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 Bonnie is 7-8 years old and 8.2 pounds Bonnie is such a sweet and gentle girl, a bit of a nervous nellie at first but bonds quickly with her people. Is good with other dogs , cats and well mannered calm children , preferably middle school age and up. She is good at doing potty on the wee pads if she is not able to go outside. She walks on leash and harness but may be nervous at first with new people, places and maybe keeping her indoors the first few days to decompress is best. She is a doll, a 110% lap baby. A bit if a picky eater. Loves cheese, hot dogs and chicken but dog food is a hit and miss. Her human mama passed away and she came to the rescue. She has lived a quiet gentle life thus far. Bonnie is her original name, we also call her bon bon . It would be nice if she could keep it. She is a gentle soul and we are looking for another gentle gentle soul to be her pawrent Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
Currently fostered in Texas Butch aka Butchy aka Toby lol Butch is 4-5 years old and 16 pounds. His name is Butch, that is the name he came with however, for some reason, he really looks like a Toby to me and I always accidentally call him Toby or Toby Tobe , so now he knows both 😂 Butch’s mom had to be put in hospice care and he came to the rescue . He was an obese 20 pounds when he came here but now is down to 16.5 , 13-15 would be a good weight for him. Butch is scared of everything. He is afraid of his own shadow. He was terrified when he first got here but never aggressive. You can pick him up but he does not ask for it nor does he ask for attention or bid for your love. He hides most days under a shelf on a bed we made him and he lets you pet him but he just freezes when you do, although recently when I pet him he is at-least less stiff and maybe in 2-3 more weeks he will actually pretend to enjoy it . Poor Butch had a sheltered life and was under socialized, but that was the only life he knew, so coming here he was very shut down. But recently, when we’re not watching him and we spy on him through the window, he does lay with the other dogs and kind of prances around and seems pretty relaxed. He likes to go outside, but does not really want to be out there with you. He basically acts like a feral dog, but never shows any sign of aggression and he is very much like having a cat. He will use the pee pads or go outside. He MUST have a fenced yard. He does not understand walking on a leash. He also does not actually run from you. He will just sit there and freeze and let you pick him up but sometimes he will nervous pee if he does not know the person picking him up. It took him about two weeks with me to stop peeing on me, but he did, thankfully. He never barks or fusses or whines or cries. We have never heard a peep from him. He will tolerate baths and nails and ears but does not enjoy it, again he just freezes terrified. He sun bathes with his friends when it is warm. He sleeps a lot. He is a cat dog. But I do think once he is in a home and gets used to that new home with his new people, he will relax a lot, and will be a loving part of the family. It is just going to take a lot of time and patience. He has beautiful eyes and a beautiful rare chocolate Merle coat. He needs a patient and loving adopter that will just give him the time he needs to grieve, acclimate, and adjust. Gentle hands and soft voices. He is great with all other animals and he has never met kids but I think would be fine with older kids, he has zero aggression, but would be terrified of a toddler. He just needs time. I believe in him and I hope someone else out there will too. 💜 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Ginger is apx 8-10 years young , 10 pounds, and does not act like a senior dog. She does love her cuddles, blankets and nap time, but she has a lot of life in her and is full of love and curiosity. She loves being outside and following the humans around while they do their daily chores. Great with all animals and people and well mannered gentle children. Ginger is a cutie pie. She is really well mannered and has a good demeanor. She acclimates quickly to a new routine and new people. Ginger is her original name . Her human papa passed away and Ginger came to us. She is looking for her new family that help her heal and return to a loving family home that adores her . She did have a dental and lost a few teeth but still has plenty of cleaned pearly whites and fresh breath now 🙂 She is still learning leash and harness walking and is a little nervous trying this. She appears to have good potty manners and goes outdoors or on a wee pad Apply www.texaschihuahua.org Please read our Q&A on our we site for basic adoption questions
