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.

Story
Casper is a small, playful puppy with the softest heart. When he first arrived, the world felt very big and scary to him. He spent his first days shaking quietly in a corner, unsure if it was safe to be seen, touched, or loved. Eye contact felt like too much, and approaching him was out of the question.  Within just a few days, Casper began to peek out of his crate, cautiously exploring his new surroundings. Once he realized he was finally safe, his true personality bloomed. Casper loves affection. He soaks up pets, happily plays with toys, and gives endless kisses to anyone willing to receive them. Despite being a puppy, he has a surprisingly calm nature and is perfectly content curling up for nap-time after a little play. He’s the kind of pup who brings both joy and peace into a home. He loves to play with other dogs and would enjoy having a furry sibling. Casper is crate trained and doing well with potty training — he goes outside most of the time, but he’s still learning and will need a patient, understanding adopter as he continues to grow. He’s also just beginning his leash journey, so gentle guidance and encouragement will go a long way. Casper has already shown how resilient and loving he can be once he feels safe. With a little patience and a lot of love, he will reward his forever family with loyalty, cuddles, and a heart full of gratitude.   Fill out an adoption application to schedule your own private meet and greet with this furry friend.
