Pet of the Week: Bailey!

Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m a sweet and steady 7-year-old lady who’s happiest in a peaceful home with someone who appreciates quiet companionship! I already know my manners- I’m house trained, walk politely on leash, and know my basic commands! My favorite thing in the world is leaning into my person for gentle pets and love, I’m a loyal snuggle buddy through and through. ❤

I can be a little shy with strangers and protective of my space, so I’d do best in a calm home without young kids or lots of visitors. I’ve enjoyed the company of other low-key pups with proper introductions, but busy dog parks just aren’t my scene! A stroll around the block, a pup cup, and a cozy spot by your side? That’s my perfect day!

I may take some time to warm up, but once I trust you, I’ll be your most devoted friend. A generous supporter even donated most of my adoption fee to help me find my forever home. Could you be the person I’ve been waiting for?

Come and meet me at Tails Humane Society in DeKalb, IL today!

Meet Piano, the quiet melody waiting to fill your home with sweet notes of love and curiosity. This young domestic short hair may be shy at first—like a soft intro before the big performance—but with a patient owner to coax her out, she’ll hit all the right keys of affection and playfulness. Piano loves exploring new spaces like a little maestro and absolutely adores attention, especially when it comes with gentle chin scratches and quiet cuddles. If you’re ready to be her audience and help her sing her sweetest song, Piano is ready to make beautiful music with you! She is here at Tails, peacefully sharing a room with other cats. Stop by!

Here is an updated picture of Peso who is now named Atlas!

Hi, I'm W***y! A shy but sweet 1 yr. old guy who loves being close to you and enjoys a good run and playtime. I'm great on leash and love fetch, but I can be a bit shy at first and need someone patient to help me warm up slowly. Talking to me in a soft, calm voice helps me feel safe, and I'm a big fan of treats (especially peanut butter and strawberries!). Maybe you've seen me in some of the Tails playgroup videos. I really like playing with other dogs that respect me. I'm house-trained and I'll let you know when I need to go out. I'd do best in a quiet home with a fenced yard where I can burn off all my energy. If you're looking for a loyal buddy who'll grow to trust and love you, come ASK to meet me soon as I'm in a quieter spot! Oh, and I weigh around 22 pounds!
