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
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
Offering Foster to Adopt: ☆Jack☆ Born October 17th, 2020 (he's 5 years old) Mixed breeds of Maltese, Shitzu, Schnauzer, Yorkie Weighs 14 lbs. Seen at Kenosha Lake Shore Veterinary Clinic Jack is housebroken, well potty trained, but is crate trained for when left home alone, or at least confined to one room. He is leashed every time when taken outside to go potty. He is not accustomed to a fenced in yard so he is not let off leash outside at all, but he would probably LOVE to have free reign in a fenced in yard. Jack loves the outdoors. Jack has been good with other dogs, he has NOT been around cats so I'm unsure of his temperament with cats. Jack has been raised around kids, but does get anxious around a lot of noise. He may benefit from being in a home with older children rather than young children. Jack likes car rides, attention, belly rubs, walks, naps, food, and exploring. He is a natural born scavenger and will eat strange things if he's able, so keep garbage, kleenex, and q-tips out of reach from this silly little furball! Jack does NOT like toy guns (nerf, or any such likeness), being touched while he is eating, getting his nails cut, too much loud noise (he barks at our vacuum). Jack does not like sleeping in his own bed, he prefers to sleep in your bed if you allow it, or possibly a couch or comfy chair. Located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Adoption Application and Foster Agreement can be completed at www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org if interested in Jack. Questions please contact Vicki at (262) 496-9324. Adoption Fee $550.

Story
Meet Violet. Violet is a 4 year old (5 in Oct.) Maltese. She spent her first 4 years being used for breeding, and was recently released to Tiny Paws to start her new life. My dogs are showing her the ropes, and she is adjusting to life indoors very well. She uses a potty pad, if needed, but has been very good about going outside with the other dogs. Only has 💩 accidents, overnight. But still on the pad (or at least mostly). The first night home, she stayed in one spot, near the door, on the cold, hard floor. The second night, I took her to bed with me, and now she stays there most of the time. She learned quickly, a soft bed is way better than the floor. 🥰🐾 I believe she would do best with adults only. She may be okay with older kids, but loud noises and quick movements make her nervous. She’s learning that hands are meant for pets, not pain, and she loves it when you scratch her head behind her ears. Violet will require a fenced yard, and someone who is patient enough to allow her to blossom. I believe she would do best with another dog in the home, to help teach her how to be a normal dog. (Not a mill dog) She’s come a long way in just a few days, and I think she will settle into her new life just fine. She’s very sweet. Located in Union Grove, WI with Heather nanashome71@gmail.com.

Story
Ebony and Ivory are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together.Ebony (14 lbs.) and Ivory (8 lbs.) were local strays. They were in terrible shape when found and horribly matted. Now that these sweet girls are safe with AHF, they`re looking and feeling so much better. Ivory loves to cuddle, and Ebony is more playful but loves cuddling too. They`re both very loving. We think Ivory is a maltese mix and Ebony may be a schnauzer/shih tzu mix. Both girls walk on leash. They do not get crated when their foster leaves the house and do fine confined to a large room. They get along with the other dogs in their foster home and have been friendly with kids they`ve met at adoption events. Ebony seems potty trained and Ivory is mostly; she`ll sometimes use potty pads if they`re out for other pups.If you have room in your heart and home for Ebony and Ivory, please fill out an application so you can meet them and learn more. Ivory`s Adoption fee is $140Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
