Story
We’ve had Reba since she was a puppy. She’s a very smart, loving dog. We let her run around our property, and thought she would make a great farm dog, but our neighbor dogs are too close, and she will no longer stay on our property and has created a stressful situation with our neighbors. We don’t have a fenced in area and now she needs to be tied up all the time and we feel terrible doing this. She would love a job or an active loving family.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Estrella is 1.5 years old. She’s extremely playful, energetic, and loving. She needs a new home due to us moving to an apartment and therefore not being allowed to keep her. She would do best with an experienced owner because she has very strong separation anxiety. She will become her new owners shadow. She can also unknowingly play relatively roughly so being able to handle a bigger dog is a must. She loves children but like any dog she needs to be supervised with them. She’s a wonderful dog that anyone with the time to put in for her would be lucky to have!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Spayed or Neutered,
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.

Story
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.
