Story
Meet Nala! 🐾 Nala is a 5-year-old Terrier Mix who’s looking for a forever home where she can share her joyful and playful spirit. Despite having some medical needs, this sweet girl is full of life and happiness 🙂 Nala came into rescue with diabetes and EPI, which is easily managed with two insulin shots and a special supplement with her meals twice a day, which helps keep her in great shape and ready for fun! Nala adores playing with kids, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is perfectly fine with cats. She’s a versatile companion who can fit into various households. She is searching for a loving home where she can continue to thrive. Ideally, her new home would not have farm animals, as they can lead her to eat things that upset her sensitive stomach during outdoor explorations. Ready to make Nala a part of your life? Fill out an adoption application at www.tailsofhopewi.org! We'd be happy to discuss her needs a bit more with you!

Story
Meet Mehlani: The Sweet Norwegian Elkhound Mix! Mehlani is a beautiful 10-month-old Norwegian Elkhound and Shepherd mix, radiating sweetness and joy. While she may initially come off as a bit timid, this gentle girl quickly warms up to new people and situations, revealing her loving nature. With patience and kindness, you’ll discover just how amazing Mehlani truly is. This lovely pup has shown herself to be exceptionally gentle with the children she’s met, making her a great companion for families. As long as kids are willing to give her the time she needs to feel comfortable, she will thrive in a loving home. Mehlani is an active girl who loves running and playing tag. A fenced-in yard where she can romp freely would be the perfect paradise for her! While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she does require proper introductions and tends to prefer playmates who aren’t overly hyperactive. With her instinct to chase, it’s best that she goes to a home without cats or rabbits, as she has a strong prey drive for small critters. In addition to her playful spirit, Mehlani is a fantastic travel companion. She loves car rides and is well-behaved during walks, showcasing her adventurous side. She’s both house trained and crate trained, though she prefers not to be in the crate for long periods. So far, she’s shown no signs of destructive behavior. Mehlani is a wonderful blend of playfulness and sweetness, and with a little time and understanding, she will make a loyal and loving addition to any family. If you’re looking for a sweet and spirited pup to join your home, Mehlani is ready to fill your life with happiness! Adopt Mehlani at: https://tailsofhopewi.org/adoptable-animals-2

Story
Meet Scooter! A spunky, happy-go-lucky, playful little guy. He is a social butterfly and will bring a smiles and laughter to everyone he meets. If he’s not following his resident siblings around the house, he’s running around the legs of his foster-mom looking for snacks and adventure. Bones, toys that squeak, and his foster siblings are his favorite entertainment. But after his toys and friends are no longer any fun, he likes to curl up next to his humans for snuggles, pets, and belly rubs. Scooter is still very young and is learning his manners. He does well with other dogs, is crate trained, and doing well with potty training. This handsome fella is pure love and happiness in the form of a four-legged friend.
