Story
Finnegan is a smart energetic dog looking for a family ready to continue his training.  As an Akita/German Shepherd mix, Finnegan is a working dog with a strong protective drive. He loves to be outside, playing and roughhousing with his canine friends.  Finnegan is looking for an active home where he can direct his energy toward mental and physical activities and exercise. He gets along well with both dogs and cats in his foster home, and would likely do well with older children.  If you have experience with working breeds like Akitas and are ready to guide Finnegan through consistent obedience training, he is ready to be a devoted pet who will love and protect you! Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

Story
Can anyone foster or adopt this handsome boy?! Meet Shadea charming 2-year-old dog who is currently looking for a loving foster home or a forever family. This handsome boy was sadly abandoned at the shelter by his previous owner, who never returned for him, leading to a heartbreaking situation where he was at risk of euthanasia. Fortunately, Shade's gentle nature and loyalty to humans shine through, making him a wonderful companion. He thrives in the company of older children, as his size may be overwhelming for younger ones. Shade is well-mannered on a leash and is already house trained, making him an easy addition to any household. He enjoys outdoor adventures and long walks, showcasing his playful spirit. While Shade is generally friendly with other dogs, he can be selective about his companions and is notably protective of his toys. He takes treats with care, demonstrating his sweet demeanor. Shade is eager to find a family where he can offer his loyalty and protection. If you're interested in giving this sweet boy a chance, please contact Happy Tails to learn more about welcoming Shade into your home. Happy Tails 815-626-2994 or message us on Facebook!!
