Story

Hi there! My name is Gizmo and I am 10 years old. I'm a small guy that weighs only 10 pounds. I asked my foster Mom to write my story because, well I can't type and I'm too short to reach the keyboard .... hee hee. A rescue dog has 3 stories. Their past, their present and their future. Let's talk about Gizmo's past. Gizmo's past: Gizmo's owner was a "mature" lady. Gizmo was her faithful companion, along with another dog, until the day her family put her in a nursing home. The family then took both "mature" dogs to a local kill shelter. There, Gizmo waited his turn for someone to rescue him. When a "mature" dog lives with a "mature" Human we can agree, they both are settled in their own habits and for Gizmo he learned some bad habits. He was not potty trained, not neutered and was terrified of everything. But what we learned from the intake paperwork was Gizmo was a loyal companion to his Mama. One day, Treasured Animal Rescue goes to this shelter and found Gizmo's friend that was brought in. We didn't know they came in together until a dedicated shelter worker looked at their notes and said Gizmo came in with that dog. Their family brought in 2 dogs after their loving Mama was taken to a nursing home. Can you imagine the sadness both dogs felt? They can't express their sadness but just look out for a familiar face. So, when TAR took the 2nd dog as a foster, we said we would take Gizmo as well. We didn't even see him yet. We just knew he had a friend; he was a Chihuahua and he's 10. TAR's mantra is "we never leave a buddy or sibling behind". So, Gizmo got his Freedom Ride. Shelter wanted to clear up a blood test before releasing him to us. Remember back to his "mature" Mama - chances are if she was having health issues -she can't manage herself; chances she can't manager her "mature" dog's health issues. Gizmo blood test was off. When Gizmo got his Freedom Ride we beelined to our vet's office for a more detailed blood test. Gizmo didn't do well on that blood test. If he got a grade, it would be D-. His thyroid level was super lower. It didn't even register on the test limits that vets have to assess him at. He went on thyroid medication right away and we provided him a healthy diet for senior dogs. Two months of blood tests (we had Gizmo study!) he passed!! Woo woo. His test results came back much better. We gave him an A+! But sadly, once a dog has thyroid issues and placed on medicine it will be for the rest of his life. His thyroid medicine is very affordable ($7 on Chewy for 30 days). His foster Mom can provide information. Gizmo's present: He LOVES his foster Grandma! We think Gizmo likes the "mature" lady's vs young ones. The pace is just right for him. His foster family has placed him on a daily routine that Gizmo has thrived. He is now potty trained and will tell you he's excited to go outside. He loves mealtime because his foster Grandma pampers him. She makes sure he gets his daily medicine and praises him when he eats all his food. Gizmo is not aggressive or territorial with his food. He will take treats from your hands gently. Gizmo LOVES sitting outside and soaking in the sun. Not a big fan of the rain though. But with all our improvement(s) with Gizmo he still is weary of people. With all the dogs in his foster home Gizmo has not shown the comfy, cuddly side of himself. He prefers to sit by you or lay by your leg's vs your lap. We hope when Gizmo gets his forever home, he will have the spotlight all on himself or another "mature" dog and it will remind him of the days when he was with his original Mom and can be that loving, faithful doggie. Gizmo likes to talk to you. If you are not walking fast enough or making his food fast enough, he will bark. He barks to be let outside. He barks to come back inside. Walking on a leash he does gets spooked so not sure of him being in an apartment where there might be many people and/or other dogs. Speaking of other dogs. He has learned to co-habitat with them. In the beginning, he was terrified of bigger dogs or even the cats! Although the cats are bigger than him. As time goes by Gizmo has learned that the dogs bigger than him will not harm him. The cats he learned the same. Gizmo's future: He doesn't require much. A doggie bed, good food, lots of treats and his daily medication. We are hoping his new family will have patience with Gizmo and show him the love he aches for. We feel when he looks out the door or window, he's still looking for a familiar face; like he did in a shelter. He's looking for his original owner. Silently, we are telling his past owner in our hearts that Gizmo is safe. He is loved and being taken care of. We are going to ensure his new family will love this little guy. With all his quirks & barks! Thank you for reading Gizmo's story. Gizmo is located in our foster home in Aurora.

Story

Hi there my name is Huey and I am a Chihuahua/Schnauzer/Terrier mix about 7 years old. I have been in the rescue for quite some time as it takes me a little time to trust people. I was abused in my past so on my initial meet and greets with new people I am unsure and sudden movements make me scared. Once I get to know you and trust you you can't get rid of me. Once we are BFFs, I am the most loyal, fun, sassy and most of all cuddly friend. I am looking for my forever home with somebody who is either a stay at home, work from home, or retired as I like to be with my people as much as possible. I am completely up to date on my vetting which includes neutered, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, bordetella, negative fecal, negative heartworm, and microchipped. If interested in meeting me please go to the rescue's website www.atailof4paws.org and fill out the application. Once completed email or scan to rescue@atailof4paws.org

Mercutio

Chihuahua Pug

Size

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mercutio (pronounced Mer-Cue-She-O)! He is a vibrant and active ~12 year old boy who is looking for his forever home. He is happy to cuddle up on the couch, but also loves romping in the fenced yard. He gets along with other dogs, kids, and cats- but he does occasionally try to chase the cat. He can get protective of his people and that is when his chihuahua traits can some out- such as barking or growling at strangers on walks, He is crate trained and does great with potty training. He loves a good game of fetch with a squeaky toy. He is looking for a dog savvy home that is familiar with the protective nature of chihuahuas. He really is a love bug. He did have a mast cell tumor that was removed from his tail, but margins were good and it was low grade, so chances of reoccurrence are low, but it will need to be monitored. He also got a full dental cleaning. Mercutio's adoption donation of $300 helps cover the cost of his veterinary care. Application, reference checks, and home visit required. Adopters must live 1.5 hours driving distance from Romeoville, IL. For more information on adopting, please email us at info@perfectpooches.org. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.perfectpooches.org under the Adoption Process tab. All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested (age appropriate), fecal tested and/or dewormed, and microchipped.
