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
I had gotten Charlie when he was 6 weeks old from a family friend and I’ve had him since. Charlie is 4 years old his birthday is May 28th. I’m looking for someone who is experienced in caring for smaller dogs and who has the patience to deal with his excessive barking, someone who has the time for him, and someone willing to give beginning updates on him and yearly updates like once a year to see how he’s doing. Charlie is loving, funny, and a great snuggler and he LOVES food!

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.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
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
