a sunbeam on the carpet for an afternoon nap. His playful antics give him a mischievous air— a friendly little specter who will steal your heart and lift your spirits. Call Helping Paws to meet Ghost and have a fa-boo-lous day!D.O.B: 10-30-24

Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
Peppermint Bark is a gentle, sweet soul who is ready for a fresh start and a family who will cherish her the way she deserves. She would do wonderfully in an apartment or a house, thanks to her calm, easygoing personality. While she’s generally relaxed, she absolutely lights up when people come through the door and loves greeting her humans with happy enthusiasm. She’s incredibly affectionate, loving, and people-focused. Peppermint Bark adores her people, appreciates the comfort of her crate, and never misses a meal — food is definitely one of her love languages. Despite being left behind in an apartment when her family moved, she remains trusting, kind, and full of love to give. She gets along well with other dogs and kids. Peppermint Bark does have a few mammary tumors, which are scheduled to be removed in January at the time of her spay. She’ll be well cared for and ready to continue her journey toward a happy, healthy life. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will love you with her whole heart, Peppermint Bark may be the perfect match.   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. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new dogs!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2610072##

Story
Imogen is a gentle little soul who seems to float through life on quiet paws. At 12 years young, this sweet Shih Tzu has perfected the art of calm companionship—she’s soft, serene, and radiates an almost angelic peace wherever she rests. If you’re looking for a dog who brings tranquility and warmth into your home, Imogen is your girl.Imogen is wonderfully easygoing and happy just being near her people. She adores lap time, gentle scratches, and loving attention when she’s awake, though she’s equally content spending much of her day napping sweetly in her cozy bed. She never barks, has no bad habits, and is beautifully well-behaved when left alone—no crate required.This precious girl is blind and hard of hearing, which only adds to her peaceful nature. She doesn’t need commands to thrive—just routine, patience, and love. Imogen does best on the lower level of the home and prefers to avoid stairs, snow, mud, and other tricky surfaces. She enjoys being outside when the weather is kind, especially if there’s a clear, shoveled path for her to stroll.Imogen is indifferent to other dogs, unfazed by the world around her, and simply asks for a soft place to land and a gentle human to love. She’s an old soul with a heart full of quiet devotion—ready to be someone’s little guardian angel at home.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Please rad entire bio, Thank you. Jasper is very shy, we are doing our best to have him get better at handling him. We would like someone that has the time and experience to get him more confident. He loves other dogs, just jumps for joy to play with them. We would like to find him a home with at least another dog in the home, that will be a tremendous help. He has toes missing on one of his back paws, we were told that the mom bit them off at birth. He still has the pad and walk fine. Jasper could be a foster to adopt to the right family. Or just fostering would be ok. He is completely vetted. Also we would prefer a home with no small children. Teenagers would be ok. Please email if you are interested at helpapoochrescue@gmail.com
