She traveled with us for 1 yr. around the states in our

and was my best friend, always by my side if I was sad. She
swam in our pool and bike rides in her trailer. She had
treats on my lap and snuggled at night with me in bed. She
was loved and told that everyday. Miss her terribly.. |

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on

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. |

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

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. |

Age

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
2/19/2023
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. |

Cassie was such a sweet, gentle girl. We had a very short

person that she did not like. 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! |

Hello Tailwaggers. Thank you so much for giving me the
opportunity to give this girl a great home. I adopted
Ace in August 2011. She was the perfect "mini-lab".
Loved chasing the squirrels. Loved going for her
walks. The last couple of years she slowed down quite a
bit but still loved to do her thing. This last summer,
she became ill. Dementia was setting in, sun downing,
arthritis, thyroid... Medication helped somewhat.
Recently the dementia got worse and the medication
wasn't helping with her pain. Through all of this, her
tail never stopped wagging which made my decision so
hard. This morning, we all said good-bye. She made her
rounds from me, my son, boyfriend, daughter, and back to
me for one last pet and lick. It was as if she was
saying "Thank you", "Good bye". Dr. Mike was absolutely
amazing and made her crossing easier for all of us.
Boy did she snore. She loved her walks and snuggling on
the couch. My polydactyl tabby enjoyed grooming Lacey
and curling up next to her on her bed. She wasn't the
brightest crayon in the box which made her even more
lovable. Couldn't hear you calling her to come in the
house but she could sure hear that little cheese
wrapper. She loved chasing the squirrels up the trees
with her fur brother Loki. He sure misses her. We all
do.
Thank you for letting her be part of our family.

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.

Mocha lived a life of protecting her home from deer and
Amazon delivery people and training and protecting two
puppies that were brought into our home after her. Mocha
loved her people fiercely, loved her treats, loved her
walks, and loved lounging on all cushy chairs, sofas, and
beds. Mocha was always in the kitchen when people were
cooking and loved getting any scraps of veggies or fruits we
would give her. Carrots were her favorite.

Radar was a sweet dog, he was not a super fan of all of the
puppies we had come through the house but he tolerated them.
His tail always wagged and he would talk to you if you asked
him questions. Everyone would comment on how unique he was,
he had the prettiest eyes. He was well loved.

Emma was a very sweet little girl full of anxiety. She loved
her canine brothers and always looked to them for comfort.
Emma became to trust her family and groomer. She loved walks
and loved to rip her toys apart minutes after she got them.
You could always find Emma with a toy in her mouth. 3 years
after we had her she started having severe seizures. We
tried everything and the vet thought she had a brain injury
from her prior short life. Emma fought but she couldn’t
overcome the seizures. There isn’t a day that goes by I
don’t think of my sweetie.

Jasmine Rose was the best girl we could have ever dreamed
of. She became family in large part to be our daughters
first best friend and longtime protector. 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

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.
