February 2026
February is off to a great start thanks to you! Keep scrolling for adoption highlights, upcoming events, and adoptables ready to steal your heart!
For just a $10 donation, we’ll put your ex's name exactly where it belongs-written on paper in a litter box and onto a doggy poop bag that will be proudly put to use at the shelter.
You get a little petty justice and the warm fuzzy feeling of helping homeless pets this Valentine’s Day. Everyone wins! (Except your enemy.)
Please note: This fundraiser is just for fun. There’s no physical prize- the real reward is supporting shelter pets and knowing your nemesis’ name is living its best (worst) life.
Thurs, March 19 6-8 PM Blumen Gardens Sycamore, IL
Sip & Sparkle is a $35 night out filled with fabulous jewelry swapping, great food and drinks, raffle prizes, photo ops, and fun perks like a swag bag, wine glass, drink ticket, and raffles- all to benefit Tails Humane Society!
We are thrilled to share that Tails Humane Society has been named the winner of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 Nonprofit Organization Award!
We’re truly honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible organizations. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing staff, volunteers, and supporters- this award belongs to you. We couldn’t do what we do without your compassion and dedication.
February's Featured Adoptable: Jameson!
Handsome, happy, and ready to be your new best friend! I’m Jameson, a guy with a big zest for life and an even bigger 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. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving gentleman with lots of love to give, I might just be your guy.
