Story
Catherine is a 12 pound Maltese ready to find a great home! Catherine (along with Mary, a Maltese also available for adoption) was surrendered by family after the owner passed away in December of 2024. Catherine and Mary are not bonded and don't have to be adopted together. Unfortunately, scant details were provided about them. What we do know for certain is that both girls are young(er), were in poor condition (flea infestations), pancaked over thresholds, and were woefully under socialized.  The really great news is that they are blossoming with good care, good food and a whole lot of love! Catherine is the older (about 5 years old) of the two girls and incredibly loving although timid.  Catherine has learned to potty outside and follows directions impeccably.  She worries very much about food and will wolf her food down and search for others’ food.  Catherine needs a fenced yard and is starting to walk beautifully on a leash. She does great with other dogs of all ages and temperaments and would do best with another dog, seasoned in being loved and part of the family.  While Catherine had a mouth full of rotten teeth that were removed via a dental, she is healthy and will require a healthy diet to keep her liver values in check. Catherine is up to date on shots, spayed, de-wormed, micro-chipped and fecal tested negative. She also recently got a dental cleaning and a mammary tumor removed. We require an adoption application, phone interview, virtual house check, and meet and greet with your entire family.

Catherine and Mary are not bonded and don't have to be adopted together. Unfortunately, scant details were provided about them. What we do know for certain is that both girls are young(er), were in poor condition (flea infestations), pancaked over thresholds, and were woefully under socialized. The really great news is that they are blossoming with good care, good food and a whole lot of love! Given Mary’s proclivity for running zoomies, jumping on furniture and dogs, she is very much a puppy. Our best guess is no more than two years of age. Despite the joy and zest with which Mary greets life, she is the most timid of the two dogs. Mary expects for you to hit her when she is approached. She will immediately pancake to the floor, cowering. When she first arrived in foster care, Mary suffered two seizures which were most likely precipitated by the stress of constantly moving homes. Mary is on a vet approved protocol of CBD for seizures and has not suffered any additional seizures since. Mary is now house trained and is able to eat her food and digest without throwing everything up an hour after a meal. Mary, all sweetness and youth, acts as if her world is unsafe. She will require a home that is able help her become relaxed with knowing she is loved. Mary must have a very secure fenced yard as she is a runner and will jump and run at a moment’s notice. Mary will do okay as an only dog but would do best with an active household with a confident, patient dog to teach Mary the ropes. Mary will bully a timid dog as she plays rough and pushes the limit. Mary is wary of a harness and allows one to be fitted but is still a scrambler on a leash. She is smart and will learn this in time. Mary is up to date on shots, spayed, de-wormed, micro-chipped and fecal tested negative. She also recently got a dental cleaning.

Story
Meet Bitty and Bon Bon, two-month-old Maltese mix sisters with hearts full of love and a bond that’s unbreakable. After surviving a heartbreaking start to life, confined to a crate and treated as commodities rather than the sweet, living souls they are, these tiny cuddlebugs are ready for a fresh start—together. Bitty, with her spunky, wiry coat, and Bon Bon, with her soft, fluffy fur, balance each other perfectly. They love to snuggle, play, and offer endless affection to anyone willing to give them the chance. These girls need a family ready to embrace the joys and challenges of raising puppies, with the patience, dedication, and love it takes to give them a happily-ever-after.

Story
Simon Was 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 spirited dog . He is high energy and a vocal fellow if he isn't getting what he wants! He will do best in a home with a yard, 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 has the basic skill but needs to be set on a routine. A belly band will be a good tool to keep him in check. He and his family would also benefit from a training class. Like all dogs he will need structure and a patient loving home. We recommend training for all dogs. You and your puppy/dog will create a stronger bond just for having gone to training. Simon is a little over a year old and fully vetted, He has been neutered, has received age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, Subsequent vaccines are at the expense of his adopter, His adoption fee is $600. 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 OR A DOG WITHOUT FULL POTTY SKILLS): 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/DOG 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. Rescue Tails Animal Welfare is a volunteer in home foster based rescue. We are no a brick and mortar. There is NO building to come to and visit. If 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/
