He came to Reach Rescue from Mississippi and has been thriving in foster care, enjoying all the simple joys of being a beloved companion.  Favorite Activities: - Long walks (the longer, the better!) - Curling up on the sofa (his favorite spot in the house) - Evening snuggles with his foster  He enjoys being included in family life and would be thrilled to join his humans on the sofa or bed for nighttime cuddles.

While he does have one bad eye, it doesn't hold him back—he gets around confidently and with great enthusiasm.

Story
Cocoa Male Shih Tzu Five years old Seventeen pounds House broken Leash trained Gets along with kids, dogs and possibly cats Sleeps in bed with foster and personal dog Needs to be on leash or in a fenced yard Racine Wisconsin Barb - skijour2@hotmail.com Cocoa I’m pleased to introduce you to Cocoa, the perfect gentleman! He’s a five-year-old Shih Tzu, in good health (no diarrhea or vomiting) other than an adorable underbite. Cocoa is a puppy mill release who I’m sure was a house dog before being in the mill. He was house broken as soon as I brought him into my home. He’s not fond of snow or rain but typically will go out just far enough to take care of business. Cocoa is good with other dogs and is quite playful. He enjoys wrestling and tug with my dog. He enjoys walks, is not reactive to other dogs out walking and wants to meet everyone! Cocoa will be neutered on January 15th and will be available for adoption afterwards. You can meet with him before that.

Story
Ok what about this: Hello my name is Gidget. I am a beautiful white and black, 8-10 year old Shihtzu. I am a little shy of new people. I will need someone willing to guide me on a path to a better life. I am working on potty training She does not approach people by choice right now, but is working on it. Once picked up she wags her tail and acts excited. She will sit on my lap for a short period of time. She ignores my cats and I think would be fine with another older dog. She does not like puppies jumping around her. She sleeps in a puppy pen with a potty pad on a soft blanket and a costume She likes to snuggle with the last foster home gave me. She does not mind her ears cleaned or her nails trimmed. Located in Mt. Pleasant, WI with her foster Maggie. Adoption fee required.

Story
Athena Power (female, Terrier mix), Bon Bon Power (male, Chihuahua mix), Chocolate Power (male, Terrier mix), Cookie Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Flower Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Granuda Power (female, Chihuahua mix), Paloma Power (female, Chihuahua mix), and Tobi Power (male, Terrier mix) may all have different faces, sizes, and quirks, but they share one incredible thing in common — a second chance. This group came from a home where they lived their entire lives outdoors, until their family became overwhelmed with caring for so many dogs. They were later transferred to Border Tails Rescue from the Blue Island Police Department, where their journey toward comfort and care truly began. Because they’ve had little exposure to people or the rhythms of indoor life, the Power Dogs are still learning what it means to feel safe. They can be shy, skittish, and even a little spicy when they’re scared — but that’s just fear talking. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, they’re already showing glimpses of the affectionate, curious companions they’re sure to become. They’ll need adopters who can move at their pace, give them space to settle in, and handle them securely outdoors to prevent escapes as they adjust. Double leashing and careful introductions to new people & spaces will be paramount to their safety. The process of earning their trust won’t happen overnight, but when it does, it’s magic — the moment a Power Dog leans in for a cuddle or wags their tail just for you is one you’ll never forget. Once they learn that home is safe, they will return that trust tenfold - often becoming the most loyal, affectionate companions you could imagine. If you’re someone who finds beauty in helping a frightened dog learn what love feels like, one of the Power Dogs might just be waiting for you.
