Story
Cappy Available for Foster to Adopt pending Neuter You might notice right away that I have a special way of saying hello – I just can't help but pop up on my back legs and wave my front paws when I see someone I like (which is pretty much everyone)! I know it makes people smile, and making my humans happy is my favorite thing in the world. At just 12 pounds and one year old, I may be small, but I've got enough personality to fill a Great Dane's body! I absolutely love playing with toys – they're my treasures, and I'd love to show you my collection. When I'm not entertaining everyone with my silly antics, I'm a total cuddle bug. There's nothing better than snuggling up next to my person after a fun walk or play session. Speaking of walks, they're one of my favorite activities! Well, that and being affectionate... and playing... and dancing... okay, I guess I just love life in general! What can I say? I'm a happy little guy! Would you like to meet me? I promise to give you my very best welcome dance! Just ask for Cappy at the shelter – I'll be the one doing the happy wiggle! I will be neutered 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 wiggles, Cappy December 19, 2024, 12:14 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 at first, but warms up and is looking for a comfy lap to lay on!  She will require patience to warm up while transitioning to a new home. 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. December 14, 2024, 6:11 pm

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 $600.00. 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.

Story
Buster is the happiest little dog you will ever meet. It's hard to look at him and not smile. He came to us kind of scraggly but after a nice grooming, a dental and some TLC, he is feeling fine. Buster lost his loving home when his owner passed away. We are looking for the perfect home for him to live out his golden years. Buster has Cushing's Disease but is not needing treatment at this time. Cushing's disease (also known as Cushing’s syndrome) is a condition in which the adrenal glands overproduce certain hormones. Don't let this stop you from adopting this special senior. Did we mention he is great with other dogs?_________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Buster is $ 300.00WANT TO MEET BusterThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Buster and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Falcor is a delightful 1.5-year-old dog eagerly awaiting his forever home. He's quickly adapting to home life and is especially fond of snuggling—just say the word, and he'll come running. With little expierence being on a leash a fenced in yard would be best for an easier transition. Bringing a dog like Falcor into your home can be a rewarding experience, offering both companionship and the satisfaction of providing a loving environment to a deserving pet.
