We were told Buford was dropped at a shelter in Georgia because he wasn’t a good guard dog. He had a great bark… but was such a softie. Things he loved: laying across our laps, long walks (if he didn’t get his nightly walk, he would sit in the yard and refuse to ‘go’ so we had to walk him…we were well-trained), FOOD, a soft place to sleep and US. He loved being with us all the time. When we’d pack up the car to go up north, he’d sit on the screen porch and wouldn’t move until he was allowed in the car. He had a major sweet tooth. He was the best boy and our home is empty without him

Ginny came to us right before 4th of July in 2015 as such a sweet dog. Our neighbor came up with the name Sophia and we keep it as Sophie or Soph Doph ever since.

She was the last of the litter to be adopted and was definitely the runt. She overcame mange and coming up from Georgia to fill our family with so much joy.

Sophie was such a kind dog to our 2 cats and our growing family of 2 daughters. She was always patient and caring yet also had the sassy side to her. It seemed like she had a 6th sense to know whenever you needed a little extra attention and support - she would be right by you.

She was my walking partner and truly miss all the morning, lunch, and evening walks with her. She had the cutest little pounce and bark when she really was excited and when she was younger would love doing zoomies.

Gracie came from an abusive situation in Kentucky, and had many fears and anxieties. When we adopted her, my goal was that she would feel safe and loved every day of her life. I think we accomplished that for all of our 15 1/4 years with her!

Gracie loved food and treats. She loved patrolling the yard and using her hound dog sniffing skills. She won smartest dog in a dog trick contest at a doggie festival.

Everyone from young to old loved Gracie. She was the sweetest soul. We miss her and are so grateful for the love she brought to us. She was simply the best.

Tinkerbell always kept us on our toes. She did what she wanted, when she wanted. She was sweet as pie and loved “her boy” my son Chih. They shared a room together for most of the first year she was with us. She thought she was a lap baby even tho she was 65-70 pounds at her largest. The “middle doggie” sister to her older brother Spirit and younger brother Rudy. She fought her cancer battle probably for much longer than we knew and were thankful for the last 4 weeks we got with her.
We love you Belle! And hope you’re eating a lot of cheeseburgers over that rainbow bridge.

Aurora was the sweetest, smartest dog in the world and will be deeply missed. She loved treats and stuffies more than anything. She was the perfect match for her very best friend Koda and the two of them were joined at the hip. Our favorite story to tell was how when we adopted her we were told that she was full grown, and then she proceeded to become 40lbs heavier and quite a bit taller :) We never found a puzzle she couldn't solve! Her presence in our family was huge and her absence is too. Thank you Tailwaggers for the opportunity to have this beautiful soul in our lives.

Rosie came to us as a foster. She was adopted and returned twice for being too aggressive. We decided that we couldn't let that happen again so she was our 1 and only foster fail. I'm not exactly sure how old she was but it feels like we had her forever. It was about 14 years. She accepted every dog, cat, grandchild, and human that came into her home. She was always there to greet us with butt wiggles and her famous Rose Bud smile. She never caused trouble and was the most laid back, loving dog. She loved her 2 walks a day, even in her last days. There will never be another Rosie and we will miss her tremendously. She was truly family to us and our hearts are broken. May she run free for all eternity with all her animal siblings that passed before her. Thank you for being the absolute best, Rosie Posie. We will love you forever.

I adopted Elmo way back in 2014 during barktober fest. I sat down in front of him and he came up to me and gave me a kiss and that’s when I knew that he was my dog. He was such a goofy rambunctious puppy that loved destroying things, but he always did it with love and loved chewing his stinky bones that he would stick in your face just to show you. He came with me everywhere, he even became a Chicago city boy for a year. He was my soul dog, my best friend, and the best companion I could have ever asked for. He was so sweet and loved to cuddle (even if that meant just sleeping on top of me) and loved stealing peoples food. He loved sharing a cheez it box with me and surprisingly loved carrots. He was with me through everything and I am so lucky that he chose to spend his life with me. He passed away surrounded by his favorite people and got to do what he loved to do most- fall asleep looking at me.

We didn’t choose Chloe, she chose us. 8 years ago we received a call from Tailwaggers 911, where we fostered, would we consider taking on a new dog. This dog had been difficult to place, she had been returned once from a prospective adoptee, and was not fitting in at other fosters. I looked at her bio and pic and said…no…I don’t want a pit in the house. You see, in her picture she looked like a pit bull, and I was naïve and biased, believing all the bad press I had read on pit bulls. In actuality, her biggest faux-paux was that she was a counter surfer. Gentle redirection along with continuity of routine and after a few weeks she realized she wouldn’t have to want for food, there would be plenty, she was safe. Quick to learn many things and eager to please, she was getting ready to be adopted out. And we tried, but she came back to us after another failed adoption attempt, which was shocking because she was the biggest love lump ever. Even though we said we would try to find her another fit there was always some excuse why a prospective adoptee wouldn’t work. And finally we had to admit it…we were going to be foster fails. Chloe chose us and she wasn’t about to go anywhere else. She was a cherished member of our family and fought valiantly for a year when diagnosed with lymphoma. She didn’t want to leave us, she was home. Chloe taught me a lot. She taught me not to be judgmental and to always give someone the benefit of the doubt and to give the underdog a chance. She taught me that hope is always better than despair. She taught me to make each day matter. And she reminded me that life is just better when you have a furry friend to share it with.

