Tails of Hope does not take animals from the public. We are happy to assist you with proper ways to rehome your animal. All of our animals come from shelters where they have run out of time. All are temperament tested prior to bringing them into Tails of Hope. We do our best to put all animals in a foster home prior to adoption but our foster homes are limited. If you can open your home and heart to an animal while it waits for a permanent home, please contact us about fostering.
