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
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 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
Otto is a 2-3 year old boy that was found on the streets of Chicago.  After unsuccessful  attempts to locate his owner, he is now in Mag Mutts care and is looking for his forever home.  He is shy/timid at first and takes a little time to warm up. He weighs between 10-12lbs and is looking sharp after just being groomed!. He is good with other dogs, kids unknown at this time. He bonds with women quickly and is 'velcro' attached to his one person. Would be great for an all women/single woman home!  More information regarding any restrictions for his forever home to come soon as he gets settled into a foster home! 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. January 28, 2025, 4:40 pm
