Story
COURTESY POST FOR HOPEFUL TAILS DOG RESCUE Mabel originally lived with her mom and siblings in a home, in Portugal, but when her person moved into an apartment, he left all of the dogs at a shelter. At 8 years old, she had little future in there, so arrangements were made to get her to Canada, along with her sister Olive, where we knew a home could be found for her. She has quickly made herself comfortable in her rural foster home with her sister and two foster siblings. What we know about Mabel thus far is that she is the perfect size, at 25 lbs, great with other dogs, cats as well and good in the car. She is very gentle, sweet and so easy to love. Mabel is the social butterfly of the two and Olive is the quiet, watchful one. Although they did not show the typical signs of a bonded pair, when we did a trial separation, Olive didn't do well, so we are now looking for a home where both dogs would be welcome. They are similar in size and while Olive is shy and reserved, Mabel is the Walmart greeter, eager to meet and play with every dog, as well as greeting every person who crosses her path. In fact they compliment each other. They are easy quiet dogs and if you are looking for good companionship, this is the pair to consider. UPDATE: As typical in rescue dogs, at the three week mark, their personalities have emerged and Olive and Mabel are embracing the snow, much more playful and such a great pair. Their preference is a home with a yard, and people home more than not. They would be a great addition for a moderately active senior or anyone wanting great canine companionship. This pair is currently being fostered in Erin, Ontario. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS BONDED PAIR, PLEASE EMAIL info@hopefultailsdogrescue.com

COURTESY POST FOR HOPEFUL TAILS DOG RESCUE Olive originally lived with her mom and siblings in a home, in Portugal, but when her person moved into an apartment, he left all of the dogs at a shelter. At 8 years old and being black, she had no future in there, so arrangements were made to get her to Canada, along with her sister Mabel, where we knew a home could be found. She has quickly made herself comfortable in her rural foster home with her sister and two foster siblings. What we know about Olive thus far is that she is the perfect size, at 30 lbs, great with other dogs, cats as well and good in the car. She is very gentle, sweet and so easy to love. Initially shy, but with so many changes this last week, it is to be expected. Although they did not show the typical signs of a bonded pair, when we did a trial separation, Olive didn't do well, so we are now looking for a home where both dogs would be welcome.

Story
Currently fostered in Texas Please read complete bio. Granny Dixie . We all LOVE this dog because she is certainly quirky and makes us smile. She is apx 10 -12 years old and apx 14 pounds. Granny Dixie is from a high kill shelter here in our town of Pleasanton. She was in rough shape when we got her, but it is very clear that once upon a time someone really loved this dog. She was already spayed and has clearly already had dental work done in the past. She has good potty manners and walks on leash. She LOVES walks. She does have scarring around her neck conducive of being either tied up outside or wearing a collar for too long that was way too tight. She is a bit thin, low muscle mass but already showing improved body composition. She has a good appetite. Her coat was disgustingly dirty and fried from the Texas Sun, she had clearly been outdoors for a while. Her coat is getting softer. She has your typical arthritis in her rear legs but she does not seem in pain. We have never heard Dixie make a sound, never a bark or a whimper or a fuss. She is the most laid back easy peasy dog you could ever ask for. She likes attention but is not needy. She is not a huge fan of being “coddled”. She loves people and loves attention and Baby talk and to be doing whatever it is you’re doing she will follow you everywhere, but she is not really one that adores being picked up or squeezed or her face being kissed all over. She is not a mushy dog lover dog. She does love people though. She is happy being near you she loves when you walk through the door and she does little happy dances. She has a lot of personality in her own way and truly is a southern grandma type . She checks on the other dogs . She will let any dog lay with her . She is just so go with the flow of the day zero anxiety. She would love a low key home without a lot of chaos but I am sure she would be fine with visits from young family members . ***Granny Dixie has some medical we would like to tell you about. She has what are called dermal hemangiomas. A dermal hemangioma is a common, benign (non-cancerous) growth of extra blood vessels in the skin, often appearing as a red or purple "strawberry mark," The vet stated these are mostly non cancerous but the only way to know for sure would be to cut them and biopsy them. Considering her age and the fact that she does not need to go under anesthesia for a spay or dental, we find the risk is worse than the reward in this outcome and do not feel the need to put her under anesthesia to get these biopsied. At her age, even if these were cancerous there is very little anyone would be able to do about it at this point. Pics in comments.

Story
Currently fostered in Texas Shadow is apx 1.5 year young and apx18 pounds. He was found running down a street and had a collar on with a phone number. We called and txt the number . After about an hour the “owner” replied stating they were on vacation and apparently left the dog in the back yard with food and water. I asked if they were going to come back to get them and then they blocked me so the answer to that is NO. Poor Shadow. He deserves so much better!! Shadow is a nervous boy for a minute while meeting new people and being in new places but a little baby talk and he is settles in and as soon as you give him pets and kisses, he is now your new bff. He is actually very social and friendly and silly, just weary of strangers for a moment. Who can blame him. Safe to say he was not treated well by his gem of an owner. He has a fluffy tail and a medium length soft coat, he loves to play and is a happy dog but also loves cuddles and is an excellent mix of both playful and chill. He loves all animals and although we don’t have children to test him with I think he would be great with kids. He walks on leash. He keeps his kennel clean but is not 100% potty trained however holds it all night in his kennel Run. He will need a belly band in the house until he gets fully potty trained but he is so people pleasy, I can’t imagine that taking very long.

Story
Please read bio carefully. Looking for an experienced adopter or foster. Joy is 21 pounds and 10 months old. We are assuming Chi/Pug mix of some sort. She is a short hefty gal. Joy has hydrocephalus. We are looking for a special needs adopter for her. Preferably someone whom has had hydro dogs before and are familiar with their needs. Joy was born hydrocephalic. Hers is pretty severe however , she is very loving, gets along with other dogs, is very quiet, never makes a peep, really likes attention and affection. She does not spin in circles or have seizures. She has no major neuro issues aside from the typical depth perception of neuro dogs. She even rides well in a car. Joy is a really great dog deserving of a wonderful home. She will bring a lot of joy and love to your home. As hydro dogs do. This week she is even learning the doggy door and using it 50% of the time to potty in her dog yard but like most hydro babies, she is a slow learner. She needs a lot of love and patience . We really prefer an adopter with special needs experience. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given. To get approved please visit our website www.texaschihuahuarescuecanada.org to fill in an application to adopt.
