Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
Gibson is a 1-year-old Maltese weighing just 6 pounds with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Found as a stray, this sweet little guy is now ready to find a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. Gibson does well with other dogs and enjoys kids. He prefers to approach people on his own terms and will let you know he’s comfortable with his signature side-to-side tail wag. He isn’t a fan of fast movements, hands coming over his head, or clothing that goes over his head, so he’ll thrive in a home with adults who respect his gentle boundaries. Once Gibson bonds with you, he’s truly all in — affectionate, loyal, and happy to be by your side. He did great meeting visitors in his foster home and is making good progress with potty training. He loves food, treats, and being included in family life. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive little companion who just needs a bit of patience and understanding, Gibson may be your perfect match.    Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Meet Holly, will get better pictures once she is groomed. This doll and a sweety, coming around nicely and loves attention. She is a maltese/yorkie mix. I would say mostly maltese since she is a cream color. She weight in at 3.4 at her wellness exam. vet cleared her for adoption. She is complete vetted including being spayed and is ready for a home. We would prefer a home with no small children because of her size. So teenagers and up would be ok. If your interested in adopting her please email for an application at helpapoochrescue@gmail.com Her adoption fee is 750.00