She always wanted to greet everyone that came to our door. She never barked and only whined when she wanted to go outside. Cassie loved her long walks with her Mom. She got so excited circling her Mom as she tried to put her leash on her. Her favorite time was spent laying by her Dad on the couch getting belly rubs. She loved to pick on her two cats companions making sure they did not get near her food. She loved her fruit and vegetable treats. She could always hear anytime someone peeled a banana or got an apple out of refrigerator. Every time the colander was taken from the cabinet she would come running for some cauliflower or broccoli treats. She never liked thunderstorms or loud noises. She would always take shelter by her humans for comfort. Cassie loved going "on vacation" to the kennel. Everyone there would always fight over who got to take her first. She was such a special girl. We are going to miss her so much!

Rylee was simply the best. "The Queen" as my daughter would call her. She enjoyed car rides, walks, and absolutely loved to chase waves. The sound of waves excited her. She was the first to say hello in the mornings. She loved people. She did not like when you dropped the remote or phone. If she wanted my attention while I was on my phone, she would put her nose under my hands and flip the phone out of my hand (or try to) She LOVED her butt scratched and behind her ears. She would come over and put her head to the ground with her butt in the air (and your face) and have you scratch her butt. In her younger years, she would run around our yard as quickly has she could (butt on fire..lol) she also could jump fairly high- especially trying to get the Frisbee. She only barked if the doorbell rang, or if she saw another dog walk by. When she was 7 (2016) , she was diagnosed with Addisons.. we almost lost her but she fought back hard. In January 2022, she started to slow down a lot, arthritis in her back and most recently they found a mass on her liver. Our last days with her we made sure she would chase waves one more time, so we took her to the beach. We miss her terribly, the house is quieter without her here.

From day one until the last she was that and SO much more. Jasmine provided unconditional love, comfort, playfulness, strength, protection, and a special kind of snarky sass. She lived her life chasing tennis balls, playing with her 4 legged brother Casanova (on her terms of course), and sunbathing at every chance! She was the ‘Queen Bee’ of the house and she knew it. Food and belly rubs made you immediately her friend for life. Jazz gave her everything to the ones she loved and we are forever grateful to say that we made her list! We miss her deeply everyday and will forever love her.

Zeus had a great life. He loved his daily walks trying to catch bunnies, squirrels or that elusive fox and sleeping on his favorite recliner. He loved “suntanning” in the backyard. Zeus was such a good boy and he will be forever missed!

Cherry Blossom was such a sweet&silly girl! She loved to play& snuggle with her big sister, Roulette. She LOVED to watch T.V., especially Disney movies and wildlife shows featuring lions&cheetahs. She loved to be kissed&loved giving us kisses even more. And when she was super happy, her tail wagged in circles. She loved her family with all her huge heart. And we loved Cherry Blossom as if she was our daughter. R.I.P. baby girl.

Bones came to us from an Adoption event. Patrick brought him home after he went to look at puppies. Guinness was not a puppy. He was an adult dog ( estimating 2-3 years) and he had been returned to TW911 TWICE! He was returned twice because on the surface they weren't good home fits. He was returned in reality because he was meant to come to my home. He was called a "rescue" and he was a perfect being who rescued me and our family over and over. His soul searching eyes, his equally playful, feisty, and gentle nature, and his handsome crossed gentleman paws created a connection with every person he met and changed many minds around how pitbull/mutts were perceived. His big block head and seemingly sun glowing amber eyes could look intimidating from down the street but his kindness and gentleness were his core traits. I think maybe he was grateful to be in a home with many belly rubs and comfy beds and couches which he was welcomed on happily. He could act like velcro or sit quietly alone under a tree in a majestic pose. He loved wiggling on his back and barking at the sky. He loved a car ride and insisted if his people started their day with coffee he needed some whip cream too. He tried swimming and acupuncture in the last months for comfort and I don't know he loved swimming pools but he did love poking the creek for frogs. He left us far sooner than expected due to a peripheral nerve sheath tumor which was wrecking his fun spontaneous life and to the end he was ever present for me and held my leg and hand to comfort me as he started the adventure across the bridge. Guinness was EPIC on this earth. I hope he has found boundless energy and movement and joy with the other family pet loves from my life. He is deeply missed.

Clifford was the most amazing boy ever. He had the biggest heart. Loved every single person he met and just wanted hugs. He really did rescue me. We went on so many adventures together. He would only howl when I would howl at him first and we’d have conversations. I have no idea what I was saying but he was happy. Haha He’s the best thing to ever happen to me and not a day goes by that I don’t think & talk to him. He will always hold a big piece of my heart. Thank you for the memories, tootie. I will see you again. Love, mama.
