Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is what Tommy’s foster had to say about this lovely boy: “Tommy may have some white hairs, but his heart is pure gold and he’s got a new lease on life! He may move a little slower thanks to a leg injury, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying the simple pleasures—a soft spot on the couch and all the cuddles you can give him. He needs a lift getting up and down, but he’s 100% worth it 🩵 Tommy is the perfect house guest—no accidents, great with routines, and totally chill indoors. But be warned: if there’s a cat litter box in sight, he’ll be in it if you aren’t watching 😅You’ll only hear a bark when he needs to go out earlier than his regularly scheduled potty break. He’s not a fan of stairs, but we’ve got him set up with a ramp, and he’s doing great with it. He loves a car ride, but needs help getting in and out. When it comes to food, Tommy’s a bit of a picky piggy 🐷 Purina Pro Plan beef & rice dry food paired with beef & veggies wet food is his go-to. It’s easy to sneak his daily pill (for his leg pain) into his food. He's friendly with other dogs and cats and is the perfect companion for anyone looking for an easy-going, lovable dog. While he’s not always in the mood for playtime, he does still get zoomies, like to play with his mini tennis ball, and enjoys a good sniff around outside. Tommy is a little stubborn but so full of love. After everything he’s been through, he deserves the very best. If you’re looking for a loving, laid-back buddy, Tommy might just be the perfect match for you!”

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sam is a sweet pug looking for an experienced patient family that speaks 'dog'. Sam is a breeder release from a commercial facility. He hasn't had the benefit a dog his age might have who was born in a home. That being said, while he is scared and timid, once he feels safe he is longing to bond with a family. He will likely always be timid. He needs family who will help him slowly decompress and adjust in his own time. Sam s a friendly gentle guy He needs a fenced in yard for his potty place. He doesn't understand leash walking. Pugs tend to be Velcro dogs. They want to be close to a human, Sam is friendly, wags his tail and then retreats, He wants to be cared for, He needs to relax enough to know he can move forward without fear, He needs a patient adopter without expectations he will change but will give him the time to allow him to if he chooses, Like all dogs, he will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs, not only to give Sam important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Sam is fully vetted. She has been neutered, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of his adopter. His adoption fee is $800..00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Sam wants to be sure his family is all in for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 12 MONTHS): You must have a flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you. We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits. If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate for Sam, please fill out an application for his adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption. The first step in the process is to complete an application. We are all volunteers with full-time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. We are an in home foster volunteer group. We are not a brick and mortar, There is no building to come and view dogs. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at: RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. If you aren’t looking to adopt but still would like to help Sam , please consider a donation for her food, housing, and veterinary care.

Story

Hi! My name is Riley! My brother (Winston) and I were found running the streets of Universal City. We are approximately a year old. I am the little brother. We were both really scared. We have been with our foster mommy for a couple days now. I am gradually coming out of my shell. I will come over to foster momma and want to be picked up and petted, sometimes I make it a game and will play shy, but then give in and let her pick me up to relax in her lap. Sometimes I even jump up in her lap and demand attention! If I do not get it, I will swat at her with my paw until she pays attention to me! I love toys and playing with my brother. I also have foster brothers and sisters that are my size and bigger than me. I am working on potty training. I am a very fast learner. I should master that very quickly! I like to explore the backyard. I am still a puppy with lots of puppy energy. I am kennel trained. Foster momma says I have the cutest underbite. I love to run and play, when I am done, I like to either lay down on the couch next to momma or even go and lay in my bed wherever that may be. Momma placed my bed while she was cleaning my kennel and that did not stop me from getting into my bed. I climbed on top of the kennel and decided to take a power nap! Local adoption fee in Texas is $350 Out of state adoption fee with transport and fuel surcharge is $650.

Hi! My name is Winston! My brother (Riley) and I were found running the streets of Universal City. We are approximately a year old. I am the big brother. We were both really scared. We have been with our foster mommy for a couple of days now. I am gradually coming out of my shell. I am still a little timid. I will come over and want pets and get up in your lap, but I'm not quite ready yet. But that will not stop me from nipping at your toes!!! I do it playfully to get your attention. Remember, I am still a puppy with a lot of puppy energy and puppy traits!! So, please be patient with me. I love toys!!! I will take out all of the toys out of the toy box until I find the perfect toy!!! I like to make it snow as well!! Did you know it can snow in your living room? Let me demonstrate for you. I love to play with my brother and foster siblings. One of my favorite games is chase. I am also a talker!!! We both have the cutest underbite!!! Local adoption fee in Texas is $350 Out of state adoption fee with transport and fuel surcharge is $650.
