Many Ways to Help

We need you and so do the animals! At Tails, we offer a variety of exciting opportunities designed to provide the best quality of life for homeless animals in our care. There are opportunities to work directly with our animals or you can support us behind the scenes. There is something for everyone age 5 years and up!

Virtual Baby Shower

Last year alone, Tails cared for nearly 1,500 homeless and orphan baby kittens and puppies in our shelter and foster program. This year will be no different and we sure could use your help! From now until, Sunday, May 31, Tails will be hosting a Virtual “Baby Shower”. It’s easy to participate and save lives! Simply visit our Amazon Baby Shower Wishlist  to donate some much needed supplies or make a lifesaving monetary donation. Your donation, no matter how small or large will help us to provide for the hundreds of babies in our care this year. 
 
Are you interested in helping homeless and orphan animals but don’t know where to start? Why not become a foster during this busy baby season. Find out more at or apply here.
