Story
ADOPT ELIZA JANE! A 4 year old, 7 pound Maltese mix, she’s really close to perfection. She seems to love just about everyone. Eliza Jane is house trained with reminders. Eliza Jane loves to be held & loves car rides. She just wants to always be with you. Now with this being said, if she can’t see you she will whine and bark. So an apartment or condo probably may not be the best fit for her unless someone is home with her most of the time. Eliza Jane hasn’t been around any kids but she should do just fine with respectful kids over age 8. Eliza Jane gets along fine with the other small dogs in her foster home. In fact she actually could care less about them. So if you are looking for a doggie playmate for your current dog Eliza Jane is not the one for you. She just prefers to be with her humans. Eliza Jane will need to be professionally groomed every 6-8 week to keep her looking beautiful and mat free. Eliza Jane is up to date on her shots. Heartworm negative, she is current on heartworm and flea prevention as well as spayed and microchipped. Eliza Jane’s adoption fee is $495. You must complete and submit an adoption application before a meeting with Eliza Jane can be scheduled. The application serves as a basis for a conversation. If you believe this wonderful little girl is for you, then go to heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your application. Using the menu at the top of the page, click on “Adoption Application.” Submit your completed application & you will be contacted. ***Please note that we are a foster based group located in the southern suburbs of Chicago. Under normal circumstances, we serve only the greater Chicago metropolitan area.***

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.

Story
Not interested in long walks in the cold Midwest winters? Bartok is your girl! She isn’t either. Currently, outside is only for doing her business and that happens within 10 feet of the door and back inside we go! She isn’t aggressive with other dogs or any people. She is still coming out of her shell though so she needs time to trust and feel safe. Just be open to reading her signals! We haven’t heard her bark, yet. She doesn’t destroy or even bother anything on the floor so no judgement by her on the state of the house! She’s very smart and knows “sit” and learned how to go up and down the ramp to the couch within about 5 minutes. She’s food/treat motivated so she will be very easy to train. She loves a good snuggle session on the couch (probably her favorite thing other than meal time). Petting her is kind of addictive because she’s SO SOFT and she doesn’t shed. The crate was very much her safe space when she first arrived but within a day or two you could see her trust and confidence start to shine.
