My story

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

Hi! Rupert here! I'm a handsome, playful guy but have been through a lot and need some patience while I learn to trust my surroundings. I would thrive in a quiet, calm home with someone who has lots of patience because I will be quite timid for a while. I would do great with another dog in the home to show me the world isn't so scary. Because of my past, going for walks or car rides is pretty overwhelming at this point. My crate is my safe place and I keep it nice and clean. Even though I'm especially scared when people approach me, when I'm feeling safe, I love to have my head and ears scratched. I'm sure we will be friends in time and I will wag my bushy tail with excitement to see you if you allow me some patience as we get acquainted. Eventually I'd love to run around your yard and show you how I can play by throwing my own ball and chasing it! I'm staying in my foster home. To meet me please email info@tailshumanesociety.org or call 815-758-2457!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Here’s what to expect when you arrive at TAILS:

A staff member will ask you what sort of pet you are looking for and then will provide you with information about specific pets that appear to be a good fit for your family, taking into consideration such factors as: kids, level of activity, your pet experience, other animals currently in the home, etc. You will be encouraged to interact with the pet or pets of your choice in a private visiting room. We believe that bringing a new pet into your home is an important decision so you’ll have plenty of time to make your decision without feeling rushed. Staff and volunteers will be available throughout this time to answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve made your choice, an adoption counselor will review the adoption contract with you.

You’ll pay the adoption fee. Then you’ll take your new family member home with you!

An animal can be put on hold in person at the TAILS facility during regular adoption hours.

More about this shelter

Our mission: Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.

TAILS Humane Society is a limited admission animal shelter providing a safe haven for almost 2,400 animals each year. We are committed to providing each animal the time and medical care they need to have their best chance at adoption.

TAILS was established in 1999 by a group of local animal advocates dedicated to bringing a comprehensive animal shelter to DeKalb. We operated out of an old farmhouse until 2005 when we cut the ribbon on our Barber Greene facility. In 2009, we opened our low cost Spay/Neuter Clinic providing quality, affordable sterilization services to the public. We continue to grow and strengthen our programs and service as we continue to save lives.
