Tiny N Tall Rescue, Inc.

Tiny N Tall Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non for profit organization comprised of volunteers dedicated to providing temporary shelter, veterinary care and behavioral support for small and giant breed dogs as they transition into carefully selected homes. We rescue Tiny breeds under 25 pounds and Giant breeds. Our rescue is all foster based and we rely solely on donations. We provide medical care, shelter, a full belly and lots of LOVE to Tiny and Giant breed dogs. We have a great team of foster homes and volunteers that make this possible. Tiny N Tall Rescue, Inc. was established in 2017 by Melissa Young and Niccalina Santilli, who both grew up with tiny dogs and now as adults both own Great Danes . After recognizing the need for a rescue dedicated to the tinies and talls of the canine world, the rest was history! They dedicate their time to providing medical care, shelter, a full belly and lots of LOVE to tiny and giant breed dogs until they find their furever homes.

We do adopt out of state, however, The Applicant, ALL dogs, AND anyone that is living in the home, are responsible for coming to meet the dog, and transporting home. NO EXCEPTIONS. We are based out of Saint Charles, IL. and All of our available dogs are in foster homes through out the state. Everyone living in your household must be in agreement on adopting. Must have any approval needed by either a Landlord or Association. The Adopter must be at least 21 years of age. Must go through adoption approval process by TNT before meeting our adoptable dogs. Requirements for ALL resident dogs in the home: All resident dogs must be spayed/neutered by 6 months old. If they have a medical condition that prevents it, we will need a note from your vet. All dogs must also have: • Up to date Rabies Vaccine • Up to date DHLPP vaccine​ • Monthly Flea and Tick prevention • Monthly Heartworm Prevention (We will make exceptions for certain circumstances at TNT's discretion) We require all of our adopters to sign their newly adopted pet up for a 6 week basic training course. You will be required to provide us proof once signed up & completed. ​ Fill out and submit our adoption application. Once your application has been filled out and submitted for review, a volunteer from our applications team will reach out to let you know it is being processed. Our Adoption Team will start by reaching out to conduct your personal phone interview, they will check your vet and personal references, and will email you with instructions on how to complete your virtual home check. The application process typically takes about 5-7 days, from start to finish. Please remember, we are all volunteers, so please be patient if it takes a little longer. Once all of that is completed, and your application has been reviewed and approved for adoption from TNT, you will then receive an approval email with instructions on the next steps to adopt from TNT! All of Tiny N Tall’s adoptable dogs will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption (unless they are too young or for health reasons, in which case we will have a spay/neuter contract), up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, microchip with tag and free lifetime registration, 4dx heartworm and tick born disease tested, a new collar & leash, a Tiny N Tall id tag on collar, and a “Welcome to your New Home” Tiny N Tall Rescue reusable bag that includes: a bag of their current food to help transition, 1 Kong, a bag of treats, any of their favorite toys they had while in foster care, 30 days free pet insurance, and an adoption info packet to help you and your new family member transition smoothly into their new home!
