Our sweet, sensitive, loyal Milo.
You were never dealt the best cards.

Milo came to us as a puppy on death’s door—brought in with parvo and just minutes away from euthanasia. We stepped in, treated him, and gave him the second chance he deserved.

Sadly, that wasn’t the end of his struggles. Milo was later adopted into the wrong hands, where he spent 8 long years living in a cage, skin and bones, with severe allergies left untreated. When we learned of his condition, we took him back in April 2025… and he’s still here, waiting.

We know Milo has his quirks—but who doesn’t?
We know he’s a large, black pittie mix that people often walk right past without a second glance. While others keep looking, we see him.

Milo is looking for a quiet, patient home to live out his golden years. He needs time to feel safe and build trust—but once he does, he becomes your best friend, your couch buddy, and your constant shadow. Despite everything he’s been through, he is truly an easy, gentle dog, and it’s hard to put into words just how special he is.

Right now, Milo spends 18 hours a day alone in a shelter. We’ve done everything we can for him—
✔️ Allergy testing
✔️ Customized diet
✔️ DNA testing
✔️ Ongoing allergy medication
✔️ Temporary housing

Now all he needs… is a home.

✨ Potty trained
✨ Dog friendly
✨ Available for foster or adoption

Please help us change Milo’s ending. He deserves more than this. Share far & wide—his person is out there somewhere

FOSTER NEEDED or Forever Home

Isabel has been waiting at our shelter since September and has never had a foster home. Can you be the one to change that?

She’s potty trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and is surprisingly chill in the house. Isabel loves her toys and bones, plays for a bit, then is perfectly happy curling up for a nap on the couch or in her bed.

✔️ Great with other dogs
✔️ Good with kids
✔️ Knows her name and listens well to “no”

Yes, she’s still a puppy—so she may occasionally think shoes are toys and counters are snack bars but she redirects easily and truly wants to please. A true retriever

Isabel doesn’t need much… just a safe place to land and someone to love her while she waits for her forever home.

Can you foster Isabel or help by sharing this post? Every share helps her get one step closer to home: https://www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org/foster

🌟 Sunday Spotlight: Mildred 🌟

Say hello to Mildred, a 5-month-old medium-sized mixed breed puppy with a joyful personality and a heart full of love! This sweet girl is dog- and people-friendly, crate trained, and doing wonderfully with her potty routine. With consistency, she’s nearly house-trained and eager to keep learning.

Mildred is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She loves romping around with other dogs, chewing on her favorite toys, exploring new spaces, and then curling up next to her humans for a well-earned nap. She truly thrives on being close to her people and has a big desire to please. Already, she’s learning basic commands like sit, come, leave it, and up—what a smart pup!

Because she’s still a growing puppy, Mildred would do best in a home with older kids or dog-savvy adults who understand normal puppy behavior. She’s adjusting beautifully to kennel time and is well on her way to becoming a wonderful lifelong companion.

If you’re ready to commit to training, puppy classes, and a lifetime of love, Mildred is ready to give you endless cuddles, kisses, and happiness in return. 💕🐾

Meet Cocoa! 🐾🤎

Cocoa is a 1-year-old, 8 lb Pomeranian with a playful spirit and a sweet, affectionate heart. This little guy is dog-friendly, loves to play, and would be happiest in a home with another dog to keep him company. He has a gentle, friendly play style and endless enthusiasm for fun.

Cocoa thrives on attention and affection and turns into a cuddly lovebug once he feels comfortable. He’s discovering the joy of toys (stuffies are his favorite!) and brings lots of happy energy to everything he does. An older-kid home is recommended so he can build confidence at his own pace.

With patience, companionship, and lots of love, Cocoa will make a wonderful and devoted little companion.
