🚨🚨🚨We unfortunately had a foster back out, and we now have 2 sweet pups with nowhere to go. Their owner made the extremely brave decision to leave a domestic violence situation, but now there is a serious risk they could lose their beloved pets.

If you or someone you know can open their home for a few months or even weeks, please reach out to us. Now is the time to get involved and help your fellow community members. We provide all food, supplies, and any vet care needed.

We got some fabulous new fosters between June and July, but all foster placements are already FULL!! There is a clear need for this service in the NRV. Tails of Recovery is still a new organization, only established 18 months ago. Everyone on the team is a volunteer, doing what we can outside of our day jobs to make this program successful. We are actively working to build our capacity, so we can help even more of our community members in need!

Please consider donating to support our mission and spreading the word that we are in need of more fosters! Anyone interested in fostering should email us: [email protected]

Please consider helping us out as a foster. Fosters are vital to our program!! We currently have 0 fosters, so please share with anyone who might consider opening their home as a soft place for this pup to land. 🩷

🐾 Tails of Recovery Needs Foster Families! 🐾

At Tails of Recovery, Inc., our mission is to keep families together by providing temporary foster care for pets when their owners are entering treatment for mental health or substance use disorders, or navigating domestic violence.

We believe in the healing power of the human-animal bond. You can help preserve it!

Here’s how you can make a difference:
🏡 Open your home to a pet in need
🥫 We provide the food and supplies
💖 You provide love and a safe space

By fostering, you’re not just caring for a pet--you’re supporting an individual on their journey to recovery and safety.

📩 Interested in fostering?
The application is linked on our page! You can also send us an email at [email protected] and we'll send you the application.

We hope to hear from you soon!
