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 spayed, cheerful girl with a sweet spirit and a happy outlook on life. Despite having a very difficult past—she was heartbreakingly left behind when her previous owners moved, with severely overgrown fur and mammary tumors—Peppermint Bark has remained loving, gentle, and full of joy. She is now receiving the care and love she deserves and is ready for a forever home of her own. She is potty trained and also comfortable using potty pads indoors, crate trained, listens well on a leash, and does well with other dogs. Peppermint Bark’s happiness is contagious—she expresses it with adorable “happy dances” on her back legs, big joyful stretches while lounging, playful air nips with clicking teeth, and a tail that spins like a little helicopter. Peppermint Bark enjoys food, relaxing on the couch (not sleeping—just quietly observing), being near her people without needing to be on top of them, and going for long outdoor walks when the weather is mild. She isn’t very interested in toys or playtime and prefers a calmer, more relaxed lifestyle. Her ideal home would be with people who enjoy companionship but also appreciate an independent dog who is content to explore, relax, and spend time looking out the window. She loves humans but is not a Velcro dog—just a happy, well-balanced companion. Because of her breed, Peppermint Bark will need a family committed to regular grooming to keep her comfortable and healthy. With her cheerful personality, gentle independence, and sweet presence, she is ready to settle into a forever home where she can continue to thrive.   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.

Story
Anna is a happy, active Maltese with a big personality packed into a little body! She absolutely adores people and is wonderful with kids and other dogs, making her a fantastic fit for a social, loving home. This sweet girl loves to play—especially with her soft toys—and would thrive in a moderately active home where she can enjoy time outdoors and stay engaged. Whether it’s playtime, adventures, or cuddles, Anna is always ready to be part of the fun. One thing to know about Anna: she does have a bay-style howl, so she’s not shy about using her voice when she’s excited or wants to join the conversation! If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving pup with lots of charm and character, Anna may be your 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.
