Story
Meet Bear! Bear came to us from the Red Door Pound with some PTSD issues. He had been shot in the hip and whether he was a stray or had an owner, no one got him medical treatment. It has heeled, but he tends to limp on the back leg where he was shot. You would never know it by how well he gets around. He runs like the wind. Since that happened to him however, it does make him timid around some people. He cowers in fear of thunder, fireworks, loud noises and loud vehicles. He has done really wonderfully with our trainer and has broadened his social network greatly. He needs a home with a lot of patience and understanding. Your reward is..the most loving, faithful, full of kisses handsome young man. Bear is going on 3 years and we do not know if he has ever known the comfort of a home. Boy would he love that! He has met older kids and they do not seem to intimidate him. Young children we would have to say no too. He does get along good with other dogs the majority of time and has been on pack walks and done great. He is a very good walker. If you have that special place in your heart to help a kindred soul find his comfy life with a home we would love for you to meet him. You can call 815-626-2994 for more information or to set up a meet and greet.

Hi Friends! My name is M-i-s-s-i-pp-i! I think this fun name fits my sparkling fun personality perfectly! I am a young lass that was dumped off by my family at the animal control! I quickly became a volunteer favorite and they sent my cute face to Happy Tails. So here I am! Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, hw negative, and treated montly for fleas and hw preventatives. I would make a great addition to your family because I love kids of all ages. I also get along great with other dogs and puppies! I only weigh about 37lbs so I won't be too much for anyone to handle. Please contact my friends at Happy Tails! 815-626-2994.

Story
Who wants to adopt or foster a sweet girl?! Portia, a beautiful 2-year-old female dog, was discovered as a stray and brought to a shelter where she faced extreme stress. Just hours away from being euthanized, Happy Tails tagged her and a compassionate foster stepped in to save her life. Portia embodies the perfect combination of intelligence, tranquility, and companionship. She is built like an athletic and would be a perfect jogging, dock diving, or hiking partner. She has learned several commands and is a joy to walk on a leash. Her calm demeanor extends to car rides, where she behaves wonderfully, and her love for treats makes training sessions enjoyable and effective. While she interacts well with other calm dogs, she tends to shy away from overly energetic or pushy playmates. Portia has also shown a gentle disposition around children, making her an ideal companion for families with respectful kids who can appreciate her sweet nature. This lovely girl is ready to find her forever home, where she can thrive in a loving environment. She can not live with cats however. If you're interested in adopting or fostering Portia, contact Happy Tails or message us on Facebook! 815-626-2994
