Story
Meet Bear! Bear came to us from the Red Door Pound with some PTSD issues. He had been shot in the hip and whether he was a stray or had an owner, no one got him medical treatment. It has heeled, but he tends to limp on the back leg where he was shot. You would never know it by how well he gets around. He runs like the wind. Since that happened to him however, it does make him timid around some people. He cowers in fear of thunder, fireworks, loud noises and loud vehicles. He has done really wonderfully with our trainer and has broadened his social network greatly. He needs a home with a lot of patience and understanding. Your reward is..the most loving, faithful, full of kisses handsome young man. Bear is going on 3 years and we do not know if he has ever known the comfort of a home. Boy would he love that! He has met older kids and they do not seem to intimidate him. Young children we would have to say no too. He does get along good with other dogs the majority of time and has been on pack walks and done great. He is a very good walker. If you have that special place in your heart to help a kindred soul find his comfy life with a home we would love for you to meet him. You can call 815-626-2994 for more information or to set up a meet and greet.

Hi Friends! My name is M-i-s-s-i-pp-i! I think this fun name fits my sparkling fun personality perfectly! I am a young lass that was dumped off by my family at the animal control! I quickly became a volunteer favorite and they sent my cute face to Happy Tails. So here I am! Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, hw negative, and treated montly for fleas and hw preventatives. I would make a great addition to your family because I love kids of all ages. I also get along great with other dogs and puppies! I only weigh about 37lbs so I won't be too much for anyone to handle. Please contact my friends at Happy Tails! 815-626-2994.
