Story
Agnes is a very pretty, rather petite Pitbull who had a terrible life before she was rescued and taken to Chicago Animal Control. Once joining BAARK Dog Rescue, her life changed for the better; she would never suffer any abuse or neglect again. Agnes had been seen for several weeks, living in a junkyard, finding shelter under a porch and among the junk. Every once in a while she got out of the fenced area to scavenge the neighborhood for food, only to have kids throw rocks and bottles at her and try to hurt her. She was scared, alone, and starving. It took a couple of caring, compassionate rescuers a couple of weeks to capture her. She was brought to Chicago Animal Control, still very scared and totally withdrawn. We are grateful we at BAARK learned of Agnes and have been able to help her overcome such past neglect, abuse, and fear, and she’s now ready to move along to her forever home. Agnes is estimated to be 6 years old. She weighs 39 lbs. An ideal home for Agnes is with a family having Pitbull breed experience, able to provide Agnes the attention, care, and compassion she deserves, without her having to share it with other canine family members. That is, she’d do best as an only dog. She is not good with cats. Agnes would love a nice, safe and secure back yard of her own. A solid, verifiable vet history for all current and past pets is required for all adopters of BAARK Dogs. Agnes is fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped as well as heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm preventative. If you are interested in adding Agnes to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895

Pete is the PERFECT dog. He is great with all dogs (male, female, puppy) in fact he is so laid back he has been getting bullied by more dominant males. He is the sweetest and most easy going boy. He is very gentle and calm. Pete is a short stocky boy, approximately 45lbs. He is prone to allergies, so he does need a special shampoo to help. If interested in adopting OR fostering Pete please check us out on FB or our website at tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org and fill out an application! Our best guess is he was born May ‘22

Story
Our sweet Sasha girl was rescued from life on a heavy chain hooked to a trash can that was her ONLY shelter. She was abused and almost bred to death. When Tails took her and her babies in she was barely hanging on, she was a skeleton and was so weak she could barely lift her head. After several medications, fluids and a miracle she made a full turn around and she has thanked us daily for rescuing her. Love just radiates from her eyes and she is SO gentle with people. She is very well mannered, leash and crate trained. She potty’s outside if shes on a schedule. Sasha would thrive in a calm home with children over the age of 12 as loud rambunctious kids may trigger her. If you’re interested in adopting OR fostering Sasha please find us on FB or our website at tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org and fill out an application!

This is an easy task with proper training and consistency though. He is a smart boy and would learn fast. If interested in adopting Norman the first step is to fill out our adoption application

Wobbles

Boxer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Wobbles is a sweet, 4-5 year old pup looking for a forever home of his own. We are not quite sure of his breed but believe he is a Boxer mix. He is currently about 42 lbs. Wobbles ended up at an area Animal Control when his dad became homeless and could no longer care for him. His story is heartbreaking and when he arrived at the pound, they had felt that euthanasia was in his best interest; no one would likely rescue or adopt him. We learned of Wobbles one morning last July, the day he was scheduled to be euthanized at noon. We decided he could not die when he hardly lived! And within literally minutes of being euthanized, we got him to safety. Wobbles had been injured shortly after birth when his mom bit him and severely injured his jaw. The injury went untreated and eventually new bone growth caused his jaw to become almost fully fused. According to info from Animal Control, Wobbles had been surviving on soup all these years. This is why Animal Control had given Wobbles just 24 hours to find rescue. Fast forward to Dec 2025-Wobbles is thriving and you’d never know he had such a dramatic jaw injury! Once within our care, we were able to assess Wobbles’ situation. We identified a skilled canine dentist at the U of Wisconsin Madison. Under her care, Wobbles underwent an extensive jaw reconstruction in October. The operation has been a complete success, Wobbles has completely recovered, and he has ZERO special needs. Wobbles is now ready to move along to his forever home and family. He’s an absolutely awesome dog! He is wonderful with other dogs (not with cats though!) and he loves people including kids who have been taught to be respectful of animals. And……everyone who has met him on his journey of recovery and re-homing, has absolutely fallen in love with him. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round prevention, neutered and microchipped. And just had a much-needed dental cleaning with extractions. If you are interested in adding this perfect pup to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 for more information. Wobbles is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago. We adopt local to the Chicago area.

Brucie

Boxer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Puppy
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Brucie is a very handsome, young boy looking for a forever home of his own. We believe he is a Boxer mix, sporting a very attractive brindle coat. We estimate Brucie’s date of birth at February 10, 2021. At the time of this posting he is just under two years old. He is about 60 lbs. Brucie loves people and is very affectionate. Given his size and energy level, he would not be an ideal canine companion for younger children. We expect children over the age of 12 would be ok. And of course, an all-adult home would be perfect for Brucie! Brucie is very active and energetic, and sometimes can get carried away with his play. He loves running in the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. He keeps himself entertained; he would not do well in a dog park or day care. An ideal home for Brucie is one in which he can thrive as an only dog, with a family experienced with larger dogs who sometimes can get out of hand. Brucie’s only “watch-out” is that he can be a bit of a resource guarder with his food and bones, but this issue can readily be managed as he gets to know his new family and as they learn more about him!! As is the case with all young, larger dogs, Brucie would greatly benefit from obedience training which can also be a bonding experience with his new family. No doubt, Brucie has the potential to evolve into the perfect pup, but is looking for that family willing to commit to him and provide him the forever home he deserves. Brucie is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered & microchipped and on year-round heartworm prevention. BAARK is located in the Chicago area; we adopt our dogs only local to the Chicago area. If you are interested in adding Brucie to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Alpine

Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Alpine is sure a unique-looking young boy; he is thought to possibly be a Bull Terrier Mix?? He’s estimated to be about 50 lbs. His estimated date of birth is June 5th 2023. Alpine is a typical young pup, very energetic and playful. He likes to jump and can sometimes forget himself and be a little too rough with other dogs. But….…he is young and needs to learn boundaries and manners in order to evolve into a wonder family member with a forever family he so deserves.. Alpine likes playing with other dogs; he’s great with dogs and would enjoy the companionship of another dog in the home. However because of his high energy level, he may be too much for another dog, and be happy as an only dog, with an active family and possibly older kids to keep him busy and active! An ideal family for Alpine is one able to assimilate the enthusiasm and playfulness of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Alpine to be the best version of himself! A secure fenced yard is required; another younger or middle-aged pup in the family could also be advantageous. But he’d be great as an only dog too!! Alpine is crate-trained and housebroken. He is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is neutered and microchipped. For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.
