Story
Playful Pickles came to Mutts of the Midway in October and is 4 years old. Like his name, Pickles is a playful guy who has gotten along well with the cats in his home. He would do great in a home with other furry friends, especially ones that want to wrestle with him. Although playful, he does love his naps with his cute little snores. He's a talkative guy who loves his food. He does great on the leash and gets an A+ in housetraining. Quick stats! --Dogs: does well with dogs --Cats: does well with cats --Children: does well with children in the home --Likes: being active & playing with his foster siblings, naps, and food If Pickles sounds like the right fit for your home, fill out an adoption application today! muttsofthemidway.org/adopt

Story
Bing is being fostered in PA, Bing is both blind and deaf. Bing is a blind and deaf little girl who was born on January 25, 2025. She is most likely a pug mix but we are not sure. A special adopter will be needed in order to help this bit of a wild child, as she needs to use touch, smell and taste to hear and explore her surroundings, people and other animals. At this time, it makes her wiggly and playfully nippy (and the nips can hurt) to hold until her excitement calms. This behavior will pass as she is helped by a patient family, she matures and becomes more familiar with how to appropriately get to know her surroundings. Aside from her overly excited behavior when around new people and things, she is a typical adorable puppy who loves to play, eat and sleep. Bing should not be in a home with very young children because of her tendency to mouth as she investigates her world. Bing will also need a very patient fur sibling because she is overly playful with other dogs and cannot hear their warnings to "back off". So far she has been indifferent with cats but the two in her foster home keep their distance at this time. She may be able to see light and dark and seems to be completely deaf. She will be having one of her eyes removed on May 23rd. After about 2 weeks recovery time, she will be all ready for adoption. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Crosby is being fostered in PA. Crosby is an adorable, blind, male puppy who was born on January 25, 2025. He is a pug and may be a mix but we are not sure. He is a sweet but mischievous, curious little guy who loves to play hard, eat and nap hard. Crosby enjoys the other dogs in his foster home but is a bit much with them so he does not get to spend a lot of time with them just yet. He gets overly excited when getting attention from people and when other dogs are close by and can be playfully nippy, untying shoes and clinging onto pant legs with his teeth. After a few minutes and redirecting his puppy nips, he will calm down to simply sit beside his person. Crosby can go up stairs very well but has no idea about how to come back down just yet. Crosby should not be in a home with very young children, as his puppy play still needs to be redirected to nipping on toys and not hands, hair, etc. Crosby will be having his right eye removed on May 23rd and will be ready to find his adoptive home as soon as he recovers from that surgery. Crosby will need work on potty training but currently does well traveling in a crate and has never soiled in it so this is a good start to his training. Crosby will need a patient family to help him learn proper play skills and to help him with potty training. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Meet Sara – Your Sweet, Loving, and Cuddle-Loving Chi-Pug! Sara is a Chihuahua-Pug mix with a sweet and affectionate personality. She loves people and adores cuddling up with her humans. Her gentle energy and loving nature make her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and snuggly friend. Like all puppies, she will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all puppies—not only to give Sara valuable learning skills, but because you and your puppy will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Sara is fully vetted. She has been spayed, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of her adopter. Her adoption donation is $600.00. Sara is on the hunt for her own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so she wants to be sure her family is all in for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 9 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 Sara, please fill out an application for her adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption We are all volunteers with full-time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. 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 Sara, please consider a donation for her food, housing, and veterinary care.
