Adoptable Dogs

Pet’s listed on this site are currently adoptable. You can see a pet’s current location as well as their status. If a pet is reserved, that means that a family will be meeting it and we are unable to schedule another meeting for that pet at this time. However, if that falls through we can contact our back-up list for that pet. If you would like to be added to a back-up list, please fill out the adoption application and let a team member know at the time of approval. We do adopt out of state but adopters will be required to drive to our facility in Illinois for a meet and greet and the dog that they apply for MUST already be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption. We do not adopt out littermates to the same family. We do allow walk-in’s but you will need to do an application, which can be completed on site, prior to us bringing any dogs out to meet you. Please be ready to adopt in the very near future. We only hold dogs for same day appointments! Please bring a valid form of ID and a MARTINGALE COLLAR, LEASH AND SLIP LEAD- if you don’t have these items, you will have to go to the store before taking a dog home. We have limited collars and slip leads for sale. For walk-ins, we will not guarantee that any of the dogs on our site will be available for viewing. We try to keep the website as up to date as possible! Some dogs have attributes listed, like dog or cat friendly, if it’s not listed- we may not have this information yet. All dogs can be cat or dog tested upon request. Please email us with any questions adopt@bordertailsrescue.org.
