Story
Meet Mitchie, a distinguished gentleman with a heart as big as his paws. This handsome 8-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix is the picture of calm and class—graceful, loyal, and full of quiet charm. Mitchie’s former family loved him dearly but could no longer care for him, so he’s now looking for a new home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. He’s past the puppy stage but still enjoys leisurely walks, cozy naps in sunny spots, and gentle affection from his favorite humans. Mitchie’s soulful eyes tell a story of devotion and kindness, and he’ll make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a loyal, easygoing friend. If you’re looking for a dignified, loving dog to fill your home with warmth, Mitchie might just be the perfect match.THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

Story
Hunny and Bunny recently found themselves at CACC after being surrendered due to housing issues, and now they’re searching for their forever home together. These two are as bonded as bonded comes—they truly thrive with each other by their side. ✨ About Hunny: The social butterfly of the pair, Hunny loves to give kisses, sit in laps, and seek out attention from her humans. She even cuddles her sister and sometimes likes to perch right on top of her, just to be close. Hunny’s affectionate, silly personality helps her sister feel safe. ✨ About Bunny: Bunny is the quieter, more reserved sister. She needs time to decompress and can be shy at first, but with Hunny by her side, she blossoms. She’s already learning that humans aren’t so scary, and her gentle spirit is beginning to shine through. These girls are a perfect match for a patient family willing to welcome them both. Hunny and Bunny will reward that love with endless snuggles, sisterly antics, and the heartwarming bond only a true pair can bring. If you’ve got room for two, Hunny and Bunny are ready to fill your home with double the love. 💕

Hi! If your heart and home have room for a loving fur baby, please consider our foster Hunny — a 1½-year-old, 50-lb Rhodesian Ridgeback/Shepherd mix. Hunny is a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl who loves giving hugs and kisses. She’s great with both dogs and kids, and she’s incredibly smart, gentle, and eager to please. She recently joined the Halloween Pet Parade, where she met lots of new people and dogs — handling the crowd beautifully with her calm, friendly nature. This wonderful girl truly deserves a loving forever home where she can share all her joy and affection. 💕 📞 Contact Border Tails Rescue at 847-813-5774 or adopt@bordertailsrescue.org to learn more.
