Story
Meet Dixie! Dixie originally came to Animal Care League as a local stray and we unfortunately never located her owners. Dixie was adopted shortly after but was unfortunately returned after some health issues arose. Dixie has since been diagnosed with a slight neurological condition that causes her to be thrown off balance easily - this medical hurdle hasn't stopped Dixie from being a happy go lucky girl! Dixie would do best in an adult-only dog-savvy home that can understand Dixie's needs and enjoy her for her. Perfect just the way she is! We affectionately call our silly girl "Dixie Doodle" because of her silly and happy personality, she's really just a good time. Dixie is currently in foster so if you're interested in meeting our Dixie girl please contact Aubrey at Felinemanager@animalcareleague.org

Story
Baker and his littermates came to us from Missouri. They were being given away for free on social media. This is a very dangerous practice for these little pups. They could be given to people that do not have the best interest of the puppy in mind. It is a common way for people that dogfight to get bait dogs. Please consider giving one of these little cuties a home of their own!THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie is a young fellow with a super loving disposition. He like all young dogs, needs a little training to teach him boundaries and limits. Charlie is always happy and gentle. He will charm that pants off of you! He wants to play with nice dogs and hang out with a family. Charlie is likely to go rear paralyzed again in his life so he must have an adopter that not only understands he is special needs but will support those needs whether he heals or never walks again. If you can't manage that please don't apply! He has healed 98% but still has a bit of wobble in his gait that will improve with time and therapy. Charlie is fully vetted. He is neutered, had a dental, vaccinated and has a microchip. If you are interested in Charlie please contact us on this site or email us at RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. We are volunteers and work full time. We try to respond with in 48 hours. Please be patient with us. We require approved adoption applications before we can schedule a home visit and a meet and greet. We only adopt local in the Chicago metro area.

Story
Nellie is said to be 15. We agree she is a senior but she might be a touch younger. Her family brought her into Animal Control to euthanize her saying she had vulva cancer. There is no such thing! They made it up and never had the vet diagnose her! Nellie had a polyp on her uterus. We had it removed when we got her spayed and did her dental! Nellie is am amazing happy dog who wants to be your couch companion and BFF. She has wonderful house manners and a constant wagging tail. She is a true delight! She may not hear well but her eyes see well. She climbs up stairs with no effort. She does have cherry eye that caused dry eye. Nellie does need to see the opthamologist annually and need twice daily prescription eye drops for life to to dry eye. Beyond that she is quite healthy and a good eater! Nellie is fine with other dogs but perfers people to pets. She does protect her space and food and will try to chase other dogs away from her zone. Nellie is fully vetted and would be a great dog for anyone who will give her all the love she deserves. She has been spayed, had a dental, vaccinated and has a microchip. If family please contact us through this website or at RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com. We are volunteers with full time jobs who will try to get back to you in 48 hours or less. Thank you for your patience! We do require an approved adoption application before we can schedule a home visit and a potential meet and greet. We only adopt within the local Chicago metro area. Thank you!

George

Shih Tzu

Male, 12 yrs 6 mos
Chicago, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
George is a special needs fully rear paralyzed shihtzu who needs to have his bladder expressed several times a day in lieu of traditional potty breaks. Failure to do so will cause leaking and potential urinary tract infections which can lead to bladder stones. It is citical for his adoption. George was relinquished by his family because he was rear paralyzed. We believe that his paralysis was from abuse and has left some emotional scars as well as the obvious phyiscal damage. George started out very guarded with humans as well as with foods and toys. He came to us very underweight and we suspect he was denied food as well. We have worked with George and earned his trust but whoever adopts him will need to do the same. It may take him a couple months or more before he feels safe. Once he does he will be an amazing companion. He loves his toys and thinks belly rubs are awesome. He will do best in a home with a dog of similar size that he can play with. He should not be around children because of his prior suspected history. It would be unfair to him and the children if he felt threatened and snapped at them. George is fulled vetted. He has been neutered, had a dental, all vaccinations, microchipped, and is heartworm negative. George will come with his custom made cart as well. We are not a brick and mortar shelter. We are home based fosters. We all work full time jobs and volunteer for the rescue. We try to get back to you in 48 hours. The process to adopt is to complete an adoption application. Once that is approved we can move on to a required home visit and schedule a meet and greet. We do no adopt out of state. If you are interested in George please contact us at RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com

Nala

Shih Tzu

Female, Adult
Palatine, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nala is a petite girl who was surrendered to our rescue and had fear anxiety. It takes her a while to warm up to people and once she knows your safe, she is a very calm girl. Since she does not do well with new people, she would be best in calm, less busy household with an adopter who can manage her type of temperment. She has been working with one of our training partners and if you are up for giving a dog another change to a loving home, we would have the right potential adopter do a couple of free training/meet sessions with her prior to completing adoption. If you are viewing this bio listing on our Web site/Petstablished, click the ADOPT button to fill out our adoption application. If you are viewing this bio on another pet adoption site, please click on the link that follows (https://petstablished.com/pets/public/432448) and then once on Nala's bio page, click the ADOPT button. ##432448##
