My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jenny is sweet 6 year old girl who wants to be your Velcro dog. She was a family dog that met abuse by the men in the household and caused her to be taken into animal control unable to use her rear legs. We brought her into our rescue and using conservative treatment were able to get her mobile again. She relapsed a second time and has remained stable but it is possible it could happen again and so she is considered special needs. Should she relapse she will need physical therapy and water therapy. Her adopter has to be willing to provide that care for her or please don't apply.

Jenny holds no ill will against anyone. She is always smiling, wagging her tail and happy for some belly rubs. She loves to run and play with other nice similar sized respectful dogs. Her gait is a bit wobby but that doesn't matter to Jenny. Jenny will need to be taken out more frequently to prevent any dribbling which is a remnant of her paralysis. While that might be a little more work, her love and loyalty will over ride a little extra effort for her care.

We would lilke Jenny's adopter to maintain annual visits with her current chiropractor to prevent recurrence. That being said we can only adopt in the local Chicago metor area. We do require home visits and completed approved applications before any meet and greets. If you would like to contact us please do so through this site or you can email us at RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. We are all volunteers and will try to get back to you in 24 hours or less.
