Looking for a fun way to cheer on the Big Game and help homeless pets? Our Touchdown for Tails fundraiser is here!

Each $30 ticket gets you one assigned square, with four chances to win throughout the game. Winners at the end of the first three quarters will receive a $100 Amazon or Visa gift card (your choice), and the final winner of the game will take home a $250 Amazon or Visa gift card!

Ticket sales close at 5:00 PM CST on Saturday, 2/7/26. We’ll email the completed grid on Saturday (or sooner if it sells out), so you’ll know exactly which numbers to watch for during the game on Sunday, 2/8!

It’s easy, it’s fun, and every square helps homeless pets right here at Tails Humane Society. Grab yours before they’re gone!

It's me again, Jameson. Still handsome, happy, and waiting and waiting to be your new best friend! 🐾 I’m a 5-year-old, 72lb. guy (admittedly, I do need to lose a good number of those pounds) with a zest for life and a big love for fun. One of my favorite things is leaning into you for good body rubs and scratches — I soak up affection like a pro. I enjoy fetch, toys, tug-of-war, and long walks, and I’d love a human friend to share adventures with. After a bit of exercise, I’m more than happy to relax with you and enjoy some serious snuggle time. I also get along well with other dogs, especially ones my size who like playful, rowdy fun. I’ve lived happily indoors, am house trained, know “come” and other basic commands, and I’m continuing to learn more. I’m friendly, social, and love everyone I meet. I’m currently staying in a quieter area, so please ask to meet me when you visit. ✨ My Adoption Fee has been partially Donated! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving gentleman with lots of love to give, I might just be your guy. 💙 Come meet me at Tails Humane Society in DeKalb, IL.

Adoption Update: Ham

Update on Valentino- I had him and my calico Peach separated a few days, but he kept escaping the stacked baby gates. He is out and they are getting along, sleeping together, chasing each other and eating. He is so happy here.

Hi, I’m Xena 💪🐾 I’m a 4-year-old smart, spirited pup, and I’m definitely a girl on a mission! I love playing with toys (tug and fetch are my favorites!) and I am VERY treat motivated. I know sit and down, and I’ve attended basic training—I’m a very smart girl. I’m housebroken and even ring a bell on the door when I need to go out! I like people and love attention. I may bark at visitors at first, but I really just want to be pet once I’ve had a moment to feel comfortable. I would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children. I’m a loyal, loving, intelligent dog who will thrive with patience and structure. I might have some separation anxiety so a home where someone is around a lot would be super! If you’re looking for an under 50 pound, fun, toy-loving, devoted companion, I might be your girl. 💙 Come meet me at Tails Humane Society in DeKalb, IL

Meet the Love of your Life! I’m Eleanor 💕 I’m a soft, friendly 5 yr. old girl who loves people. Being your pup would make me pretty happy 🐾 I just got back from a holiday sleepover and showed everyone what a good girl I can be! I’m potty trained, and I know lots of commands including "down" which means getting off the furniture 😉. I’m very treat motivated and always happy to show off what I know. While I can enjoy playing with other dogs, I tend to do best as the only dog. I promise, though, I make up for it with cuddles, sweetness, and devotion to my people. I’m not fearful, I follow commands well, I love chew toys, and I’ll happily soak up all the pets you’re willing to give. I'm just a very sweet, gentle 43 pound girl who wants her own humans to love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be by your side and fill your home with affection, I might be your girl. Come meet me here at Tails Humane Society in DeKalb— I can’t wait to love you 💖
