Events
Tails is 100% donor funded. Your support helps us accomplish this life saving work.
Our largest fundraiser, Tropical Tails dinner and auction celebrates the impact our supporters create each year. Together we are saving lives! Please mark your calendars and join us for a wonderful evening of dinner, cocktails and fun!
Mutt Strut
One of the area’s only dog-friendly 5K run/walks, Mutt Strut is the second Saturday of September. Come out and run for the rescues as we raise money for the thousands of animals that we care for each year.
Announcements
Clear The Shelter
Tails will be participating in our 3rd annual clear the shelter event. On August 19th from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM, all adult animals (6 months and older) will have their adoption fee waived!
QUICK TIPS FOR CLEAR THE SHELTER:
-If you rent, please bring your signed lease with your current address that matches your current ID. The lease must state you have landlord approval for a pet.
-If you're adopting a pet into a family, please bring your family, not just one person representing the family.
-Many of our dogs available will require a meet and greet with current dogs in the home. Please plan to bring your dog or complete meet and greets earlier in the week
-The line starts early outside of Tails. Please plan ahead accordingly and assume there will be a waiting period outdoors.
