Story
Imogen is a sweet senior girl with a gentle soul, a happy tail wag, and a heart full of love. Thought to be around 14 years old, she would love a warm, calm home to live her golden years. Though deaf and completely blind, Imogen has adapted beautifully after having her eyes removed due to uncontrolled glaucoma. She is much more comfortable and even has a little pep in her step.Imogen is quiet, rarely barks, likes to spend time with her favorite human, and is generally indifferent to other dogs. She is trustworthy when left alone and will often circle when she needs to go outside. A true homebody, Imogen is content spending her days napping, receiving gentle affection, and simply being part of the family. The most important thing to know about Imogen is that she is a loving, resilient senior who asks for very little - a soft place to rest, kind hands to pet her, soft canned food, and a loving home. If you`re looking for a calm, devoted companion, Imogen may be the perfect match.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dogs individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don`t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Falcor. ❤️ I’m not really sure how I ended up here, but I’m hoping my story has a much happier chapter ahead. I was hit by a car and a kind Good Samaritan saw what happened and rushed me to the ER. They took radiographs (nothing broken), got me started on pain medication, and then tried to find my family through my microchip. Unfortunately, the person contacted denied being my owner and said they didn’t want me anymore. So… just like that, I was discarded. I may not understand why someone could stop wanting me, but I’m trying not to let it change the kind of boy I am. I’m the sweetest little guy, and even though I’m still a little unsure of where I am and everything I’ve been through, I have this gentle soul that just wants to trust again. I’m really the sweetest boy. My tail will not stop wagging when I see you, and I love to be pet and cuddle up in your lap. I’m a Maltese mix, which means I’m considered hypoallergenic, but my beautiful coat does need regular brushing and professional grooming to keep me comfortable and looking my best.  I get along great with other dogs, of all sizes. I walk well on leash, and feel like I would do well around kids, considering my gentle demeanor. Because of me being hit by a car, my hip and back legs are getting stronger each day, but still may need some time to fully recover, until I can start jumping off couches and such.  I’m neutered, 4DX negative, current on my vaccines, and protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto. My adoption fee is $400. I’m currently in Texas, but I can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, or locations along the East Coast. Transport is an additional $250. Please note: We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 23, 2026, 12:41 pm
