Tails and Trails Rescue "Saving those that others cast away." We are a 501c3 non-profit rescue out of central Indiana. Our Rescue is an all-volunteer organization. We are NOT a shelter.

Our dogs are housed in foster homes. Once an applicant is approved for adoption they will meet with the Adoption Coordinator and dog(s) at a designated location. The application process usually takes 24-72 hours, provided references respond. Including an email for references will often speed up the process.

Spring has come such a long way with the patient help of her foster family! Here's an update!
Our foster Spring is very sweet and playful. She enjoys playing with toys and absolutely loves other dogs. She's a total goofball when running outside and is even starting to enjoy napping on the couch.

Spring had a very sheltered life prior to coming into rescue, so everything is a new and scary experience. She needs a patient home, who understands that her crate is her safe place and a playful dog companion to help her continue to learn and trust.

This dreamboat is Luke. He was recently brought into the rescue and is looking for a new place to hang his hat, a foster or forever home. Luke is a 6-year-old Border Collie who weighs a whopping 82 lbs. He is housetrained and crate trained, but not much more is known. Due to his size, we are advising he find a home with older children and space to roam.

Beau's foster mom let us know how he's doing and we wanted to share with you!
"Beau is settling in and loves playing fetch and hanging with my pup. He loves his toys, loves to "chat", and thinks everyone he encounters on our walks is there to see him specifically. He does have one rule that I am still getting used to though, the toys do not belong in the toy basket. As I put the toys back in the basket he insists on immediately removing them, apparently ALL of the toys must be out of the basket all of the time. 😄😄😄😄😄😄"

Beau is 3+ years old and weighs 45lbs. Please contact us to meet Beau for adoption!

Eleanor is wondering, "Can you be my forever person?"
This lovely full-bodied (60 lbs) Border Collie mix is currently with a foster but is looking for some permanent digs. At 11 months, she will have some more growing in her future, so she needs some room to spread out.

Her foster mom recently sent us an update on sweet Eleanor: This has to be my favorite picture of Eleanor Roosevelt yet. She’s going to make someone the perfect family pet once we get her to come out of her shell a little. She gets along with other dogs well. She is still quite skittish of many people, but every noise and person is new to her, so she’s just getting used to the world around her. She’s an all-around well-mannered girl who just prefers slow introductions.

Bella's foster mom wants to brag a bit as well!

It’s sweet Bella bear! She’s very slowly coming out of her shell. She’s definitely goin to need someone who is going to be very very patient with her and know things run on Bella time not yours. She’s great w calm kids and loves other dogs when she warms up to them. She’s learning how to be a dog and play. She’s very food motivated and for the most part potty trained. Bella bear is an amazing girl just got to give her time and show her love.

Finding Home Again: Nick & Gatsby's Story

It is an unfortunate reality of animal rescue that there are times when a dog needs to return to our care. Sometimes, it's for reasons that make us shake our heads—like discovering a puppy is more energetic than expected or growing larger than anticipated. But other times, life changes in ways that are entirely unavoidable.

This is the story of Nick and Gatsby, two bonded brothers adopted from Tails and Trails Rescue three years ago. Due to unexpected family health changes—including a husband's Parkinson's diagnosis and moving into assisted living—their devoted owner can no longer care for them.

These wonderful boys have been amazing companions and deserve a loving new chapter:

Nick: A 70-pound honey bear of independence and love. He loves scanning the perimeter of the yard for trouble, alerting you to visitors, and chewing on bones. Highly food-motivated and sweet when he's not busy protecting the household.

Gatsby: A 65-pound sweetpea and sensitive soul who will happily drape himself over your lap while you watch television. He’s a pro at catching small tennis balls—just say "go long!"—and acts as an indoor snuggler while keeping an eye out.

Both dogs are 3 years and 7 months old, crate-trained, and know the command "Crate is great!" While they are attached to each other, they sometimes get on each other's nerves and might do very well in separate homes, or together.

If you might be the right home for Nick (predominantly tan) or Gatsby (predominantly black)—or both—please reach out to Tails and Trails Rescue to learn more about how to give these sweet brothers a soft landing. 🐾❤️

Please consider fostering or adopting and we could use help spreading the word about these brothers!

Foster Update from JoJo's foster dad: JoJo is doing great! I'm hopeful she gets her first meet and greet soon. She's a 7-year-old border collie mix who loves to retrieve a ball, is good on walks, but doesn't much care for the car.

This lovable homebody is looking for a forever home! At 7 years old, this Border Collie still has plenty of s***k in the tank but has outgrown all the puppy nonsense. Want to learn more about JoJo and set up a meet? Apply to adopt today!
