Story
Meet Louie, a sweet 5-year-old Maltese x Pomeranian mix who has found himself at our door after his guardian could no longer care for him. This little guy is understandably scared and in need of a family that can offer him the comfort, love, and patience he deserves. Louie’s tiny frame and big brown eyes are sure to melt your heart, and with a gentle approach, he’ll blossom into the loyal companion every family dreams of. He’s okay with other small dogs and would love to have a furry friend or two to show him the ropes. If you have a quiet home and a kind spirit, Louie could be the perfect fit for your family.

Story
Simon is A Puppy Born In A Puppy Mill. Thankfully, the breeder didn't have use for him giving Simon a chance out of the mill. We took him and now he is free to find his forever committed family. Simon is a very happy active puppy. He is high energy and a vocal fellow if he isn't getting what he wants! He will do best in a home, not an apartment or condo setting. Simon is happy to have a companion dog to play with. He is fine with cats and all people. Simon needs to learn house manners. He and his family would also benefit from a puppy training class. Like all puppies he will need structure and a patient loving home. We recommend training for all puppies not only to give the puppy learning skill. But you and your puppy/dog will create a stronger bond just for having gone to training. Simon is fully vetted, He has been neutered, has received age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, Subsequent vaccines are at the expense of his adopter, His adoption donation is $1200.00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family, Little Dogs can live to be 20+ years old so he wants to be sure his family is all in 100% for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 12 MONTHS): YOU MUST HAVE A FLEXIBLE WORK SCHEDULE OR SOMEONE HOME ALL DAY. PUPPIES NEED TO BE LET OUT TO POTTY OFTEN, THEY NEED SOCIALIZATION AND BONDING AND NEED TRAINING (HOUSETRAINING AND BEHAVIORAL TRAINING). IF YOU WORK LONG HOURS, HAVE A BUSY SOCIAL SCHEDULE OR NOT FINANCIALLY SECURE THEN A PUPPY IS NOT FOR YOU. We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits, If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate to adopt Simon please fill out an application for him adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/aoption We are all volunteers with full time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at: RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. f you aren't looking to adopt, but still would like to help Simon please consider a donation for his food, housing, and veterinary care. To donate, please visit: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/

Story
Betty Boop Available for Adoption I may be small, but my spirit is enormous! At just 6.5 pounds, I've been through a lot, but you'd never know it from my big smile and even bigger heart. When I was found on the streets, I was a mess - matted fur, not-so-fresh smell, and a whole lot of uncertainty. But from the moment I arrived at the shelter, everything changed. My intake team saw past my rough exterior and treated me like the precious girl I am. An oatmeal bath, a much-needed haircut, and suddenly I became Betty Boop - a name that captures my playful, charming personality! Despite my tough past, I'm a love bug who wants nothing more than to bring laughter and joy to a family. I'm looking for a fun-loving home where I can show off my silly side. Want a tiny companion who will make you smile, cuddle up close, and bring endless entertainment? Look no further! I'm ready to turn your world upside down with my tiny paws and big personality. Let's have some adventures together! I have been spayed and microchipped and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey   Love and hugs Betty Boop   November 20, 2024, 9:40 pm

Story
Moana is a another cute girl that arrived with the breeder release group.  She is a redhead girl that was born 3/15/2016 making her about 8.5 years old and weighing about 9lbs. She is shy/timid and will require patience and time to allow her to adjust to this new, big, scary world. Moana does have an old jaw injury, but eats 'canned' food fine.  She is good with other dogs, loves to sleep in her crate, and house training is in progress. Because of her lack of experience with walking on a leash and being a flight risk, a fenced yard will be required for her safety.  She has not been around small children, so kids in the home will need to be 6+ years old and have the ability to understand that she will need extra time to warm up and that fast movements and loud noises startle her.  We recommend obedience training for all pups and dogs!        **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                                      If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (       www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $360-$400 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. November 13, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
****Zeke is part of a bonded pair with Lucky Hi. I'm Zeke. I'm a 1 y/o male morkie ( Maltese/yorkie mix) who is part of a bonded pair along with my shitsu sister, Lucky. I am considered a "designer dog because 2 small, non shedding dogs were bred together. I get along well with other small dogs and all people, including children. I am playful and love toys and bones. I also love to sleep in foster mom's bed. My energy level is low and I don't bark unless I hear the UPS guy. I prefer to stay indoors. I am good on the leash and love walking in the neighborhood. I am crate trained, pee pad trained, and almost house broken. I do get nervous in the car if I am not with my sister. So, if you are interested in 2 well behaved, small dogs have your peeps call mine and we'll get this love affair started. Adoption fee local in Texas is $700 for the both of them, the out of state fee is $1200, this includes the transport fee for both of them as well as the fuel surcharge.
