It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share news we never imagined having to write.
After more than 10 years of rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding loving homes for animals in need, Tails from the Barkside Pet Rescue will be closing our doors.
Rescue work has always been a labor of love. For over a decade we have poured our hearts, time, and personal resources into saving animals who had nowhere else to go. We have celebrated countless adoptions, watched frightened animals learn to trust again, and seen them go on to live the lives they always deserved.
But rescue truly takes a village. Without enough fosters and with very limited support from the surrounding community, we have reached a point where we simply can no longer keep up with the ongoing operating expenses required to continue.
This decision has been heartbreaking and deeply painful for us. The animals have always been our priority, and stepping away from this work is something we never wanted to do.
To everyone who adopted, donated, volunteered, shared our posts, or believed in our mission — thank you. Because of you, so many animals were given a second chance at life. Those lives, those families, and those memories will always mean everything to us.
While this chapter is ending, we will forever be grateful for the animals we were able to save and the community members who stood beside us along the way.
If anyone in the community feels moved to step forward to foster, adopt, or help in any meaningful way during this final chapter, we would be deeply grateful.
Thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️
