Five Below Fundraiser

Support homeless pets while you get your back-to-school shopping done at Five Below in DeKalb between August 7-14! Present the flyer when you checkout and 10% will be donated to Tails Humane Society. Stop by Tails to grab a flyer, or print one from here.

This is also during the Illinois Sales Tax Holiday, so you will pay less and still be supporting animals in need!

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! Get Involved
