No tricks, just TREATS… and adoptable dogs!

Halloween may be all about spooky surprises, but we have something even better waiting for you… DOGS LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES!

Forget the candy bowl — what these pups really want is a family to call their own. Someone to share cozy nights, endless belly rubs, treats, toys, and all the love they’ve been waiting for.

Our adoptable dogs aren’t asking for much this Halloween… just a chance to be someone’s happily ever after.

Don’t let these sweet faces haunt the shelter any longer!

Make this Halloween extra special by adopting, sharing, or helping us spread the word!

Browse our adoptable dogs and find your new best friend!

WFH or retired friends… we need you!

Wally the Rottweiler is looking for his very own TWO-WEEK vacation home while we tackle renovations.

Wally loves people, gets along with other dogs, and is an all-around good boy. His one little request? He is NOT a fan of the crate.. Poor guy look at his face.

He’d do best in a home where someone is around often and can give him the companionship he loves.

Could you open your home to Wally for just 2 weeks starting November 2nd?

Two weeks of your time would mean the world to Wally (and us!). Sign up: https://www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org/foster

Sweets is looking for a foster home!

This beautiful 75-pound Doberman girl has a whole lot of love to give and just needs someone willing to give her a chance.

Sweets is a total people-lover who adores her humans. She's affectionate, goofy, playful, potty-trained, crate-trained, and always up for a long walk followed by a serious couch nap.

Sweets would do best as the only pet in the home (no cats) and needs an experienced, confident handler who can continue helping her build confidence on walks and work through her separation anxiety. A home with a secure 6-foot fence or no fence is required.

We know her perfect person is out there. Could you be the one to give Sweets a safe place to land while she waits for her forever home?

9 MONTHS AT OUR FACILITY. ZERO FOSTER HOMES. CAN YOU HELP HER?

She came to us in February, and for the last 9 months, she’s watched other dogs come and go while she waits for her turn. She’s never had the chance to experience life in a home of her own.

Now, we’re asking for just TWO WEEKS.

Fetching Tails Foundation is preparing for major renovations at our facility, and we need to move our dogs into temporary foster homes while the work is being done. This girl needs someone to open their home and give her a much-needed break from shelter life.

Could that someone be YOU?

🐾 HER FAST FACTS:
💚 40 lbs of sweetness
🐶 Dog-friendly — prefers polite, submissive male dogs
🐱 No cats — she has a high prey drive
🏡 Potty-trained AND crate-trained
👧 Older kids preferred (10+)
🥰 Sweet, affectionate, and still has those adorable puppyish manners
🌳 Requires a 5–6 ft privacy fence and No Shared Walls (apartments/etc.)

We know two weeks might not seem like much, but to a dog who has spent 9 months living in a facility, it could mean EVERYTHING.

A soft place to sleep. A couch to cuddle on. A family to love on her. A chance to finally experience what it feels like to be a dog in a home.

You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. You just have to be willing to open your home temporarily. Sign up here: https://www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org/foster

🚨 HOW has Milka been waiting 5 MONTHS?! 🚨

This adorable 6-month-old Border Collie girl is smart, silly, playful, dog-friendly, and an expert at zoomies followed by snuggles. 🖤🐾

Milka was surrendered to a shelter when her owner suffered a stroke and could no longer care for her. Despite the changes in her young life, she has adjusted beautifully and is thriving in foster care.

She already knows sit, down, paw, spin, come, and “house,” and she’d especially love a home with another playful pup to be her BFF.

Milka has been patiently waiting five months for her forever family. Maybe they just haven’t seen her yet. 🥹

🏡 Could Milka be your girl? Meet her & apply to adopt her:

CAPONE NEEDS A TEMPORARY FOSTER STARTING 11/3 for 2 weeks only. Can you help with a short fostering gig?

We’re making some BIG renovations at Fetching Tails Foundation, and we need your help! Every dog currently living at our facility needs a temporary foster home for just TWO WEEKS while we make improvements (more on that soon!)

Can you open your home to Capone?

Capone came to us from a shelter in Texas and went straight into our facility. Months later, he’s STILL waiting. He’s never had the chance to experience life in a foster home, and not a single adoption application has come in for him.

Let’s change that!

🐶 Meet Capone:
💚 52 lbs of pure love
🐾 Dog-friendly with proper introductions
🐱 No cats — he has a high prey drive
🏡 Potty-trained AND crate-trained
👧 Older kids preferred (10+)
☀️ 5-6 Foot fence and no shared walls (apartments and such.)
❤️ Certified VELCRO DOG — your shadow, your sidekick, your new bestie!

Can you give Capone a place to land for TWO WEEKS starting November 3?

After renovations are complete, he can return to our facility if needed. But who knows… you might just fall in love and decide to make him a permanent part of your family!

You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. You just have to open your heart and home temporarily. If you can foster Capone, please submit a foster application-> https://www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org/foster

Jamie has officially found her people, and we couldn't be happier! 🥹

Paragon sponsored her adoption fee during October, and it worked out beautifully as she got the chance she needed to land her fur-ever home. Here's wishing Jamie a tail-wagging, adventure-filled future! 💙
