Story
*SPONSORED ADOPTION FEE*FAST FACTS:*10 Years Old - 58 Pounds*Mostly Low Energy*No Young Children (Calm Teenagers OK)*Calm Dogs and/or Cats OK*Potty and House Trained*Loves the Outdoors*Prefers a Quiet/Mellow HomeBIO:Hi there, future family! My name is Shallow, and I am a lovely lady with deep affection for the people I let into my world. I would thrive in a calm home without many visitors where I can snooze in my favorite doggie bed and sunbathe by the windows. I enjoy the finer things in life like lounging by your side and going for leisurely walks around the neighborhood (I have some minor arthritis and take joint supplements that help, but I am not as fast as I used to be!), and also quite enjoy outdoor activities such as trips to parks or forest preserves to sit and people, dog, and duck watch; being your first mate on a boat ride; or dipping my paws in the water with my foster family at their lake house. I would prefer an adult-only home, or older teenagers if you have kids, because everyone needs to understand that while I love to be by your side I am not the kind of dog who likes hugs, kisses, or people clinging on me. I get along with dogs and cats who are calm and will not get in my face too much. I am even well-mannered during car rides to our next adventure or the local coffee shop for a puppachino! I have excellent manners and make a great roommate: I'm potty trained and can hold it up to 7-8 hours. My ideal forever home will have someone home frequently because I love to be near my humans, but if you need to leave the house for a while I am content to nap and wait for your return. I know a few commands including sit, come, and lay down, and I don't beg to get on furniture. I even have a special talent: I can make my ears dance in exchange for a tasty treat! I dream about an understanding family who will lounge around with me on lazy weekends and enjoy the great outdoors on occasional adventures. If that sounds like you, please fill out an adoption application soon because I have been waiting a long time for you!

Story
FAST FACTS:*2 Years Old, 54 pounds *Sweet, Loving, Smart, Devoted *Medium Energy *No cats *No Young Children (Calm Teenagers OK)*Dog Friendly *Potty Trained *Crate Trained *Fenced Yard Required *Training Required BIO:Hi everyone, my name is Leigh, and my backstory is both sad and familiar. I was picked up as a stray in Texas and brought to an overcrowded local shelter, where I stood little chance of being adopted. What a happy day it was when FTF rescued me and placed me with a wonderful foster family. They are helping me acquaint myself with the comforts-and safety-of a home. It took no time for me to rediscover how much I love being near my people. I adore being petted, and when you stop, I'll stare up at you with my soulful brown eyes until you resume. While I bond very strongly to my people, I need time to build that bond so I need someone who will take things slow while I adjust to the sounds and movements of my new home. Indoors, when I'm not on "shadow duty," I enjoy destuffing plush toys, playing with my foster canine siblings, and snoozing in a soft, cozy dog bed. I'm fully potty trained and will pace/whine by the door when I need to go out. As for my crate, just toss in a treat, and I'll go right in. I'm also having fun learning new things, including fetch and some basic obedience skills (I've almost mastered sit, down, come, touch, and leave it). My foster mom says I'm very smart and highly treat-motivated, so I catch on quickly. Smart cookies like me are required to sign up for training classes with their adopters- I can't wait to see what we learn together! Outside, nothing is better than going on long walks-so much to see and smell! I generally have good leash manners, except when I encounter a squirrel or rabbit and pull in their direction. Although I sometimes bark when I see another dog approaching, I'm easily redirected. Finally, I'm getting the hang of jumping into the car. Make sure to buckle me in though, so that I don't jump out when you open the door. I'm so looking forward to meeting you!

Story
Puppies are cute, cuddly and looking for a family to call their own. They need an owner who is home often, and willing to help with training, socializing and housebreaking. They need to be let out often so they can learn to go potty outside. Training is required, and we will need to see proof from adopters that puppies have been signed up for classes. They need an owner to be committed to them forever, and in return they will reward you with a lifetime of cuddles, kisses and love. Sound like a commitment you're ready to make? Please fill out an adoption application and Fetching Tails Foundation will be in touch soon!If you'd like to adopt this dog, please get started by filling out a complete application (incomplete submissions cannot be sent.)

Story
FAST FACTS:*1 and a Half Year Old, 34 Pounds*Sweet, Loving, Gentle, Smart*Medium Playful Energy*People Friendly *Dog Friendly*Potty Trained*Crate Trained*Recovering From Heartworm Treatment*Training RequiredBIO:Hi all, I'm Pita, another Texas gal found as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Since Texas has the highest rate of animal euthanasia in the nation, I consider myself lucky indeed to have been rescued by FTF and brought to Chicago to find my forever home. My foster mom says I'm a sweet and loving pooch whose favorite things are giving hugs and kisses and getting lots of pets. I've discovered how much fun it is to go on walks. My leash manners are improving by the day, and I'm quite the social butterfly, always interested in meeting new people and pooches of all ages and sizes. While car rides were a new experience for me, I'm getting the hang of being the backseat navigator (everyone needs one of those-right?!). As I recover from heartworm treatment, I do need to be kept calm until cleared by the vet. But I can't wait for the day when I can be more active-perhaps joining you on long hikes and/or jogs. A few final facts about me. I'm potty trained, settle quickly in my crate, and don't chew on anything that doesn't belong to me. My weak point is food possessiveness. My foster mom is working with me with that, and I'm doing better. With your continued help, and the obedience classes you'll sign us up for (required for all young FTF pups), I know I'll break that bad habit in no time. So this is what you can expect if you adopt me into your home-a loving and gentle canine companion who will give you more love and happiness than you could ever imagine. Interested? Then please complete an adoption application and schedule a meet and greet. I believe we're destined to have a wonderful life together!
