Story
Shorty is a happy and friendly guy. He was surrendered to a local open intake animal control when his family was moving out of country and sadly couldn't bring him with. Shorty came very matted but has been nothing been sweet throughout all of the clean up and grooming required to get him feeling comfortable again. He does have some typical old man issues- arthritis and a cloudy eye, but overall he's in good health for a senior pup. He is dog friendly, kid friendly, and cats should be fine also. He does not get on furniture and enjoys a nice soft bed. His labs were great and he is scheduled to have his dental done on 12/23, and then he'll be ready to live out his golden years with a loving family.

Story
Name: Roy Gender: Male Breed: Shih tzu mix Weight: 10lbs Age: 8 Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: Yes Kid Friendly: Yes Neutered: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Heartworm: Negative Home Requirement: Single family. No duplex or apartment. He’s loud. Crate Trained: Will bark but will settle. Potty Trained: As long as he gets to go out regularly and consistently, he does well. Location: Roy is being fostered in Elburn, IL. No out of state applicants please. Roy is a little guy with a larger than life personality. It takes him a bit to warm up to people so his intros to new people usually consist of a lot of barking. If he’s given some space, he comes around to bring your friend pretty quickly. He’s a happy, funny guy, and his foster family enjoys him. He does get “nippy” when he’s overexcited. He needs all your attention, and he’s not afraid to let you know. If you’re interested in meeting Roy, please fill out an app at the link below. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog

Story
Alumni Super Sweet Senior, Mickey Seeking A Forever Home! Poor Mickey! Through no fault of his own he has had at least 4 homes! We found him in 2016 at a community free access shelter at the height of the canine flu! Not only was that a strike against bim but he had broken toes and was next in line to the euth room. We got him our in the nick of time. We covered his medical care. He improved, and healed and landed a lovely new Mom. Sadly Coved him and his mom passed. The family sent Mickey to live with a family friend that adored him. Sadly, his new Mom fell ill and needed to relinquish him to us. No Micky is on the hunt for a forever family that won't let him down. Mickey is a very gentle boy that loves everyone. He is pretty quiet, happy to take long naps in between wandering around the yard, sitting on a deck or taking a walk. He is also happy to nap with you and the family cat! He is quiet and always hoping yummy food might drop his way. He gets along with everyone. He was pee pad trained which might be helpful. We estimate he is 14ish.. He is a healthy fella although has had some allergy issues in the past and recovered IVDD. Mickey is fully vetted, He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative, His adoption donation is $450.00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family, Little Dogs can live to be 25 years old so he wants to be sure al for better or for worse! We adopt in the local Chicago metro area.

Story
Grace is a sweet dog who will make a good companion. Grace came to us via animal control. She had been left in a box and found in the alley on a hot summer day. Grace was matted, emaciated and in rough shape. When we brought her in from animal control she was unable to walk. As it turned out, her inability to walk was not due to physical impairment but from plain weakness, hunger and condition. She had been nearly starved to death and left to die like trash in the alley, We spent the next couple of months getting her weight stable and body condition back to normal. Because she had been starved she did guard her food. That has disappeared but to be safe we do not want to place her with young children, Grace enjoys other dogs to play with and is fine with cats. Grace loves to be outside in the yard. She thinks she is the protector of her domain and is a bit of a barker when people pass her view at the gate or down the alley. She can be stubborn and not come in when called. She will benefit from dog training. Like all dogs , she will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs —not only to give Grace important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Grace 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. She is on the hunt for her own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Grace 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 Grace, please fill out an application for her 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 group. We are not a brick and mortart. 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 Grace , please consider a donation for her food, housing, and veterinary care.
