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.

Story
Noah is a puppy known as a Malchipoo, a maltese/chihuahua and Poodle pup. He is a loving little guy who will start out a bit shy. He was born in a commercial breeding facility and dogs not have the same puppy experiences a dog might have that was born in your home. He wasn't exposed to the same things at an early age. That being said, he is learning and adjusting well now that he is with us. He is a happy guy who loves to play with his mates. He will need house training and regular training like any puppy would. He is best suited for a home rather than an apartment or condo setting. Noah is a little guy causing him to be more fragile, He can't be in a home with little kids but would be fine with older kids. Like all puppies, he will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all puppies—not only to give Noah important learning skills, but because you and your puppy will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together. Noah is fully vetted. He has been neutered, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be 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 Liam wants to be sure his family is all in for better or for worse! IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 12 MONTHS): You must have a very flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you. We adopt in and to the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits. If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate, please fill out an application for adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption We are all volunteers with full-time jobs.

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
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Émile “ The Big Deal” aka Meal Deal! Meal Ticket, Meal Worm… foster mumsie likes to rhyme. My name is fancy and French as a nod to my fancy French maltipoo lineage. Here’s a little about me you’ll want to know. I’m 1-2 years old , abt 13lbs and boast the most marvelous low shedding curls. Also.. my fur is he magic stuff that doesn’t stick to your yoga pants,sofa,or cause the leaky nose. Lucky you! Snuggle me with no worries. I love to go on walkies. I go several times a day for short walkies and to see tree cats( squirrels)…I can only chase tree cats. Inside cat says no..and I respect her pawsition! Have you seen their murder paws? No thank you! I’m on my best behavior around Fierce Fiona the inside cat. I also dig playing with my other small dog foster friends and roomies. I’m a real smarty pants with a little mischievous streak that you’ll learn to love when you ask for a kiss and I come bouncing to you and give…kisses on command! Best trick ever. I’m almost completely potty trained and do use my pee pads in an emergency. I’m kennel trained so I don’t get into trouble when foster mums not home, and….I’m not a yapper. Let’s hang out….forever! You just pick me and my people will get back to you. Foster mom here: Émile is a happy, bouncy little dog with all the love to give. He will do best in a home with med energy and another small dog to play with. Daily walks are his favorite. He is very smart and even climbs trees so he does need to be supervised and have a very secure yard or be properly leashed. He is available for adoption locally only so you can come and meet him here and see him in the environment he’s used to. He is timid at first in new places but warms up quickly. He’s been very good with gentle kids,but will also love “sharing “their toys. He is a bit of chewer and has been learning redirection very well. Local adoption fee is $400.00 (in TX)
